    Hi everybody. I joined NoFap as part of my journey out from depression. I was really really depressed, and then one day, sort of, i took a step forward my will to change my life, and i started many good habits at the same time. Habits like, meditation, running, cold showers, GYM, no social media, and also NoFap. I can say that now, thanks to all this habits i feel well and at the moment i am not depressed, and i am sure that NoFap is a good habit, but is it a good habit for teenagers too?
    I am afraid to start fapping again, but sometimes i really want to, and i stop myself. Is it healthy for teenagers to not masturbate at all? Or it is healthier to fap once a week or something? And again, i am already doing this for 77 days, so it is not that it is hard to me to stop, i am only wondering and making sure i am doing the healthiest things i can so i won't fall back to depression again.

  3. I would recommend getting that day count to 90 and asking yourself that question again when that happens.

    "Do I really want to fall back into the same depressing state as 3 months ago after giving myself a 10-minute high?"

    You can do it. :)

    I am 16 as well. It is not healthy for a teenage guy to retain semen for extended periods of time. I was on top of the world for the first couple of weeks of nofap, then I went into a deep depression where nothing was enjoyable. I was even worse off than before. And I know everyone will just call it a flatline, but look up the symptoms of low libido. The saying, "If you don't use it, you'll lose it" is very true. But you have to be careful. Use it, don't abuse it. Everyone is different. My advice is to masturbate only when you feel like you can't hold it in any longer and are super horny and will hump anything lol
    But, DO NOT use masturbation to cope, such as fapping when you're bored, tired, angry etc. Once I started masturbating in moderation and without porn, I felt so much better. My advice to you is to listen to your body and go with your gut feeling. Only you know yourself. Good luck.

    Even tho this is called nofap Porn is the biggest issue here, There are 3 different stages you can do this, No Porn, No Porn & Masturbation or lastly No Porn, Masturbation or Orgasm(Sex). Porn is the big evil. if you never use your PC muscles they will become weak and you'll perform poorly when you will have sex.

    It's the muscle you use to stop the stream while urinating, try to hold it for a few seconds every time you pee, or anytime of the day you like.

    As long as you stay away from Porn you're good, just don't masturbate every day, don't really do it more than once a week.

    That's my thoughts :) good luck :)

    "If you don't use it, you'll lose it". Thats a big lie. I've once did 30 days without touching myself and i noticed my penis was much harder at sex so thats just a way you're mind tells you to go back to masturbating.

    Why do you think we man have morning wood(morning erections) , random boners erections without a reason.Or lets not forget wet dreams. Its our body making sure it still works. So don't worry if you don't masturbate you will still be able to get a erection and to perform.

    A lot of animals don't have the option to masturbate or primitive ancestors didn't masturbate i would even say that our ancestors would have not a lot of sex at all in their live probably
    sex with maximum 3 different woman. because smaller groups in the wild.

    Strange how people who stop using porn and heavy masturbation notice their morning wood and wet dreams are coming back or is it not strange .. the natural state of man...


    I would say that if you want to become the perfect version of yourself you should also give up masturbation because it will change you're mind you will les crave sex and affection and become more confident. Why do you want to become a slave of you're mind?

    Giving up masturbation completely is essential for the health of every age of man. Wet dreams are doing the job of getting rid of useless fluid, our body is on auto-pilot naturally for this purpose. Don't give yourself the excuse that I'm super horny so I should go and fap. Rather, try to build self control then!

    There is nothing wrong with no masturbation. Several religions around the world forbid masturbation and the men of these religions never O until they’re married. We don’t see an increase of health problems in these religions - in fact they generally prosper (look at the Jews..)

  9. As someone who has more days under their belt, I'd like to offer this counter argument - it isn't a cure-all. For a majority of guys, NoFap will help you improve areas of your life in ways that will surprise you. In my case, I feel no more confident in myself than I have at any point in my life since 12 (WELL before I started M), and probably less confident now than I did at a month in. I am still depressed (probably unhealthily so), which is something I've come to accept as just my natural state.

    You're sticking with the programme, and with your goals - that's all that matters. That you feel better is great.

  10. Congrats on 77 days!

    There’s nothing long with masturbation by the way, just don’t do it too excess. As far as depression, I would talk to a doctor or psychologist about healthy habits. I’m aware of good sleep, exercise, and social support
