Do you think Masturbation affects mental and physical health? If yes, how?
Also, can stopping Masturbation regain one's original personality and potential?
What do you all sci people think?
>inb4 NoFap
Yes, I'm from there after reading some of the things from there. Also I needed your perspective on this.

If beating your meat majorly changes your personality, I'd say yourself control is really the problem.
On some days I manage to crank it out three times and yet I am a functioning physics grad student, go to gym, have fun with my gf, etc.
NoFap is the biggest nonsense I've ever seen and if you're relating your problems to your fucking dick then you're a weak willed lazy faggot.
Masturbation can be addictive. It also affects how you think about sex and women.
This tbqh. It's like those guys taking cold showers and thinking they're doing "self improvement". It's all about making yourself think you did something useful to improve yourself without working hard for it.
The irony is that NoFap is mental masturbation.
Masturbation can change the way that you see sex. You probably will turn on easily with fantasies than with real things. In other way, could be a escalade and a necessity for new kind of stimulus. That's why you start with normal porn and then you will start watching gang bangs, robbery's, pregnant girls...
The more you masturbate, the less control women have over you.
This so much
You need to post more
Exactly, were human and hormones do exist believe it or not
Before going on a date:
>when in doubt, wack it out
I need to ask something related to this topic so I hope people are here to listen.
I wanted to ask, what exactly does orgasm do for your head? Does it make you feel happy in relative terms and simply clear your head of stress, or does it pump in happiness?
The reason I'm asking this is because.. Well, for 5 years now, I've had gender dysphoria and it's ruining me at this point. Most of the day, I feel like I want to transition to mtf, but post-orgasm, I feel confident in my body and I feel that way for a long time. If I fap more, I feel okay, but also pathetic for needed to masturbate so often. If I fap less, I feel like trying to transition.
the best way to describe it is I kind of feel like I have two versions of me, and one knows of and regrets the actions of the other, but has no control.
If orgasm just removes stress, then maybe this confusion just comes from a kink. If it makes you happy by force, then maybe i need to consider it as I want to literally kill myself from this confusion and fapping is getting in the way.
Thanks

Masturbation doesn't negatively affect those.

It's a meme made up by religious zealots, pseudoscintists and hacks.

Masturbation 100% has mental defects. Each time you climax your body releases Oxytocin to decrease stress levels and therefore feel good. Because of this masturbation in moderation is actually quite healthy. However, as you do it more your body gets used to the amount of the hormone it receives and so doesn't get the same effect which causes the body to get a larger amount of oxytocin each time.
You may feel this is fine but what it is actually doing is making ordinary achievements: doing well on a test, beating a personal goal, not feel as gratifying as it should. This downward spiral will continue until masturbation is the only thing that can make you feel good, this is when there is a serious problem and I encourage you to stop.
Alongside this your body will become addicted to the amount of oxytocin it receives making it harder to stop, you may also receive headaches post orgasm which are attributed to the amount of hormones released.
I hope this helps to answer any questions.
Joke's on you, I never ask for numbers.
Releases endorphins and shit
Then wouldn't normal sex be just as bad?
>I'm a lazy Physics undergrad with an ugly girlfriend who is also dumb enough to pay for gym membership ETC
Yeah, I am a Physics undergrad as well, have you ever thought that you picked up Physics because it is too general? Have you ever considered that you shouldn't be masturbating if you have a girlfriend? Or that you shouldn't frequent shitty places like Veeky Forums if you are seriously engaged in Physics?
Normal sex is too rare to be bad, it is initiated by the girl and girls forget about sex for days.
dude you have been brainwashed
Would I be even bigger of a loser if I were a Med student?
cold showers are good for both your physical health (obvious) and your mental health (willpower training). what the hell is "self improvement" if not this ?
>lazy
with this one I agree
>undergrad
I'm not an undergrad, while I do still have a lot of studying, most of my time is utilizing positron annihilation spectroscopy to study defects in solid state matters and using ab initio methods to model positron's wave function in the defective lattices. Our lab is currently researching titanium and other materials like magnesium to be used further as implants in medicine, dunno if that's too general for you, boyo.
>gf
Sadly, I have to masturbate when my gf has a 12h shift and is too tired after work. She's not too bright but believe me when I say that she is a hot piece of ass.
>ECL
I'm not a US cuck and go to a local gym that's 1 km from our house. Monthly cost is 27 ameribucks. Dunno if that's considered "being dumb", but I digress.
The actual benefits of doing this are negligible compared to the stuff you should actually be doing to improve yourself, whatever that may be.
It's like the fatty who takes the stairs to the second floor instead of the elevator "For her health" and then continuous to stuff her face with donuts.
Don't bother with the details before you've got the outline.
>>lazy
>with this one I agree
kek
>dunno if that's too general for you
PAS is something you can learn in a week and follow automated procedures through it. Titanium in medicine is 1940s technology. Magnesium is much likely to be a dead end since magnesium oxide is one of the materials that can cause symptoms of metal fume fever. Sounds like a money dump research made of people without any real value, am I wrong? The problem is not about being general, the problem is that people without value have a hard time finding the motivation to go from something general to a real specialization.
>She's not too bright
Even worse, I would rather have an ugly smart girlfriend than a miss dum-dum.
>Monthly cost is 27 ameribucks
Nah, it is okay.
>1940s technology
More like 1980s, but that doesn't mean anything. The creation of [math] \alpha [/math] and [math] \beta [/math] phases and their transformations in particular are not well understood, which greatly influence the metal's flexibility. It is in no way a solved problem. The solutions we provide are used where one might expect them, hips and joints, that is nothing new. Magnesium on the other hand is degraded very well by the body and is used in stuff like vasodilation procedures, it's not really used in amounts big enough to actually cause metal poisoning.
>Money dump
Well, these are not the only elements our lab studies, but Mg and Ti alloys in particular are heavily researched throughout many solid state departments through more destructive methods utilizing standard SEM, TEM, AFM, etc. It's an interesting research that leads to application, I wonder what would you consider an interesting non-"money dump" research.
>ugly smart girlfriend
Well, the ugly part I'd rather not indulge in, but smarts aren't really that important to me. I have plenty people to talk shop and other stuff with and when I get home I just wanna chill & netflix with my sweet babe.
the only credibile scienific links you shared take a biochemical perspective; the psychological effects of porn and masturbation are yet inconclusive. don't try to dump sci lit like some r/atheism retard if you can't even address the underlying issue

No they're not.
>don't try to dump sci lit like some r/atheism retard if you can't even address the underlying issue
>sci lit
Don't not read, project, shitpost and tell me I shouldn't post actual science on the science board. This is Veeky Forums not /pseudosci/
In order to stop fapping you need to have something to miss after it in the first place. If your testosterone is too low, you are not going to miss it; if you are apathetic, you are not going to feel suddenly apathetic; if girls don't talk to you, you are not going to miss that. There is a mindset that leads to masturbation over and over and you should think that forcing this person to stop doesn't solve his mindset problem. They don't associate nofap with preservation. Masturbation itself isn't bad, but what causes it is an inferior mindset that often disappoints everyone.
