For example, people living with anxiety, stress, fear or procrastination have problems calming down their brain, which may lead to problems with reading or writing memories.
Surprising nobody, people in a shitty state also tend to fill the void with masturbation. But if you stop masturbating it's not gonna actually fix shit.
Even setting aside defeating the root problems, that person would be much better off learning to how calm down their brain or put their anxiety at a manageable distance on demand. Self-reflection, meditation, yoga, whatever. For memory problems in particular you can do exercises like going through your day in reverse chronological order before you go to sleep. "I went to bed, before that I brushed my teeth, before that I put on my pyjamas..." It's manual revision and the awkward reverse order prevents your brain from going into autopilot.
Unless you've got a screw loose with sexuality in particular, like a past of sexual abuse, "nofap = take back control of your life" is as smoothbrain as "no video games = no school shootings". Sounds reasonable... unless you're vaguely familiar with the topic.
