NOFAP RULES

THE LIST O F GREATS

(self.NoFap)

subm itte d 21 ho urs a go * by no fa phm g 2 da ys

THE LIST OF GREATS

Here is the list of NoFap legends (Great men that benefited from seminal conservation). Please help me add. No hearsay please, your additions must have quotes from believable sources.

All on the list fall into one of the three categories:

1. Refrained from all sexual release (masturbation and sex) believing it provided mental/physical benefits

2. Refrained from masturbation believing it provided mental/physical benefits 3. Refrained from sex believing it provided mental/physical benefits

Whether one refrained from sex or masturbation (for life or for a short period of time, as in the case of athletes) they must have done so due to their awareness of its benefits.

(Note: Some of these men refrained from masturbating, some men had children, and some of these men were completely celibate or became celibate at some point in their lives. I DO NOT endorse celibacy and this is not a pro-celibacy forum but rather an anti-PMO site. Nonetheless, for our benefit, I make the logical assumption that if they were celibate, they probably did not masturbate to pornography on the internet.) Sigmund Freud Psychologist and founder of Psychoanalysis

“Freud held the opinion (based on personal experience and observation) that sexual activity was incompatible with the accomplishing of any great work. Since he felt that the great work of creating and establishing psychotherapy was his destiny, he told his wife that they could no longer engage in sexual relations. Indeed from about the age of forty until his death Freud was absolutely celibate "in order to sublimate the libido for creative purposes," according to his biographer Ernest Jones.”

(Source: http://www.wien-vienna.com/freud.php) Sir Issac Newton Scientist and Mathmatician Life long celibate. Believed to have died a virgin.

“The way to chastity is not to struggle with incontinent thoughts but to avert the thoughts by some employment, or by reading, or by meditating on other things,” (Letter to philosopher John Locke, source:

http://www.newtonproject.sussex.ac.uk/view/texts/normalized/THEM00061) Muhammad Ali Boxing Legend

“There’s a kid just come down here named Cassius Clay. If you bet on him every time he fights, you’ll be a rich man, ‘cause he won’t lose a single fight. I believe his thing is sexual control. And he’s got it. Any kid who can control his sex can with the title. I believe it.” (Olympic Boxing Coach, Harry Wiley, quote from book ‘Muhammad Ali, The Greatest.’ Further source:

http://www.ecologyofthespirit.com/_infoexchange/articles/The%20New%20Science%20of%20Seminal%20Conservation.htm) Mike Tyson Boxing Legend

“I never knew that conquering so many women takes so much from you more than adds so much to you. I always read that the great fighters never had sex before fights and I was a young kid and I wanted to be the youngest heavyweight champion in the world, so I restrained myself from sex for around five years.”

Mike Tyson in ‘Tyson’ Nofaplife: http://nofaplife.com/?p=691#comments Nikola Tesla Legendary Scientist and Inventor

“He believed that celibacy spurred on the brain…”

BBC Article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19503846 Mahatma Gandhi Freedom Fighter

“We have considered how to keep good health, on what it depends and how to conserve it. If all men always followed the rules of health and observed unbroken celibacy, the chapters [of this book] that follow would not be necessary because such men cannot possibly suffer any physical or mental illness.”

"Sexual pressure, sexual desire, actually, I think is short-period satisfaction and, often, that leads to more complication,"

"Davis: You can't come [cum], then fight or play. You can't do it. When I get ready to come, I come. But I do not come and play. Interviewer: Explain that in layman's terms. Davis: Ask Muhammad Ali. If he comes, he can't fight two minutes. Shit, he couldn't even whip me. Interviewer: Would you fight Muhammad Ali under those conditions, to prove your point? Davis: You're goddam right I'd fight him. But he's got to promise to fuck first. If he ain't going to fuck, I ain't going to fight. You give up all your energy when you come. I mean, you give up all of it! So, if you're going to fuck before a gig, how are you going to give something when it's time to hit?"

"...She took me to a sanatorium to talk with this shrink. He asked me did I ever masturbate and I told him, no. He couldn't believe that. He told me that I should do that every day instead of shooting dope. I thought that maybe he should put his own goddamn self in the nuthouse if that's all the motherfucker had to tell me.

Mas¬turbating to break a habit? Shit, I thought that motherfucker was crazy." (Quotes from 1975 Playboy interview: http://navattack.com/post/29739826886/davis-you-cant-come-then-fight-or-play-you and book on Davis:

http://yanko.lib.ru/books/bio/miles.htm) Leo Tolstoy Legendary Novelist

"I had become what is called a voluptuary; and to be a voluptuary is a physical condition like the condition of a victim of the morphine habit, of a drunkard, and of a smoker."

