Even if we exclude science (even tho there is proof, just search yourbrainonporn.com)

I have ASKED for proof. Repeatedly. You even tried to provide proof, which wasn't proof. If there is "proof" on that site, go find one, and link me it. I think you don't actually understand what is stated, and that the studies are often misunderstood or misrepresented, as you yourself proved in this very thread.

this subreddit is a living proof.

No. It isn't. Have you never heard of selection bias? That people with addiction to porn that is negatively affecting their life are the ones who would seek out something like nofap? Do you know why people who's lives don't get better without porn aren't posting here? Because they never needed it in the first place.

Have you never heard of confirmation bias? It explains both your refusal to accept the "proof" you have provided isn't proof, and why people doing this would be more inclined to believe it is working.

And, for the billionth damn time, do you not understand the concept of correlation? Ever notice how many people here happen to quit PMO as they decide their life is in a bad state and they want to improve it. Do you think those people quit PMO and call it a day, they're officially a better person now? Of course not. Starting nofap has a VERY high correlation with "my life is in the dumps and I want to turn it around." Deciding to turn your life around is generally the first step in turning your life around. Your "proof" is that people who are trying to turn their life around turn their life around. Plenty of people do it without quitting porn. "Many," as you put it.

And one more god damn time. I AM NOT AND HAVE NOT AT ANY POINT STATED NO FAP HAS NO AFFECTS OR ISN'T HELPFUL FOR SOME PEOPLE. Yes, it helps the people here. No, that does not mean EVERYONE has issues with it.

Your understanding of science, how it works, and what it's findings mean seem to be sadly lacking. So I ask once again, if this proof is so readily available, link me a study that doesn't have the issues I mentioned in my first post. I've asked for this time and time again. Every time I've gotten "it's easy to find" but when pressed for it I get either no links, or links like yours that actually reinforce my point about misrepresenting the findings of studies.
