A lot of people say that nofap is all in your head. They say porn and masturbation have no harmful side effects, and giving it up has no benefits. The benefits people experience on nofap is just all in their head. In this article, we’re going to discuss whether nofap is all in your head or not.
No, NoFap is NOT all in your head. The harmful side effects of excessive use of porn and masturbation are real, and giving up porn and masturbation(doing nofap) can reverse all those damages.
Social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, erectile dysfunction, brain fog are just some of the many harmful side effects of excessive PMO(Porn, masturbation, orgasm). To know about all the side effects, check out my detailed article on the topic by clicking here.
Is NoFap All in Your Head?
As I’ve already answered, NoFap is NOT all in your head.
Porn and masturbation can get addictive. If you’ve got an alcohol addiction and you quit drinking alcohol, you’re gonna experience benefits. Quitting alcohol will reverse all the damage done by it. Similarly, quitting porn and masturbation will reverse all the damage done by it.
Many people have experienced the harmful side effects of porn and masturbation before even knowing about nofap. To say that nofap is all in people’s head means saying that all the side effects that they experienced due to porn and masturbation is in their head.
Why Do People Say NoFap is All In Your Head?
If the side effects of excessive use of porn and masturbation are real and quitting it can reverse the damage, then why do some people say that nofap is all in your head.
Well, I’ve observed that there are 3 types of people who say that nofap is all in people’s heads. Let’s look at who those people are:-
1. People Who’ve Never Had a Compulsion to Watch Porn or Jerk off
People who never had a compulsion to watch porn or jerk off say that nofap is all in people’s heads. That’s like a person who rarely drinks says that the benefits of quitting alcohol are just in people’s heads.
When you indulge in porn and masturbation rarely(say, once a week), you’re not gonna experience the harmful side effects, but if you indulge in it daily, then you’re gonna experinece the damaging side effects.
There are mainly women in this category. When you go to online health magazine sites like healthline.com, medicalnewstoday.com, etc., you find women writing that porn and masturbation are normal and healthy. These women themselves rarely indulge in porn and masturbation and have never had a compulsion.
Women do get addicted to porn and masturbation but men are much more likely to get addicted. We, as men, have a biological need to spread our seeds as much as possible and men are more inclined towards sex, porn, and masturbation. That’s why most men start watching porn and jerking off from the age of 11-12.
Don’t listen to the advice of people who themselves never had a compulsion to watch porn and masturbate. Porn and masturbation addictions are very real things and can turn you into a lifeless zombie.
You can go to the online NoFap forum on Reddit, r/NoFap, and read about people’s confessions about how porn and masturbation ruined their life. You’ll find many confessions of people about how porn and masturbation damaged their life. Here is one such confession.
You can find thousands of confessions like this. Saying porn and masturbation have no side effects is saying that either all these people are lying or the side effects are just in their heads. These people started experiencing the damaging effects of porn and masturbation years before knowing about nofap.
2. People Who’ve Never Done NoFap
People who’ve never done nofap themselves say that nofap is all in your head.
Either they don’t indulge in porn and masturbation or are too dependent on it to even think about quitting it. Whatever the reason, you shouldn’t listen to the advice of people who’ve never themselves done nofap.
I’ve been following the nofap lifestyle for the past 4 years and have experienced all the damaging effects of porn and masturbation and have also experienced how your life improves when you quit porn and masturbation.
You can go to the online nofap forum on Reddit, r/nofap, and should only listen to the advice of people who are actually doing nofap.
3. People Who’ve Done NoFap But Did Not Experinece Any Benefits
People who’ve done nofap but did not experinece any benefits say that nofap is all in your head.
These people either:-
a) Never had a compulsion to watch porn or jerk off, or
b) Did not stick with nofap for long enough
Just like a person who rarely drinks will experience little to no benefits when he quits drinking, but a person who drinks daily will experinece much more benefits when he quits drinking, the same goes for nofap too.
You need to stick with nofap long enough to experience the nofap benefits. Some people only do nofap for the benefits and when they don’t experience the benefits, they get disappointed. The aim of doing nofap shouldn’t be to experience the benefits but to quit porn and masturbation.
Do NoFap for at least 30 days before judging whether nofap is working for you or not.
Are NoFap Benefits Not Real?
NoFap benefits are very real. NoFap reverses all the damage done by porn and masturbation.
You’ll feel confident, motivated and your self-esteem will improve, but that’s how you’re supposed to feel, it’s just that porn and masturbation took it away from you.

NoFap is Not a Magic Tool
If you treat nofap as a magic tool that’ll solve all your life’s problems, then you’ll be highly disappointed.
As I’ve already said, NoFap can reverse all the damage done by porn and masturbation and get you to your “normal” state. Now it’s up to you to work on the things you want to achieve.
Porn and masturbation take away your confidence and makes you socially awkward, and nofap will give you your confidence back and make you charismatic. Now it’s up to you to utilize that confidence and charisma to approach women and talk to them confidently. Just doing nofap and not approaching women won’t get you a girlfriend.
Similarly, porn and masturbation take away your energy and motivation, and nofap will give you your energy and motivation back. Now it’s up to you to utilize that energy and motivation to hit the gym regularly and work on your body. Just doing nofap and not working out won’t give you the physique you want.
