ITT we discuss the effects of sexual abstinence on fitness
looking at existing literature there is strong evidence that sexual abstinence induces a significant increase in male sex hormone, but reliable research is few and between because they can't reliably control and monitor the behaviour of test participants. in other words the only way you can really know is to test it for yourself, but none of you soda brain coomers have actually gone to 3+ weeks on nofap

the Nofap and celibacy people are dumb as frick
keep on fappin, fogbrain
"brainfig" is what MLM promoters use to sell their products to gullible idiots
don't touch your penis for a week and you'll know what i'm on about unless you're actually low t. plus nobody profits from it so you know it's good lmao
have done it before. for several weeks, no difference, cause im not a borderline testosterone deficient male, with imaginary issues
>no difference
your body is literally unable to make enough test to make a difference. feels bad man
my body makes enough so it wont make a difference. my sex drive is through the roof.
just cause you fap every night doesn't mean you have high test. it means you're addicted
>masturbation ruins gains
Post body.
Uhhhooo huspant... Why you no save monry to buy home...

Lmao, keep jerking off you cuckold homosexual
Avoiding porn and sex before marriage is the number one proven way to improve marital happiness and success.
>muh test increase
top jej
Didn't increase serum test levels, so you might as well take placebo pills and make yourself believe they raise test, you'll have the same result.
>getting married in 2022+
Oof.
99% of you are actual incels with mental health problems, who deluded themselves into thinking not touching your dick is some type of treatment.
>jacking off kills my soul and affects everyone around me
So you're just a garbage human being and only act like a good boy when you lack the clarity of mind that comes from rubbing one out.
Sounds like a (You) problem.
Thats fine if you are married.
This. Nofap cultists are moronic and cant into physiology and hormones lmao. Nofap is literally a reddit meme.
NoNutNovember and then indulging in BLACKED porn is a reddit meme. Abstaining from masturbation and quitting porn once and for all are legit practices.
Nofap does nothing. Nothing.
>done by incels, polchuds, redditors and religious nuts
>""""legit practices""""
I guess shitting in the street is a legit practice too.
Anecdotally, people who nofap for years are not high test. They are mostly Christians, and there is something status-lowering about the practice. By framing absolute, longterm nofap as a self-improvement behavior (or a godly behavior) they are giving themselves a years-long or decades-long identity of a person who is still struggling with a seemingly simple problem.
Can somehow attest to this.
Got epic ego boost from going 3 years without ejaculating outside of wet dreams, except have been feeling like something is off for most of the time of doing this and I can no longer fap everyday like I used to do now it is barely weekly and if I do more I feel too weak.
There are benefits IMO but there are cons to this practice definitely.
that is a very interesting take on it that i never heard before. Thanks for sharing
The only reason I'd want to nofap is to increase the "idgaf" attitude. How long do you have to abstain for that? What would be a good masturbation frequency?
just manually stop caring, much easier.
>How long do you have to abstain for that?
It depends on your current mindset. Are you ashamed of your current masturbation habits? If so, proving you're not a slave to dopamine is a win, and will increase your confidence. If it's not something you really care about, then it won't.
Personally, I was addicted to porn (5+ times per day) and found myself getting into more and more shameful stuff. Quitting has made me happier, but it didn't magically turn me into a chad at X weeks like Reddit infographics would have you believe.
>What would be a good masturbation frequency?
If it's shameful and you want to quit, then quit. Don't turn porn into a reward that you crave all week, only to then feel ashamed right after doing it.
As for masturbation without porn, I can't really advise since my goal is specifically to quit porn. But I've found myself wanting to jerk off a lot less without access to porn.
Every 3-4 days release
Masturbation is so harmful that ancient people started mutilating their sons to prevent them from jerking off.
>10 people 3 weeks
Nothing significant, could be just regular hormone fluctuations
The paper's author suggests that the increase in testosterone prior to the second orgasm session was most likely due to anticipation of continued sexual activity not the result of abstinence
Sexual abstinence increases your test in order to make you horny so that you feel the need to reproduce.
Same as when you fast and you release adrenaline in order to be pumped and awake so that you have energy and focus to hunt and find food to not die.
These are bursts of energy. They probably won't have long lasting effects. It might even give a turnaround with test, when your body realizes that increased test does not lead to sexual intercourse. There could be a tipping point where too long without sex might shut your test building capacity off since it is an energy consuming activity/process. The best you can get from all that is possibly cycles of test boost, but not a forever lasting increased test level
All you need to know is boxers stop having sex or jerking off a month before a big fight
no they fricking don't.
Lots of athletes do this (the time leading up to an event varies) but it’s pretty well known…
or, y'know, just use steroids.
seriously you fricking morons if you want to raise your T levels then just... raise them. injections of testosterone are exactly identical to the testosterone you produce naturally; they'll cause no more side effects than what you otherwise would have gotten (except for HPTA shutdown).
