Hey /fit/ what do you guys think about Nofap and stopping masturbating and watching porn. Supposedly your body experiences a large boost in testosterone after 7 days without fapping. Is this all a load of bullshit or is there any truth in it?
There are so many things on this great green planet of ours that we can think of and focus on and derive happiness from, and this is not one of those things. Human sexuality is a conversation in of itself and condensing it into 'dont jack it' as a fitness tip that supposedly (but does not) affect you in a meaningful way or ignite a change in physical form or strength. Let us know how your struggle with will power and self control goes.

Fapping releases dopamine. If you don't fap you hold on to dopamine for all other activities in your day. So you will get more out of your day if you don't fap than if you fap every day. I see fapping as cocaine, which does the same but in a different way ofcourse.
Porn can be a problem if you get depended on it. Unconsciously your mind might associate the women in the porn vids with women in real life, generating distorted images or expectations about women and sex. Hard to measure if this is the case for everyone though.
Finally, the sexual energy that will build up in your body if you stop fapping for several days can be used in other features of life. For myself I felt a drive to interact with random women that i havent felt before. If you can control your sexual urges you can use this energy in the gym, for work and for doing daily stuff like householding.
If you want to keep calling it a meme, please try it yourself for 7 days. If you can't, it proves you are addicted to it. If you are having a hard time, but want to try it, first stop hardcore porn, then stop porn completely, then reduce your faps per week and slowly reach your nofap status.

Just start meditating every day and actually do something that has tangible benefits.
I guarantee you that everything you think you might achieve by not wanking you will absolutely achieve through meditation... And more.

Nofaps positive effects are sadly not backed by any reputable science sources.

But what if you practice both meditation and nofap? Is that the key to enlightenment of the body and mind?
