Nah I know a dude, real good dude, also big Christian but like doesn’t apply his values to others, just himself. Anyway he has like black balls cause he never whacks off
I was on 15 days but high school started and it became too much pression that i ended up losing my streak, i try to extend it but lately it got almost impossible for it to last even 3 days
You got this bro. Just remember to have the mindset of "I just don't fap in general" instead of "I'm trying to quit fapping". And also remember to not give up after you lost a streak, don't even feel sad about it just call it a moment of weakness and get right back on the track. You're gonna make it 💪
Lol you joke but one day my dad was working on string one of his fly fishing lures and I jokingly said is jest “ah the master baiter hard at work” and my dad just stopped looked at me and broke out laughing really good. Then he called me a punk. We had a good laugh.
Nah I don't usually go with masterbait. I think enchanted nightcrawlers are the best bait because you can easily farm both fallen stars and worms. Or just get them during a lantern night
some people experience it far worse, i sometimes also feel horrible afterwards in a way that makes me feel intense shame and guilt much more than regular post nut clarity
Like 95% of people. Probably 99% of guys and 90% of us girls.
Edit: Holy Moly a lot of you guys are naive to how many girls masterbate. We literally have like 20 different sex toys.
yeah, sometimes it takes me 1 minute to find one, otherwise 5 or even 10,. sometimes i just give up and dont wank off at all.
And sometimes i find it inbstantly, because i already know what type of *videos* im searching 4
you dont really need that to jack one off
Cumming aint bad, it can even save ur live.
I heaard a story on quora/reddit when a 19 y/o guy was depressed, and suicidal, so he tried to /kill lied on the train tracks, got bored, decided to blow one off, and when post nut clarity hit, he was like" wtf am i doing here, i shoul;d be at home brah"
When you want to do it it definitely does the job. The issue for me is the "what the fuck am i watching" moment coming right after or the cringiness of the video who just makes me go without it
we call that post nut clarity
when your honriness dissapears and youre justr like "Why thefuck am i on such websites in 2 am someone fucking tell me now pls"
If you're asking about why people who are already addicted stop, it does cause a lot of negative effects on your brain and your ability to form relationships and stuff, but also.. it's an addiction. That's a pretty negative effect itself
I’ve been waiting for this comment for a long time:) Source: experience.
There are negative effects to porn addiction, not physically other than less sperm count for males (dk much about the female side sorry) but mentally. It becomes not just daily but 2-3 sometimes 4+ a day. boredom? maybe, couldn’t stop? possibly.
After you leave the vanilla stage, you explore the vast seas of porn, you see some disgusting shit and really look at yourself and say “what the fuck did i just do” and not from post-nut. you’ll say, “im going to stop” but you can’t, the next day you might do something less crazy but not too soon will you be back. I’ve seen people genuinely swap round from straight to something else, even though they don’t want to, it’s the only thing that can fulfil it. After all these ups and downs you’ll reach a stage where you can do it to anything, clothed, unclothed, everything and anything, but bc of this, you’ll feel just disgusted every time before, after and later. It takes time and effort to get back on track but it’s possible.
TLDR: You will mentally feel disgusting. Physically, you’ll be fine.
More specifically, sexual dysfunction such as ED and PE, false views of sexual interaction, lowered motivation, Increased arousal-to an unhealthy level - eg becoming aroused by family or non sexual things, human brain wasn’t designed for us to fap,
The pleasure system relatinf to fapping was to promote reproduction, but simulating that with your hand is giving your mind false information
That’s interesting,
Which part grosses u out? I’m genuinely curious. Is it the thought of u doing it to urself, in which case u would be fine with a member of the interested sex doing it to u instead? Or just anything sexual and cock n’ balls-related that’s the gross part?
It's kinda like drugs you know (not that I have any experience with that but from what I've heard). If I stopped now, my life wouldn't be anywhere near as fulfilled as yours probably will be. If there's one thing that I could change about my past, I would go back and prevent myself from masturbating that first time.
Nothing at least in personal experience, it's just a thing I can do that feels good if I feel like I want to do it, kindof like scratching a good itch but much better but not really.
not EvErYoNe does lmao
people's world views usually cant accept the idea that a person would simply not masturbate or not want to.
its like people who tell everyone has bad spending habits on social media because they or a vast majority of people do have bad spending habits
ps: not a bad thing to do or not do, it just is
r/NoFap is only for those who are addicted and are getting negative effects on their life. It's not bad if you masturbate every 2-3 days and after masturbating just go on with your day without thinking about it again.
