Introduction /r/NoFap is a venue for Redditors, male or female, to openly discuss the many tangible benefits of NOT masturbating for a period of time. Whether your goal is to casually participate in a NoFap week or monthly challenge as a test of self control, or if fapping has become an addictive problem in your life and you want to quit for a longer period of time, you will find a home and friends here.
For new visitors please view the Your Brain On Porn presentation for a semi-scientific look at why we are quitting; however, NoFappers choose to quit for a variety of different reasons.
