It spikes your test levels at day 7, but then it goes back to normal after that. I’d not know if that is a cycle that repeats or not. It also decreases prolactin in the mind and increases dopamine, which can be really helpful for victims of porn addiction. But for the average non-addicted joes, I’d say fapping once or twice a week would be an ideal rate.
Josiah Martinez
Yes. The 10-14 day area is when most people break and fap. If you can make it past two weeks it gets much easier. Around the 30 day mark you are going to be chasing every girl you see.

I have started cumming in my sleep on month 2. Sometimes I am not even hard during my wet dreams. Last week I had two consecutive nights of wet dreams. Is this normal? I am producint more t or is it just my balls are just full of cum and need to release?
Jonathan Hernandez
Never tried nofap, but been doing noporn for months and it is lifechanging.
Samuel Fisher
Anybody else get mad from not fapping. I'm not used to this much testosterone so I'm getting some sperg rage and snapped at mom when she interrupted my lifts to tell me to drive her to the store.
Actually nevermind reading that out loud just sound like I'm autistic.
David Rivera
I just apologized. GBP salvaged lads.
Grayson Mitchell
Of course it works. Progressives and feds wouldn't shill here against it if it didn't.

The worst thing about masturbation is that it releases a lot of dopamine. Tasks that don't release as much dopamine, like reading a book, will feel boring. It's probably not bad to masturbate once every few weeks, since if you don't do it you'll ejaculate it anyway in your sleep. Just don't fall into addition cycle of masturbating everyday after you lose a streak.

>science points out it even activates reward chemicals pathways in the brain
That's exactly why it's harmful. Prolonged consumption of porn overloads the brain with so much "reward chemicals" that their receptors become gradually less and less responsive, resulting in decreased motivation and enjoyment of positive stimuli.
Like all things, the good tingly feelings caused by dopamine are harmful when there's too much of them.
You're supposed to get your reward chemicals from fucking real women, not watching some other dude get laid. Plus, the porn industry is rotten to the core, full of exploitation and personal tragedy of both men and women. I cannot fathom how someone right in their mind would advocate for more porn.
Pornless masturbation is okay in moderation I guess, but many of us know the energy increase that follows a few days' abstinence. I know I do. It's not magic, but it certainly has an effect.

And here are some other studies about >the dangers of jerking off and benefits of No-Fap
1. Masturbation can cause hair loss

3. Masturbation harms functionality of brain regions connected with dopaminergic system. It can cause decrease of one’s motivation

4.Ejaculation reduces oxytocin levels. Oxitocin is a hormone responsible for bonding with other human beings.

Porn also causes adhedonia, which is often called silent form of depression. Many people don't even know that it is a form of depression. Adhedonia makes you feel emotionally numb. Porn watching and fapping deregulated your body equilibrium of serotonin and dopamine. All the positive hormones in your body become unstable. It is because dopamine and serotonin are neurotransmitters. They move from your brain to the rest of your body using neural pathways. Serotonin is very important in mood regulation. Downside of it all is that NoFap isn't a 90 day long magic cure. neural pathways and dopamine transporters can't regrow in merely 90 days. Can you make progress during that time? Absolutely. It takes even 1 year for dopamine receptors to fully regrow.

The insane amount of dopamine from masturbation and porn is equivalent to drugs. This repeated dopamine intakes severely damages your dopamine receptor making you much less motivated to do anything because it doesn’t give you the dopamine and your receptors are in fact broken.

> 24 h after copulation to satiety, there is a reduction in androgen receptor density (ARd) in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) and in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH), but not in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST).
I can confirm that after 3-4 weeks of not ejaculating my Brain Fog gets much much better. Every time I coom and break my streak the brain fog returns.
Chase Thomas
I really, actually, and unironically feel weaker if I didn't fap the night before.

Wtf, I'll keep fapping then.

I've been on nofap for the entirety of April and there is literally no difference

>I am producint more t or is it just my balls are just full of cum and need to release?
More t doesnt mean more wet dreams otherwise guys on high doses of steroids would be having wet dreams all the time.
Cum is not stored in the balls. The balls just make sperm which constitutes less than 5% of the contents of semen. Sperm is being made all the time regardless on how often you ejaculate.
You have wet dreams because you are really horny from abstinence and you had a sex dream that at the time you though was real and it was an arousing enough stimulus to initiate the orgasm and ejaculation sequence in your body.

Porn addiction is real
Nofap is not.
Adam Wilson
For me. Every time I fap I feel less motivated
When I don't fap I feel better
Nathan Martin
NNN motivated me to finally get back in the game again and break a 2 year dry spell.
Destroyed my arms during that month from doing set after set of 50lb curls in an attempt to distract myself.
Also didn't really feel like my normal self then. But in a good way. Felt more motivation along with more anger and probably more self asserting.
Take from that what you will.
I'm going for a repeat and doing a no masturbating May.
Thomas Moore
I was 25 days in to nofap (started it by accident, jus stopped watching porn and then teh fapping stopped)
aand... i was being teased by some girls and i guess i liked it.
I went to pornhub and looked for "Nofap challenges" and stuff, and i survived pretty easy..
But I wanted more, so i went to /gif/ and welll, i fuckin, I didnt touch my dick ONCE and i came buckets after my dick just got one kegel pulse after another rushing 110% of my blood capacity in there.
Did I just ruin my nofap streak?
Do streaks even matter?
I havent intentnionally looked at porn in 25 days, i got insane head rushes from what I was looking at.. I know it's unhealthy.
What the fuck do i do?
I dont care about being nofap day 500, I'm more interested in semen retention, possible hair loss and motivating me in other aspects of my life.
Had a cold shower and got that "pick yourself up" song in my head
I woke up feeling like shit. Guess it's day 1 again.
The porn was the fuckup, absolutely.
Cooper Martinez
i mean yeah it was. just start cumming once a week to noporn. thats probably the healthiest balance between semen retention, dopamine releases, and prostate health.
