I really think it depends on where you start, is it 2 quick faps a week or 3 times a day too hardcore porn. And how did your life in general look like, i agree to many on here that just doing nofap wont be enough and that other healthy habits must be implemented into your life.

Now it also be a bit physiological, maybe one thinks of the benefits as something godly and that they will become superior to everyone else, which really is a weird mindset.

If I were to Compare my life pre nofap and post nofap id say i feel much better on nofap than when i fap all the time.

I think one issue with this sub is that most are hard mode, so we have stories that come from people that are either just starting and know how fapping excessively affects them and people that try to go as long as possible, then there are some normal moders with partners or those that have sex from time to time.

Little is said about those whom just skip porn entirely and just fap /ejaculate when a natural urge arises, without porn or any other stimuli this wont be very often, maybe once a week, together with also having other good habits.