>but none of you soda brain coomers have actually gone to 3+ weeks on nofap
I did nofap november, and frankly I didn't notice any physical difference aside from being more horny, no increased energy, agressivity etc.
I will try it again this year with a before/after bloodwork comparison because it didn't feel like my test changed significantly.
Unironically there is a point three weeks in where I feel supercharged. That's the only word I can use to describe the feeling. Really I'm just functioning the way a healthy young adult male should. Nofap doesn't make you superhuman, but fapping does make you subhuman.
I relapsed last night after over a month. Dunno if I can do another long run. Should I resort to a no hands fap like humping and fleshlight?
>should I engage in degenerate behavior?
No
On about 5 weeks now.
>see a different kind beauty in girls
>no longer seek quick nut/hookup but a healthy relationship instead
>horny in a good kind of way (ambitious)
>have made an effort to improve my physical appearance (styling hair, shaping beard, etc)
>improving my lifestyle to be more attractive
>talking to girls is 100x easier, literally comes naturally at this point
Nofap is great but it all depends on the mindset you have going into it with. For me, I just want some pussy and told myself I won’t nut in anything but my gf. So in turn I’m improving all areas in my life so I can attract a hot girlfriend. People will still seethe but personally this shit works and that’s all I care about. Just make it a goal to find your gf/future wife and only nut in her
I quadrupled my test levels and am cumming more frequently than ever. If you actually cared about test levels you would do things to increase test levels instead of not doing things in hopes of an increase that wouldn't be statistically significant.
Nope. You just want to join a penis cult and talk about penises with other penis cult members. Have fun obsessing over penises I guess. I'll be over here having a life.
>I quadrupled my test levels and am cumming more frequently than ever.
I don't think nofap makes a difference for test personally, although jerking off rarely and less frequently may have an effect on how you interact with the world.
And how easily do you think men can increase test anyway? Good sleep and consistent weight training seem like the most evidence supported behaviors, but I don't feel like a fricking bull or anything. The tricky thing seems to be that test is a social hormone. The more you exert dominance or compete, and the more you feel you aren't a cog in a machine, the more your test is supposed to respond. If it was an easy system to fool you could just watch lots of sports and porn, or play some dumb online video game, all of which obviously doesn't work. I'd be curious what you did.
It better not be some meme supplements that every influencer has their own branded version of.
Basically I draw up test and then put it in my body. It's unsurprisingly effective.
You might be on to something with the social stuff but at some point your body can't keep up. Only option from there is choosing to get old or trt.
>Basically I draw up test and then put it in my body. It's unsurprisingly effective.
Ok, so you're using illegal substances and harming your health to feel horny? into the trash with you
Nothing even close to that. Where did you get such a moronic idea from?
What does
>Draw up test
mean?
Here's what i do:
Lift, sleep, eat a test boosting diet, get lots of sun, take zinc/magnesium, play sports, flirt with girls often at my job. My test feels like it's through the roof and my voice is much lower. I feel like a feral ape ready to frick everything. I jerk off whenever I want to (once every day or so)
>I quadrupled my test levels
What a lying homosexual.
500mg testosterone blast puts you at 4-6x natty levels.
You didnt not get the equivalent of a steroid cycle from not playing with your dick for a month.
homosexual
Low 200s to 1,000 something. It works as long as you aren't stupid. Might not be any hope for you.
Only you never went from 200 to 1000 by not touching yourself at night or any other natty "test boost" meme.
my natural levels were decent, around 525ngl. a lot of people on nofap think test is the main problem when its really something else
hubermanlab episode on nofap when?
it'll never not be funny to me that an entire generation of young men were meme'd into abstaining from jacking off from internet jokes.
more like an entire generation of young men were memed into thinking that having 24/ access to porn and to see more breasts and pussies and depravity in a day than their ancestors did in a year will not absolutely fry their brain reward wiring
i don't doubt that unbridled access to pornography is a net bad for a developing person, but the scorched earth mentality toward sexuality that these freaks take on is hilarious to me. maybe i'm built different, i don't have an addictive personality, so i can't imagine jacking off ruining my life
>"I'm built different"
Get the frick our of here, zoomer.
>It´ll never be funny how an entire generation of young men were meme´d into thinking israelites rule the world
Anon... are these israelites, in the room with you right now?
I've been on nofap for almost 6 months now. Not because I want benefits, but for religious reasons. There are some tiny benefits, but nothing really noticeable. I'm just glad I'm not a coomer anymore.
Someone post the "you were not built to jerk off" meme
say no more, brother
Does the addition of dietary lecithin counter this in any way?
I’m on day 41, things have been sweet ever since.
nofap makes you irritable, aggressive and obsessed with masturbation
someone who thinks masturbation is ok will do it less and will never think about it when they're not doing it.
