@crypt0 Thank you for having the courage to post. I'm actually surprised this post hasn't gotten more upvotes. People might be embarrassed to admit it but it needs to be brought up and address. Pretty much all of us have dealt with this in the digital age. I can see the pros and cons of seeing something you would have never known you would have been into but also it can be a huge time drain as you said. And then when it is consuming your life it isn't healthy. I think another thing that is happening is that it is easier and cheaper for guys to stay home in front of their computer and watch porn instead of actually getting out there and meeting girls. Actually getting girls isn't easy and it requires effort and a lot of guys throw in the towel so they are never able to have the real thing or know how to act around women. I'm not saying it is all bad but when it starts consuming a person it is bad. In my mind the opposite end of the spectrum is walking around like a caged bull and thinking girls that are Sketterville, Mississippi 3 out of 10 are hot and then you end up so horny you lose your mind and bang them. Again great post and thank you for having the courage to post it and not feel embarrassed to address something that needs to be talked about.
I often think back to several years ago when I stopped the fap. I secretly attribute my peak of manifestation power to that time. And I remember reading many articles on how dwelling in that low point of energy keeps you down below your center.
If you like meditation, you should look into breath of fire combined with the root lock while fasting and no fap. BOOM! see ya later! pack your bags because you will jump to a harmonic reality and will be proven to you by the amount of synchronicities you have.
I voted this up since I value this discussion, even though I don't consider "no fap" to be a strategy that I would consider to improve my life. Due to certain religious beliefs that I held in the past, particularly regarding a friend's struggle with compulsive masturbation, I did not masturbate myself until age 28, but I found plenty of benefits for it from my experience, including more free time since I was not spending lots of time trying to suppress my sexual desires. I feel more confident in my sexuality, and I have had more success with romantic partners since I started meeting my own sexual needs, although I cannot necessarily consider this an effect of masturbating consistently. If "no fap" brings you all these benefits, I certainly will not try to persuade you to take a different path, but my current path regarding masturbation has been working well for me these past several years.
wow thanks for sharing
