Does nofap have any influence over your gains?

So nofap = more testosteron?

>>42627246
it's 100% placebo, some people do not understand this and it "works" for them.

it's exactly like the people who go gluten free and "feel so much better!".

>>42627321
yes
>>42627325
idiot

I think the increased energy and focus that some people experience from nofap would ultimately lead to more gains and increased productivity.

>>42627351
>>42627325
So is it just make belife?

>>42627378
I don't think so. If people are experiencing results and benefits that could lead them to a better quality of life is it really fake?

>>42627246
Not fapping means more yest. While this is true, the amount of Test you loose after fapping is on a irrelevant scale unless you bust out mutliple nuts in a single day for weeks.

Now the real deal about nofap is Zinc. having more Zinc=more gains and fapping alot can actually affect your zinc levels enough to affect your gains to a degree.

>>42627509
considering placebo effect can work and still placebo it's still fake.

I guess nofap can work if you're porn addicted but anyone below that should actually address the real problems in their lives and not use nofap as a problem solver.

No
>Did just fell for the meme?
Yes
>>42627321
No, Test rises but in an amount so insignificant that it might as well never have happened, then goes back to baseline and long term test tanks
>>42627335
Yes
Still no
>Idiot
Except he's right.

>Not fapping means more yest. While this is true
It isn't
>the amount of Test you loose after fapping
You don't loose test after fapping.
>Now the real deal about nofap is Zinc. having more Zinc=more gains and fapping alot can actually affect your zinc levels enough to affect your gains to a degree.
Nutrients you loose after fapping are only in insignificant miniscule amounts and are easily replenished by eating

Nofap is great for breaking porn addiction. The rest of the claimed benefits are kinda overrated.

>>42627642
I think nofap could be considered a very powerful supplement in enhancing ones quality of life. Maybe not so much as the magic pill that destroys all problems that some people claim yet still very useful.

>This meme-article again

The writer of that post blatantly shills for a for-pay porn site *RIGHT IN THE ARTICLE*, and then goes on to pretty much say, "Well, I think nofap probably benefits people a lot too, but just not for the reasons that these guys think it does." Justification: None. Just opens with a huge argument-from-authority fallacy and then tries to handwave away all of their work with a bunch of wild momscience speculation about the "real" reason why people are benefiting.

The only evidence-based argument *against* nofap revolves around studies showing that blowing your load every now and then is important. And these are all irrelevant, because the YBOP people only propose nofap as a totally temporary (usually ~90 day) method to make quitting porn easier.

The YBOP people are totally upfront about the fact that more research needs to be done to fully understand what's going on, and in fact generating more interest in properly studying whatever is behind the ever-growing mountain of anecdotes is a huge part of what they're all about. It's truly bizarre how the unscientific hacks who always rail against them are so emotional and defensive about saying everything is perfectly fine with their habits.

>>42628117
It is bizarre. Why are people worried about wether people are beating their meat or rather NOT beating their meat.

>>42628603
It's a literal shitpost

>>42628117
Sexual stimulation raises T. This is shown in sexual media studies, social conversation with women (both negative and positive reception), and sex.

There are also cardio benefits.

It's 12.5%, which is about what Ashwagandha gives.

>>42627246
fapping makes you lethargic, so yes. your gains suffer if you are or feel tired.

It does over nutrition that the semen contains that's needed for your body, and you're just wasting it pretty much for nothing by just jacking yourself off