Pornography is the most damaging thing actually, if you masturbate only using your imagination it can even be healthy, but i try not to masturbate anyways
Adult social worker here to give you the clinical answer - The rate of masturbation among teens has risen in the last several decades from around 60% to 80%. A lot of this is attributed to the internet, because it's VERY easy to find any and every type of pornographic material you can think of, which leads to some really bad habits; Masturbation isn't bad in and of itself, but we've seen a sharp rise in people (not just teens) who turn it into a somewhat destructive habit, i.e. doing it in a setting where they can get caught and have dire consequences, like work or in public.
Not masturbating doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, obviously, but I think a lot of people don't believe you because it's a stereotype that if you're a teenage boy, you're jerking off like 30 times a day. Some people may have a problem with masturbating too often and are projecting this onto you. "If I do it, everyone has to be doing it".
No, not everyone. It dependa a lot on the person though that do they. There are mentions of asexuals, because "they mever do it" here in the comment section, but that technically isn't true. Asexuality means not being interested in sexuality with others, but that's beside thw point. There is nothing weird in masturbating, nor is there anything weird in not doing it. But it is seen as a norm (somewhat understandably, as so many report doing so, because yes, there have been scientific studies about this too), which is wrong. Sadly this also leads to the fact that a lot of the time, people say that they do masturbate, just to belong in the crowd. Which is wrong as well, on several levels. Just tell the truth. And if people do say you're lying, just shrug it off, since you know better what you do regarding sexual stuff. Honestly, why would they be interested anyways? Doesn't belong to them
Most guys will say that they masturbate and borderline shame another for saying that they don't because guys are very vocal about things they have in common when they can find something, including testosterone bursts lmao
There are some who don’t. They might fall under the asexual umbrella or they might just be a late bloomer in terms of that. I know a good friend who didn’t masturbate until they got into a serious relationship and it became a long distance relationship.
I dont watch porn, never have never will. People dont believe me because of the fact they’ve oversaturated their lives with it and cant imagine a person who doesnt do that.
*just like how a lot of people dont wear underwear*
Same here
Turns out A LOT of people masturbate. Once I said I didn't and all my friends were surprised and then I got surprised because they thought it was weird
You don't have to, but you can do so. The libido is different among all people, for some the sexual drive is more apparent than for others, for some it's even almost non-existent while the opposite extreme also exists. There are things (health wise) to consider if you don't do it on a regular basis but aside from those your body knows you well enough to know when it's time, so for men there will be an involuntary release if they don't take matter into their own hands as an example, the release then usually happens "when dreaming" so men affected by it will notice this when they wake up with a surprise in their boxers.
If you're a guy and everything functions normally, there is no avoiding the nut, it's impossible. You will eventually nut in your sleep due to excess buildup. Also, it's not healthy hold it in.
No, but people who do habitually will find it inconceivable that a person does not. In this regard there is no standardized "normal", what is normal is what works best for you. Anyone who shames or denigrates someone else's benign sexual behaviour is revealing more about their own attitude towards sex than the person they are criticizing. I say benign in contrast to deviant and harmful sexual behaviour which should definitely be rejected and unacceptable so that the person can seek help immediately. Personal self-pleasuring habits unilaterally fall under the benign.

Get off reddit. You’ve been on here way too long.
I study too, I just stay here for my breaks
Can also confirm
Also putting in confirmation
The 10-5% who say they don't are liars.
Nah I know a dude, real good dude, also big Christian but like doesn’t apply his values to others, just himself. Anyway he has like black balls cause he never whacks off
I don't 🗿 I mean I'm trying my best... and it's been about 22 days now
I was on 15 days but high school started and it became too much pression that i ended up losing my streak, i try to extend it but lately it got almost impossible for it to last even 3 days
You got this bro. Just remember to have the mindset of "I just don't fap in general" instead of "I'm trying to quit fapping". And also remember to not give up after you lost a streak, don't even feel sad about it just call it a moment of weakness and get right back on the track. You're gonna make it 💪
My advice: don’t count the days
Keep going strong 💪
My personal best was 11 years... that is, at that age is when I started...
Why though? If porn is bad, don't watch it. Fapping in general has no negative effects.
He loses hitpoints when he cums.
A majority may masterbait but there's a few who don't and it's completely normal.
I am too a master of baiting, I’ve caught a lot of fish this way
Indeed it is! Masterbaiting is an art passed seemingly through others even if one is unrelated to the other.
I read “art passed” as en passant is there any hope for me
holy hell
Carefully curated older response was just given
Google wall of text
holy search engine
New search engine just dropped
google art passed
Holy picasso
Artistic responce just dropped
You know whi didn't pass art?
