7. Does nightfall/Wet Dream break NoFap?
No, nightfall does not break nofap.
This is one of the most asked questions about nofap. New people on nofap worry that nightfall/wet dreams will break their nofap streak or reduce the nofap benefits. Nightfall is completely natural and there is nothing to worry about it.
However, some people might feel a temporary dip in energy after having a nightfall/wet dream. But, that doesn’t break your nofap streak. NoFap is about eliminating porn and masturbation out of your life, not preventing nightfall.
59% of people reported that they feel a dip in energy after a wet dream, while 41% said they didn’t. However, that dip in energy is only temporary and not something you should worry about.

8. Will NoFap help me get a girlfriend?
NoFap will not directly help you in getting a girlfriend, but it will give you confidence to approach women.
Many people reported that they started feeling much more confident in approaching women after following nofap, and thus got a girlfriend.
Before they couldn’t gather enough courage to approach women, and even if they did, they were very awkward and shy. But after following nofap, they approach and talk confidently to women.
Just getting a girlfriend should not be the primary reason behind doing nofap, in my opinion. You should do nofap to kick porn and masturbation out of your life because PMO(porn, masturbation, orgasm) has a lot of harmful side-effects.
9. Does NoFap Improve Social Skills?
Yes, nofap does improves social skills.
Porn and masturbation take you away from reality and put you in virtual reality and make you awkward and socially anxious. Giving up porn and masturbation can make you more confident in social gatherings.
Many people have reported that before following nofap, they were socially anxious and couldn’t hold a conversation with people. After following nofap, their social anxiety went away and they were much more confident while talking to people.
This is something that I’ve also experienced. When I was watching porn and masturbating regularly, I was socially awkward, couldn’t maintain eye contact, and felt intimidated while talking to people. After following nofap, I’m much more confident, I look people in the eye while talking and talk with assertiveness and confidence.
