Ejaculation floods your brain with prolactin. Prolactin is a very nasty little hormone if you're a man, as it depletes testosterone levels and is highly linked to gynecomastia (man boobs). Prolactin also counteracts the effects of dopamine, leaving you feeling unmotivated and of dull mood.
>inb4 nofap is a meme it's actually unreal how you incels cope with your lack of willpower and the fact you've spent the best years of your lives draining your masculine energy to porn, alone in a dark room rotting in a pool of your own sweat. The vast majority of people on this website are porn addicts.
Best way for anyone to find out is to abstain and observe the changes for themselves. I dare you to not watch porn, masturbate, and orgasm for 30 days.
Nolan Parker
They've shown that chronic masturbation in men decreases the number of testosterone receptors in the brain, which means that no matter how much free testosterone you might have, masturbating will decrease the psychological effects of it. This is why men who abstain from masturbation notice increased confidence, social outoingness, motivation to achieve, etc.
It has also been shown that in lower life-forms, the number of orgasms correlates inversely with lifespan. Whether this translates to humans is unclear, but Taoists practiced abstension from orgasm for thousands of years, with the understanding that it depleted a man's vital energy and life-force, shortening their life-span. Some people think that if nofap does have life-extension benefits, it would be via immunomodulation, as reproduction is thought to be fundamentally taxing to the immune system.
Brandon Hill
In reality, the entire purpose of human existence is reproductive. Once you've reproduced and passed on your genes, you have completed your biological mission. So, rather than needlessly and continuously spending your reproductive energy by jizzing into a sock, basically telling your biology that you've succeeded in life and its time to chill, it makes sense to retain this energy and redirect it into more productive means. Unfortunately, most people are addicted to internet porn and to masturbation, and don't have the willpower to even abstain long enough to experience the benefits of nofap.
I've personally tried it many times for extended periods, and can say for sure that it's by far one of the most important things, if not the most important thing that a man can do to improve his life, and his ability to succeed in life. Humans are just animals, and while we like to think that we have deliberate, conscious control over our lives, the reality is that there are deep biological mechanisms at play in determining every aspect of our behavior and psychology. Rather than try to use pure force of will and positive thinking and other bullshit, I prefer to manipulate the deep biological mechanisms directly, via things like diet, sleep, etc. No Fap in particular is a deep, powerful biological lever a man can use to shape his own life in a real way, rather than just talking or thinking about it. People will tell you No Fap is bullshit, and to be honest it gets pretty old seeing people say this when you understand the power of it, but we are all just crabs in a bucket I guess.

A single month of your life, start to finish, completely porn free, just using your imagination. Write down the day you start and the day you finish and pin it on your wall. If you relapse even once you are addicted, no matter what pathetic excuse you tell yourself.

I'm not a no-fap believer, but I was forced into a living arrangement where I couldn't fap or fuck for an extended period. I felt pretty easy-going and social interaction was indeed smoother. Not sure if it was placebo from reading shitposts like OP though.

For me, yes.

Some of us are just weak retards, for me I either watch zero porn or I watch it every single day for 40+ minutes seeking out the dirtiest most intense fetish porn I can find
For people like you, no fap is probably pointless
For people like me, it's giant, during an addiction phase I have zero interest in women, other than the societal pressure of "needing" to have sex, so I would force myself into that situation, not really being aroused, taking viagra when with a girl because I'm not really turned on and not enjoying it
That has happened several times in the past few years, I think "I'm a young male, I'm SUPPOSED to be having sex" so I would bully myself into meeting up with girls for sex, just for the sake of it, even though my sex drive was basically dead unless I was watching some fucked up fetish porn
shits fucked, but I'm in a good place right now

Literally no reason to do nofap/noporn if you're above 20 and socially retarded. you're gonna be a lonely virgin for the rest of your life.
Carter Ortiz
I beg to differ
Who is more likely to put in the effort to get laid, the guy who has zero sex drive because he faps twice per day, or the guy who is desperately horny because he hasn't cum in 20 days
It's why I recommend to the guys who are struggling to get themselves a 4/10 bbw
A big part of the issue is they want their first car to be a lamborghini, if you're a virgin, or you never ever get laid, you will be waiting forever if you're waiting for a 9/10 girl to fuck you
fuck the 4/10, get some confidence in yourself and your ability, work your way up
Aiden Miller
that's good advice I guess but no women regardless of her looks want a non-chad male, especially one thirsty enough to not fap for 20 days to bang a 4/10. nofap/noporn is really a attempt to further control male sexuality, betas and incels suffer because of this.
Owen Baker

I'm a nofapper, but you need to a worldview adjustment. Humans are sentient beings and free will exists. The outcome of your life is 100% within your control.

You can't simultaneously believe that we have free will and that we are at the mercy of our biological instincts. Those beliefs are antithetical to each other.