The increase in testosterone happens on the 7th day. If you continue nofap, it returns to baseline and never increases again. So what you highlighted is true, but 3 weeks of abstinence isn't required.
If you do masterbate after the 7-8th day however, you reset the cycle and can once more experience a spike on the 7th day.
The main benefits come from the androgen receptors upregulating, the estrogen receptors downregulating and prolactin not spiking up constantly for weeks after ejaculation. Semen retention is 100% legit, but most men nowadays don't even have the willpower to stop for a few days anyway.
false
Serious question, do not nofappers believe there is a physiological difference between someone who faps daily and someone who fycks their wife daily? Or would having daily sex have the same perceived physiological downsides as masturbation?
The dishonest ones say there's a difference. Apparently most nofaps pretend that semen retention works only as long as they're an incel. The second not fapping/cumming becomes a challenge they drop it and try to act like they were never a part of the creepy penis obsession cult.
i simply do not understand how people can regularly jack off and watch porn as adults, i feel like such a fricking loser when i do it and the shame i feel is strong. im not a moralgay either, i love fricking girls but there is something about porn and jacking off that kills my soul and that begins to affect my relationships with girls, my motivation at work, my treatment of my family, etc.
there's something deeply corrupt about it and your monkey brain knows, dont do it bros, go out and get real girls, and if you can't get the girls you think you want want to do the things you think you want, maybe that says something about the desires you've built up over the years that just don't jive with reality. the real world is real interaction with real girls, not indulging in absurd fantasies in front of a screen
Counterpoint: having been married and divorced twice, having plowed through easily 40 women between ages 16 and 36, I would just rather crank on my dong and not have to fricking put up with women and their mouths and fricking bullshit. Everything about women is a fricking pain in the ass.
I think nofap has been pretty good for me, I stopped and about 2 weeks in a felt a sudden urge to start playing guitar again and I started to want to go hiking. I can't explain it honestly, I just feel happier.
I posted in a thread a while back about my theory that your brain now finds activities that release less dopamine more tolerable, since you aren't jacking off and increasing the bodys standard level.
Also I fricking love not looking at fricking fetish shit. Cooming is a rabbit hole where you just get into weirder fricking shit and you just gotta get out.
I agree with this completely.
Try it for 4 weeks. First week is worst but keep at it and free yourself.
The idea is that masterbation produces dopamine to a point where hobbies relatively seem less fun. Also, people who are able to control their bodies sexual urges have no self control? Huh?
>muh dopamine
Get a life.
I doubt there is any effect. I'm quite certain being in good physical shape and having an orgasm aren't related. What i'm curious about is how that correlation even got started. What's the logic?
If I've been a coomer for 2 decades, will it fix my ED when I'm with a real girl? I went to a club one time and a cute shortstack latina was grinding on my dick but she noticed I wasn't getting hard and left. I also haven't gotten hard with a real pussy in my face. Before I was a coomer (middle school) I got a blowjob and was able to stay hard in her mouth even when she didn't move, I can't imagine doing that now.
Your psyche has a huge role to play in your physical reaction to things but at the end of the day a healthy adult body will react to sexual stimuli. I'd bet it has less to do with your mental and more your physical situation.
Examine your diet and see if there is anything you aren't getting enough of. Zinc is a good place to start, just do some basic research first.
I eat salmon, broccoli, and brown rice once a day as a meal and I run 5k everyday (picture related) after lifting. I also make sure to sleep well and I take multivitamins. I really think its because I'm a brainless coomer, but I'll read up on zinc.

so do you people lift or do just come here to project your deep self-loathing at non masturbators?
>ignore your gf/wife for masturbation
no, that's not normal. do their wives and gf know they are jerking off?
it's completely normal, men almost always have a higher libido than women and sometimes you just want a wank. i can't tell if i'm talking to teenagers or really grown men that are this fricking naive about sex and the world
>it's completely normal, men almost always have a higher libido than women and sometimes you just want a wank.
an occasional wank with your wife is not available...sure. frequently putting them to the wayside to jack off is not healthy. I'd like to see how often jerking off men get divorced.
and no, you're talking to a grown man you stupid dipshit.
>frequently putting them to the wayside to jack off is not healthy
definite frequently to you because nowhere did i suggest anything that would fall under that in my interpretation
again, jerking off because you really have to get off and your wife is not available, sure. but I don't know of any healthy relationship where the wife is aware that her guy is actively jerking off to pornography. that is not a sign of a good relationship.
and if it was something good and normal, there would be no problem and the wife would be OK with it right? well, that's not how they see it lol

I;m always wondering how people like you exist.
You lived for 30 fricking years, and you sound like a robotic boomer that only knows how to work and take a shit.
