I don't even know who you are really but you just became my least favorite poster.

I took my ex-gf to this on our first date. It was sooooo ridiculously funny.

No, all harmless means is that the change in behavior (quitting fapping) has no negative consequences for oneself or others. For example if our challenge was a harmFUL activity like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, or harassing at least one homeless person a day, you would then have a legitimate argument against it. Buy a dictionary ffs.

I'm not really bent out of shape. Do what you want. It just annoys me when disillusioned people attribute changes (+ or -) to something that doesn't deserve the credit or blame.
I agree those people are annoying. Even more annoying are ignorant people who assume they know everything because they took an introductory college course on a tangentially related topic.

wrt the psych question "what does intro have to do with anything," you'd learn about the placebo effect. Changing ANY aspect of your life, if you believe it to be positive, will give you perceived more energy, possibly elevated mood, maybe more confidence. It's all smoke and mirrors though and it is only short term.
So then we brave no fappers are providing a great contribution to the scientific community. If, as you claim, all benefits of no fapping are due to the placebo effect they should disappear in the long term. Therefore if we continue to benefit from no fapping indefinitely it would mean there's actually something to it and you'd probably look pretty foolish.

btw congrats on making 2 weeks, even though it is indicative of absolutely nothing.
It indicates that I was able to go two weeks without fapping and I'm pretty proud of that

I'd argue that a group of people permanently adopting the mindset that "fapping = unhealthy" is, in itself, unhealthy and potentially (though unlikely) traumatic long-term.

You seem kinda on edge.

You know what would fix that?

17 days.

Having a little trouble with randomly viewing pictures on FB. Thought about deleting my account but just going to delete it from my favourites.

What does looking at FB pictures have to do with masturbating?

Witch means its time.

Not saying its easy doing it the right way, but moderation is obviously the key, not quitting. If FB makes you horny, you dont need porn anymore. If FB doesnt make you horny, you dont need to fap.

Basically if you're biewing porn everyday then switch to half-naked girls on FB i don't believe that is a significant change.

My view is that it is harmful to view pictures online of girls but its more of something that MAY work + its a definite waste of time

I'd just delete FB if you can't control yourself when some girls post pictures of themselves in dresses or something. That's just bizarre. I'd also seek professional help.
