Obviously, it really depends on you. If you are damaged by porn, then do no porn. If you are a married person, then do no pm. If you are single and don't have any partner and you are mentally and physically ruined, then do no pmo. It's all about choice brother.
There are a lot of people doing it for even over a year and they are still alive, some doctors predict dumb crap cause they read some stuff that might be just as old like the rumor that people on NoFap get prostate cancer.
21 times a month isn't that crazy. You would get there if fapped once a day. 31 days in a month, 30 for others, 28 for the smallest month.
the ideas of some of the comments on this thread were what brought me to find this forum. i was lead to believe from many sources over time, it was healthy and stress relieving to rub one out, to go to sleep, etc..... so nothing to do specifically with using porn to fap etc. but just fapping to wind down.
This thread covers a lot of stuff that I've been curious about. Just started nofap yesterday and gonna go for the 90 day reboot. In my gut I've felt like I needed to do something like this for a long time but I've never been able to go more than 2-3 weeks on my own. I've always been highly oversexed whether in relationship or on my own but it's been a long time now since I've had a relationship. I stopped picking up girls to have random sex a long time ago and opted for more perverted things like groups and bdsm etc. The past almost 4 years I've been abstaining from real life sex wanting a reset, but because I never gave up PMO I feel like I haven't reset nor progressed now in a really f'ing long time like maybe even 20 years of draining myself over and over and over again. I'm at a point where nofap seems like the only thing that can have a chance to work and fully recharge my batteries back up all the way. For the original question, I've read a lot about this now as I once got prostatitis when I stopped masturbating and don't want to get it again. But having been through this cycle endlessly now for so many years of over-sex and over stimulation and basically total numbness and can't get turned on by anything except super kinky porn, there is only one option for me: total reboot. I'll be happy to share my experiences here if I experience any negative side effects. I've taken more efforts now with a mostly plant based diet now, and doing a ton of yoga and meditation/relaxation, working on other areas of my life, getting more exercise. I like seeing everyone here taking on the issues of fundamentally is this good, bad, dangerous, helpful, different-for-each-person-who-tries-it, whatever it is. Let's don't call each other names and do the personal attacks. Everyone in here is making efforts in personal transformation, to be the best version of ourselves we can be. Seriously that's amazing.
Actually i feel really blissful and awesome after relapse. Check my post https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?t...d-why-fapping-and-sex-is-good-for-you.288468/
