    I know it’s not what you asked, OP, but NoFap is a purity cult. Cross reference the mods from r/nofap and you’ll find heavy correlation with religious sub’s.

    Despite claims for helping porn/sex addicts, their intent is to get their foot in the door.

    If you want to live a life of NoFap for reasons you decide for yourself, fine, but don’t do it to gain any of the benefits those twats claim.

    Worst case scenario is you get prostate cancer.

      My apologizing for not understanding that it’s a cult. All I know is what it means to me is “making a personal decision to refrain from masturbation because I feel energetically stronger when I save that energy for [whatever/whoever].”

        You do you, if you feel energetically stronger, that’s almost certainly due to your personality.

        Research has been done to discern whether athletes should refrain from sex before sports. The results showed that there was no meaningful performance difference is clarity, concentration, or energy levels.

          And by the sounds of the olympics, good luck getting the athletes from around the world that you put in one place to stop finding other athletes attractive XD

        If you’re making a decision for yourself, because you feel better for not doing something, where the alternative is to do it out of habit or some form of compulsion that makes you feel bad or like it’s a waste of energy, then you definitely don’t need strangers on the internet telling you anything about it (doubly so if it doesn’t hurt anyone.)
