NoFap

unsubscribe25,290 readers

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.

Didnt know this was posted to no-fap when I first saw it, was majorly confused what that gif meant.

[–]FAP_IN_THE_BOX33 days 6 points7 points ago

Me too. I had no idea what was going on haha.

[–]Eddyoshi1 day 0 points1 point ago

lol

[–]plaetdude4541 day 0 points1 point ago

same

[–]ragewontquit 14 points15 points ago

LOL they are beautiful but generally beautiful women don't make me want to fap...it's the dirty slutty ones....oops

[–]Ifapmorethanu36 days 32 points33 points ago

I have given up looking at virtually anything on here except for nofap. Too tempting.

[–]Slantedinnuendo 23 points24 points ago

So you reddit only for nofap???

[–]fragq 10 points11 points ago

It doesn't sound like such a bad move on his part.

[–]grapthor16 days 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but it's tough to give up /r/cartalk when you're doing a lot of your own repairs.

[–]KousKous 0 points1 point ago

"Don't drive like my brother!" ?

[–]grapthor16 days 0 points1 point ago

And don't drive like my brother!

/r/cartalk is a general car repair subreddit, no Click nor Clack.

[–]Pilotted6 days 1 point2 points ago

I was just about to go click too. I love the Tappert Bros. Kept me sane on hour long drives back and forth to class.

[–]grapthor16 days 1 point2 points ago

Damn shame they're retiring.

[–]Pilotted6 days 0 points1 point ago

What? Nooooooooooooooo

[–]grapthor16 days 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it's some time in the next couple months too. Now how will we know whose brother not to drive like?! Hopefully Erasmus Bedragin can help. :(

[–]fragq 0 points1 point ago

That's why I said on his part, it seems to be working for him but it's not for everyone. I can't give up reddit because I mod a few sub-reddits and I feel pretty close to them now. Them and a few others that intererest me are my only subscriptions now, and these are generally sub-reddits that are helping me in some way in my life.

[–]LactoseGalaxy138 days 11 points12 points ago

Wise move.

[–]fratticus_maximus 0 points1 point ago

I honestly had no idea that some of the people on him can be tempted to fap from just a simple picture like that.

[–]42912349016 days 1 point2 points ago

It's a gateway drug. First I saw the pic, then I googled the blonde. Then I realized what I was doing and stopped :)

[–]WhatEvv4 days 10 points11 points ago

now I want to see the picturesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[–]speaktanglish1 day 8 points9 points ago

Don't do it. This is your warning. So good, it's painful. Just don't.

[–]Slantedinnuendo 18 points19 points ago

Here's a picture of a swimmer.

don'tclickthedot.NSFW

NSFW

[–]baalsitch 9 points10 points ago

Thanks you posted that pic unaware of my oopahloompah beej fetish.

[–]imthebetterman1 day 7 points8 points ago

phew. saved by troll

[–]NoFappityFap71 days 1 point2 points ago

We should have our own NSFNF (Not Safe For No Fap), there is a pretty big gap sometimes between NSFW and NSFNF

[–]grapthor16 days 2 points3 points ago

But that would kill every joke where someone used NSFW as a temptation.

[–]Sinnermario13 days 1 point2 points ago

the ridicules faces make it a big turn off for me .

[–]reddell 1 point2 points ago

One on the left is amazing.

[–]Vertyx 7 points8 points ago

She's 17 and that means no one are allowed to find her attractive. /Hive mind out

[–]Nex-per-Machina16 days 7 points8 points ago

UK legal. Insert my wooden patio into your mouth.

[–]Duck_Expert29 days 2 points3 points ago

Im 17...yes I am

[–]kuvter17 days 2 points3 points ago

A duck expert at age 17, well done sir or ma'am!

[–]willman1612 days 2 points3 points ago

I'm 16, so......

[–]q1o2142 days 1 point2 points ago

The perfect age! Heh heh

[–]keppler22b3 days 1 point2 points ago

very traumatizing

[–]Kyanize1 day 0 points1 point ago

My curiosity got the best of me, but you sir saved me with that last picture. Bravo!

[–]laiika20 days 0 points1 point ago

Don't do it, they aren't that great looking.

[–]Hi_Im_Insanity10 days[!] 0 points1 point ago

Stay strong, friend!

[–]Dresdin4 days 18 points19 points ago

Just imagine. You keep rocking NoFap and always challenging yourself to kick ass at life and you can have a girl like that.

[–]HedoNNN12 days -4 points-3 points ago

This.