How the FRICK do you go through 30 years of your life without enough experiences and interests that you can't hold a conversation with another human being?
it is ironic they blame the one sexual outlet and source of pleasure they have for there problems. really though jerking off multiple times a day every day isn't good and probably not even once *every* day but nofap is just astrology tier shit for incels. every guy i know that fricks regularly, every guy i know that has a girlfriend, and every guy i know that's married, all jack off. it's what any healthy male does. idk why you gotta go from one extreme to another, just be normal lmao
>it's what any healthy male does
sad that this is the consensus. only monkeys in a cage jerk off
every man going back to prehistory has you illiterate homosexual. get out more and meet some actual men and women and you might not cry every time you touch yourself
>every man going back to prehistory has you illiterate homosexual.
without pornography? no. wide spread pornography is as new as entire generations of men just deciding to jerk off. there's a reason why boys were married off in their teenage years for a majority of human history.
>new as entire generations of men just deciding to jerk off
you are an actual moron lmao read a book
name some
has porn destroyed your mind so much you cant jerk off without it? is this normal? ive never heard of anyone who absolutely needed porn to cum?
Basically one of the reasons nofap/noporn/etc.. exists
Not everyone has the same case, basically people don't get the same treatment that schizos get compared to clinically declared morons
>he can't even imagine masturbation without porn
ebin :DD
>has the libido of a woman
just as expected
porn is no good for you, jacking off 5 times a day is no good for you.
But these delusional morons who actually jack off once a week on a schedule because they think the minuscule test boost that lasts and has no clinical significance will turn them into Captain America if they just do it long enough.
*that lasts a few hours
The only reason to do it is to get horny so you're more likely to flirt with people and do more adventurous shit. Freud said that all energy was libido--sexual energy. He was wrong but getting horny is a big motivator. And it makes me feel a little more outgoing.
The test boost is a joke. I say this as a fraudster who spaces his faps out to like once a week.
>looking at existing literature there is strong evidence that sexual abstinence induces a significant increase in male sex hormone,
The study shows that at 10 minutes both the abstainers and the non abstainers had the same testosterone.
>but reliable research is few and between because they can't reliably control and monitor the behaviour of test participants.
I have a study of guys who were doing involuntary semen retention hard mode (they had severe erectile dysfunction), and they all had low testosterone.
Then when the doctors fixed their dicks with various methods so that they could start cooming again, their test levels basically doubled.
The conclusion is that if you go for a long time without cooming, your body will lower your test levels as high test is not needed anymore. That's why monks practice semen retention, so that they can kill the sex drive and therefore attachments, it will happen the longer you practice it. The sex hormones drop as your body senses that you don't need to reproduce anymore.
>I have a study of guys who were doing involuntary semen retention hard mode (they had severe erectile dysfunction), and they all had low testosterone.
Here...
Long term semen retention is bad news for test levels. Do it at your own peril.
And there's one liar on here telling us he quadrupled his test level by not touching his dick
yeah sure this study is relevant, if you can't have sex because of ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION lmfao
>yeah sure this study is relevant, if you can't have sex because of ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION lmfao
Lack of cooming over the long term causes lowered T.
Semen retention over the long term causes low T.
The flatline is low T.
im just looking at the paper you posted, the title says "Lack of sexual activity FROM erectile dysfunction is associated with a reversible reduction in serum testosterone." Which makes sense IF your dick doesn't work THEN not being able to have sex doesn't help. The prior condition in this case is that the subject is already impotent. Your study is useless when talking about healthy, virile men like me
>im just looking at the paper you posted, the title says "Lack of sexual activity FROM erectile dysfunction is associated with a reversible reduction in serum testosterone."
The erectile dysfunction causes these men to have to retain their semen. If they didn't have erectile dysfunction and chose to retain semen, then over the long term their testosterone levels would downregulate in the same way it does for men with erectile dysfunction.
>Which makes sense IF your dick doesn't work THEN not being able to have sex doesn't help.
It's the lack of sex/orgasm that is causing the low T, the erectile dysfunction is a red herring. It's simply a way to simulate semen retention in the wild.
>The prior condition in this case is that the subject is already impotent.
The prior condition is semen retention. Testosterone is normalized once they are able to release semen on a regular basis again.
>Your study is useless when talking about healthy, virile men like me
No, you will also exhibit a lowering of testosterone if you do semen retention for a prolonged period of time with no sexual outlet.
Flatline is low testosterone.
Did you know that prolactin sensitizes the testosterone producing cells in the testes (leydig cells) to luteinizing hormone. Keeping prolactin low for a prolonged period of time (semen retention) will reduce the responsiveness of the leydig cells to pituitary signalling resulting in lowered testosterone.