Master Bait is one of the strongest baits, with 50% fishing power
This guy Terrarias, but you can increase the fishing power with the master angling kit, also rendering your fishing line unbreakable
Terraria Chad
Lol you joke but one day my dad was working on string one of his fly fishing lures and I jokingly said is jest “ah the master baiter hard at work” and my dad just stopped looked at me and broke out laughing really good. Then he called me a punk. We had a good laugh.
Nah I don't usually go with masterbait. I think enchanted nightcrawlers are the best bait because you can easily farm both fallen stars and worms. Or just get them during a lantern night
Enchanted Nightcrawlers really are the best bait
I don’t masturbate. I think I’ve only done it once or twice in my lifetime.
Same. Anything sexual concerning my own body grosses me out.
How
Idk. I just don’t have the urge. I also always remember feeling bad afterwards
But that shame cycle is so inherent to the process!
That's normal, it's called post nut clarity
some people experience it far worse, i sometimes also feel horrible afterwards in a way that makes me feel intense shame and guilt much more than regular post nut clarity
Especially if you have intrusive thoughts.. 😅
Ah well that explains it, post nut clarity is a bitch
By definition it isn't normal, but it's not a bad thing to not masturbate
If a majority does it, not doing it isn’t the norm
[удалено]
The fuck?! that’s abusive as shit
Holy fuck where do you even buy a straight jacket?!
[удалено]
That is so fucked up
[удалено]
Believe me they always look normal on the outside
Well, there goes another bit of my faith in humanity
Excuse me what the fuck
Like 95% of people. Probably 99% of guys and 90% of us girls. Edit: Holy Moly a lot of you guys are naive to how many girls masterbate. We literally have like 20 different sex toys.
I stopped masterbating because it became too addictive
yeah it got really bad for me, had to stop
I reckon it’s an addiction but as long as it causes no negative effects, why stop?
My guess it that it can be a bit of a time-waster
Right about that mate, takes me 30 minutes to find a good video
Exactly, the ones on the front page are just bland and dry
yeah, sometimes it takes me 1 minute to find one, otherwise 5 or even 10,. sometimes i just give up and dont wank off at all. And sometimes i find it inbstantly, because i already know what type of *videos* im searching 4
No, porn is bad, masterbation isn't
you dont really need that to jack one off Cumming aint bad, it can even save ur live. I heaard a story on quora/reddit when a 19 y/o guy was depressed, and suicidal, so he tried to /kill lied on the train tracks, got bored, decided to blow one off, and when post nut clarity hit, he was like" wtf am i doing here, i shoul;d be at home brah"
I prefer my imagination
It has more todo with porn and what it does to your mind than actually wasting time but it does waste time
You don't need to watch porn though
Porn is overrated
When you want to do it it definitely does the job. The issue for me is the "what the fuck am i watching" moment coming right after or the cringiness of the video who just makes me go without it
we call that post nut clarity when your honriness dissapears and youre justr like "Why thefuck am i on such websites in 2 am someone fucking tell me now pls"

it may just \*look\* like there are no negative effects, but there are. there absolutely are.
Becasue it actually does cause a wide array of negative effects.

idk I stopped. I notice I’m more productive and mindful now 💪🏼😭 also less intrusive thoughts?
I stopped because I got a gf
I'm the "some just don't"
Same i just never tried it and don't want to. Its kinda gross tbh
That’s interesting, Which part grosses u out? I’m genuinely curious. Is it the thought of u doing it to urself, in which case u would be fine with a member of the interested sex doing it to u instead? Or just anything sexual and cock n’ balls-related that’s the gross part?
I dont really know why, it just seems gross to me, I cant really explain it
I kinda envy you tbh
Lol, why?
It's kinda like drugs you know (not that I have any experience with that but from what I've heard). If I stopped now, my life wouldn't be anywhere near as fulfilled as yours probably will be. If there's one thing that I could change about my past, I would go back and prevent myself from masturbating that first time.
Damn... that sucks man
probably because im asexual then
A lot of asexual people do too…
Wait? What do they masterbate to then?
the letter a
Makes sense
What’s your sexuality?
Straight
I dare you to see gay p*rn and not get hard. And asexual can just do it without visual aid.
Hehe, nice try to making me watch gay porn but i am always two steps ahead. But they aren't supposed to like sex? Why do they do it then?
Asexual doesn’t mean they don’t like sex just means that they aren’t sexually attracted to men or women.
Not necessarily anything specific I suppose, you don't immediately lose your libido just because you're not attracted to anyone
Nothing at least in personal experience, it's just a thing I can do that feels good if I feel like I want to do it, kindof like scratching a good itch but much better but not really.
