NoFap has a lot of benefits, improving social skills being one of them.
A lot of nofappers(people who do nofap) claim that before starting nofap they were extremely shy and awkward with people, especially women. After following nofap, they became charismatic and had no problem with talking to anyone. Before they used to avoid social gatherings but after following nofap they started loving being around people and talking with them.
In this article, we’re gonna discuss how porn and masturbation make you socially awkward and how nofap improves your social skills.
Porn and Masturbation Makes You Socially Awkward
The reason why nofap improves your social skills is because porn and masturbation make you socially awkward and shy. There’s no magic in nofap, it’s just that it makes you “normal”, meaning nofap is your normal state.
Humans are social animals, meaning they have a tendency to socialize and mingle with people, but porn and masturbation take away your willingness and motivation to mingle with people.
Humans are supposed to feel excited while talking to other people because getting to know people and having a conversation with someone releases dopamine, which is a feel-good chemical.
Porn and masturbation also release dopamine, that’s why you feel pleasure while indulging in those activities, and a lot more than that is released by talking to people. So, your dopamine receptors get desensitized and you no longer get pleasure out of social interactions and start avoiding them.
After giving up porn and masturbation, your dopamine receptors get to the normal level and your brain starts craving dopamine because it is not getting flooded by the dopamine released by porn and masturbation. So, you start getting pleasure out of little things like talking to people and having a meaningful conversation with someone.
I asked the question to people whether or not porn and masturbation made them socially anxious on my Instagram page(@the_fapstronaut). Let’s look at the results.
91% of people said that porn and masturbation made them socially anxious, while 9% said it didn’t.
Making you socially anxious is just one of the many harmful side effects of excessive PMO(porn, masturbation, orgasm). To know about all the harmful side effects of porn and masturbation, check out my THIS ARTICLE.
How NoFap Can Improve Your Social Skills
Now that you’ve understood how porn and masturbation make you socially anxious. Let’s now look at how nofap can help in improving your social skills.
1. Higher Self-Esteem
One reason for being socially awkward while regularly indulging in porn and masturbation is that porn and masturbation badly impact your self-esteem. You start thinking of yourself as inferior, that’s why you can’t talk confidently with people. Porn and masturbation bring guilt and shame with them.
People who watch porn and masturbate excessively report that whenever they are in public, they feel that everyone is looking at them and judging them. They also constantly worry about what other people think about them. This is a symbol of having low self-esteem.
I asked this question to people on my Instagram page(@the_fapstronaut). Let’s look at what people say.
95% of people said that they experienced low self esteem when they were masturbating excessively, while 5% said they didn’t.
Being on nofap improves your image in your own eyes. You no longer think of yourself as inferior and no longer think what anyone else thinks about you. This greatly improves your social skills because you no longer have to think about what the other person will think about you before starting a conversation with them.
When you have higher self-esteem, you can easily talk to anyone and you stop thinking about what anyone else thinks about you. You’ll feel confident in any social gatherings and will be able to talk to anyone with ease.
2. More Willingness to Socialize
Porn and masturbation take away your willingness to socialize. You no longer feel like socializing, you just feel like being in your room alone watching porn and jerking off.
Porn and masturbation addicts don’t like going to parties, not because they hate parties but because they hate being around people. They feel extremely nervous around people.
NoFap makes you more willing to socialize. When you do nofap, you feel a constant urge to strike up a conversation with any stranger. People who do nofap report that before they never felt like talking to strangers but after following nofap they had this urge in them to strike up a conversation with as many people as possible.
You start taking interest in other people’s lives and just the act of talking with a stranger starts giving you fulfillment and pleasure. You become genuinely interested in other people’s lives and forming a stronger bond with people. Forming genuine connections with people start giving you pleasure and joy on nofap.
3. Better ‘Game’ With Women
NoFap improves your ‘game’ with women. Porn and masturbation make you see women as sex objects and nofap makes you see women as equals.
Porn and masturbation make you see sex as the ultimate goal of life and since only women can give you sex, you start treating them like goddesses and it makes you think of them as sex objects. This badly hurts your chances with women.
Whenever a porn and masturbation addict has a conversation with a woman, all he can think of is taking her to bed and the woman can sense it. That’s why people who watch porn and masturbate regularly rarely get a gf and can’t hold a conversation with women because all they can think about is having sex.
When you give up porn and masturbation, you start seeing women as normal fellow human beings and you no longer think about having sex with them all the time. Nofappers(people who do nofap) claim that their game with women improved a lot after following nofap and they could hold a meaningful conversation with women and not just think about sex.

You can go to any nofap forum on the internet and read hundreds of testimonials of people stating how nofap greatly improved their game with women. You can read one such testimonial on Reddit by CLICKING HERE.
It’s important to note here that just doing nofap is not enough. NoFap will make you more willing to go out and socialize, but you’re still gonna have to go out and talk to people to improve your social skills. Just doing nofap and sitting in your home all day won’t improve your social skills.
Also, you need to incorporate other good habits like exercising, meditation, journaling, etc., to get the maximum benefits from nofap.

If you watch porn and masturbate regularly, there’s a good chance that your social anxiety is due to excessive use of porn and masturbation.