Many men who do semen retention end up having less morning wood after months for example, but after cooming their morning wood comes back with a vengeance as the increased prolactin causes the leydig cells to ramp up production of testosterone with the same LH input signal, stimulating prolonged hard nocturnal penile tumescence much greater than in the preceding semen retention period. This is the power of the orgasm induced testosterone rise after being in a semen retention state for a prolonged period whether by choice or by force (ED)
it's easier to overdo the prolactin response than never cum again. so it's better to promote no fap and have people try and fail for 2 or 3 weeks at a time before retrying. it's healthier to be generally celibate than a regular masturbator
I like once a week, just to keep everything in working order
i had a wet dream after 6 weeks a couple months back, i feel that if the body needs to keep itself in working order (and is healthy) it will take care of itself
and masturbation is entirely unnecessary
Some people don't have wet dreams, especially as one gets older. In this case, manual cooming every once in a while is recommended to keep hormones upregulated.
Wet dreams are a sign of high testosterone. I never had wet dreams growing up, only after going off porn and fapping for a while did they start occuring
Immediately you feel the mess and have to clean it so that's annoying. But you know your body and brain are in working order and you feel like a well-oiled machine. And yeah lmfao it ends a streak but it's the best way to do it outside of having sex
>Wet dreams are a sign of high testosterone
Lol, you're gonna be fricking astonished when you get bloodwork done and it comes back in the 300 - 500ng/dl range.
>i had a wet dream after 6 weeks a couple months back,
How did you feel after, rejuvenated?
Or did you feel nofap imposed shame for "failing". I've read lot's of guys getting mad at having wet dreams because it ruined their "streak".
A common issue that occurs in men recovering from pornography and masturbation addiction is inhibition of wet dreams. This may be particularly true in young men or single adult men who jerk offd for a long period of time or starting jerking off at an early age. In these men, the reproductive system has relied on physical stimulation in order to empty the reproductive glands of excess sexual fluid.
Men who were involved in frequent masturbation trained their bodies to increase fluid production in the sexual glands in order to have sufficient semen for each ejaculation. If the addiction has gone on for longer periods of time, especially years, then the reproductive glands have often been well trained to be overproducers of fluid. This is especially true if frequent masturbation began in the early teens. As men try to quit (oftentimes “cold turkey”) the prostate and seminal vesicles continue their high rate of fluid production, but ejaculation does not occur to empty the glands once they’re full. In normal circumstances, the body would correct this congestion by having a wet dream. However, since these men have ejaculated primary by watching pornography (high mental stimulation) and prolonged masturbation (high physical stimulation), the stimulation needed to cause ejaculation often exceeded what nature can duplicate during sleep. This can lead to a man feeling very sexually congested, wanting to ejaculate. Since the desire to ejaculate is often tied to the desire to view porn, this often serves as a near constant trigger than can lead to relapses of their addiction.
It can often take weeks to months for the male body to once again start having neurological wet dreams during sleep. This varies from one individual to the next. We conducted a survey that asked men who had overcome masturbation, how long it took after they stopped jerking off for wet dreams to start reoccurring. The results are as follows:
Fortunately, in many cases (29% of teens and 44% of adults) the male body typically does a pretty amazing job of bouncing back within 1-3 weeks by having wet dreams to relieve these glands when they become sufficiently engorged. In addition, 16-17% of men continue to have wet dreams even when they are jerking off. However, for other 44% of teens and 31% of adults the body doesn’t bounce back as quickly and wet dreams can take a month or more to bounce back. These weeks and months can involve a significant amount of physical temptation and stimulation due to the congestion in the glands. Repeated slips, often triggered by congestion, can inhibit the body’s ability to have wet dreams regularly. However, by three months, 97% of men and young men will have resumed having wet dreams. Perhaps the reason that men tend to leap ahead in their recovery at three weeks and three months has much to do with resumption of wet dreams and normalizing reproductive functions
>Perhaps the reason that men tend to leap ahead in their recovery at three weeks and three months has much to do with resumption of wet dreams and normalizing reproductive functions
I think so as well. Also, i appreciate the informative posts
i actually feel horny af the morning after a wet dream, like my body didn't expel enough.
>Wet dreams are a sign of high testosterone.
nice. i'm in my 30's and having wet dreams like every fortnight, more than i ever had.
You mean you like doing it once a week to relieve withdrawal symptoms.
/fit/cels on suicide watch
>(they had severe erectile dysfunction), and they all had low testosterone.
what is reverse causation
The low testosterone was caused by lack of cooming. Once the doctors fixed their dick and they could finally end their semen retention and let loose the coom, their test skyrocketed.
Use it or lose it.
but is there such a thing as overuse? What that study found is there is such a thing as under use which comes with negative effects.
>but is there such a thing as overuse? What that study found is there is such a thing as under use which comes with negative effects.
In animals, scientists do have a term called "sexual exhaustion" that describes a temporarily altered state (but still relatively long lasting) that sometimes occurs (not always) after the animal is allowed to copulate as much as he wants. Sexually exhausted males are unresponsive to sex/sexual opportunities, they have other "negative" physical changes, and they are more sensitive to drugs.
