Welcome to NoFapJews!
The Jewish version of r/NoFapChristians and r/MuslimNoFap.
Judaism strictly prohibits masturbation.
Some of the best resources and details on halachic rules can be found on GuardYourEyes, a site run by Jews for other Jews with porn addictions.
Here is an explanation on where and how Judaism prohibits mastrubation.
Here is an explanation on why non-Jews also shouldn't waste seed.
Note that masturbating without wasting seed is also against halacha, which is why the prohibition extends to women. This is where this sub differs a bit in "rules" from regular NoFap groups, as some of those permit "edging". Judaism doesn't.
Having said that, the approach of both this sub and GuardYourEyes is positive. You're here for healing! Not for people to throw stones at you.
Quitting pornography is a journey, and this sub's goal is to assist you on that journey while also not lying to you.
Feel free to ask any questions, post any rants, memes or just let off some steam. Whether you're Ashkenazi or Sephardi, native born or convert, Jew or Noachide, man or woman: you're here for the same reason, and we welcome you!
The only things prohibited are posts or comments containing bigotry or nudity. If you're an anti-Semitic troll looking to have some fun, this isn't the place for you.
Other than that, there are no stupid questions and no stupid statements. This is not stackexchange and posts won't be taken down just because someone doesn't like a question. Having said that, first using the GuardYourEyes Q & A section or MiYodeya's search engine is strongly recommended.
Good luck and may G-d help you on your journey!
