This is (i think) the only study that showed this, and I just cat trust a papaer with such shit graphs. pic related.

Is nofap backed by real science being done by real scientists I can see on a real world class journal?

The spike in testosterone isnt significant enough to make any real changes to your mood/health/etc. that nofappers claim happens on the 7th day, at least from what I understand. nofap is at best placebo.

I do the 7 day shit and I definitely notice a difference on that 7th day

Masturbating
Dopamine receptors

Kind of like addiction

The real question is does masturbation aggravate hairloss? I would be fapping three times a day if I was certain the answer to that is no.

Like eating food.

There is only one single study on this, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn´t take into account things like who were the people tested.
Were they older males, monastic celibates, young boys in puberty. There are not references to that.
Some people on rebootnation have actually tested their testosterone while going through long periods of total celibacy.
One guy had his testosterone levels almost 3x higher than from his baseline fapping everyday despite being celibate for over 6 months.
But of course, people who usually go for these long abistence streaks tend to improve themselves in other ways too: more exercise, better diet etc. So the better test levels could be simply explained by change in the diet and lifestyle.

I'm currently nofapping just to end my addiction to weird porn. I don't care about superpowers, I just need to stop being aroused by weird shit on the internet. My porn tastes were getting too gross, even though I didn't jerk it more than 5 times a week, max. I've also suddenly gotten a huge crush on this one girl, I really want to be with her, I'm working on improving myself - I was already improving myself, but I'm being more obsessive about it now, especially concerning social interaction (something I've always been mediocre at) - and I just can't help but think "what would she think of me if she knew I masturbated to this?" which is a little silly, I know, but it's helping me eliminate this addiction.
I have also found myself thinking differently about things. It doesn't really have anything to with not masturbating, though if I were like your average reddit nofapper, I'd've assumed it did - I suppose this is why so many nofappers believe that it is their abstinence that has given them so many benefits; it's not the abstinence itself, rather, it is the newfound desire to improve oneself, the same desire that influenced the preliminary decision to end their unhealthy masturbatory habits, that has benefited them.
I, personally, feel more critical of my own flaws. I have become more aware during social interaction, and I partake in it more now. If someone invites me to something, I won't immediately say no. I do not feel as uncomfortable talking to people now, and I am improving my conversational skills. I have realized the social errors I have been making for so long, errors which were the ultimate cause of me not having any genuine friends - everyone is merely an acquaintance, no one is a person that would have my back when necessary. Essentially, I have ignited a strong desire to improve myself in this aspect of my life, in which I have lacked for too long. Wish me luck, bros.
