The 21st century is filled with potential distractions, some of which are destroying men from the inside. Dirty videos are among the worst outlets for a man’s mental and physical health, which is why mastering your sexual energy is so important. The following are the best nofap benefits:
- More Self-Confidence: To start, I’d like to say that nofap alone does not increase your self-confidence. This is a quality that must be brought to the surface by a number of other factors, most notably through a changed self-image. However, nofap allows you to enhance your self-image, which in turn has a positive effect on your self-confidence. The reason is that rather than engaging with a habit that you know to be degenerate, that you know to be shameful, you’re instead choosing to fight the powerful 21st century urge of getting off to women on a screen. It doesn’t make it any easier that social media has become hyper sexualized as well, which speaks to how mentally strong you have to be to follow through with this journey. So, the mere fact that you’re avoiding the easy path while building your sexual energy in the process will have you feeling as if you can take on any challenge or any endeavour. You will be seeing yourself in a different, positive light, and that changed perspective affects how you interact with the people around you – this being one of the more noticeable nofap benefits. You’ll also notice more sincerity in your words, a charming energy with women, and the ability to act more courageously and charismatically in general. Biologically speaking, this makes perfect sense as after 30 days of abstaining from this habit, testosterone increases substantially; and any man with high t-levels will naturally be able to think and behave in these ways. However, the process you choose to obey is really subjective; some guys prefer to abstain from all forms of release including sex, whereas some (like myself) abstain from porn and masturbation, but still have sex.
- Enhanced Cognitive Functioning: There is a notion that men become hyper-intelligent when on the nofap journey. Napoleon Hill, the successful author of Think and Grow Rich, noted that men are able to access their creative capacities at a much deeper level when retaining their seed. And a process called sexual transmutation is what transforms such creatively intelligent thinking into inventions, art and other quality forms of output. You will no longer deal with brain fog as a result of your dopamine system being reset. When your brain is overstimulated with dopamine releases that require no effort, you’re essentially rewarding yourself so much that there is no internal drive to accomplish anything meaningful – such as an invention or art as mentioned. When you reset your dopamine system, you will feel more enjoyment for the small pleasures like enjoying food; while also having more of a mental capacity for producing work. I would say that this might be the most useful of the nofap benefits. Remember that remaining stagnant, wasting time on this journey is pointless. You must stay engaged with healthy and productive outlets to reap all of the benefits.
- Less Negative Emotion: Experiencing less negative emotion is optimal in your day-to-day, and this is yet another one of the powerful nofap benefits. If you’re going through a depressed stage in life or you’re simply more of a neurotic person, this is a great solution for you. Most importantly, stay away from porn. The reason is because, as mentioned, there is a sense of shame and regret felt after getting off to these videos. Consequently, these emotions will manifest themselves into low self-worth, sadness and embarrassment – all of which constitute a depressed state of mind. I can attest that once I abstained for at least two weeks, I felt a lot less anxious and depressed. You might also begin to feel more positive emotions like joy and excitement.
- Higher Sex Drive: Since you’re not spilling your seed constantly on nofap, that sexual energy will build inside of you. Your testosterone will increase, and so will your urge to release. But because you’re not releasing the easy way, your brain will become more primed to search for sex. You’ll find that you’ll be approaching women more, and getting their attention and retaining their interest will be a much smoother process due to the testosterone spike. In these moments you’ll feel much more alive and masculine; this is the most important of all nofap benefits in terms of emphasizing your manhood, biologically speaking. Keep in mind that you will naturally feel horny more often throughout the day, and satisfying that urge with sex might not always benefit you. Sometimes clarity of mind is necessary in certain situations, so if you choose to go the sex route on nofap, it’s best to give it at least a few days in between sessions.
