Nofap is the practice of intentionally abstaining from masturbation and porn for a longer period of time. In modern society, porn is accessible like never before. There are hundreds of genres, fetishes and other non-natural categories. Each time porn is viewed, a rush of dopamine rewards the brain which will lead to addiction and its effect on the brain is similar to some drugs[1]. This rush of dopamine causes the dopamine receptors to get blocked in the brain, leading to a tolerance[2]. This tolerance will have negative health effects mentally and physically depending on how strong the addiction has delevoped[3]. Porn rewires the brain, leading to even more health problems[4].

Possible negative effects of porn consumption

  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (developing ADHD)
  • Avoiding social interactions
  • Brain fog
  • Depression
  • Diminished learning capability
  • Divorce rate is doubled[5]
  • Engaging in risky antisocial behaviours
  • Higher chance engaging in other addictive behaviours such as drinking, gambling etc.
  • Increased risk of suicide
  • Insecurity
  • Lack of Motivation
  • Less self-control
  • Loneliness
  • Low self-confidence
  • Lower Intelligence (IQ)[4][6]
  • Nervousness
  • Poor concentration
  • Poor self-esteem
  • Poorer physical health
  • Porn develops fetishes[7]
  • Procrastination
  • Real sex less enjoyable
  • Relationship problems
  • Sexual dysfunction[8]
  • Sleep problems[9]
  • Slower learning
  • Social Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Worse quality of life

Possible effects on Polyphasic Sleep Adaptation

  • The tolerance to dopamine absorption that porn addiction has created in affected people, will lead to a general loss of motivation in daily life. When sleep deprived during an adaptation, motivation is needed to not oversleep, therefore a porn addiction can cause more difficulties during an adaptation and reduce the chance to adapt to a schedule.
  • An addiction to porn can lead to depression and therefore also causing sleep difficulties and sleep disorders such as insomnia, making an adaptation to schedules more difficult.
  • Due to a loss of motivation caused by porn, discipline reduces and therefore can also cause difficulties staying consistant on a schedule.
  • Porn cravings can possibly destroy an adaptation because affected people don't have control over their actions and can't resist watching porn in a moment where the person should actually sleep, do a dark period or other routines and activities that promotes his sleep.
