not the point, you've never tried it, so how can you possibly comment that? i made this thread to give people who could look down that list and go: "wow, that's really weird, I have no confidence, I feel unmotivated all the time, I also masturbate to porn every day" and hopefully this would give them something to think about, or something to try.
Well yeah, that's the point, it's not something that should be done naturally, and generally people only masturbate when they're bored, hungry, angry, whatever it is. So, basically, what no pmo entails is that, instead of sitting inside wanking yourself into a coma each night, you move that sexual drive and energy into doing something productive, instead of feeling tired all the time.
Precisely, the more you masturbate to porn, the less it seems to affect you. I'm sure a lot of people who do masturbate frequently to porn will have gotten into heavier/more fetish videos from when they started. Sure, you're finding what really gets you going, which is absolutely fine, but doing it through a porn medium can be very harmful. You often see heavily addicted people posting on nofap about how they had to turn to homosexual porn, despite them being straight. This is due to this progression through heavier and heavier porn.
Some of it is, sure, like when people say they suddenly get "powers" to be able to pull women etc, this is clearly all just in their head, because how could stopping viewing porn ever make you smoother with your words? Increase your confidence, yeah, but not gain a golden tongue.
I still personally believe, after doing it myself, that there are definitely things which aren't placebo. This is things such as a deeper voice, which I notice even a few days after stopping, or more energy (I find myself being able to wake up far easier, and finding working a lot less enduring and tiring).
