Can noFap Get Rid Completely of Sexual Needs?

[Roy]

The whole NoFap thing can be great for people who need it, obviously discipline is necessary if you're so out of control it's damaging you. But people get way too neurotic about this thing.

Your sexual desire and needs are a physiological aspect that must be fulfilled just like you need food and water, so either you do this in a healthy way or an unhealthy way (I recommend healthy). Neglecting it completely and trying to get "rid" of it won't work and can cause a lot of ugly things to potentially rear their head. Why do you think priests end up molesting little kids? Precisely because they are desperately trying so hard to suppress something so necessary and basic that the physiological spring they've coiled up explodes in an extremely toxic way.

What you need to do is discover a healthy way to express and fulfill your sexuality, experiment and discover what works for you personally. Listen to your intuition if something feels healthy or not.

Despite what you may hear masturbating can be a great tool as one doesn't always have access to sex 24/7. The question is whether or not you're going to use that tool healthily, or unhealthily.

While you're at it, maybe you should have never been born.

If you can't distinguish masturbation from sex we can't help you buddy. Nofap is the way. Only incels think masturbation is similar to having sex to another being.

Sexual repression. That just intuitively sounds unwise to everyone. For some reason, in this context, it gets a pass. It shouldn't.

Nofap done mechanically is one of those traditional repressive "Jerking off is a sin" behaviors, only disguised as a modern-day self improvement fad. 

Instead of priests telling you how the bible says its a sin, we have scientists providing the "facts" for you.

Now that you're saying it, it's so obvious...lol

I can look at a hot girl and feel nothing, because the frame of mind is not a sexual one, like looking at your mothers ass. 

Default perspective is controlable but why control it? We can train the default perspective to be selection state. Like a pop up menu asking what kind of framing would we like? Menu order. Probably a useful skill to have in general. 

I feel better when i dont masterbate for a few days, more creative, fuller muscles during work out, colors are more vivid, more confidence Its 100% clear to me. Sexual questions/vision naturally lessens until its never thought about. 

People that operate with emotions are more sensitive to dopamine and serotonin depletion.

- Ive seen ESTPs with blind Introverted feeling take ecstasy and have no coming down side effects,

- ive seen ENFJ take ecstasy and be miserable and depressed for  days afterwords describing it as the worst days of there life.

- INTPs have Fi nearly completely blocked out as there 8th function, im guessing there not sensitive enough to see the nuances, its negligible for them.

- High Fi users likes INFP and ENFJ are sensitive to dopamine because there sense making/experience is more strongly tied to it.

A eunuch eventually looses all sexual desires, so castration will do it for you.

^ I just remember the castration for the our male cats at home lol...

Thanks TS for that video. 

I myself is contemplating about this for many days now. Im on my nofap journey as well but I relapse 3 days ago, but injaculation. I was trying some stuffs as well, but I didnt lose much energy as oppose to releasing semen. Which to some effect has a big toll for me, like I could really feel the loss of energy from my body feeling weak. I am treading this path because I am finding what is the best path to follow. Of course this could make it easier if I was being intentional with my meditation to like include this thing first hand. But as I realize today, I wasnt even. Just a simple meditation and just do my day like a robot. Another thing with the pandemic is that I am always at home, so the temptations is always there.

After that injaculation (no porn, just lying in bed) I had if you call it some intense pressure to do it again but watching porn.. I realize that I have wet dreams for 2 consecutive days now. I guess even with my sao called relapse, it was not fully release that led to wet dreams. Today though, it lessens esp that I have now more aware about it and saw this thread.

I have done many NoFap streaks in the past, mostly as trying to deal with my  sexual inexperience, desires and horniness. I had a stint of about 6 months where I filled almost every gap in my day with something, that would allow me to keep busy, and managed to go with no urges for months. It's not like I felt I had these "superpowers" that NoFappers always claim. I actually felt dead. 

All of my sexual desire was gone, and if it was rising, it came from a place of sadness, that I can't have what I truly want, and that this is just simply a way to deal with it. 

NoFap can become a huge trap. You should know from what place it is coming from. When I was extremelly horny, I did many thing's im not very happy about. It wouldn't have happened if I just mastrubated when I felt like it. 

No Porn, occasional fap is the way to go, that's the best way, since you are actually not quitting cold turkey, but you can allow yourself to do it like once a week or so. 

Also, just to let you know, studies had shown that testosterone spikes at 5-7 days of NoFap. So technically, THE BEST way to do this, is one jerk a week.

Obviously, these are just my thoughts, but I have done NoFap for over 4-5 years, on an off, with great and bad results, it depends from what place is it really coming from. When I tried to abstain from sex, that I wasn't having anyway, I felt like I was some sort of an incel.
