Keep it to once a day and you should be alright

Dunno if it lowers testosterone, but it makes you more placid and less motivated.

Don't jerk off to porn, it's not good for the way your brain functions.

Jack it as much as you want, but ONLY jack it to your own fantasies. No porn at all. After a couple days, you won't have to worry about testosterone (and you'll probably want to jack less anyway)

I very much enjoy the apathy that has consumed me I live in a small 1 bed flat but its mine I work an low paying job but its enough I own a dog to keep me company and am in shape so I will not stop wanking. 3-4 times a day I really don't need life to get any better fore
me to be content with what I have

Thank you, can you please explain why is porn so bad for me? I read something on b a few years ago but cant quite remember.

its make you a beta cuck faggot user

Based

yourbrainonporn d o t com will get you started. Basically you overload your brain with dopamine and you feel like Atilla the Hun for a few seconds, but if you keep doing it then your receptors get dull and things get screwy.

???? What if I only watch solo girls fingering or lesbians eating out each other no dildos?? Is it still cuck hardwiring? Idfts

If you have been jerking off to porn more than a once a day for a long time can your brain chemical balance get back to normal if you quit or is it unreversible?

you don't need to go to some faggotty pol meme site to know that all things should be done in moderation
eat cock you sperg

What if I record videos/take pictures of my wife during sex or blowjobs? I usually masturbate to that and get really worked up during the day taking screens from my videos.

Yes and no.
Moderation is key.

It's called "empathy". You just imagine you're the guy. You dont see another man. you see yourself.

i used to beat off all the time, but once i went on nofap and compared the difference between fapping and not fapping, i felt way better not fapping. i can feel my serotonin levels and dopamine levels coming back to normal after a few months of stopping, this impacted my life so much i literally can't even get my penis erect from porn anymore, my brain now knows better than to fall for that fake shit.
i find myself actually getting happy and experiences pleasure from doing everyday things. fapping is a huge impact on mental health and motivation, go on nofap and let your body see the difference.

here is some evidence

ur so full of shit

aren't we all full of shit, even after you take a shit your body just makes more shit

i'm still going to watch porn so fuck all of you

the more you get it, the more you want it.

That is bullshit and you know it

Ive seen wolf of Wall Street I know wanking is how you get successful you cuck

Kinda the same for me like said only that i didnt really feel a difference between nofap for 1 week and nofap for 1 month (my longest time was about 3 months). But it always felt like I was just generally in a better mood even if it was barely noticable.

Idk if this is just a placebo effect or actual chemistry going on in the body or a bit of both but not fapping for a few days or weeks every once in a while is refreshing

yeh it will go back to normal if you stop

i basically just fapped until i was finally sick of it and just stopped.
once you nofap there's no going back

i usually fap 4-5 times a week, ever since i've stopped 2 weeks ago i feel too depressed to do anything productive. I can't even motivate myself to jerk off anymore. i can't even play vidya and enjoy it. Im just sitting on Sup Forums all day reading shit. Your theory is incorrect, atleast for some of us

yeah same for me now i've been on nofap for 2 months now and i grew sick of it aswell
it also just takes up quite a lot of time even if you just fap once per day thats still a good 20-30mins (more or less) that you can use to do something better

Not for me I'm afraid. I get agressive when I don't fap. Last year I pulled my mirror off the wall (it was attached with silicone sealer) and almost smashed it on the ground because I couldn't fit a strand of hair in place. Now I know better.

This. I mostly jerk off to either lesbian porn, ecchi, or POV stuff

Look people aren't the same fapping is something you need to do as a man there may be some people who claim they feel good not fapping but they probably have a lot of other releases in there life or are on a soy diet you don't have to stop wanking to have some self control over your life there are plenty of people who are successful and fap because they have self control and motivation fappimg isn't the reason men are lazy

No but being a weak little bitch does

what a fucking wanker, i fell off a cliff reading you nigger, use punctuation

I think it does. I have autism, which some think is an imbalance of testosterone (as in too much). So I jerk off at least once a day, because it seems to help with my mood and irritatableness.

I also get one day a week for myself, where I jerk off 3-4 times a day.

No. Its good to masturbate so you dont get prostate cancer.

Accurate image.

i stopped jerking off when i turned 31, its been 5 years. mainly due to religious reasons or what not, however i think it might increase testosterone levels actually: production is increased due to the body sensing it needs replenishment...

It does in the short term - but it picks up again within about 18 hours of the last ejaculation. That's no different than the effect after having any form of sex with a partner.

