    So I've become more confident even since NoFap and stuff but I've seen people who fap on a regular basis and are still confident, do well in games, and stuff.
    Is NoFap a placebo effect thingy or what?
     
  2. I'm a believer that the Placebo Effect is actually a great thing, and something not to be taken for granted. Now I think that some people have outlandish expectations, but I think a lot of it does work. Many here are addicted, and by overcoming the addiction (to PMO,) they gain the confidence to tackle other parts of their life they may be lacking in. I find that attributing the gains they make in other areas to NoFap to be stretching it slightly.

    It's like NoFap is a catalyst for many. I don't think that say NoFap makes you say fitter, it was instead the confidence of tackling NoFap that may have lead you to excercise. The excercise itself made you fitter.

    A lot of great people abstain from pmo. Boxers and even entrepreneurs!

    The evidence proves P is a major cause of erectile dysfunction amongst young men and also causes lack of motivation.

    Honestly mate. Avoid P and stick to real women
     
  5. I would avoid sex altogether, fornication is a serious sin, and regardless of modern social moars, can lead you down a terrible path. Casual sex, fornication, adultry, whoremongry, are every bit as bad and addictive as PMO. Find you a real woman, and marry her, or stay celibate.

  6. It's because those guys aren't addicted. Porn, in moderation, won't fuck your shit up compared to 2-3 times daily.

    So does nofap work? If you actually have a porn addiction, it helps alot. Just the support part of it to know that other people are going through the same thing is relief.

    But if you dont have a porn addiction, then it would only benefit minimally. If you fall under this category, perhaps knowing about porn addiction alone would let you moderate your intake, as to not run into a problem.

    Yes it's a placebo, and it's also not. Because you think it's having an effect it's having an effect, while at the same time you taking more control means you feel more in control.
    What's it to you if other people masturbate and are still confident? You are confident and don't masturbate. You're not them and they're not you, so be the best you possible!
