on the difference between sex and fapping - my personal experience is that sex gives me more of an emotional sense of well-being. like I'm more relaxed and focused. I feel more confident if i'm fucking regularly. Jerking off just gives me like a couple hours of not being obsessed with sex.

what the real enemy is is porn tho. I never really gave it much thought until a year or so ago - I cut that shit out and it had a huge affect on me. I was having a lot of sex, but also looking at the tubes a lot too. shit fucks with your dopamine levels and brain structure itself.

Porn also raises your standards making you less satisfied with the average women you're likely to bang.

don't know if it's placibo, but I haven't blown my nut since fucking on sunday. I'm too aggressive. I think it might be hurting my game.

[Donald Duck]

Tomorrow will be a week I haven't ejaculated. Not noticing a lot besides being more aggressive and wanting to fuck girls a lot more. I'm also a bit more aware of things.

I feel exactly the same and im on day 7, tommorrow is the only night i can go out until next weekend so if i dont hook up im gonna self release.

This isn't about hormone levels, but there is at least one way in which the body discriminates between sex and masturbation - semen discharge resulting from sex has a higher sperm count than that from masturbation.

Not jerking off makes me take weird decisions. 4's and 5's seem like 8 and 9...... Jerking off keeps my mind clear

[alecks]

i feel great from not jerkin for a while.im nearly on 8 days.il post my observations as i go/if this thread stays alive

same, I haven't jerked it in 8 days.
I might be hitting up a party tomorrow so I'll restrain myself from ejaculating tonight.

[StraightMackin]

its because people rely on jerking off instead of real women, and people become so accustome to jerking off that they lose the confidence to approach, when they stop, the body reacts and it starts to reduce inhibitions to the brain (like alcohol) telling it needs to find ways to release asap and thats the motivation everybody is talking about

[XXL]

it's very interesting how much physiology influences our behaviour and receptivity. we like to say that we choose this and that, that we have standards, that we are attracted to this not that, that we're cool now cause we got game now however it's all just a mindfuck. once jerking/porn is cut off all that bullshit goes out of the window and real instincts come into play. 2 weeks on jerking diet and every guy switches to direct game : )))

after week off i too got more aggresive, alert and i deal with shit in more straightforward manner.

[flashbang]

If I don't jerk off for 7 days straight, I'm unable to sleep. I keep tossing and turning in the bed feeling restless. Unless I jerk off I'd just waste hours in bed not sleeping. At least jerking off helps to tame the beast temporarily so I can sleep that night. Other than that though I find that it's good to save up your chi because it makes sex feel better and gives you more motivation to score.

[alecks]

im the opposite,im sleeping like a baby for the moment (higher test = better sleep) but i havnt been horny in the last 2 days.its weird,its like i dont even have a dick ahha,cant feel a thing.but im definately more agressive,im snapping at small things. Also my workouts are getting smashed proper

TLDR: Rhonda Rousey likes to bang a lot before a match.

Quote:

A study from Georgia State University's Department of Psychology sides with Pliny and Rousey, stating that testosterone levels in both males and females "increased across the evening when there was intercourse and decreased when there was none."

Emmanuele A. Jannini, a professor of endocrinology at the University of L'Aquila in Italy, agrees. He says sex stimulates the production of testosterone, thus boosting aggression.

"After three months without sex, which is not so uncommon for some athletes, testosterone dramatically drops to levels close to children's levels," Jannini said. "Do you think this may be useful for a boxer?"

[CynicalContrarian]

Just as long as you're not jerking it to Ronda Rousey.

Rather 'handsome' gal...

What if for men it was useful to hold in the energy to empower them but for women to absorb the energy of a man to become empowered because what is sex if not a transfer of energy in the end where we give and they receive .

[tomzestatlu]

So where´s the truth? Does no-fapping increase or decrease testosterone level? I think that it can increase it in short-term (lets say 1 week).
But if I decide to cum once a week (or even less), wouldn´t my testosterone decrease? I heard something like the more you cum, the more testosterone is created.

Some extracts from a medical study on why not losing semen is a means of developing strength:

The semen contains substances of high physiological value, especially in relation to the nutrition of the brain and nervous system. If resorption of semen through the wall of the female genital tract has a vitalizing effect on the female organism, the same should be the case in the body of the male in which it is formed and conserved. And conversely, loss of semen must deprive the organism of vitality and valuable substances necessary for the nutrition of nervous tissue, such as lecithin, which has been used therapeutically with great success for the cure of neurasthenia resulting from sexual excess.

The gynecologist Hegar, considers the "sexual necessity" myth an illusion, while Ribbing, another eminent gynecologist, points out the needs for sexual control and continence. The noted physiologist, Marshall, in his "Introduction to Sex Physiology", points out the need for such restraint over the reproductive function and the sublimation of sex energy into higher cerebral forms of expression, as was the case with many intellectual geniuses of the past, who led continent lives. Dr. L. Robinowitch, a prominent American neurologist, says that "sexual continence is not only harmless but beneficial".

"You say: `I do not understand the very function of the sexual apparatus.' It has two functions: Internal Secretion, which is primary, and Reproduction, which is secondary. Any other use of these endocrine organs is a perversion which will reap its penalty in the form of nervous disorder and premature old age and death.

These facts indicate an intimate relation between spermatozoa and the cells of the cerebral cortex, absence of the formation of the former leading to decline of the latter. There is evidence that spermatozoa, when not discharged, are resorbed into the blood-stream and carried to the brain. Both in their chemical composition and their elongated form, they have a remarkable similarity to brain-cells, which, like them, lack the capacity of reproduction, in contrast to most other cells of the body which have this capacity. Could spermatozoa, passing to the brain and spinal marrow, have a relation to the mobile neuroglia, which likewise move about by flagellated motions of their tail, and which are potential cells of the central nervous system? This is an interesting speculation. Norret must have had some such thought in mind when he remarked, "The resorption of what Dr.LeCamus called a mass of microscopic brains is a source of vigor and longevity."

That the semen contains substances of great physiological value, especially in relation to the nutrition of the nervous system, is clear from its chemical analysis, which shows that it is extremely rich in lecithin, cholesterin and phosphorus, the chief constituents of nerve and brain tissue. It therefore follows that the withdrawal of these substances from the circulation by seminal discharges (voluntarily or involuntarily) must have an adverse effect on the nutrition of nerve and brain tissue and result in disturbed functioning. Such biochemical consideration support the view that loss of seminal fluid involves lowered nutrition of nerve and brain tissue, and, when excessive, to nervous and mental disorders. The remarkable similarity in chemical composition between the semen and the central nervous system indicates such a relationship. Older physiologists suspected this fact.

From the foregoing, it is clear that there is an important internal physiological relation between the secretions of the sex glands and the central nervous system, that the loss of these secretions, voluntarily or involuntarily, exercises a detrimental effect on the nutrition and vitality of the nerves and brain, while, on the other hand, the conservation of these secretions has a vitalizing effect on the nervous system, a regenerating effect on the endocrine glands and a rejuvenating effect on the organism as a whole.