"These periods of irritation depended very regularly upon the periods of love. Each of the latter was followed by one of the former. A period of intense love was followed by a long period of anger; a period of mild love induced a mild irritation. We did not understand that this love and this hatred were two opposite faces of the same animal feeling."

Saigo Takamori One of the most influential Samurai in Japanese history, known as “The Last True Samurai”

“Although Saigo would remarry twice, father five children, and keep a company of Kyoto geisha, in 1854 he prided himself on avoiding women entirely. He saw

abstinence as empowering rather than constraining…In his youth Saigo saw sex not as pleasurable dissipation or intimacy but as an impediment to happiness and loyalty.” From the book “The Last Samurai,” page 34.

Manny Pacquiao Boxer, Eight Division World Champion

Believing the old adage that sex saps strength, Pacquiao follows a strict no-[wife] policy during training. “We’ve talked to doctors about it,” [trainer Freddie] Roach says. “Sex lowers your testosterone, so you’re not as mean.” Most boxers abstain for a week or more before a bout. “I ask my guys for 10 days,” Roach says. Of course Pacquiao beats the others even when it comes to abstinence. He stays chaste for 21 days before a bout, husbanding his energies for post fight festivities.

Playboy Magazine Article. Quoted in: http://nofaplife.com/?p=1216 Kanye West Rapper

"People ask me a lot about my drive. I think it comes from, like, having a sexual addiction at a really young age," he says. "Look at the drive that people have to get sex—to dress like this and get a haircut and be in the club in the freezing cold at 3 A.M., the places they go to pick up a girl. If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic . . . "

David Haye World heavy weight boxing champion

"I don’t ejaculate for six weeks before the fight. No sex, no masturbation, no nothing. It releases too much tension. It releases a lot of minerals and nutrients that your body needs, and it releases them cheaply. Releasing weakens the knees and your legs. Find a lion that hasn’t had some food for a while, and you’ve got a dangerous cat. So there won't bet a drip from me. Even in my sleep -- if there are girls all over me in my dream, I say to them, "I’ve got a fight next week, I can’t do anything. I can’t do it.” That’s control. I’ve been doing that since I was fifteen and its part and parcel of my preparation now. That’s why Im am who I am today -- it's down to all those little sacrifices. Find me another boxer who makes that sacrifice, and you’ll find another champion."

Michelangelo Legendary Sculptor, Painter and Engineer

Michelangelo’s contemporary Ascanio Condivi, who was also his biographer, described Michelangelo as having “monk-like chastity”

(Source: Anthony Hughes, “Michelangelo,” page 326 (Phaidon: 1997) Pythagoras Philosopher and Mathematician

“According to Pythagorus (6th century BCE) sex should be practiced in the winter, but not the summer, but was harmful to male health in every season because the loss of semen was dangerous, hard to control and both physically and spiritually exhausting…” “Pythagoras himself established a small community that set a premium on study, vegetarianism, and sexual restraint or abstinence. Later philosophers believed that celibacy would be conducive to the detachment and equilibrium required by the philosopher's calling…”

Georg Hackenschmidt 20th century strongman, wrestler and philosopher

"Moderation in sexual intercourse is very important. Sexual abstemiousness should be strictly observed during the early age of manhood and development. He who observes this recommendation will soon benefit by the immense prerogatives of chastity. A few years ago a colleague of mine said to me: “Nonsense, that is only human nature.” This “clever” man, however reached only a secondary position as a strong man, and now, at the age of thirty, he is actually degenerating as an athlete."

"Do no dissipate in any form whatever. You should sleep alone, and from eight to nine hours. Get up at 5:30 and take a walk."

Farmer Burns, “Lessons in Wrestling and Physical Culture” (Source: http://nofaplife.com/?p=691)

Rickson Gracie MMA and Jiu-Jitshu Legend

"No sex. Yeah, because you know, by having sex you waste a lot of energy. I mean, the vital energy in your body goes away. I mean, it’s normal, it’s something we normally do, and it’s no problem at all, but if you want to accumulate energy, if you want to get full energy, you cannot waste...So I try to keep myself away from sex at least two weeks before the fight."

