Alright /adv/, simple question: Are there any negative effects

Brain fog
Lack of concentration
Numbing of the emotions
Can't talk to girls
Addiction leads your body to increase the tolerance so expect more and more graphic porn to fap

Nothing besides only getting off from it.

This, this is true but it isn't really agreed on in science yet since there hasn't been good studies on it. But take my word for it. I've tried nofap on and off and the times I try nofap I DO feel better, yet somehow I can't escape porn. We're trapped bruh.

>brain fog
How can I tell I have brain fog?

>Lack of concentration
I've always had lack of concetration since I was a kid.

>Can't talk to girls
I've given up on them anyway.

>more and more graphic porn to fap
It was actually kind of the opposite. When I really got into hentai in my teens I wanked it almost exclusively to Guro. My tastes became more normal as years went on.
Not to say that I wank it only to vanilla nowadays, but I prefer far more tame stuff than most anons.

I figure, maybe several years of doing it multiple times per day can have some negative effects?

>>17542556
How do you not get dry my man? My max is 3 after that nothing will come out.

After a few times nothing comes out but it still feels good.

Sometimes if I overdo it I get a dick-cramp of sorts where I feel like something's stuck in the urethra and won't come out. Take a few minutes to pass.

Generally, the medical community considers masturbation to be a normal and harmless act. Most likely, if you go to a doctor and ask him if you should masturbate he's going to say "sure". If you ask him if it's OK to masturbate 5 times a day he's going to say "That's a little too much", but he won't have any idea why.

Because this is where the opinions split and they have no certain knowledge. We don't know for sure what effects excessive masturbation has on the human body or how many times a week/day is too much. Some people think it's fine to masturbate twice a day. Others think masturbating 3 times a week is too much.

Our bodies may respond in different ways to masturbation. I've seen people who said they're more focused, sleep better, have more energy and all that since they stopped masturbating or dramatically lowered it. Others (like me for example, I recently did a nofap for one month out of curiosity, masturbated 1-2 times a day before to pretty fucked up porn) see no notable difference other than what you'd obviously expect. The only difference I've noticed is that I'd get random boners more often and every morning I'd wake up hard as a rock (rarely happened before). And the first few times I came after the nofap I had much more intense orgasms, but that's about it. I didn't sleep better, I didn't have more energy, my fucked up fetishes were still there (although I would get excited easier by pretty much anything. Got excited from looking at random women in skimpy or tight clothing on the street, this didn't really happen before unless they were incredibly hot) and I didn't get superpowers either.

Still, logic dictates that masturbating 3-6 times a day is bound to have some negative effects. Orgasms are pretty intense experiences, there's a lot of stuff going on in your brain and body during one so experiencing them so often is bound to have some (most likely) negative effects, but the medical community isn't sure as to what those are (or if they even exist, there aren't many studies on this subject). And if they don't know some faggots on the internet sure as hell won't give you a very accurate answer, the best they can do is tell you their experiences. And since these experiences tend to vary you should take everything with a grain of salt.

So, if you really want to see how masturbation affects you you should try stopping it for a while and see the difference. A month should be enough to get rid of the "withdrawal" effects (which, for me were just that I was constantly thinking about masturbating for a week or so). And if you plan to do it the best way to avoid "relapsing" is to keep yourself busy, anything that requires some concentration or effort. Shitposting on the internet for 10 hours a day when you're trying to do a nofap - bad.

The day you have sex (if you even get to that point) your dick won't even flinch. Goodluck.

TIL I'm a chronic masturbator...

how do you do it?
I hardly find porn arousing enough.

Thanks. I didn't think tripfags that weren't total faggots existed in this site and I've been here a long time.

>>17543269
I don't know. Boredom I guess?
When you spend all your waking hours on 4chan, you're bound to see lewd anime girls here and there and get aroused.
