    Honestly, I'll take the word of the hundreds of people who have completed nofap over the word of a Psychology Journal. No offense, but hundreds or thousands of actual people with positive results compared to one study doesn't mean that it doesn't work.

    Who cares. Let them be ignorant and live in bad shit.

    And besides.. It's by that David J. Ley moron. Gary Wilson already schooled this guy plenty.

    I personally have seen and felt the benifits of nofap. It is real. Porn is a profitable industry. Some people rule the world by it. They won't let such small communities as nofap ruin it.

    "Any publicity is good publicity."

    He has one good point - NoFap is far ahead of science. The rest is mostly his own unfounded beliefs and irrelevant history.
    (That is in regard to the first article.)

    The second article is pretty good.
    It goes to show, that yourbrainonporn.com haven't got it quite right. Honestly, I'm not surprised.
    However I don't think it means PMO is not an addiction, rather it means it works quite differently than "normal" addictions because it is a very basic desire.

    Either way, what matters is, that PMO and its overuse is a widespread phenomenon, resulting from our lifestyle, culture, and availability of porn. Positive experiences of people abstaining from masturbation suggest it causes a host of problems, as does common sense.
    Science is lacking in the area, but what more do you need to know..

    "The past hundred years of advance in sexual medicine tells us that masturbation is very, very healthy—people who masturbate more, on average, have healthier relationships, live longer, know more about their own bodies and have better sex lives."... MY ASS
    If we had such good relationships and all that BS we wouldn't be here in the first place! would we?
