I’m pretty sure everyone has heard of NoFap by now. It has taken the internet world by storm as it claims to have many benefits.
Let’s define NoFap. NoFap refers to when you completely quit Pornography, Masturbation and Orgasms. All together they are known as PMO.
So NoFap originated on Reddit, like all good things. It started off as a discussion on quitting masturbation and then a study came out showing a 145.7% increase in testosterone in those who stopped masturbation after the 7th day.
This news spread like wildfire and caused a media frenzy.
Later, NoFap became nofap.com, a website and a community where people could bond over their journey and struggles of quitting porn.
Millions of NoFap videos can currently be found on YouTube. It might be testimonies of how NoFap changed their lives or it can be animated videos explaining the science behind NoFap, no matter what you will find countless inspirational videos talking about NoFap and its benefits.
So, let’s get into it.
This Top 10 list will include any kind of content relating to NoFap, NoFap videos with the highest views and it isn’t just restricted to channels that solely produce content on NoFap.

Yes, the title is in all caps but that’s because it is IMPORTANT!
The video talks about the reward system and how dopamine is being produced at higher levels than normal while watching porn. This causes desensitization and a need for more aggressive porn.
The Coolidge Effect talks about a renewed sense of interest in mammals when they meet a new mate, this effect can be seen in humans as they continuously seek for novelty in porn.
3. Daniel Avesta: Daniel’s video doesn’t really talk about his own experience with NoFap but talks about the world-famous actor Terry Crews’ journey with it. His performance in ‘White Chicks’ is a classic.
“Terry Crews: The NoFap Legend (Inspirational)” is a video explaining Crews’ journey with addiction and the darkness that surrounded him because of his secret pornography addiction for years.
This video had to be included in this list because it was Crews’ raw and honest thoughts on his life and on NoFap
4. zorosoro: zorosoro is the next channel on the list with an amazing video on “NoFap: Avoid Relapse With These 5 Weird Tips for Results”

5. One Percent Better: This is a self-help YouTube channel to improve your everyday life.
“NoFap 90-Day Experiment ► My Success Story 2017” is a personal story of Brandon, the creator of One Percent Better and how he came across porn and his 4-year addiction that resulted in low energy, low motivation, and a low sex drive.
He tried everything from reading books to exercising to get his spark back but all failed. Until he had a talk with the creator of Improvement Pill, who introduced the concept of NoFap to Brandon.
He then proceeded with the 90-day NoFap challenge and started seeing wonderful results like a surge of energy, a positive change in his behaviour, a higher sex drive and even reduced his performance anxiety.
This is a story that’s definitely worth hearing.
