Greater engagement with anti-masturbation groups linked to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal feelings

Lol,ok it's not the lack of masturbation,its the lack sexual partners.....that's causing the depression...

Exactly, these men aren’t having sex AND they watch way too much porn for their brain to handle.

They’re dopamine and other shyt is probably all kinds of fukked up to go along with their self esteem/confidence in just daily life

 

[King Poetic]

Didn’t someone post a thread about majority of men and women under 30 not fukking..

shyt they releasing their stress somewhere just don’t go sit on they sofas when u visit them

Excess masturbation ISN'T healthy, but these no fap groups are pretty sus, you don't need a support group of other men to NOT touch your dikk, and if you do, you're too far gone

This. When I did 60 day no porn and no fap, that was a really positive move overall, and wish I maintained it. I wasn't really on Reddit or anything following groups or anything like that. I didn't even count the days, after 30 days it was like whatever back to normal.

Only negative aspect I had was that 3/10s start looking like 7/10

Pretty much this. Having NO sexual outlet at all is what‘s really causing these mental problems with the nofap crowd.

This "NoFap" and "semen retention" nonsense were made up by incels on *****, they hate women and can't get laid so they pretend they're abstaining by choice

Participants who had visited NoFap forums were asked to rate how they felt about the statements “NoFap helped me” and “NoFap is a source for accurate scientific information.” The researchers found that those with greater anxiety and erectile difficulties were more likely to endorse the statement “NoFap helped me.” In addition, participants who reported more engagement in NoFap forums also reported more depressive symptoms, anxiety, and erectile difficulties.

NoFap nikkas exposed.

nikkas got "erectile difficulties".

Let me make another nofap thread.

Ah yes, because excessive masturbation has been SO beneficial to men's mental health and relationship outcomes with women.

The article does bring up a good point though. Thinking dudes who jack off 3-4x a day can just stop doing it cold turkey without "relapse" is ridiculous. Gotta wean yourself off slowly.

 

[YouMadd?]

this is EASY…. The people who are seeking out anti masturbation groups are already depressed and that’s why they are trying to change a habit in the first place.

“We were very surprised at the volume of homicidal content, with about 1 in 5 visitors to NoFap reporting viewing threats to harm or kill someone,” Prause said. “There is simply no place for such violent statements in a support group. We ultimately submitted a second paper just focused on trying to understand why this group appeared to be so violent (under review).”

lmao. this article got better as it went on. NoFap nikkas out here homocidal.

It's crazy. I get the concept of support, camaraderie, etc. But...Wouldn't one be more prone to backpedaling since you're constantly being reminded of it?

 

[JNew]

Duh, it's a far right religious fundamentalist type of bullshyt. Idk how that spread from ***** and weird corners of reddit to "mainstream"

Ironically I can still remember when porn was exactly that. Left for isolated individuals who were socially inept, in jail or the army.

You might see some old dvd or playboy in your dads/older brothers doom room. Or if your moved in the type of circles (drugs, fast women, illegal activities) you might see that type of stuff.

Now it’s become so mainstream you would probably barely blink if you seen someone watching it on their phone.

The worst is seeing a woman watch porn.. I’m mean how far as a society do we have to be that men won’t even fuk it’s women.

Breaking news: being a loser and joining a group of other losers isn’t a pathway to success.

Or in the words of Groucho Marx:

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.

Abstinence​

Tap into your higher power and purpose, choose abstinence.
You must transcend the negativity within before meeting the storm's calm gaze, from there you will ascend.