[–]zenzealot16 days 10 points11 points ago

HAHAHAAH OMG I can't stop laughing. I was thinking the same thing when I saw that today!

That GIF is hilarious as well. Have an upvote.

[–]jasonhchoi5 days 2 points3 points ago

LOL It doesn't bother me (I went ahead and saw the pictures) but you have a point! :)

Way back when I was beginning nofap it was so damn hard and the last thing we need is unnecessary temptation

[–]0blomov9 days 1 point2 points ago

There are browser extensions that remove NSFW submissions from showing up. You might want to install that.

[–]McAndze4 days 0 points1 point ago

Well, it was SWF all right..

[–]0blomov9 days 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, there wasn't any nudity, but it was flagged as NSFW by the submitter.

screencap

[–]McAndze4 days 1 point2 points ago

Must've been later then, I've disabled NSFW stuff, and it still showed up for me.

[–]0blomov9 days 0 points1 point ago

Oh, that's possible; didn't think about that. :)

[–]compto35 2 points3 points ago

Obviously you didn't see the US Women's Water Polo Team

[–]rebuildingMyself6 days 0 points1 point ago

Much worse. Holy hell what a temptation

[–]christiantabile8 days 2 points3 points ago

they're not even that great looking.

[–]grchjo 10 points11 points ago

come on are you kidding?

[–]legacy5k 7 points8 points ago

Obviously they are smoking hot, but I do believe there IS a little bit of a cheerleader effect going on there.... (I'm talking about their faces, not their bodies obviously)

[–]Ozzy79 days 3 points4 points ago

My tastes tend to differ from most, so I have to agree and say they're alright.

[–]grapthor16 days 3 points4 points ago

The one for the USA Water Polo team was worse. Like straight up naked beautiful women in a pool, though they were, shall we say, strategically placing arms and legs.

But I don't really get this problem. I just unsubscribed from a ton of subreddits that are mostly time wasters (like /r/pics, /r/adviceanimals, etc) and kept ones that I found informational, newsworthy, and otherwise helpful (like /r/ainbow, /r/gadgets, /r/mnbarcraft, /r/android, /r/cartalk, /r/nofap, /r/fitness, and a few others) Sure, I am more likely to run out of stuff to read on Reddit, but then again, I don't think I really want to spend all day on Reddit.

[–]kuvter17 days 2 points3 points ago

Here are a few SFW subreddits that I like /r/fortporn, /r/waterporn, /r/ArchitecturePorn, /r/DesignPorn, /r/geekporn

/r/bodyweightfitness which is fairly void of pictures, but maybe not a good idea for the women, because when there are pics/videos they're typically of men who are shape doing almost Olympic type body weight feats of strength. Essentially it's a safer alternative to /r/fitness and you can basically get the same advice there.

/r/parkour rather than fap, be hardcore parkour!

*Warning: Even though I work 40hr/week, work out (CC & C25K), parkour, disc golf, swim, and play volleyball I still spend way too much time on Reddit.

TL;DR Avoid major subreddits and go for more specialized ones, then you can avoid fap temptation while still spending a ton of time on Reddit!

[–]grapthor16 days 2 points3 points ago

Oh man, I love the SFW Porn subreddits. Awesome network.

[–]kuvter17 days 1 point2 points ago

Oh, I should link the SFW Porn Network. It's currently telling me it's down, so if that doesn't work check this sidebar, it should be the same subreddits

[–]Farrit32 days 1 point2 points ago

I see this, get all excited, start clicking.. Go to /r/GeekPorn and the first thread on the page has a smexy anime girl on it...

/sigh... I'm going to go take a cold shower now.

[–]kuvter17 days 1 point2 points ago

Oh I'm sorry!!! I guess sexy cosplay finds it's way in there some times, but it's far from the majority of posts. Sorry!

[–]Farrit32 days 2 points3 points ago

Hahaha, it's quite alright. It's hard to dodge some of that crap, even on your best day, especially given today's media.

Besides, it's good to give yourself a test every now and then. Helps build up a resistance. =D

[–]kuvter17 days 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for forgiving me! I only meant well with my suggestions.

[–]CitrusKing16 days 0 points1 point ago

The USA Water Polo? The new one is the German Soccer Team. I'm going to do what you did unsuscribe from timewasters.

[–]grapthor16 days 1 point2 points ago

I also recommend Reddit Enhancement Suite. NoFap aside, it's damn useful!

