About Nofap

[yndra]

The NoFap nonsense peddled by Red Pill accounts, which have come into vogue in recent years under the influence of losers like Andrew Tate, is nothing more than getting cucked.

Research shows that masturbation does not lead to statistically significant changes in total testosterone, free testosterone, or cortisol levels. While there may be a slight effect on free testosterone, this fluctuation is not substantial enough to be a cause for concern.

As long as it is done in moderation and not excessively, there should be no negative effects. In fact, it is well-known that masturbation can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

However, the real issue lies with pornography, which I strongly advise avoiding. There are two key reasons for this:

1. The Pleasure and Reward System: Dopamine is released whenever you experience pleasure. Similar to the effects of drugs, frequent exposure to intense stimuli alters the brain's reward system. Over time, this creates a need for stronger stimuli, increasing the risk of addiction.
2. Cognitive Dysfunction: Porn addiction has been linked to impaired cognitive function and poor decision-making. Most importantly, it conditions individuals to prioritize immediate, short-term gratification over larger, long-term rewards.

well it's not exactly the same thing. research shows that testosterone levels fluctuate minimally between the 2nd and 5th days of abstinence. however, on the 7th day, there is a noticeable peak in serum testosterone, reaching 145.7% of the baseline.

this suggests that short-term semen retention—around one week—could have some benefits. anything beyond that is likely unnecessary or exaggerated.

You will know if you are going too far. Like if you watch BBC and start assuming all white girls love black guys. Or obviously cuck porn.

I retained for about 6months, never touching porn, and it fucked me up a bit. My test crashed pretty poorly and when i looked at porn again i had pretty much developed ED. No matter what i watched for like 5 days my shit wouldnt get up. Its back to normal but tbh ill never retain for over a week now.

Maybe i was close to reaching nirvana or an absolute spiritual enlightenment but im never jeapordizing my dick again like that.
