Perhaps first briefly to NoFap itself:
- One has (obviously) more time (and feels more productive)
- One gets a certain feeling of cohesion from online communities
- Nevertheless, there are no (to my knowledge) positive research results about NoFap (in the way it is recommended by many coaches)

Here is a small list of the most relevant sources about NoFap (in each case, no statement about effectiveness except specifically mentioned):

- Source [1] describes the results of a semantic analysis of ~22,700 r/NoFap posts.
- Researchers found a positive effect among users with erectile dysfunction triggered by porn use
- For the remaining members, the comments were more ambivalent on average (significantly more subjunctives), they said

- Source [2] explores a possible link between NoFap (both r/NoFap and YouTube videos) to the "manosphere"
- According to the author, r/NoFap contributes significantly to internalized male/female role models
- Opinions and views popular in the NoFap community overlap to an alarming degree with the views of pickup artists (anti-feminist, misogynistic, etc.), according to the source

- Source [3] identifies several different opinions held in the NoFap community and assesses them in terms of their impact on members' mental health
- A linguistic analysis concluded that members often position themselves in a victim role and feel sorry for each other
- The author considers many members of the movement to be racist, nationalistic, and misogynistic
- NoFap has the potential to encourage young men to engage in "terrible violence in the real world," he said
- NoFap also has a negative impact on young men's self-image.
- Source [4] analyzes different opinions spread in the NoFap community about the problematic use of pornography (addiction)
- The authors have graphically prepared the "path" into the NoFap "ideology" and divided it into three sections, the last one is titled "trap"
- Overall, negative effects on the mental health of members could be identified, especially because people often think in terms of black and white (or persevered and aborted)
- Problematic use of pornography can often be explained by childhood trauma, he said
- Reduced consumption of pornography makes sense, the rest of the thinking of NoFap rather not.

- Source [5] deals with reasons for joining the NoFap community.
- The most important reasons are religion, social impact and the view that masturbation is rather unhealthy.
My opinion on NoFap:
- Less consumption of pornography is better
- Less masturbation is better (as long as you still have enough continuous erections (15min+))

- Too little sexual activity reduces blood flow to the penis
- Therefore, the penis receives less hormones and atrophy (reduction in the size of the various cells) is inevitable (see source [6]).
- Using a pump (preferably with water) can be helpful and healthy (does not significantly increase size, but protects against loss of it)

- Various studies on finasteride describe a similar phenomenon, if you are interested I can only recommend to do some more research in this direction.

imo no need to go full on memetics with no fap, i'll let a fap slip here and there... very occasionally before bedtime.
Hobby fapping as such though, I'm not into... aesthetically or otherwise. i still remember one time when i was binge drinking all day day long for some days.. and just fapping all day long. I felt terrible, and looked like a creature from the swamp. i think it affected me physically
and the cringiest part? i was fapping to a couple of softcore clips principally throughout the sessions. no rhyme nor reason to any of it. when i thought i had seen the last of it, 30 mins later i had mt hands down in my pants yet again ("ONE last time"). i didn't understand it. but doing that day in day out would be no good at all really. a real shame in fact.

The text i wrote is not regarding porn addiction. If you have ED because of porn "No-Fap" could help you. + the other things you mentioned like sperm count "decresing" is just obvious due to your body having to produce it idk how that has any benefits. your balls being more full has benefits? The Prostate cancer thing is a weird assumption in general idk how one thing can cause another like that.

As long as you have a hard cock and dont watch too much porn you will never need No-fap. complete abstinace of a thing can make you come back to it with way more vigor than before. Just be aware of your masturbation but dont stop cause some internet Glowie told you.

>. If you have ED because of porn
Nobody has ED 'because of porn', it's because they compulsively masturbate to porn. Watching porn alone does not and cannot cause ED, idiot.
Look I've tried every combination, nofap without porn, nofap with porn and fapping without porn.
In fact for years as a teenager (should have been horniest of all lifestages) I had chronic ED and couldn't fuck on my first few sexual encounters because of limpdick and I NEVER watched porn because I didn't have a computer in my room but I did masturbate to my imagination usually once a day or every few days.
I've found masturbating without porn to be the worst of all worlds.
I don't have ED at all when I don't masturbate but continue to watch porn, in fact I spend half the day usually with an erection, and no not only when watching porn but I'll wake up rock hard or fall asleep rock hard or get hard in the shower or when walking to the store or just sitting or lying in bed.