Lucas Allen
Ya, I'm going to take sex advice from some shitposting virgin. There's no evidence supporting nofap. I've tried it and after 50 days, I felt nothing. Your body isn't going to magically jizz away your testosterone and deplete the receptors, you need to take an anatomy 101 class or at least get googling. inb4 hurr durr i was only pretending to be retaded
Jaxson Murphy
>i have a 4/10 bending over backwards to try and force us into a relationship, How do you combat this? I'm not even dyel but they act like having hair a job and less fat than them makes me Uber Chad... But also want relationship after the first time ...

Since you know so much about receptors, go ahead and explain why I'm wrong.
NoFap is bro science.You have 0 understanding of the human body, and we both know you are incapable of posting anything more than childish insults.
Justin Williams
>DONT FAP WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH FITNESS?
Chase Butler
Great advice Einstein: you would've made the same 'argument' regardless of the amount of days I abstained.
NoFap is a waste of time. If you're a bit slow and easily influenced by the placebo effect, go ahead and waste your time pretending you're some alpha for not beating it. I'd rather jerk off 2-3 times per week so I don't last 5 minutes in bed than listen to some broscience from people who don't have the slightest understand of sex.
Julian Phillips
This is true to a degree. From a health standpoint you're right, but jerking it too much and the same way over and over again can definitely cause some performance issues once you get into the bedroom. Porn is another issue entirely. I think noporn and decreasing the frequency that you fap is a far better option.
Gavin Baker
were you watching porn during the 50 days?
Cameron Fisher
Just try to keep them at an arms length, don't see them too often
the girl I'm talking about, I fucked her on two occasions and she started planning things out months in advance, inviting me to her friends wedding, buying matching his and hers mugs
I can mention something in passing, like how I prefer coffee to tea, she goes out and buys coffee
I mention I like peanut butter, she goes out and buys peanut butter and peanut butter ice cream
She starts listening to the same bands that I like and starts looking at their tour dates to try and buy us tickets
Even if she was an 8/10 I would be put off, she's trying way too hard. The reason I don't feel too guilty is because I was upfront with her, I said lets cut out all the bullshit, cut out all the being polite, going on dates, trying to impress each other, lets just have a sexual relationship and if anything more develops than that then great, she said that's perfect and she agrees completely.... then instantly tries her best to force a relationship to develop
Colton Bailey
No. I currently only watch porn about once a week and have sex with the gf maybe 3 times weekly. I used to watch porn all the time when I was single and desu feel exactly the same as I do now. I get that porn can be an addiction, but it's ridiculous just how much people are claiming nofap can do.
Daniel Jackson
Literally me
Jayden Morris
You're right about decreasing the frequency of fapping being a good idea. If you compulsively beat it to the extent that you're having a hard time keeping it up for a woman, you definitely need a break.
My only complaint is that people pretend nofap is like a miracle shot of testosterone or something. If you have a healthy relationship with porn and fapping, there's no reason it can't be a part of your routine. Sure you shouldn't jerk it twice a day, but there's no reason to completely abstain as well. Finding a healthy balance between the two is your best bet. The ridiculous effects I've seen attributed to nofap are insane.
Hudson Lopez
Fair enough. I definitely understand the stamina benefits to fapping, so that's all good. When I broke my 45 day streak (no porn or fapping), it felt like I was on some mild uppers so maybe my shit's just fucked up big time
Jaxson Morris
This is true, I jacked off twice yesterday and today I see that I have grown breasts. I was shocked to see my penis shrunk by two whole inches and all my body hairs disappeared, my voice became shrill and my hip bones widened. Worst mistake of my life. Went to the doctors and he said I don't have any testosterone receptors in my brain anymore so even injecting test won't have any effect due to hormonal infetterance. I had no such problem when I had sex multiple times a day but when I jerked off this happened. Stop jerking off guys, tugging your penis in different ways releases different hormones, your pitutary third eye can tell when you watch porn and will stop releasing testosterone if you watch it.
Grayson Williams
>inb4 larping porn shills oh wait...
Adam Russell
I don't see why people seem to disparage NoFappers so much. I've been doing it on and off for a while and have noticed nothing but improvements in my quality of life. I wish I was born without a fucked up brain, but sex drive is literally the only thing that forces me to get up every morning. When I jack off, I feel like a shell.
I just wish the whole NoFap community wasn't so cancerous. It gives the system a bad rep.

There is nothing wrong with masturbation the body HAS to release. It's porn conditioning that fucks someone up.
Hudson Reed
>There is nothing wrong with masturbation the body HAS to release. Men don't have to release ever. Not unless we're at that point where litterally everything is conspiring to make us rapey savages that are looking to spend hours brutally fucking the hottest wettest piece of cunt that we can get our hands on. Outside of that we'd be better off not masturbating and not consuming porn. Women on the other hand tend to go fucking bananas if they don't pop their cork every once in a while.
Luke Harris
That humans aren't animals, but fapping makes you into one.
