I don’t know why you’re being downvoted so heavily. I agree that five days isn’t some brutal, or even abnormal, act of chastity. It’s moreso that “nofap” has connotations beyond just breaking an unhealthy masturbation addiction, and because everyone’s healthy status quo is different, keeping track of a specific number of days since you jorked your pork isn’t a great metric of how someone’s dealing with addiction. What’s a lot more important is how you’re approaching it; are you being mindful in the moment, or are you just doing it for a quick hit?
Recovering drug addicts will treat number of days since their last hit as a metric for success, but usually, e.g. with alcohol or nicotine, there isn’t a healthy upside to it like masturbation. “Nofap” basically does treat it like something strictly detrimental, and it stigmatizes something that’s normal, ironically probably coming with some mental health implications of its own (in a similar way that religious stigma against it often does).
