I don’t think it’s possible to use porn and not be addicted to it.It releases WAY too much dopamine.That’s because reproduction is crucial to our survival on a primal level.Sexual desire is too powerful homie.

Well then you gotta work on unravelling the illusion which you may not be interested in. I personally can operate from both paradigms, illusioned and disillusioned. So it's possible for you too.

@Gesundheit Illusioned and disillusioned? What are u talking about?

Sex isn't bad and porn isn't what sex is supposed to be.

   Exactly, with the exception of being on the actual porn video. Pun aside, don't underestimate how perverted humanity was, and somewhat is still today. It seems to me that celibacy, to some degree, is the greater good for now. Don't mind me, I'm going for the hardest version of Nofap possible

 I remember maybe a year ago there was a user named shin, he's the official originator of the thread about Nofap on this site, one of the first users to start that topic here. I'm actuallly one of the users that recommended Nofap on Leo's videos, and ended up here. Theses accounts vary depending on who you talk to, because back then we were rivals: we couldn't settle on various issues about pornography, I was more lenient on porn while he went all out against it, and I insist I was the first one to bring up this issue here while he begs to differ. We had debates on pm more so than out here. I think he's one of the few that left the forums to pursue hard core spirituality.

   My position on the porn issues changed slightly, but I'll still say if you haven't burnt through your sex karma, burn it all first beforehand.

Imo that's too dangerous and will backfire on you.

   Sorry, correction: I'm in the middle of the hardest version of Nofap. It's quite nice really, there's this constant buzz. The only real danger I've experienced are hyper aggression, manic levels of energy and blue balls from cheating. I suffered them before, and found ways around it. The peace is great.

Ok I've been trying NoFap/semen retention for almost 3 years now with varous streaks that lasted a couple of months (my highest streak was 7 months, I'm curently 5 months in) and I don't have that "magical women attraction" and all the other benefits that all these No-fappers seem to experience.I actually DID notice some of these benefits every now and then but NOT in a significant amount.Like yeah I do feel more energized and shit since I don't drain my semen everyday, I do have a sharper mind and I do feel more masculine and less socially awkward but I didn't become a "God/Super-human" that all women swoon over like they all say."NoFap changed my life forever! I'm a TOTALLY new person! NoFap women attraction is real" bla bla bla.The only thing I can say it REALLY did for me was curing my ED and make real sex more pleasurable.And that's amazing I'm not putting that down.But I did all this work to become a Titan and get pussies, ain't gonna lie.Abstaining from porn was the MOST challenging shit I've EVER done in my life and I feel like all this pain was for nothing.I'm very dissapointed and frustraded with the poor results.Should I go back to porn? I'm really hesitating.

Use that feeling more energized and shit energy to level up. There is always the next level, but nothing will ever get you to "God/Super-human". There are thousands of self development practices, who are you using only one? None will be a magic bullet that solves everything.

And why would you want to be a totally new person? Also impossible. But being the best person you can be... not only possible, I have no doubt that would be an awesome person.

[Evil Raccoon]

@wwhy I see your point but I dunno if NoFap is a sustainable lifestyle man.I don't know if I can resist porn and masturbation forever, one day I'll probably gonna break.And then what? I'll have to do all this work all over again to master NoFap and keep doin the same shit forever? But at the same time I don't wanna go back and undo all my progess, so yeah, I'm a retard.

Okay I do buy into the idea of semen retention. But how the fuck am I suppose to have sex without ejaculating? I tried some method before but nothing really worked.

@Heaven Research and practice.

   Monk mode Nofap, which basically means you put far more restriction on yourself, like not fapping to any type of pornography, not thinking about porn/sex. Also, dating and real sex is avoided. The benefit of this harsher mode is massive energy, motivation, thinking power and vitality that makes you feel really powerful and healthier.

   Hard mode Nofap still has same restrictions on porn/sex, except you can choose to date and/or think short intervals of sexual thoughts. Not as harsh as monk mode, but the greater danger is blue balls from edging too long, teasing a woman, or peeking, either mentally or physically.

Getting the girls/woman you want is a whole skill in it self which I don’t think you can get from just doing No fap. It only comes from actually practicing it.

   It's actually possible to be an entirely new person. The catch, though, is death of the older you, for the newer you. Enlightenment aside, another plus is the vision of your life, and that ultimate version of yourself that handles each part of that life better. That does inspire, and re-inspires you to bounce back into the practices.

Ive found full no fap to be a form of psychological repression which was turning into a shadow element of the mind. Moreover, I realized I didn’t need no fap to achieve my goals. Imagine how many successful people WERENT on no fap. It’s unnecessary and represses one’s sexual self and energy.

Porn on the other hand is very unhealthy imo. Watching even without masturbation is damaging to the mind.

I tried No-Fap for 3-5 months and the only change I noticed is that when I was out dancing girls went crazy around me. They approached me and basically gathered around me. Maybe it was a mental thing but my friends also noticed it.