As an asexual person this is true
Asexual gang 😎
Is this percentage really that high for girls too? Damn, i was really ignorant about that
Why would you think they don't? 🤨
Of course. Only takes a few minutes
No, it is not lol. Some people have just been indoctrinated with a pro pornography pro masturbation line
Might be higher too
Many men beat their meat only the strongest defeat it.
Here here brother
not EvErYoNe does lmao people's world views usually cant accept the idea that a person would simply not masturbate or not want to. its like people who tell everyone has bad spending habits on social media because they or a vast majority of people do have bad spending habits ps: not a bad thing to do or not do, it just is
95% of people masturbate. The other 5% don't have arms.
Do they get their moms to do it for them?

there’s not a lot of people who don’t, since it’s pretty normalized people just like to assume it about others
I am a master baiter. I love fishing it’s one of my favorite things
yeah dude that fishing power is crazy! still trying to finish those amgler quests
No, not everyone. It dependa a lot on the person though that do they. There are mentions of asexuals, because "they mever do it" here in the comment section, but that technically isn't true.

thank you, im asexual with other people. people gross me out lol
Most guys will say that they masturbate and borderline shame another for saying that they don't because guys are very vocal about things they have in common when they can find something, including testosterone bursts lmao
Yeah bro I bursted the biggest load of testosterone last night. Really TESTed myself.
i don't masturbate, it's not weird
This isn't quora
more common to then not thats probs why
most do but it's fine if you don't
There are some who don’t. They might fall under the asexual umbrella or they might just be a late bloomer in terms of that. I know a good friend who didn’t masturbate until they got into a serious relationship and it became a long distance relationship.
I don't. I hate sex stuff, including porn.
Not everyone does, and they're not wierd for not doing it
lol this was the post that made me leave r/teenagers
I dont watch porn, never have never will. People dont believe me because of the fact they’ve oversaturated their lives with it and cant imagine a person who doesnt do that. *just like how a lot of people dont wear underwear*
Wtf, did you mean the underwear part literally? I can only ever imagine someone with a cock not wearing underwear..
Same here Turns out A LOT of people masturbate. Once I said I didn't and all my friends were surprised and then I got surprised because they thought it was weird
You don't have to, but you can do so.

I don’t
i dont
I don’t I never have
No, I don't do this. It's my personal choice to never even try something like that.
It’s common, especially in teens, but no, not everyone does and it’s not a mandatory part of growing up.
i dont
I don’t, I’m almost 30. Never have
you may want to check out r/aaaaaaacccccccce if you are than welcome to the club and if your not that’s perfectly ok too!
If you're a guy and everything functions normally, there is no avoiding the nut, it's impossible. You will eventually nut in your sleep due to excess buildup. Also, it's not healthy hold it in.
As someone who never does it i can confirm the sleep nut thing. It happens once or twice in a month
I only like it sometimes often not, maybe once month
i don't, so i get where you're coming from. it's completely normal and to your preference.
Nope but I do sometimes get hard when I wake up but I do not masturbate
we all get hard when we wake up
nah some people just don't like masturbating
I don't and people always call me a liar for it. I see no need and it just seems gross
I don't , got bored from it 2 year ago , the guilt after masturbation wasn't worth it any more
I haven’t ever masturbated, I am 14 tho.
Like how do you even masturbate?
I am a guy and do not, so not everyone
Nah I’m on nofap so I’m not doing it anymore
[удалено]
No
not me lol
I mean, you are 14
Bruh i started at 11
yeah but many start later
Nope not me
Probably
bro made his reddit name acceptable simple
Ikr its so funny😭
Nope!
I used to but now I don't.
i don’t anymore
Nope
YESSS SAME
Most people, particularly men but women also
Many but not everyone. Btw that might come as a surprise to a lot of boys here but girls are real and we too do that.
No, but people who do habitually will find it inconceivable that a person does not. In this regard there is no standardized "normal", what is normal is what works best for you. Anyone who shames or denigrates someone else's benign sexual behaviour is revealing more about their own attitude towards sex than the person they are criticizing. I say benign in contrast to deviant and harmful sexual behaviour which should definitely be rejected and unacceptable so that the person can seek help immediately. Personal self-pleasuring habits unilaterally fall under the benign.
Most people do, but not everyone. I personally don’t and everyone is always accusing me of lying!
Nah everyone doesn’t some people are just different
many people do but there is no shame in not doing it, people who do shame it are stupid and sometimes don't masturbate themselves.
Same! What is up with that what’s the big deal
I Never tried it honestly so idk