Humans also have the dual problem that daily habits that occupy too much time per day (without bringing a tangible benefit) invariably start interfering with human thriving in your other areas of your life. If you have a carefree lifestyle and if you make room by sacrificing other parts of your free time then you can jack it to porn for a large portion of the day with fewer effects, but it's still generally not a good idea.
when you realize flatline and low T symptoms are the same.
Many guys who do semen retention complain that the flatline keeps coming back or they cant get out of flatline.
Indeed. These are the same morons that say fapping keeps the prostate cancer away.
Why? Because studies show that prostate cancer patients fap much less.
Fricking morons, they fap less because their prostate is giving them trouble.
Doesn't mean that fapping less leads to prostate cancer and fapping more keeps it away.
It's all in your head, but it works for me even though I realize this

How do I do nofap without losing sleep and feeling awful? If I go longer than a week it's a net detriment to me.
No fap is a spiritual excersie.
Fauthlets won't understand
Anotherwords no fap is a sci op, and jacking off like a sex crazed freak is also a sci op.
jacking off a normal and healthy amount will obviously cause you to achieve a state of enlightenment. my testosterone has quintupled
a month after i started jerking off twice a week.
Nofappers are the bottom of the barrel men. Men with healthy test levels and a good social life are able to go to work, talk to women, have sex and also have a wank as a part of the day without thinking about it. If you can't get it up for a real woman with missionary sex because you need to be shat on from watching so much degenerate porn then that is a personal problem. If you are touching your wiener so many times a day that it stops you from being productive then that is another seperate problem. The fricking gall of 'men' in these threads to dare suggest a man who has a wank every now and again is an addict is unbelievable projection. Keep parading the same horseshit study about the test boost though.

Less about nofap but noporn definitely made a huge difference for me.
>less likely to get horny from random thots online
>morning wood returned
>desire to jack off to degenerate shit decreased dramatically
Brainfog for me only got better after dopamine fasting, so not just nofap/noporn but also no electronic entertainment etc. Still a bit unsure about doing nofap for prolonged periods because even just 7+ days makes it feel weird when I finally bust.

I get more confident when on nofap, but I recently managed to sleep with a qt and came in less than 30 seconds. Don't know how to manage these contradicting issues
men are actually designed on purpose to nut fast so dont worry about it
Cope.
You're just shit at sex and your babydick shoots too quick.
Whenever someone writes "cope" at something its a young dumb immature zoomer that is lacking in understanding of the world. But he is in a developmental state where saying "the hard truth" is commendable to his peers. Thus he will take every opportunity to call someone out for trying to sugar coat something that is uncomfortable or not pretty to talk to talk about and he feels like good about him self for not being a pussy and just "saying it how it is."
This is peak zoomer internet culture at the moment. But every time a zoomer don't know anything he calls COPE on it and he stops thinking about the subject. He chooses to try and be cool and edgy in the moment, over trying acquiring new information and broadening his horizons. This results in the zoomer being eternally stupid and never developing because when he encounters something he don't know ye yells COPE and then he stops thinking about it. The cope meme will result in zoomers despite being the most online generation yet with all humanities knowledge at hand will be the stupidest.

daptation can also explain the relative speed with which males achieve their bliss. Since the limiting factor in male reproductive success is usually the availability of receptive females, when said females make themselves available, a guy who can work fast has a distinct advantage over the slow male. He begets more kids, for one, and he is also less likely to fall prey to enemies that might attack while a couple is flagrante delicto. Furthermore, the less time it takes to philander, the more time there is to eat--another essential component of survival.
Nobody with an iq over 80 says "cope" online.
The whole point of the "ad hominem" fallacy is that you're attacking the individual rather than the argument, that goes out the window when they say "cope" and they don't even understand how it's a fallacy.
The morons that use this word that way are like a parody of moronation in arguments. Brain dead.

Lowest IQ threads on all of IST. Go back
I do not understand the thought process masturbation abstinance.
If its getting to be a problem and it consumes your thoughts sure, you might wanna ease up and get a hobby.
I have many things to occupy my time, work and hobbies, i'm also in a non-monogamous coupling with a few people, so sex if still pretty regular maybe 1-3x a week.
I jerk off about twice every day but at least once, and always have.
It's not something that's ever hindered any aspect of my life, and in fact, abstaining has only caused me problems with things like fluid build-up in the testes, which is fricking painful.
If you're experiencing metal fogginess nothing sorts me out better than a quick tug. Then i'm ready to go.
Abstainers are the mirror of coomers. Neither have true self-control
> no coom for 10 days
> erections get bigger
> measure wiener
> 7x6.7
I'm sure the cardio helped but bros this looks intimidating even to me. Like a meat cannon
Uhhh...
Just have sex and don't watch porn?
Just. Have. Sex.
I literally don't understand how porn and jerking off can ruin people's days or lives. If anything is going to ruin your life, its IST
>If anything is going to ruin your life, its IST
how so?