Rickson Gracie in “Choke” (Source: http://nofaplife.com/?p=691) Plato Greek Philosopher

“Plato’s dialog stresses the intellect over the physical because of the risk of slavish dependent on physical desires. In this context, Plato recommends reduced erotic engagement to better exercise and control the mind. In other words, sexual activity is only detrimental only in so far as it distracts from intellectual endeavors…Plato praises this exemplary self-control, citing famous athelete, Iccus of Tarentum, who had “possessed in is soul such art and such courage mixed with moderation that he never touched a woman—or a boy for that matter—during the entire time of his training.” Plato suggests that by consciously choosing to control sexual desires, an individual liberates the mind to better study virtue.”

Socrates Greek Philosopher

“Socrates first prescribes abstinence from sexual pleasure. A conventionalized treatment of his view on sex then follows which illustrates and amplifies the earlier summary treatment of its dangers…Xenophon [one that Socrates advices] makes the wrong move and finds that though sex may be a pleasure, it makes you a slave.

An incredible amount of wonderful threads, that sometimes required hours of inspired work to their respective authors, goes wasted in the oblivion in this sub. There should be the option to vote a thread to become permanent in the sidebar, or something like that.

It is an incredible waste of inspiring material, that could be extremely useful expecially for the starters.

I've seen a lot of threads that have been called "most inspirational material" etc., and i cringed while i was saving them in my account, knowing that the major part of the peoples here will never even have a chance to see that precious material.

What a waste.

Seriously? Some of this quotes sounds like a snake oil. I know the person who says these thing can be considered "great", but it doesn't mean that what they say are always correct (reverse ad hominem).

If u put this link on our sidebar, people will start to laugh at this community.

At first I thought that this community was like alcohol anonymous and deals only with addiction in a proper and scientific manner, but now I see this community slowly turns into cult!

No matter what kind of arguments you have, there will always be some people laughing at you, if tell them, that masturbating is not good for you. As Paulo Coelho once said: "Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear".

I say, if this post can inspire and help people to not fap, then let'em see it. Different approaches for different people. The sidebar could have this as well as some scientific posts. There's no need to make it about what kind of argument is the best one, when they all could compliment eachother.

I found this post VERY inspiring. It didn't give me any scientific arguments - what it did give me, was HOPE. Hope that this struggle I have had for some time now is actually worth it.

I want to point out that this is a community where the contributors have the common goal of stopping watching porn and masturbating in order to improve one's life in some way. I do not see how you can think that providing some inspiration in the form of anecdotes from high-accomplishing individuals who attribute part of their success to abstinence from porn and masturbation could be detrimental to the ethos of this sub. Excuse me saying this but that is rather illogical. As for the sidebar issue. They said they would like the option for members of this community to vote on posts they would like to see on the sidebar. So those who disagree on a particular post can cast their vote against such posts.

This saved me tonight. I hung out with friends last night and one buddy mentioned this porn star that really did it for him. I took the name down on my phone, even though I was 18 days into my no fap dedication. I got home from a long day at work, and watch a show on DVR, and had the urge. Instead of going to a site, I opened up /r/nofap and got these great quotes. I'm keeping my energy tonight. And I am keeping focused. 79 days sober. 19 days no fap. 5 days no massage parlor.

Thank you for doing this! I always wished someone created the list of all people.

You can probably add Friedrich Nietzsche - he is considered a founder of the theory of sexual sublimation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(psychology)

Also Napoleon Hill who wrote think and grow rich talks about this too and says that all great people conserved sexual energy such as Edison or Carnegie - I don't remember if he explicitly states so in the book.

A bit from linked Wikipedia article about Sublimation (psychology) :

In psychology, sublimation is a mature type of defense mechanism where socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are consciously transformed into socially acceptable actions or behavior, possibly resulting in a long-term conversion of the initial impulse. Sigmund Freud believed that sublimation was a sign of maturity (indeed, of civilization), allowing people to function normally in culturally acceptable ways. He defined sublimation as the process of deflecting sexual instincts into acts of higher social valuation, being "an especially conspicuous feature of cultural development; it is what makes it possible for higher psychical activities, scientific, artistic or ideological, to play such an important part in civilised life". Wade and Tavris present a similar view, stating that sublimation is when displacement "serves a higher cultural or socially useful purpose, as in the creation of art or inventions".

I used to love reading Nietzsche. Definitely would not want to be him though. I may not write Zarathustra but he seemed like a genuinely miserable person, at least usually. Who knows maybe he was just being brutally honest about his thoughts in a way some of us would rather not face, but it seemed that practically speaking from a daily mental/emotional/physical standpoint, he lived a painful existence inside his head. His body was weak and he didn't seem to really enjoy life. Maybe that's conjecture, but it makes me think that you can't necessarily philosophize yourself into happiness, thinking deeply while crouched over a book, you need to also take action with your body in the world. excuse the rambling, just wanted to say that.

