This is going to be such a clusterfuck of a thread, and I can't wait.

I don't do r/nofap. I have before. It made me more aggressive with pursuing girls, which made me a little more confident and outgoing, but on the other hand, I wasn't thinking straight or long-term. It made me somewhat desperate to fuck.

Thinking that it gives you super powers or more confidence or whatever is literally just placebo. It's your internal state of mind.

r/nofap actually gave me limp dick. I don't know why. I think it was the shame of beating my meat and then trying not to. But I got a girl in my bed and I had a limp dick. Never happened before. Wasn't fun.

That being said, porn and jerking off all the time can cause internal shame as well. If you jerk off to a girl getting banged by an animatronic horse and you get off to that... that post-nut clarity might make you think, "WTF?" That ain't good either.

Personally, moderation. If I'm horny, I'll jerk off. Doing it too much, however, desensitizes me. Same with watching a ton of hardcore porn. I'm trying to switch more to pictures and fantasy. It personally makes real life sex better for me.

I don't think it's bad, I don't think it's great. I'm pretty neutral on this subject. I think there can be a lot of unhealthy shit on both sides, and the internet definitely doesn't help. You have some religious fanatics and then you have other people who are trying to justify all of their actions. Just listen to yourself. Who gives a fuck.
