Me personally I feel all the benefits in pic related when I stop jerking off and my fitness and my health benefit inmensely thats why I post this here, because here we talk about fitness and healthy living and things that affect those.
I'm on 36 days of semen retention. My social anxiety is almost completely gone. Nothing else significant has happened so it must be that
If semen retention works, wouldn't vasectomy turn men into gods?
It is almost as if semen isn’t reabsorbed, simply broken down after death and sent to the kidneys as a waste product to be urinated out of the body.
because the reabsorption of nutrients doesnt give you the powers. Its the fact that youre not dousing yourself in prolactin every day.
>Gives you the powers
This one time I was setting in the lunch room before the other guys got there and the cheer leaders were already setting down on the other side and the lead cheerleader stopped and sniffed the air. She instantly stood to her feet instinctively trying to find the source of the pheromones. Then she saw me. Her panties filled with grool at the sight if my 5’5” 275 pound frame. Nothing could hold back the torrent of thick veganal lubricant and it engulfed her feet. She tried to run to me but instead the grool made her slip and slide across the floor and she fell into my arms. She instinctively kissed me deeply while fumbling with my gunt and zipper. Finally she found her prize, my hard 3 incher peaked just outside of my fat pad. She didn’t bother getting undressed, simply peeled her sticky and sodden panties to the side and plopped down with all her might. We both came instantly. She kissed me again deeply and went back to her table, now with both our fluids running down her leg. Her friends stared in jealousy and anger that the 20 minutes it would take for me to reload would be well beyond the lunch bell. No, they would have to wait for the thunder after class.
The first thing important to fitness is doing the exercise/training for what you want(running for conditioning, agility for sports, lifting to train aesthetic/bodybuilding/powershitting). The second most important thing to fitness is having money to support a good diet, access to good tools, and training aids (classes, non-thot youtube videos, actual personal trainer if you are completely new or actual high end athlete).
Third most important is to have a partner, especially if you can’t afford a pt. You need someone to push you and help you do heavier lifts. You train alone, you will hit a death plateau lifting the same baby weight for all eternity. Even a .5 on both ends will be too much to overcome on your own.
No fap is placebo and superstition.
>muh boxers/mma before fights
Are stupid from one too many hits to the head but are already a superstitious bunch with other pointless rituals that add nothing to their training but do it anyway because the sprit guide told them. When in doubt KISS, keep it simple stupid for your training. You want to do it for religious reasons or because you want an unearned reason to feel superior to others, that’s on you. Either of those reasons are not IST related, thus requiring to take it to some other board. Maybe the advice board or LULZ with other incels. The best would be to leave IST entirely and go to one of the many other websites/forums run by Christians and Mormons who think your penis is paramount to salvation. A place full of symbolisms for the symbol minded.
I have all three, and semen retention still has an insanely positive impact on my life. Cope more coomers
Placebo effect does that. The mind overwrites certain things and then you also make subtle behavioral changes and then attribute it to a macguffin. Sugar pills, no fap, as long as someone tells you the effect it will work, your gullible mind makes it work. And then once you are told it is fake, your mind feels sheepish and stops guiding the small changes to habit. No more, no less.
So if I tell you that there is a pill that makes super confident and you take you will become chad? Or if you have cancer and I tell you I have the cure and you take it, will you be cured? Explain this placebo stuff in detail please.
Btw you are wrong and a coomer and you wont answer my point
Yes, it happens in every single clinical trial. There is a subset of the population that believe so deeply what the man or woman in the lab coat says they respond accordingly to a sugar pill. This happens with negative side effects too. It is so well documented that there are times doctors give patients sugar pills under some other name and tells then it will help. And son of a b***h, a subset get better off a sugar pill. You should know this already, they teach it in high school biology and hit with you again in college biology, psychology, anatomy and physiology, every major life science talks about the placebo effect. If you didn’t cheat your way to graduation you’d know this. More likely, you do know this and you are arguing in bad faith.

please work!
I need to grow up and grab pussy!
work! work! work!
no fap = cap
you get ED from it if you do it for long enough and your penis will unironically shrink. I jerk off regularly and I jerked off the morning before I got my blood tests done and my testosterone still came out at 778 ng/dl.
After I stop jerking off, I tend to feel more motivated to go to the gym to the point I’ll get actually really bothered/angry if I can’t go, peaking about the sixth or seventh day, then after that the motivation tends to wane back down.
On the other hand, if I jerk off everyday, I tend to get more depressed.
So now I jerk off only once every week and a half. I’ve found that if I do that, then I am able to avoid the post-nut depression, while also maintaining that sense of constant growing motivation/being bothered.
I have a room big enough for my squat rack and bench. Plus my computer. I usually edge between sets, it's like a preworkout and I'm not wasting anytime because I'm jerking off in between. The only thing that gets in the way is starting barbell rows with a hardon...
I edge right before I go to the gym to get a similar effect.
I'm on day one o nofap no alcohol. I'm shaking
another fapping = porn strawman thread. Oh joy
>Men who are sexually active in their 20s and 30s are more likely to develop prostate cancer
massive incel W!
OP is trying to give you ED
So nocoomers are winning still?
>Even if placebo we have convinced ourselves that retaining brings us special powers which manifest in our subconscious minds
>If not placebo then we are spiritually saving ourselves from porn and lust
Why keep cooming? Only time should be with a girl imo, there is a noticeable difference in my energy between cooming via sex and by masturbation for me.
Because only you and small subset are moronic enough for it to “work” and as evidence mounts the effect goes away. If you honestly believe your little cult, the last thing you would want is it open to scientific scrutiny, even from an image board. Why do you think religious belief is sinking across the globe? Because people are heathens? Or because the 4 horsemen of atheism killed your remaining “gods” and nihilistic hedonism filled the void of the oldest placebo known to man?
>watch a strip tease video pre-workout
>go to the gym with a boner
>workout quality increases noticeably
>no ejaculation though
Not sure if this is good but at least I lift more weight.
everytime i do nofap it goes like this
>hit week 3
>uncontrollably horny
>download some hookup app
>meet random person i never would ever hook up with in a right state of mind
>either come to my senses and go home and jerk off or have regrettable encounter
This is why I have to deal with irreversibly having fricked men lmao
Everything from skin quality to brightness of eye color, not color shifting don't be moronic, enhances if you don't blow loads regularly. Masturbation is something to grow out of, not something to make into a habit. Even the coomers will know that withholding a load increases the volume of a nut. Your body signals this to potential mates, and you look visibly healthier to women who want to frick, because they want that load. Even if you have a partner, they want to frick irregularly, when you've had time to build a potent load.
We're still just apes.
>thread is about masturbation
>studies are about abstinence
so I should stop having sex to get any of these benefits?
