Primary Questions to address:
"Is NOFAP legit, and if so what are the extent of its benefits?"
"Is there anything wrong with PMO or even non pornographic masturbation?"
"If NOFAP is real then how will it benefit my sex life or lack there of?"
"Give me proof PMO yields more cons than pros"
"What if I'm not addicted to PMO and only masturbate irregularly?"
I will formulate this thread into 3 sub-sections: PMO and its pros and cons, NOFAP and its pros and cons, and the Concept of Pseudo-Coping.
BODY:
PMO and its Pros and Cons
PROS
-"Anxiety is one of the leading causes of masturbation."
-Thus masturbating can flush your system of built up stress.
CONS
I created the "PMO Triad" theory that says there are three ways in which PMO yields significant negative outcomes on an individuals life.
The Three areas of life in which PMO negatively affects you are:
1.Mental/ Psychological: Depression, Addiction, Alter-Sexualization
2.Physical/ Physiological: Laziness, Fatigue, Sexual Dysfunction
3.Moral/ Ethical: Voyeurism, Indignity, Futile Escapism
1.Mental/ Psychological Effects of PMO
DEPRESSION
-Frequent PMO use and even non-frequent use can result in learned social anxiety and extreme introversion. The reason is because orgasm and t release results in a system flushed of energy and natural masculine angst that gets built up over time. A lack of social awareness develops as a result of PMO
-Masturbation can lead to depression due to a constant induced state of low energy and fatigue. The "relaxed" outcome that people claim is the best result of masturbation forget that being in a constant state of low interest and low energy leads to depression. Tension and Angst should not be flushed out of the bodily system in such a cheap fashion, instead angst and stress should be dissolved by actually solving your problems in life and not ignoring them.
-Reduced Cognitive Function or Lower IQ (Intelligence Quotient)
www.mentalhelp.net
- "More than half of men who use porn have acknowledged that their porn use has caused them problems in life, with the majority experiencing psychological and behavioral repercussions." [8]
-"Compulsive and at-risk cybersex users experience guilt, depression, and anxiety. This may both result from pornography usage and perpetuate further behavior." [9]
-Weaponized Pornography, yes porn has been used as a form of psychological warfare due to it's various harmful effects. In East Jerusalem in 2002 the IDF seized a broadcasting station and played porn over 3 channels into Palestinians homes during the daily children's programming.
www.smh.com.au
ADDICTION
-"Recent research has shown that non-drug addictions such as gambling, binge-eating, and sexual activities affect brain function in ways similar to alcohol and drug addiction."
-"Many addiction studies focus on what is referred to as the pleasure/reward circuitry and their corresponding neurotransmitters - chemicals that are responsible for the communication between neurons. One of the neurotransmitters frequently identified as central to addiction is dopamine. A behavior or drug that produces pleasure induces a rush of dopamine that ultimately "reinforces" that behavior, making it more likely to occur. The amygdala, basal ganglia, and other reward centers play a role in the reinforcement of the activity that produces pleasure."
fightthenewdrug.org
"Changes in the brain's neural pathways are referred to as "plasticity"; and "synaptic plasticity" refers to changes among neuronal connections [13].
-When males are first introduced to Pornography they are adolescent, pre-teen or early teen. Their minds are not fully matured and thus they are malleable, think of their brains like clay, which could be molded into many different shapes.
-Many consumers of Porn have fetishes: Feet, BDSM, Hardcore, Interracial, etc. Most consumers of Porn had none of these fetishes upon learning of Pornography and throughout early usage, they started off with softcore, then later deviated into different sexual sub-cultures.
-Some of these sexual sub-cultures are not abhorrent, but some are.
-Fetishistic Disorder "Behavioral learning models suggest that a child who is the victim or observer of inappropriate sexual behaviors may learn to imitate or later be reinforced for the behavior. Compensation models suggest that these individuals may be deprived of normal social sexual contacts, and thus seek gratification through less socially acceptable means. In cases involving males, some experts have suggested that fetishistic disorder may stem from doubts about one’s own masculinity, potency, or a fear of rejection and humiliation. By using fetishistic practices to exert control over an inanimate object, the theory goes, an individual may safeguard himself from or compensate for feelings of inadequacy."
www.psychologytoday.com
-Normalization of Pedophilia has been occurring in the porn industry for some time now. Porn Recruiters go to High School parties and groom underage girls to become pornstars when they become 18. If you ever paid much attention you would notice a lot of porn has girls wearing underage type outifts, and look underage themselves. The frequent usage of underage looking actresses molds the viewers mind to become more sexually attracted to underage looking girls.
2. Physical/ Physiological Effects of PMO
LAZINESS
-“We found a significant negative association between reported pornography hours per week and gray matter volume in the right caudate as well as with functional activity during a sexual cue–reactivity paradigm in the left putamen,” the researchers wrote in the study, published Wednesday in JAMA Psychiatry. “Functional connectivity of the right caudate to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was negatively associated with hours of pornography consumption.”
-“We found that the volume of the so-called striatum, a brain region that has been associated with reward processing and motivated behaviour was smaller the more pornography consumption the participants reported”
FATIGUE
www.antidopamine.com
-Symptoms of frequent orgasm and dopamine release include: Low libido, Lack of interest in life, Not growing up / reaching maturity, Loss of strength, and General lethargy.
SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION
-PMO can cause ED (Erectile Dysfunction) and PE (Premature Ejaculation).
www.webmd.com
-"Porn-addicted men are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction and are less likely to be satisfied with sexual intercourse"
-"researchers found a statistical relationship between porn addiction and sexual dysfunction"
-"Watching too much internet porn can increase a person's "tolerance," the same as with narcotics"
www.yourbrainonporn.com
3. Moral/ Ethical effects of PMO
VOYEURISM
-When viewing pornography you assume the POV of a spectator. Watching two people having sex, while you jerk off on the sidelines. Imagine you were in the situation IRL, and were literally there jerking off to two people having sex. Sounds pathetic right? So what's the difference between being a Cuckold IRL and virtually? None. You may say that that's not your wife in the video, no but that is your desired sexual partner, and that's close enough.
INDIGNITY
-Now the moral aspect of PMO, and its effects on the human psyche. When partaking in PMO as a member of any abrahamic faith (Islam, Christianity, Judaism) you are going directly against the guidelines and codes of your particular faith.
-Even if you are not a devout follower of a religion or you're Agnostic you already adhere to a moral code, the moral code of Western Civilization most likely.
-Millennia of Western Civil Jurisdiction and Honor ranging from Greco-Roman to Franco-Germanic and to Anglo-Saxon ideals have been cemented into Western Civilization, PMO stands in direct opposition to these age old ideals.
-Shame is a common symptom of PMO usage, to be ashamed is a GOOD thing, it means you still have some dignity left. The media and mainstream science will tell you there is nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to PMO consumption and that it's perfectly normal and healthy but that's because there are powerful corporate vested interests in Porn that are pouring money into neo-liberal think tanks and researchers to provide "progressive" science.
FUTILE ESCAPISM
-At it's core PMO is a escape, an escape from reality.
-It attempts to comfort the lonely, and to provide them an alternative experience.
-However porn is not a genuine cope as it causes more harm than good.
NOFAP and its pros and cons
PROS
1. Energy and Testosterone Naturalization
www.menshealth.com
-After a week of NOFAP a testosterone increase of 45% is seen in most males. It does stagnate however, but having more testosterone all the time is far better than not having it.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
-"On the 7th day of abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline"
2. Confidence and Reduced Social Anxiety
www.antidopamine.com
-"Not only can NoFap increase your confidence levels, but it can also lessen the symptoms of anxiety and depression. Anything that can increase your competitive drive is going to be psychologically beneficial. And to answer the follow-up question: yes, being competitive is a very useful trait for dating."
3. Increased Focus and Work Effort
-With the resurgence of natural testosterone levels you are able to redirect additional energy to work with a sharper concentration.
-It won't be like the movie limitless lol, but it will be far better than the procrastination and delayed responsiveness of PMO usage.
CONS
-I thought hard on any possible negative outcomes from NOFAP and I could not find any, NOFAP is the natural state of a homosapien. For thousands of years humans didn't masturbate and even if they did it may have been once or twice in their whole lives. They only had sexual intercourse to reproduce like their animal counterparts. Then in the last century humans have been exposed to massive amounts of pornographic and ultra-sexual imagery and literature. Such a drastic change is bad for the general population, and that can be seen in the rampant amount of depression in the male youth.
The Concept of Pseudo Coping
-Many people claim NOFAP to be a cope, and a bad one. I don't see how NOFAP can even be considered a cope, it does not fit under any of the criteria for copes.
Saying NOFAP is a cope is like saying not doing drugs is a cope. DRUGS ARE A COPE, AND PMO IS A COPE, NOT DOING DRUGS AND NOT DOING PMO ARE NOT COPES.
-The only cope that would be NOFAP related would be the small amount of NOFAPers who think NOFAP will fix all their problems in life, and that they'll suddenly be able to get girls just with semen retention alone. Which is obviously untrue, but that has nothing to do with the action or non-action of NOFAP, that has more to do with false hopes of normies.
-Is PMO an Effective Cope? PMO is said to be a great cope for inceldom and loneliness. I would argue its the exact opposite, its a pseudo-cope. The definition of cope is this:
coping- deal effectively with something difficult.
-Notice the word EFFECTIVELY, this entails that the cope be an effective method of dealing with a troublesome situation. This means there should not be more negative outcomes than positive ones due to the cope.
That is why NOFAP is far better than PMO, whether you're addicted or not to PMO is pretty much irrelevent as it's negative effects are wide ranging and affect almost all of its consumers. This is also why NOFAP is not a cope at all, but the exact opposite. And this is why PMO usage is a negative cope, there are positive copes such as working out, but Porn is a negative cope in all respects.
"Nofap literally does nothing for you"
"Masturbating is perfectly normal"
"Yes your t levels will raise but they'll stagnate after a week"

Why Porn Can Be Difficult to Quit
Is porn addictive? That's one of the most common questions about porn, and according to many addiction experts, it absolutely can be.
fightthenewdrug.org
"Changes in the brain's neural pathways are referred to as "plasticity"; and "synaptic plasticity" refers to changes among neuronal connections [13].
- Research substantiates the idea that porn addiction can alter brain plasticity.
- Non-drug addictions, like internet and pornography use, may lead to changes similar to those reported with long-term drug use." [14]
-When males are first introduced to Pornography they are adolescent, pre-teen or early teen. Their minds are not fully matured and thus they are malleable, think of their brains like clay, which could be molded into many different shapes.

By using fetishistic practices to exert control over an inanimate object, the theory goes, an individual may safeguard himself from or compensate for feelings of inadequacy."
Fetishistic Disorder
Fetishistic disorder is an intense sexual attraction to either inanimate objects or to body parts not traditionally viewed as sexual, coupled with clinically significant distress or impairment.
-Normalization of Pedophilia has been occurring in the porn industry for some time now. Porn Recruiters go to High School parties and groom underage girls to become pornstars when they become 18. If you ever paid much attention you would notice a lot of porn has girls wearing underage type outifts, and look underage themselves. The frequent usage of underage looking actresses molds the viewers mind to become more sexually attracted to underage looking girls.
