None of that for your face
this, meditation, breathing exercises
I fell for this one hard
The idea that the cold makes one tougher and stronger
where did you get this cope from
Yeah I remember the same thing and also fastingI remember when i was 15 i would do sprinting because i saw bullshit videos about how sprinting can increase HGH to increase height
Forgot about nofap I used to cope hard with it
I tried therapy a couple times and I don't think I'll try it again.
i remember that one Australian guy's video about nofap blew up, and his biggest reasoning behind quitting jacking off was to get his face to "glow"
Easily the dumbest aspect of nofap that grifters push
Do you remember the video name? I wanna see if I've seen it before
only times i've went to therapy was when i was forced to as a teenager
my own idea
where did you get this cope from
it gives u more free time, discipline, and alleviates some guilt (if ur religious or if u can't tank the post-nut clarity) but that's literally it. No charisma boost, no notable hormone changes, no clearer skin, and no significant brain fog removal (unless u nutted in the double digits daily).
To be fair, they do have somewhat of a point since there's a fuck ton of research proving porn fucks up your brain in a few ways, like decreasing grey-matter

If I was chad id use it to trick normies and become a millionaire
where did you get this cope from
alcohol mogs
Same. My mom made me and I hated every second of it
I'd say the brain foid aspect is more linked to this:
so not really fapping but rather porno usageTo be fair, they do have somewhat of a point since there's a fuck ton of research proving porn fucks up your brain in a few ways, like decreasing grey-matter
"We found a significant negative association between reported pornography hours per week and gray matter volume in the right caudate"
Brain structure and functional connectivity associated with pornography consumption: the brain on porn - PubMed
The negative association of self-reported pornography consumption with the right striatum (caudate) volume, left striatum (putamen) activation during cue reactivity, and lower functional connectivity of the right caudate to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex could reflect change in neural...
"Grey matter is an essential type of tissue in your brain and spinal cord. It plays a significant role in mental functions, memory, emotions and movement. Several conditions can affect your grey matter, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease."
Grey Matter
Grey matter is a type of tissue in your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) that plays a crucial role in allowing you to function normally.
Yeah it's utter bullshit
Yeah I wouldn't say it's completely useless or anything but the grifters who advertise it as some life changing thing are way off the mark.To be fair, they do have somewhat of a point since there's a fuck ton of research proving porn fucks up your brain in a few ways, like decreasing grey-matter

I'd say porn is the main issue here in all honesty
Same thing, looksmaxing is bullshit.
The NoFap community is notorious for gaslighting men who are romantically unsuccessful or who are unmotivated in general. They'll dodge the real cause (looks, hypergamy, gynocentric society, shit economy etc) and tell them all their life's problems are due to how much they touch their pee pees (cope/effect).
Yeah like that article even specifically mentions that it's pornography hours a week rather than specifically masturbating. Just using your imagination is probably the most healthy way to do it and I've done it before it's just a lot harder and a lot less stimulating
I see this all the time from twitter tradcucks blaming the rise in the numbers of sexless men on porn.
is that just a correlation study and not a longitudinal study that tracks changes in an individual's brain as they goon to porn over a long period of time? if it's just correlational than no shit ppl with low IQ are more likely to consume more porn.
Cold showers are one of the worst things for your body. Glad I saw the light and was smart enough to stop doing it, as it’s pure torture with no benefits
Talking to women
At least you didn't try cope with fragrances like I've seen a lot of people doWhen i was younger i belived females dont like me because i smell bad , started buying shit tones of desodorants and going to shower 3 times a day
They're just a complete waste of energy. Better to invest your willpower into other things
Or not use any willpower at all
Luckily i was to poor for that.
Going outside with little clothing literally worked for me in terms of resistance. I lost it though but it 10000% worked
