>>60543804Did nofap for eight months before "nofap" was really a thing because I noticed the confidence boost without it.
I got laid more than ever and was more confident than ever during this time, but I also had dramatic emotional swings and would get really lonely in the evening if I had nowhere to go and no one to hang out with. I started dedicating so much time to making sure I got laid every few days that it became almost as counter productive as jerking off too much.
IMO, 2-3x a week if you're not getting laid, preferably without using porn, is best. It'll be seldom enough you're not walking around like an anxious mess, but also enough you're not distracted by being horny all day.
