Good question. I think it is a crutch – just like peacocking, alcohol or anything else you use to boost your confidence that is not your genuine understanding and know how. With that said, I have tried it all. Never worked for me – but I do believe any man working on building his confidence, regardless of the tool he uses, the better off he is.

Getting off porn was massive in changing my frame (the type I was into distorted my view of women heavily) and it made me less depressed, but avoiding masturbation itself barely changed things. Ive figured it was just the simple pattern interrupt that caused the “superpowers”, but then again I’ve heard stories.

Curious what your take is on all that NoFap stuff is, as odd as it all sounds.