[–]IamwhogodsaysIam21 days 1 point2 points ago

Yeah same. I opened it but then it becomes triggering. You honestly can't open much these days. But such is life. The rewards greatly outweigh not being able to see some T & A. I am at my job right now and they were talking about a sexy picture some chick sent one of them... In the old days I would run over to see what it was but now I know it will keep me from being the person I want to be. For me curiosity is a huge enabler to Fapping. "let me just see this one last link" then a bender ensues

[–]amazingalexander4 days 1 point2 points ago

I was just waiting for someone to post something about this

[–]drive22222211 days 0 points1 point ago

thats what I call a teamwork!

[–]Camp_Olympia16 days 1 point2 points ago

Not sure I understand the relevance?

[–]superphotonerd21 days 5 points6 points ago

that gif is a reverse of this video, basically the OP is saying the guy who posted those pics, which made it to the front page has made us fapstronauts want to set him on fire for teasing our eyes!

[–]grapthor16 days 0 points1 point ago

No, they want to shove him under a car that's on fire. Any idiot can be set on fire and run to the nearest extinguishing source, but it's a lot harder to move a twisted wreck off of your body.

[–]superphotonerd21 days 0 points1 point ago

the NoFap is strong in this one

[–]blaowppow79 days 0 points1 point ago

It took some restraint, indeed.

[–]LactoseGalaxy138 days 0 points1 point ago

Well posted. ;)

[–]reddell 0 points1 point ago

Context? I didn't see that one.

[–]txphotog12 days 0 points1 point ago

I couldn't figure out why they were shoving that guy back UNDER the burning wreckage,then I got the context...

[–]NoFapx44 days 0 points1 point ago

Hahahaha my exact thoughts when I opened up my frontpage this morning, I immediately went to the gym and squatted 200 lb and deadlifted 250 lb. feelsgoodman

[–]klif0117 days 0 points1 point ago

I may have to move to austrailia...

[–]Beast6618 days 0 points1 point ago

good move

[–]puckingaround2 days 0 points1 point ago

lol, luckily you didn't see pics of the Netherlands field hockey team then

[–]laiika20 days 1 point2 points ago

Never mind the swimming team, the U.S. water polo team must be avoided at all costs!

[–]CombatCow 0 points1 point ago

Can I get a link?

[–]Russian_Unicorn38 days 0 points1 point ago

I spit out my food when I saw the pic. Being in a pizzeria saved me though.

[–]BR0THAKYLE 0 points1 point ago

I like how the officer is just holding onto people. Only one getting paid but not helping. Lol

[–]mroks 0 points1 point ago

You just put a vidio in replay

[–]clearlyreading79 days 0 points1 point ago

Its all about control boys...all about control.

[–]jonesdante18 -1 points0 points ago

I have yet to start my No-Fap journey, and when I first came across this sub-reddit, I saw all the benefits: mostly more energy and ambition, and perhaps talking to a cute girl or two.

But if every time someone posts a pretty girl, this is what happens, screw it. I'll drink caffeine and work out and watch whatever the hell I want and fap 5 times a day till I'm 90, just like I'm doing now.

Those Australian girls were cute, but I'd have to see a lot more to label them as "temptation". If you're so desperate to bust a nut that seeing (rather fetching) bikinis that show less skin than on the beach, move to one of the Amish enclaves, or another culture that completely covers up their women.

Your obsession is getting worse, not better.

[–]AlRubyx 0 points1 point ago

One does not simply post something on the front page.

"HMMM I THINK I ONLY WANT THIS TO GET A COUPLE UPVOTES I'M GONNA POST IT ON LIKE PAGE 50."

[–]Cranktime11 days 0 points1 point ago

I had the same problem with that Michelle Jenneke video.

[–]meandself54 days 0 points1 point ago

Meh I saw the picture, didn't feel anything. I'd rather look at real women now than pictures.

[–]Alienkid222 days 0 points1 point ago

What is going on?

[–]stven00752 days 1 point2 points ago

OP, why the fuck would you post this? it doesn't do shit and it only tempts more people to visit the link that you're referring to.

[–]Human__Being10 days 0 points1 point ago

Please don't post things like this.

[–]brnofap3 days -2 points-1 points ago

Well now you've gone and made me search something i should not have..

[–]Ozzy79 days 0 points1 point ago

The one thing I really thank God for is not sharing the same tastes in women as 80% of reddit. Maybe it's because I'm a white-washed Asian boy who digs different flavors of women. But those Aussie swimming girls were just alright.
