where does /fit/ stand on nofap?
It's a meme.But NoFap is a good placebo that cures your social autism
>>39133260
nofap literally lowers test, fapping increases test
>>39133260
Discipline is necessary for self-worth, which generally helps with confidence, and is otherwise a good thing to have.
Nofap works as an exercise in discipline. See also freezing showers, consistent cardio (if you dislike it), consistent meditation, consistent practice of a skill (ie a musical instrument).
Your test is probably not low; if you're worried that it is, take some vitamin D (look on examine.com)
Porn can affect your erection quality, if that's what you're worried about, for obvious reasons. In any venue, where your body responds to a stimulus, if you continue increasing the intensity of the stimulus, your body will require higher-intensity stimuli to have the same response. Just as you aren't going to continue to get a pump with 25s for 10 reps if your 10 rep max is 90, you aren't going to get a high quality erection from making out if your new normal stimulus is tranny ass-gaping.
This is a good talk on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU
; but the concept behind porn-induced sexual issues is so intuitive that I'm not sure you should need it
Stop watching porn, use your imagination, and do nofap if it seems like the right sort of exercise in discipline for you; if not, don't.
Masturbation is a mortal sin. You are storing up those heavenly gains, right?
Nonsense peddled by christians
I fap like 3 times a day and would fap more if I had time. It's never made me feel beta or lazy or anything like that. I don't have ED either and even if I did I don't care about 3DPD.

Fapping peddled by the sex industry and people who want the rest of humanity to stop producing children.

Nofap is dumb.
Noporn on the other hand...
The entire point is that you stop choking your dick and go chase women. It isn't going to give you magical powers or any shit like that.
>get job
>so much adrenaline I wake up after 4 hours of sleep regularly despite lifting and running and eating melatonin
>wanking is the only thing I can do to lull me back to sleep
>sometimes have to wank to get myself to sleep, then when I wake up after the first REM cycle I have to wank again, then again after the second REM cycle
Feels weird.

this.
habitually jacking it to porn is similar to drug addiction. hedonic capacity is the ability to experience pleasure from 'average' things (food, sex, social interaction) and by marathoning porn you're basically killing your brain's reward response. people who claim nofap increases confidence really feel this way because they're less depressed and more engaged and functional -- artificial stimulation (porn, drugs) inevitably leads to depression and withdrawal.
I get ed if I fap so I abstain. But it makes your loads huge. If you haven't busted in at least two days there will be so much cum. I've cum over a girls head with her on her back while on my knees in between her legs. Standing I could probably go a couple feet.

"there are no peer-reviewed studies to support your hypothesis"=/= "your hypothesis is false"
requiring higher levels of stimulation to achieve the same physiological response isn't limited to sex; it also happens to people who watch a lot of horror movies, and people who watch a lot of ASMR videos, and to people who go on a lot of roller coasters.
Nothing mysterious is going on here; to accept that porn is bad for your sexuality doesn't commit you to a stance that moderate consumption of moderate porn is not okay, or to a stance that porn is morally wrong--rather, it's just to accept that our sexual arousal works a whole lot like our other arousal systems. No surprises.
>>39134444
IMO porn has more of a draw than being a cinemaphile or adrenaline junkie, and it's more desensitizing and impulsive than avidly pursuing a hobby, even to the point of obsession.
I agree with the whole soft-science-fag-using-academic-pandering to-discredit reasonable-hypotheses thing though.
>>39133596
When I use my imagination I just end up fapping over old women
>>39133260
I dont have any of those issues and I fap twice a day in between fuck sessions
I think i maxed out yesterday. Felt quite confident around this gurl im usually timid and shy around. Today i feel scared of her so i will proba ly do a wank.
>>39134693
Why don't you just get a girlfriend man
All these little fucking ejac cucks ITT hahaha jesus christ.
If you fap:
You have less energy
Less test
Less zinc
Social anxiety
Weak limbs
Sickly skin
Sickly hair
Your a perv who nuts on himself with his own seed and everyone who sees you knows it
If you do not fap:
Big saggy nuts
Balmy, warm skin
Stronger, fuller muscles
Social confidence
Healthy sex drive
Stronger erections
More energy
If you cant make the decision, then you are a dumb swine
>>39133355
It spikes after 1 week but goes to normal levels after that
>>39134800
wrong
if you fap:
you no longer need to sleep
you grow a larger dick, fuller with blood in each erection
libido skyrockets
vibrant energy around you
naturally release excessive pheromones to attract mates
if you don't fap:
you need minimum 16 hours of sleep to function at all
pale, sickly skin riddled with bedsores and acne
your penis shrivels into your body, eventually disappearing completely
you smell of old cheese, not even the hungriest wisconsonite would look at you.
>>39133260
it's scientifically bullshit. not fapping for a week results in a small boost in test level, but that's it. you can nofap all you want but if you don't release your body is going to automatically do it for you (wet dreams, seepage, etc).
all these "natural testosterone boosting" techniques will only increase your test levels by very small percentages at best. it's like tweaking the shit out of your stock 90s honda civic to get maybe 5 horsepower more.
>>39134444
> "there are no peer-reviewed studies to support your hypothesis"=/= "your hypothesis is false"
no, but
there are no peer-reviewed studies to support your hypothesis = your hypothesis is just a hypothesis (and will remain so until there is a peer-reviewed study to support it)
>>39134580
so your objection to my point is that isn't stated strongly enough?
>>39133863
Requesting zoom out picture of the earth, solar system, galaxy, universe all to Jesus saying "dont fap" pls
>mfw i do nofap but this argument is still the weakest sauce ever
>>39134800
>You have less energy
Because ejaculation releases serotonin in the brain, among some other brain chemicals. These brain chemicals relax your muscles and signal your brain to sleep
>Less test
Highly depends on the individual. Not everybody's brain chemistry is the same and masturbation in itself has zero effect on your total testosterone, but it can affect it in indirect ways. Again, it depends on the individual
>Less zinc
Not by a huge margin, it just takes some zinc to produce the semen needed for ejaculation
>Social anxiety
Depends on the individual
>Weak limbs
No, this is false, masturbation does not weaken your limbs and it never does
>Sickly skin
Go outside more
>Sickly hair
Go outside more
>Your a perv who nuts on himself with his own seed and everyone who sees you knows it
And there's nothing wrong with that, everybody does it.

But it increases how receptive your androgen receptors are to testosterone (most likely). Basically you require less testosterone to get the same effects as before
>>39133260
It's the same level on pro-skub and anti-skub.
Some /fit/izens are pro-fap and others nofap. And then there are always those in-between faggots.

Crashes well below actually.
Is there any refutation on the androgen receptors argument? So far it's the only argument I've heard that has any basis