If you feel better after jerking off by all means do it
but keep it to yourself. honestly
Idk about porn but masturbation increases gains. Testosterone and other hormones released after tells the body you're an alpha and you naturally begin to act like it over time(assuming you are not defective). There are no great men who abstained from sex. Just a gaggle of nerds and monks that wasted their lives writing down a bunch of words.
>There are no great men who abstained from sex
>Tesla
>Da vinci
>Mike Tyson
shut the frick up, israelite
Mike Tyson had multiple wives and the other two you named are not great men. Just nerds or monks who wasted their lives writing down words. I am sick of your israeli lies leading men astray and weakening society. Just fricking have a nice day already.
He rose to greatness on winning streaks powered by celibacy
No great man becomes great also jerk offs
He was snorting coke and having gangbangs with hookers before his fights lmao, what the frick are you on about. He's just a Black person after all.
>t. moronic 16 year old speaking out of his ass
He said that in several interviews. He would get fricked up and have wild sex to get his stress out.
It's only now that he's acting like he's some sort of humble moronic pilgrim lmao.
nothing but cope and conspiracy theories, yawn
Not him but don't be ridiculous. Tyson Fury said he would jerk off 7 times a day before a big fight. Masturbation frequency does NOT appreciably affect testosterone levels and especially not over the long-term.
>tyson fury
Your brain doesn't work, moron. You better cancel your porn subscriptions because it's clearly ruined your ability to follow a thread
Of course I'm following the thread. You mentioned Mike Tyson, I mentioned Tyson Fury. You good man? Your lack of masturbation appears to be getting to your brain.
You got mixed up about the subject of our conversation and are coping about it
Fury is irrelevant, and he will never reach the heights of Mike Tyson
Lmao, nice backpedalling
Uh, enjoy your cooming then? Freak
reddit nofap oddballs ARE the creeps, lmao
and not the fap addicts of course
Alright. You're messed up. Now frick off.
Mike Tyson Abstained From Sex For 5 Years During the Prime of His Career
following the lead of the GOAT mohammad ali, who would go entire years celibate during his prime
dead sport, who gives a shit
>Fury is irrelevant
Yeah man, this is going into my moron compilation.
>Fury is irrelevant, and he will never reach the heights of Mike Tyson
Please don't ever talk about boxing again.
so what if fury is an inbred goblin who faps 7 times a day
ali and tyson were the two famous examples of celibacy
>mike is now a drug addicted nobody doing podcasts
>fury is the gypsy king
Masturbation-bros, why do we keep on winning so much?
The winning streaks probably had more to do with his training and genetics than obsessively talking about touching penises online with other men obsessed with talking about men talking about touching penises. The man was most certainly not celibate. He has eight kids ffs. Nofap is just a meme for low test men to feel like they are part of this big secret social club for losers.

He was for his fighting career, look it up this is common knowledge

take a long look in the mirror there, homosexual
It got me closer to God
Based. I suppose the desperate cultists need to have something to feel pride in, so they decide to feel pride by not touching their dicks, lol.
It's simply much easier to take pride in doing nothing. Actually doing things takes effort. Something these limpwrist nofap fruitcakes know nothing about.
Y'all wanna see what porn does to your brain?
It’s not really a secret that most German men are pedos
Why are these thread always turning in a cesspool of hate against people who decide to quit porn and fapping and just look for advice on how to do it? Why are there always people defending porn and fapping like somebody is going to put a chastity cage on their dick and balls and cut off their internet. Fap as much as you want, nobody cares. But if you won't contribute with sound advice other than THERE'S NO PROOF THAT'S WORKING JUST TOUCH YOUR DICK LIKE US just pass on the thread and move along. If not anything else It can at least teach you some discipline and test your willpower.
Because the benefits of nofap are real. And theyre either coping and seething or are out right subversives trying to prevent others from experiencing said benefits.
Its trannies and god knows who else trying to ridicule the idea because sexual abstinence becoming truly mainstream would hurt a lot of pockets
I decided to stop fapping a week ago. Lost all my sexual desire since then. Only in the last day has it been coming back. What should I do? Should I do it once or twice a week to make sure it still works?
Do whatever you want. Just stop watching porn and hentai.
Yeah. Helps you avoid wet dreams too.
Most people already don't experience wet dreams because they're sick and unhealthy porn addicts
When my mom passed away I went over a month without cooming. I didn't feel higher test or anything. But when I did eventually coom it was damn near cartoonish and I felt a lot better the next day.
Doing this only makes sense if you take the Jesus pill alongside it
lmao research taken completely out of context and misunderstood by desperate incels.
