We talk about benefits of NoFap, but what about control?
I think a lot of people in NoFap communities talk about the benefits like more energy, motivation, confidence, clearer mind, etc. And honestly, I experienced a lot of those too after staying consistent for a long time.
But something I don’t see discussed enough is control.
Before NoFap, I used to masturbate constantly, sometimes multiple times a day. After quitting for a long period, my sensitivity went way up. Mentally I felt better, physically healthier too, but once I got into a real sexual relationship, I noticed I was finishing way faster than expected.
It almost felt like I went from being overstimulated… to becoming overly sensitive. I’ve tried slowing down, breathing, kegels, edging, exercise, all the common advice. Some of it helps a little, but I still feel like control is harder now than before.
So I’m curious if other people here experienced the same thing after long-term NoFap? Did sensitivity increase for you too?
