how do I find out what's best for me? When I do it a lot I'm just "normal". When I do nofap, I'm kind of more energised but super thirsty and down for everything with 2 legs

The idea behind Nofap is that chronic masturbation is a problem, because it's a form of addiction. That instead of consuming some drug that provokes a chemical reaction in your body that affects your mind, you masturbate to reach that end. You strike me as a young man who's doing nofap not because you see your masturbation habit as a serious problem you need to get under control, but because it's a way to fit in with other guys who get their information mainly from the internet. Thing is, the best way to find out what's best for you, is to actually do new or different things than you're doing now.

To change things up, before you do your next nofap challenge, set goals for yourself to accomplish. Take a few minutes to sit down with a few sheets of paper, a pen, and focus on firmly figuring out what interests, drives, and motivates you. On the first sheet write down a list of things that you've been putting off on the back burner due to work, schooling, or just life in general. It doesn't matter how silly, or stupid the task or idea might be, just write it down. When you're done, take the second sheet of paper, and re-write the items from the first list starting with what you believe to be the simplest, easiest task, to the most complicated.

When you're done with the second list, study the book, and get to work. The challenge once you've got the list done won't be simply accomplishing them, but not allowing yourself to be de-spirited whenever you encounter difficulty, or failure. Basically, to not let yourself be defeated. You'll spend the time to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem, then start over. In order to understand what the red pill's really about, you're going to have to do more than skim the surface and cherry pick the ideas that appeal to you. You're going to have to push past the hedonist gatekeepers to fully understand 'the bigger Red Pill picture, that it's not just about women.'

If you need help, ask. There's no shortage of #books we can recommend that may help you achieve your goals. Best of luck to you.

What's your opinion on gooning? Does nofap really improve your life? Does your nofap streak end when you do it without your hands (bj from gf / clapping some cheeks)?

• 'Gooning' is masturbation, that is not an opinion, but fact. Slang didn't throw off my elders from knowing what we were talking about. It only makes them conclude their juniors are retarded.
• Whether nofap, or refraining from masturbation works is entirely dependent on if you have concluded that your own masturbation is a problem and taken the steps necessary to engage whatever stressors are prompting you to do so.
• Your nofap streak ends when you resume masturbating. While fornication is an entirely different act unto itself, there's no discernible fundamental difference between men or women who engage in 'casual sex' with the opposite sex, those who prey upon children, those who masturbate, or those who fornicate with the same sex, inanimate objects, the dead, or beasts.
