Nofap?

Oh I see, I think you were being sarcastic about wanting to live in England! Now it makes sense.

Re nofap, I think it is healthy to masturbate a few times per week. I don’t think keeping semen stored up is particularly healthy.

Over the past 2 months I have had dull aching in my testicles and my glans. I can only imagine this is due to a lot of semen build up within them.

Another question is, where does one stop with nofap? Going on a mini nofap of two weeks is fine, to build the hunger back up and challenge yourself, but after that it becomes pointless.

Is the goal to never masturbate again? What could that possibly achieve?

For many no masturbation is a way to break the addictive cycle of porn. As a married man, it’s not an issue. As with most thing moderation is best.

After reading "The rational male" by Rollo Tomassi, any place is better than Brazil and the book is good.

Well again the subject is a bit complex but I will try to help with some scientific factors.
A chinese study has indicated interconnection between sexual abstinence and peak testosterone in a group of men, and noted that only after the seventh day there was a peak in testosterone increase, here is the link to see more information.
A research on the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men - PubMed
That is, according to the study, after the seventh day there will be no significant improvement in testosterone increase (many thundersplace users use that study and ejaculate weekly).

On the other hand, a second study pointed to a group of men who stayed 3 weeks without ejaculation, in which case testosterone levels did not increase but in this case the testosterone level increased significantly during the stimulation of masturbation. The researchers noted that the fact that the brain had anticipated that they could finally masturbate caused testosterone to remain elevated throughout the pornographic film.

In that sense, the indication that the brain and testosterone have a slight connection to the primate stimulus and the reward.

And here is a study that demonstrates that it demonstrates the sex factor and sex abstinence (unfortunately it was done only in rats). Here is the sexual exhaustion of mice in amounts of cums in one day and the process of recovery of mice.
The brain changes given by the reward circuit took at least 4 days to reverse and the total recovery in copulation and ejaculation took 15 days (the abstinence period of 15 days led to an increase in that number).
Recovery from sexual exhaustion-induced copulatory inhibition and drug hypersensitivity follow a same time course: two expressions of a same process? - PubMed

Now data that I did not find scientific support but has direct relation is that when there is no cum the body reabsorbs the sperm being that it has substances harmful to the human body and given the pattern can increase the incidence of prostatites or prostate cancer.

In this context, I believe you can decide the ideal frequency for orgasm.

Well, I had something very similar to what you reported in that case. However, my mistake was do edging because I noticed that I did this in the form of exercise but in the case what happened was a prostatitis. The pre-cum fluid went into the inside of the urethra before the bladder, and what happened was that my penis was 40% erect with the swollen glans (as if the body of the penis wanted to ejaculate). But I discovered that this pattern only happened when I was edging, so I stopped and the symptoms disappeared.

Even if you take supplements to increase sperm volume (arginine for example), this would not be the cause of the pain (internal pressure of the testicles).
A good exercise for the testicles in my opinion is the mandigo’s stretch, you should try will help you a lot.

My opinion is that NOFAP is for men who want to control themselves. We are shaped by sex 100% of the time until in an irrational way. An example was this article: Testosterone makes men more impulsive | The Economist

It shows that men with high doses of testosterone are more impulsive and less rational. Besides the fact that we overestimate sex.
Leading to the side, NOFAP who will command is you from small daily, weekly or monthly challenges even in extreme cases get to the monk mode for example.

In addition to the sexual benefits I mentioned in the previous post, I will make one more comment:
An example of extremism in the monk mode, is the example of the genius Nicola Tesla, never had a sexual relationship, was vegan and dominated so many areas of knowledge and his perception was above his time.

For more concrete examples to our present reality, develop all this energy for something positive, such as: Studying languages, studying music, studying art, studying chess, studying about Nikolai Kodrantiev’s cycle, studying Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, become richer, etc.

This is all for example to be able to take the entrance test in MENSA. It seems silly all of this above but learning a new language and learning an instrument together with music theory can improve your memory and increase your cognitive ability and your IQ by up to 10 points each.
This is all possible with focus and mental continuity that NOFAP provides you. Because one way or another , your brain after 22 days, change some things in the neurological circuits giving you more attention, focus and pro-activity.

One note: The reward circuit, "dopamine" is behind the sexual desire, motivation and erections and not really testosterone is a problem. If the problem with erection is related to dopamine, I suggest adding also meditation to balance this condition.

By looking at all the above factors, you decide what is best for you and your happiness between doing or not NOFAP when and how. I’m really sorry, this subject is too complex and too detailed and unfortunately I need to improve my English and I just wanted to help.