However, it's not quite that simple.

Regular, fairly frequent, ejaculation has a similar effect to any other form of exercise - e.g. regular cardio-vascular aerobic, or high intensity anaerobic, exercise:

..... will reduce your stamina and energy levels in the short term, but gradually boost your overall fitness and average stamina levels in the long term.

It is likely, based on statistical averages and overall fitness & stamina levels (including sexual health), that they are both optimised by an ejaculation frequency in the region of once per day - which is typical for males in their late teens and early adulthood when they are in their prime sexual condition.

I agree.
happiness shouldn't be a goal.
happiness occasionally occurs during a path to another goal. Sort of a feelsy reward for getting off your ass.

If you find a way to scam happiness by getting the reward without getting off your ass, you'll feel really good, but do nothing. But if you get off your ass, you might feel good, or you might not. But you will be doing. Which is the important part.

thats a very big claim. im gonna want some sauce with that mouthful.

supports what i said on the other hand, and unlike exercise, holding back ejaculation (by thus inhibiting the stimulation) for a minimum period of time causes the body to balance its hormonal discharge, and produce the same amount of testosterone as would have been by excercising a fapping routine.

Yeah I don't think you need to stop fapping to gain some self control. This whole no fap thing is similar to when you finally managed to keep a gym route it's because you have chosen to take control it's not because you have stop fapping.

wtf? fuckin nofap is here

> "... im gonna want some sauce [sic] with that mouthful. " ;

..... I have read plenty of peer-reviewed material that backs up those key points, but I haven't actually kept specific records of them.

It's just as easy for you to Google the key phrases, and read the same academic sources that I have read - if you are really that interested in it.

Be warned though, you need to plough through a lot of statistical data, and various charts, from multiple sources : and actually understand how it all fits together.

I am satisfied by my own understanding of the matter, and my ability to synthesise the information I have extracted in order to state a reasonably simple synopsis that is accessible to the layman.

I recommend you start here:

ty!

Never read any scientific studies but it does help me a lot.
Managing to control your wild urges and straying away from immediate pleasure (bad) for working to have a lot of pleasure in the future (good) > more self confidence > confidence is the opposite of anxiety > with confidence you go out to people and seek success in life > with success the depression goes awy etc. It's a domino effect. Perfect way to start getting gud if your life is shit and there is a high chance it is since you're on Sup Forums.

Actual answer. Yes. For all of about 15 mins to an hour

This.

If you edge a lot, it boosts your levels, just don't cum.

> " I stopped jerking off when I turned 31 ..." ;

..... yeah, when you were past your "prime", and probably no longer quite so eager in your attempts to spread your genes.

> "... its been 5 years ..." ;

..... 31 + 5 years = 36 y.o. now. I am pretty sure that you have a higher BMI and higher % body fat level than you did in your late teens.

Your exercise levels have declined, and your waist line is starting to increase. Your brain "kids you" that you are still in your prime, but when you look in the mirror - you see the difference already.

I recommend that you increase your regular exercise levels, before long you will start to get regular adrenaline rushes that will gradually increase your levels of horniness, and soon find that you need to ejaculate as frequently as you did when you were half your current age.

It will be harder to make up lost time if you don't start before you are 40 - when an almost insurmountable "middle aged spread" will start to make it very much more difficult to "turn back the clock".

>you don't see the other man
He's been turned already

Edging is where it's at Thats a mans game. Try crossing your legs and/or arching your spine back it'll feel WAY better

mine should be gone long ago

user what can I say, you're absolutely correct, even though i didn't exactly get what the hell "middle aged spread" is.

Take these with you faggot

yes, research has shown testosteron levels peak after 1 week of not masturbating. Which makes sense its the hormon what causes your sex drive. Explaining why woman generall arent as much into sex as man. Also testosteron is important for muscle building

Cumming temporarily drops test along with your focus, aggression, and makes you complacent. This is good as a mating mechanism so you stay with a partner, but it's bad when you're nutting to imaginary shit, fucking up your dopamine and seratonin responses and conditioning your brain to only crave certain stimuli. When overdone this will fuck up your ability to want real pussy, relationships and so on.

if this is true, Im a woman now...

...

If you masturbate a lot you convert a lot of your resting testosterone into DHT or dihydro testosterone. If you have baldness in your family then jerking off too much will speed up the rate in which you lose your hair.

Having said that, I fuck my wife about every other day. Sometimes on consecutive days.