>tiny bump to testosterone over the course of a week
>test then returns to normal
hilarious and tragic irony that a bunch of desperate loner incels were tricked into depriving themselves of sexual gratification at their own hands (in addition to being deprived of sexual contact with anyone else), all in the pursuit of getting an unnoticeable bump in a hormone that has a wildly overexaggerated effect on build and mental health... which is just to say that it won't change your life at all if your problems stem from you having shit personality, shit coping habits for your mental health, zero emotional/social intelligence, antisocial behavior, and no direction in life. How about you guys work on those things, instead of embarking on an absurd and unscientific quest to bump up a random hormone?
Noporn is better than nofap in my opinion.
If you're not planning on getting a gf then who cares as long as it's not an addiction.
The health benefits are so negligible that it's a joke
A literal reddit meme.
Exterminate all incels and NoFap will vanish.
communism was cool before it was ever put into practice, but it's kinda fricked up how marxists are all trannies now
Have you heard about the LTV, the main theory his economic philosophy rests on? He didn't even really care communism, he wrote mainly about capitalism and its faults and theorized a revolution will topple it, leading to communism, and that will fix everything.
Then those morons went and did it and ended up starving millions. Socialism is for highschoolers
you are literally on IST trying to convice incels on roids to nof jerk off. not gonna work, they will bring all kind of excuses and cope lmao
Let me ask you a question: Are you literally wearing a kippah right now?
These threads are beyond pathetic. Absolutely no real discussion takes place on either side, it's just a bunch of shitflinging and shaming of behaviours without any real points ever raised.
If any of you talked about whether you do or don't jerk off in front of actually smart people instead of pseudos and midwits you'd be laughed out the fricking room. Just frick off back to /LULZ/ already, discussion this low quality doesn't even have any place on a self improvement board let alone a fitness board
>complains about lack of discussion
>adds nothing but gratuitous insults and generalizations
wew lad
Gee I wonder why. Maybe because the discussion in the current year is so under developed that it provides nothing of value to anyone with an IQ of over 100. You are not going to convince everyone to do X thing because "da jooz said not to" or "le test boost at 7 days / just trust me i tripled my test on 48742957 days nofap" so frick off somewhere else
instead of shitting on everyone's opinion why don't you enlighten us with your own
What's the point? No matter what I say, whether for nofap or against, I'll just be called a rabbi/israelite/shlomo, a glowBlack person, a cuck, a redditor, a coomer, an addict or any combination of the above
My actual opinion is that masturbation doesn't mean much and people who state either benefits or negatives of abstinence are always over selling it, porn is the problem and all the primary nofap resources say the same thing. Virtually everyone on the internet who isn't a poltard, christcuck or chastity cage fetishist agrees with me
This
>an appeal to popularity
well, most people are born slaves, so i guess you understand who your target audience is
Thanks for proving my point. Frick this garbage board. Not wasting any more time in this thread
Gotta go fap again? Already?
Coomer redditor, pleb
If masturbation didn't negatively affect the endocrine systems of so many young men, then it wouldn't be relevant. But people ARE feeling negative consequences for their actions, and many simply haven't yet made the connection
>these threads are bad because no one discusses anything, I the middleman who never takes a stance on any issue am above everyone
>okay so discuss something
>no, see, I don't have to it's everyone else's fault
>stop lifting for months
>fap every day
>stop fapping
>urge to lift rises, have a great workout
>within two weeks set new PR despite being out of it for a long ass time previously
Call it placebo, a "cult", whatever you gays want I don't give a frick. For me it works and that's all that matters.
Good for you, anon. The problem is the rest of the nofap shills that preach it non stop.
Nofap works and thats a proven fact. Proven by the we the people
>it's real
it's real
wtf it's real?
Bruh just jack off during the weekends, and abstain during the workweek. Simple as that.
nofap isn't sexual absistence fricking moron, it's just not jacking off and fricking women instead
it's nofap, not nosex
moron incel kys
My longest streak was 28 days when I was in my schools weightlifting team and the no fap meme first started.
I was a lot more aggressive and I was able to channel this to my lifts. I was able to push myself slightly because I was really spent up. I have no knowledge of additional testosterone gains and I think it's entirely mental.
If you are doing nofap for anything apart from (very commendable and pious) religious beliefs then you are a moron. If you want healthier sexual appetites no porn is the way to go. I wish I had better willpower for no fap since I'm Catholic and I keep trying but it really sucks. Women are beautiful.
To be honest it probably partially explains how prison inmates get so jacked. Sure they work out a lot and being around other men 24/7 and competing and fight flight reaction is going to crank test production up but they aren’t all gays having buttsex that’s the minority most are celibate or jerking it pretty infrequently
Black person are you fricking stupid? Prison inmates have access to porn magazines. Not only do they fap but they frick each other as well and if you think fricking another man is "better" than jerking off you're a fricking homosexual
Porn is the problem, not masturbation.
There are two kinds of people:
People like me who don't fap because they think it's undignified
People who need to look for some ~~*scientific*~~ reason in order to stop themselves from fapping like some kind of a weak homosexual.
I forgot:
People who don't fap because of religious reasons. They are alright as well.