Well some other philosopher said the more you know the less happy you are. Maybe it's a choice he made, happiness is not the goal of life (personal opinion) despite that media and brands sell it as such, for some people making a difference is. But you have a point, I wouldn't want to be so miserable either.

Wow. Truly inspiring. I had a hunch about this a few years ago. But this is solid reassurance.

Another instance: While watching the movie Invictus, with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman, I remember Matt Damon's character telling his wife that he wanted to be "aggressive tomorrow", when she wanted to have sex with him on the night before the big game. Why?

There is something here.

Btw, Invictus is based on the real story of about Nelson Mandela(played by Freeman) and Francois Piennar, the South-African rugby captain at the time (played by Damon), and his interactions with Mandela when Mandela became the president, and the nation needed a symbol of unity. The rugby team was that inspiration, so the captain had the burden to inspire his team and eventually the country. FYI, I aint South African. The movie was great. permalink report give gold reply

It helps you realize that the purpose of your life isn't to be successful to get women;no, it's to strive for greatness, to improve your fellow man's lives and your own life. Sex should be something that is enjoyed on the side, not

something that should run your life or greatly influence your goals. All of these "greats" are living proof that

abstaining from sex can be very very very beneficial. It's just getting that discipline down that is the hard part lol :/ permalink report give gold reply

He's not promoting celibacy. Sure, some of those quotes were from celibate people. The point is that sex is all that a lot of men seem to think about these days. It's their ultimate goal: get laid. And if they can't get that then they jerk it. But here we have a list of great men (mostly...I wouldn't include Kanye) that believed that sex/masturbation could harm their abilities to achieve greatness. They realized there was more to live for, more to reach for. And considering who these men were/are and what they've done with their lives...I'd say there's something to it. My own contribution (I have no source) : I hear once that Samurai were forbidden to masturbate because of the negative effects it had on their abilities.

[–] BifidusRegularis 9 da ys 7 po ints 14 ho urs a go

I'm sorry but, why would you, how could you not include Kanye West? I know this isn't exactly the place to discuss it but, there is absolutely no question that Kanye is one of the most successful and accomplished people on that list that is still alive today. Kanye went from a producer that nobody saw having a solo career, and became a hip hop phenomenon. He has one 21 Grammy awards, more than any other rapper or hip-hop artists. 6 of his 7 albums have spent multiple weeks as number 1 on the Billboard 200 charts. His ability to experiment with sound has started several trends in hip hop music. He's influenced several popular hip hop artists of today like Drake and KiD CuDi for example. You probably like a lot more Kanye songs than you thought you did because he's produced countless hits for artists such as Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Beyoncé, Common, Lupe Fiasco, John Legend, Nas, and more. So let me ask you again, how on Earth do you consider Kanye a great man? Because he has an ego? Because he's an "asshole"? You think Steve Jobs was a saint? You think Miles Davis wasn't an asshole at times? Most of these men are probably a lot like Kanye, Kanye is just vocal about it. I apologize for this off topic rant but, take inspiration from a man's accomplishments, not his attitude.

While their professional accomplishments can all be held in high regard, I'm not a fan of most of the people you listed.

It's an extreme example, but the principal is there. permalink parent report give gold reply

[–]nofaphmg 2 da ys [S] 1 po int 7 ho urs a go

Ha! The Hitler example is very relevant here. Hitler's sexuality has been the topic of many books and documentaries. While some consider him asexual (did not have sex with his lover Eva), some others consider that he may have been homosexual. While some have written about his deviant sexual preferences like water-play and incest (his cousin committed suicide and blamed Hitler's incest/activities). In any case, during the war ('39-'45), I believe he did in fact abstain from sexual activity. And no I do not consider him a great nofapper!

However, I don't understand how you are not a fan of "most" of the people I have listed? I recognize that you may not like Tyson or Kanye West. But how can you not like Issac Newton, Gandhi, Freud, Steve Jobs, Tolstoy, Michelangelo, Pythagoras, Tesla, the Dalai Lama?

Quick note - Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon were all sexually voracious and conquered most of the known world in their time. What did they have in common? None of them watched porn. People forget there can just be as many benefits to sex as there are to celibacy, just like there are almost as many benefits to hot showers as cold ones.
