Interesting article thoroughly presented. I don’t spend a lot of time watching porn (or masturbating much these days, for that matter) and I can’t say I’ve ever given any thought to the NoFap Movement.

I know people (men) who I certainly would say seem addicted to porn and have difficulty in their relationships because their consumption of porn has created unrealistic sex expectations. I know of some people (men) who have told me their masturbating has caused problems with having sex with partners, penis de-sensitivity or because they have come to prefer jerking off (to porn) to actual sex. (I’m not any sort of therapist, but I worked in a mental health/addictions clinic, and, well, people talk.) In terms of the benefits touted by NoFapping, or rather the supposed deleterious physical issues caused by fapping, that strikes me as being little more than the Victorian-era claims about “self-pollution, self-abuse, or onanism.”
