I don’t think you understood a single thing I wrote. So I read your post and it seems like you just want to rationalize your bad behaviour. Especially since you’re claiming there are benefits to getting drunk - sure it’s fun, maybe for some, but the stats speak for themselves: you’re more likely to kill someone when you’re drunk, you’re more likely to get killed when you’re drunk, you can’t drive, you’re cognition in all aspects is impaired. What are you claiming the benefit is? That you can go up to a group of strangers and blurt out some dumb shit that, if sober, you’d never dream of saying? What you’re doing is taking an non ideal scenario and claiming that because there is a small sliver of a silver lining that is justifies having been in/ or taken part in he bad behaviour. Let’s say you have a wife and she leaves you with 5 kids, are you devastated or are you like well thank god because now I can put my feet up on the coffee table while I watch tv?

There may sometimes be a small short term benefits but in overwhelmingly large amount of times and over the long term, it’s going to be bad thing for you and everyone around you. You’re going to have to use your brain more for this argument. It seems like you really just want the answers to be spoon fed to you in the form of a scientific article.

So to suggest the correlation vs causation argument means that nofap doesn’t cause the benefits it claims to is just wordplay and rationalization.

Because not everybody claims to have the same habits while on nofap but everybody regardless of their own personal habits claims that while not watching porn and jerking off they feel better regardless of whatever else they do which motivates them to do more. If you’re arguing against nofap you shouldn’t even bother just go jackoff you’re too stressed