Well as of today I am officially on month three. The main signs of nofap for me after the first week is a dull aching feeling in my glans and testicles which is most unpleasant. This has stayed the whole 3 month duration so far.

I am not sold on nofap at all, I feel the same as when I haven’t masturbated for a couple of weeks. I don’t think doing nofap for more than 2 weeks is at all beneficial, but I am doing it for experimental reasons.

Next month I will have earnt myself some quality time with a prostitute.

I need some help! I’ve been obtaining from ejaculation for almost 2 months because I want to build self control and also I don’t want to ejaculate too frequently because it can cause hair loss which I don’t want. I want to continue PE like stretching but every time I touch my dick, shit gets hard quick and I can’t get any length gains. Does anyone know what they’ve done about this?

I am very relieved to say, in 8 days time I will ejaculate. Throughout the last 4 months due to nofap I have experienced aching pain in my testicles, glans and lower abdomen.

Indeed, that is what has prompted me to come back to this thread. I’ve just finished a PE session and I have a dull pain in my lower abdomen, I am sure this is because my penis was ready to ejaculate due to the stimulation but hasn’t got it.

I am very glad to end this experiment I can’t imagine myself going more than a week without ejaulating again.

I am of the opinion based on my experience, that nofap is not at all a healthy pursuit.

Hi Bent_cock well if you’re of the conclusion that this isn’t healthy why continue for 8 more days. As you have obstained from ejaculating for over 2-3 months. What is the point as you have already proven you can nofap for a long time. In my humble opinion have a massive jack off relieve your balls.

Ha, thanks, I guess I am stubborn to complete the experiment. Once I have achieved the full 4 months, I am going to enjoy the fruits of my dedication with a prostitute as I don’t have a girlfriend.

It would be rather anticlimatic to just masturbate after all this time!

I was reading another thread where a guy was drinking his own cum, claiming it would have the up sides of nofap without the downsides…that is, if you don’t count drinking your own cum as a downside.

Bit too hardcore for me I think.

Extended “Nofap” can be a good deconditioning break if you had problems with overmasturbation and/or porn addiction. For people with normal patterns, I would no recommend it, unless your goal is to become a monk of some sort and or kill, tanscend or suppress your desires.

IMHO, overmasturbation and too frequent ejaculation are not good energetically and psychologically.
Porn addiction and frequent ejaculation make you numb and you lose your libido. But I do believe masturbation and edging WITHOUT frequent ejaculation are actually good for all kinds of aspects - expansion, “maintenance ” and nurturing of penile tissues (to avoid age-related natural shrinkage from non-usage), maintenance of sexual drive and testosterone levels, and also of sexual awareness and confidence.

On your last remark about drinking sperm, just let me add that there is a strange “disgust” with semen and/or sexual fluids in most people who have never given a second thought about this. We should be aware that sexual fluids have been “designed” by evolution to CREATE NEW LIFE, i.e., they must be of the best and highest quality material that a human body can condense and produce, no?

And unless one carries a STD or HIV, sperm is most probably one of the most clean and healthy nutrients out there. It is the basis to create a new life; wmen who have overcome their conditioned “disgust” reflex against sperm and who have realized the true nature of sperm, can actually become real sperm cravers and they suck you dry, every drop, believe me.

As of yesterday ejaculated with a prostitute and then masturbated once afterwards and once again today.

I feel soooo much better!

I really don’t understand the fascination with no fap.

I’ve just done 4 months and 2 weeks, never again!

I feel like I can actually focus on stuff now without thinking about sex all the time.

My PIs have also improved since beginning ejaculation and masturbation again.

My verdict nofap=self torture.

Hello.

I want to share my experiences in this thread so any person can decide what it’s better for themselves.

Well, I have tried no fap a few times in the past. My longest streak was of 65 days in march. I think I could see some “benefits” as keep intense contact eye with people. But that was all .. Actually, when I finish my streak, a couple days after, I had a sexual intercourse with a woman in a bar (lol)

Two weeks ago a decided to have another test with no fap but now I’m seeing that it’s very hard for me to keep the erections and this affect my routine. Also, how a said, I have been in this a few times and every time the no fap affects my peeing, it turns slowly.

I think this is not my thing, because no fap has just give me stress and a hard jelqing routine and the most important, I think have affected my prostate or something because I’m feeling a little pain between my ass and my genitalia and I definitely want to stop this.

Hi.

Tons of stuff on this subject on YouTube.
Check out “Klaus Hakala NoFap Flatline” and others.

Don’t dismiss no fap lightly - it’s turned my world around!
