This is the truth about NoFap in short... (The Bold print is the short answer)

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by Deleted Account, Sep 19, 2017.

  1. NoFap is not some type of magic pill to give you more confidence, makes you an alpha or or more outgoing and attractive. That is Complete BS. Sorry for bursting your bubble.

    • The only thing that it does is break your porn addiction and saves you from having sexual problems like weak erections and ED.
    _____________________________________________

    I stopped Fapping weeks ago My porn addiction is over. I am sure the next time I have sex my Dick will be rock hard. but my emotional state is fuckt.

    I broke up with a girl of 2 years 2 months ago and my life just feels really fuckt. I dont feel like i want to meet someone else. I cant stop reminiscing about all the great times over the last 2 years. All gone now.
    I have met new people and went on one or two dates but I feel like its all so superficial.
    Have not had Sex since May. I keep wanting my old life back.
    The breakup with my ex was a combination of our living circumstances (I moved with her into her parents house in a town 100km away) I had issues and pushed her away and became selfish because I was depressed. Our communication was the demise in the end.
    But when i wanted her back and wanted to reconcile things she wanted nothing to do with me. Which is insane because she was insanely inlove with me. I have no idea how things ended up the way they did. It took 20 days for it all to end.
    _______________________________________________________

    Now I am 27 years old and moved back to the city where i still have some friends who i hang out with. i've met some new people but there is no real interest.
    I started Nofap to fix myself, started doing Kegels, started gymming hard (made a gym bro to train with).

    But still I feel like a walking void. I am empty. the plan for my life never happened. I wanted to get engaged later this year and now I just feel fuckt all day.

    ______________________________________________________

    So yeah, sorry but not masturbating wont make you feel like you want to meet new people or give you some new Alpha male confidence super powers. in 2015 I was pretty Alpha even though I still jacked off everyday, building relationships was easy. Now I feel awfully alone. And i think this website and forum only exists for people who feel lost, lonely or worthless to huddle together.

    I'm not sure that either "weeks ago" or a sample size of exactly 1 person is a definitive conclusion on this subject. But perhaps that's beside the point...

    I suspect most people didn't go - Happy, Happy, Happy, Fap, More Fap, PMO, More PMO, Unhappy...

    I suspect there is an underlying cause to many people's PMO. And that be removing it will expose that underlying problem which will then need to be addressed directly. All forms of escapism do just that - allow you to escape, for a time, from emotional difficulties.

    Good luck dealing with your situation. Losing someone you love sucks hard. Fortunately we can and do bounce back. Time and effort work wonders.

    Keep the faith!

    There is one benefit that is beyond discussion: the time gained.

  5. Thanks dude. Yea i have no Idea what the hell happened in my life, 3 months ago I was on top of the world and life was great now everything has derailed. and now i am posting on this site. I just feel like life fuckt me. I dont go out much because most of my mates are either in very serious relationships or married. Or are shut in geeks who would rather play games on steam all damn day...


    so yeah. NoFap for me was just fixing myself up and quiting porn. I have been watching porn since high school and it is an addiction that I stopped now. I know I will never watch porn again. however i do get horny and fantasize but yeah.

    I suggest you head over to www.yourbrainonporn.com and check out the numerous anecdotal reports and peer-reviewed scientific articles, which suggest that pre-existing conditions are NOT a requirement for porn addiction to develop.

    Some people got addicted because of their miserable childhood and teenage years. Others got addicted because watching porn simply released an artificially high amount of dopamine.

    However, I do agree with you in general terms: those who think NoFap is the be-all and end-all of personal development are building their reboot on a shaky foundation, and are more likely to relapse when they find out that women don't throw their bras at them on sight.

    You have no idea of how similar are situations are but im hoping theres light at the end of the tunnel ,the tunnel being the 90 day NoFap challenge.90 days just 1st step for me im off it for life..I too dont go out much alot of my friends moved over seas and fell out with a few of them and its hard to make new friends now busy with work etc and i wouldnt be an awful sociable person these days due to my weed addiction and pmo addiction.But im off both of them now ,off the weed alot longer than the porn.i too find myself fantasizeing alot but i just try to think of other shit and it usually works .Your not alone man im sure life will improve for you now that youve given up porn just like im sure it will improve for me in time .Never give up ,your not alone even if you find yourself lonely these days .ive been lonely for more years than id like to say but im more optimistic than ever now .

    24 man ,the last 4 r 5 years porn has ruined my life.was happy all my teenage years had lots of friend and was with a good few girls but my life has gone to shit since.
     
  10. I was with a girl from when I was 20 - 23. after that it all went to shit. I got better and then met this new girl when I was 25 and now at 27 its over. I just feel fuckt man. I keep thinking about the good times, the love, what could have been. Fuck...
     
  11. I would be happy to be in my late 20's right now. Still tons of opportunities. Sure, there are still some great opportunities when you're in your 30's but people start settling down, getting married, and having kids. So, enjoy your age. Go out and make new friends. Put yourself out there. Keep up with these healthy habits since they will improve you as an individual.

    Sorry to hear about the break up. That's difficult when you were desiring to have a future with that person. I've been through something similar and it wasn't easy. I spent a lot of time lamenting that I had lost "the one" which, imo, is a toxic belief. The idea that there is only one person you could be compatible with is unreasonable and unrealistic. The reality is there are multiple ones in this world so I now look at it as that one or this one, not the one. The only time that and this will become the is when I get married and take that vow.

    Lastly, understand that your relationship status doesn't determine your worth. The sooner you realize that the better. Be secure in yourself and know that you are enough. By doing this you'll be able to treat the other person as a gift instead of some possession that you have to keep or can't live without.
