Anybody feels lucky for discovering PMO addiction & Nofap??

Yeah I also feel very lucky about finding nofap and PMO addiction. I really had no idea about it a week ago. I am 18 so I guess you would be a little jealous of me? Well, I had never heard negative comments about nofap, I have heard people saying that "science has found that masturbation is good for your health" but that is a full lie. And you are right, that is just people being in denial.

 

The support for pornography is simply a marketing ploy. There's really nothing healthy about it beyond exploring what interests you and what doesn't. You're a smart man who not listening to public opinion and an inclination toward personal experience.

 

You have made two very interesting points my friend. Well, the real cult that I find out there is witchcraft and psychic reading tarot cards.

 

that is a lie but it has long term side effects about your health

 

Actually if you look at http://yourbrainonporn.com there is a lot of science. What's missing is people in the mainstream talking about it.

 

I too feel lucky for discovering Nofap. Beside giving me the idea and willing to abstain PM, it has caused me to start other good changes in my lifestyle either, well however some of them are still just some ideas and thoughts but still ... From what I have experienced and learned, Nofap should not be just about quitting PM, the addiction should be replaced by good habits and productive activities which are important in life, otherwise you would not get the result you expect.

 

Actually, I only heard him mention 1 paper rejected - but the guy that wrote that paper (Grubbs), and made the change to "perceived porn addiction" then did a bunch more work, publishing, and publicizing. And another guy came along for the ride. Per the vid you linked, Grubbs has ignored challenges from Gabe Deen to distinguish "perceived porn addiction" and actual addiction. What a piece of shit that Grubbs guy is.

ETA: Your main point isn't as far off as I was thinking it was: much of the scientific world is in denial about this. The good science is there - but it's getting contradicted by the shitty science.

 

Sadly, it took me a few years until I realized what I was doing was wrong, and even then I thought it was only religious-wise. All the sites I looked at that spoke about the subject of stopping PMO spoke mostly about the religious issue, and a bit of the mental issue (how you come to view women), but not other issues. I guess nobody - until Nofap came - stopped to consider that there may be many ramifications to PMOing.

 

Sadly, I don't think that's true. A few of the more corrupt "scientists" seem to have found this to be in their interests and they've been quoted in more popular places lik Psychology Today. And "no such thing as porn addiction" is something every porn user wants to hear. Especially the addicts.
