My point of view:
I saw you guys were talking about NoFap. On my journey this topic cross my road too, and I decided to give it a try, since this is the best way to find out for yourself (what it does, how does it work for you as individual).
short history of my "nofap":
- first time tried it about 4-5 months ago, have a few "runs" with no masturbation from 1 week to 6 weeks,
- before I masturbated about 5 times - 10 times a week, and have regular sex with my girlfriend,
- I started this test with same time along with my friend, and we exchange thoughts, ideas, changes, benefits etc. I think it's easier at start if u have someone to talk about it, can be pretty hard take masturbation away
BENEFITS (the benefits are very connected together:
1. Stability (i find my self very stable, calmer),
2. Clarity (i started to see things more clearer, talking clearer, seeing solutions fast,...)
3. Focus (a bit improvement on focus)
4. Awareness (I started to noticed that I'm much more aware of many things I did not recognize before), more living in the moment
5. No depression/No Anxiety (well this might be very interesting one, but I think this one is just result of benefits above
6. Pretty much fearless
7. Energy and attraction (u can feel your energy more, and seems like girls can feel it too),
8. Honesty (I started to be more honest with myself - very, very important.
Those are main things I started to noticed. I developed listening/reading to other things too. But I think in general, most credit goes to NoFap.
Conclusion:
I think anyone should at least try this. Gives you new pair of lenses
I don't know how long will I practise this or how long intervals, but one thing I know for sure now, masturbating on daily bases, is abusing this most powerful energy we have inside. And when we release that energy we become "weaker" or at least less motivated.
I would also want to see this video on this topic from you Leo, and see your perspective on this1
For any that read this post, I suggest at least don't masturbate in the morning, even with just this little change you'll noticed a difference. Staying charged trough the day.
In anyway, don't beat yourself up if u masturbate a lot, u should not felling any guilt because of it. It is normal, just try not to abuse it to much.
Hope this helps
