>Higher Vibrations(Reddit actually believes this)
the fuck ? Are you a vibrator ?

Look up benefits of nofap on reddit

The majority of them will include this point.

It's only for addicts, a good practice to kick the Habit.

I think an user last thread posted a source about how masturbating actually increased testosterone and abstaining from masturbation actually decreased it over time. The most efficient time to masturbate was something like once every 6 days to get the most out of testosterone peaks.

I believe the phenomena occurs when you become aroused you desire to fap, but because you purposely abstain you develop withdraw and want to fap more. This increased willing to fap makes you more susceptible to other forms of arousal like porn or women in general. You aren't actually gaining testosterone, you're just getting withdraw from not fapping

This. They need to make it seem really enticing and awesome to get jerk off addicts to quit jacking off ten times a day. Lots of self help programs do this sort of thing.

the fuck is "higher vibrations"?

>quit jacking off ten times a day
tha fuck would anyone do that for?

Depression, or severe social issues.

propaganda, unscientific and untrue to boot

There's some definite biological effects observed with abstention but whether that translates into any meaningful health benefits is unknown.

I tried it for 60 days, pretty miserable because just about every lewd image would give me a raging hardon and I could do nothing but cite the pledge of alleigence and hope it went away.

I noticed some small differences like you mentioned, but I can't pretend like it was anything other than a placebo because it wasn't very significant.

30 mins a day of exercise and sticking to a regular sleep cycle definitely unfucked my shit in a major way, would recommend.

Apparently masturbating once every 6 days is the most optimal way of keeping your testosterone levels the highest.

I'm 2 days into nofap and I'm having issues, already wanting to do prostate stimulating and I hate things being near my ass.

Doing nofap to break a habit and maybe convince myself to get a girlfriend.

Follow my blog.

>already wanting to do prostate stimulating
Confirmed no fap turns you gay. Not even once.

Hey it's that user, I'm here again. Got my copy paste ready as per usual:

"On the 7th day of [ejaculation] abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline ( P < 0.01)."

Are they talking about that retarded new age shit? Is that what they mean by "vibrations"

After you wank off your brain releases dopamine.
Dopamine makes you content.
Content people don't improve their lives.

That's how it works.

Third day and I regret trying the stimulation. Having things in your ass really hurts. I'm gonna stay straight.

Same with smoking dope I assumed. That's why I stopped smoking weed, it made me content which isn't necessarily a bad thing just not a thing you want if your trying to improve aspects of your life

It helps me focus on things that are important -- anime and work.

Vibrations of the penis.

What, my penis doesn't vibrate if I go eve 2 weeks

The fuck is this vibration?

A kid in my graduate program did a lecture on the frequency of male masturbation and levels testosterone levels in the blood serum. He and the overseeing professor studied it with a pool of over one thousand applicants.
There wasnt a link. Whack off to your heart's content

Full blown placebo for those who jerk off a normal amount. Actually helpful for people who are addicted to it.

I've gone a full week without doing it because I was traveling to another state to visit friends and I felt no different than when I do it my normal amount which is considered highly unhealthy (5-7 times per day). Friends basically had the same thing happen as the whole trip they felt uncomfortable even trying.

Sums me right up.

Use lube, don't clench up, don't scream in your head "STUFF UP THE BUTT WILL SUCK!" before you do it.

forget nofap
nopoo and nopee are where it's at

I sometimes go two weeks without fapping, and everything is the fucking same. It's a "treatment" to break addiction.

>(5-7 times per day)

Is this a joke? How is this done? I cant comprehend this

My penis can't vibrate, should i see the doctor ?
