No-fap Vs No-porn

[PetarKa]

I'm doing a 100-day challenge without porn in order to free myslef from the addiction.

Though I was wondering are there any psychological and phisiological differences between not watching porn at all but masturbating vs going cold-turkey all the way and not masturbating at all. Some links / videos / your own knowledge would be helpful.

Thanks upfront. ?

I am at no porn for 5 months and man... women are amazing!! You can have conversations with them without thinking having sex with them or without staring their boobs all the time

nofap is extremely good for spirituality, I don't know why but it's like a cheatcode, if you don't fap and on top of that there are times when you're going without much sex it's like your energy just starts boiling inside.
I call it a cheatcode because I have gone through very intense energy awakenings during such periods. 
just by not fapping.

now the no-porn version is still a very valuable challenge. especially if you're trying to come off an addiction. 
no-porn is still very good because you'll start getting in touch more with your imagination. 
instead of using videos, you get in touch with your imagination in a very passionate way. 
to use your imagination in joyful ways is very good for spirituality. 
it's also very good in the sense that you can't get addicted to masturbating without porn. 
imagination takes a lot of energy, so you'll naturally follow your own pace of excitement. 
to open up a porn video takes no energy, and you can look around till you get excited.
this doesn't work with imagination, if you're not excited, you're not going to look to make yourself excited with imagination as one
can't just freely snoop around his imagination. imagination takes focus and energy

so fapping with imagination is a very good spiritual practice as well.
no-fap is the best in my opinion, but that is from my point of view, the best practice is always the one that feels right to you in this moment

Thanks for the feedback! ?

Do both.

No porn is kind of useless if you don't stop masturbation altogether because you'll still fantasize women in your head while fapping.

Even if you don't and just focus on your pleasure, it's still a waste of time and energy, so there is no excuses.

@Shin I disagree

Masturbation without imagination is the best kind there is. It's like meditating except every feeling is very intense and intimate. It can be used to release feelings stuck in the body very easily too.

I doubt that someone who's still addicted to porn can do that.

Tantric masturbation or whatever you want to call it is not for someone who just start trying to quit porn and masturbation+ejaculation.

can you still have sex on no fap. I found these videos where this guy regularly sleeps with girls and claims he has gone over 3 years without fapping. Maybe it gives you more motivation to go out and talk to girls? what do you think, I am not sure if it is right.

I don't do nofap as I found the benefits don't outweight the negatives FOR ME but I do avoid porn and only watch it on Sunday, and only once.

Used to have a problem where I could not fap without porn, that's when you know there's a problem. And fapping like 8x a day to porn...

You gotta think where the energy goes too. For example to power a sigil you orgasm and think of the sigil, then you burn it etc and "it does the work".

Thinking on that train of thought, if that happens to a sigil, what does the energy do to your favorite pornstar you are thinking of when you orgasm? You are giving your life force energy to some random person...
