I am a very strong advocate of not only nofap, but refraining from all sexual activity and pleasure. I believe that intense physical pleasure like sexual pleasure is directly antithetical to spirituality. 

Have you ever had an awakening?

[Harlen Kelly]

@sourcetruth The primary reason you are repressing sexuality is not because of some spiritual reason, is because of your inability to get with the opposite sex, you consequently use nofap as a neurotic overreaction to cope. 

Don't kid yourself. Somebody who is developed and conscious would not be preaching about nofap.

@Harlen Kelly thats one way of looking at it.i do it beecause it makes my dates more enjoyable. i also find myself more naturally masculine doin no-fap. since im more on the fem side, this is good for me. nofap is a super power, but it wont save u. nothing will haha

That is a good point.

GO TALK TO GIRLS! << that's the elephant in the room for most of you guys.

Notice how many excuses you have for not talking to girls.

Nothing is anthetical to spirituality.

Are you sure? Everything has an opposite.

In the relative world, and only if you create a duality from your egotic human mind.

Yes, and sex exits within the relative world. 

Then you're talking about a relative lifestyle you created, not about realizing what's true.

@Shin What would you say about the lifestyle of those like Priests and Buddhists who abstain from sex? 

That it is dogmas perpetuated for centuries, obviously.

[fopylo]

@Leo Gura You have pointed me to wise insights, thanks.

Even though nofap might be a subtle neurotic behavior for building my confidence and grounding, I would still argue it works, but not like any drug or something, it feels healthy and healing.

But yeah, at least for now it helps me to deal with my not-so-strong mind. It makes me better with people in general.

And yeah I won't lie, this is scary - talking to women. I have some social anxiety and don't feel like it's "the right time"

Dogma? Are you saying there can't possibly be any valid spiritual reason to abstain from sex? If that is what you are saying, then that is boldly and arrogantly dismissive of antisexuality.

There is, but thinking you have to to be spiritual and attain any kind of spiritual realizations is pure dogma and delusion.

@SageModeAustin Guys who get laid usually are not obsessed with the whole nofap thing, why do you think that is? Masculinity and Femininity are behavioral patterns that can be altered with mindfulness and deliberate intention, not simply by ''retaining'' semen. That literally makes no sense. 

[aurum]

No-fap can help some guys but you'd be wise to not get stuck there.

If you're avoiding dating / relationships and using PMO as a coping strategy, that's problematic. In that case, no-fap might do very well for you.

Also, if you're someone who has been watching porn since you hit puberty and don't know anything else, that is also highly problematic. You need to experience real sexuality, not what has been concocted by the porn industry to make a profit off of you.

But someone could also go down the path of using no-fap for sexual repression as Leo pointed out.

So there's traps everywhere guys. The key is self-awareness and introspection to understand your situation and what will benefit you.

No fap is just another cult

There is a disorder called POIS (Post-orgasmic illness syndrome). My brother's got it which means that he feels severely sick for at least a day after an ejaculation... brain fog, fatigue... That disorder may be a factor that explains why some people benefit from no-fap.

Also, the second chakra gets triggered by an ejaculation in my experience, so my energetic baggage from the second chakra would show up after an orgasm - which is not exactly pleasant. I'm working on cleaning that chakra so that I will feel better after an ejaculation.

That would explain my condition

@Leo Gura

Do you think it might be not the smartest move, to fap to porn tho?

There are some studies that prove, that porn influences your mind and thinking patterns in a very negative way in general.

It's the topic that I'm rethinking right now, as during my last psychedelic trip I got horny and I heard a voice in my head "LET YOURSELF"

So I did lol

@Carl-Richard Work also on the first chakra. If you try to open the second without working on the first you'll just try to "replenish" the chakra without nothing to replenish it with.
