What if you get sex multiple days per week, does that negate the positives of no fap?

Main reasons for no fap seem to be:

- Giving up porn and rewiring one's brain to have healthy, sexual responses to real women in real life.

- Increased energy and motivation due to semen retention.

If no fap encourages you to seek out new girls to bang then this is positive.

But if all you do is spend all your time chasing girls while neglecting other areas of your life like work/making money then no fap would be detrimental. Sometimes it's good to be able to have a quick wank and then get back to work.

nofaps benefits come from it's up-regulation of DHT receptors, this is why guys who are prone to male pattern baldness start losing their hair on nofap after about 3-6 months and why a lot of the confidence/libido/happy feelings are the same as proviron. A much easier way to upregulate your DHT receptors is to just supplement glycine and you won't have to worry about not fapping or downregulating everytime you have sex.

Unless you have a porn addiction I find nofap to be a very inefficient compared to glycine which is about $5 for a 1 month supply there is no sense in punishing yourself. If you really want to take it to the next level then add 12.5mg of proviron for about $10 per month and you're at a whole new level.

[The_e_man]

Redbeard, it should go without saying that every nofap thread will be inundated with bro-science galore.

[The_e_man]

Here's my two-cents. Placebo effect is still better than nothing! nofap doesn't cost money or waste time.
So for those that are practicing nofap and are experiences positive results, all the power to you brothers. Even if it is just a placebo effect, a positive effect is still a positive effect.
For the more cynical / critical thinking / scientific-minded / evidence-based crowd, we may not be swooned so easily.

That being said, I can see one instance where nofap would have great importance. For those that have an extreme porn addiction where their dopamine / pleasure receptors are so desensitized by constant masturbation to hardcore porn that they can no longer orgasm unless watching a midget amputee shove a firecracker up an elderly woman's ass while peeing all over herself.
If this is the case, then a break from porn / masturbation is a great way to help those receptors in your brain reset back to normal.

Cheers lads

False and misleading advice.

Not one man, among the tens of thousands that has done NoFap (and has spoken about it) has reported hair loss.
In fact, the opppsite is true. Many report hair regrowth after years of hair loss.
If you want the benefits stay away from all medication.

Quote:

"...But concerning glycine, no report had until now investigated the possible control of neurosteroid biosynthesis, particularly 3,5-THP secretion, by pharmacological agents of the glycinergic system. Therefore, the present work constitutes the first demonstration indicating that glycine, acting through Gly-R, stimulates 3,5-THP production in the rat SC. Applications of graded micromolar concentrations of glycine generally involved in glycinergic neurotransmission (Legendre, 2001; Kirsch, 2006) induced a dose-dependent increase of 3,5-THP biosynthesis in the rat SC. Furthermore, this paper also shows that gelsemine, a structural analog of strychnine, is a positive regulator of 3,5-THP formation in the SC."


"...Therefore, it appears that the chloride ion influx induced by glycine or gelsemine via Gly-R activation may indirectly cause an intracellular pH modification allowing the stimulation of 5-reductase and/or 3-HSOR activity in spinal nerve cells. In support of this hypothesis, we observed that at certain concentrations (1 uM and 35 uM), glycine strongly enhanced 5-reductase activity leading to increased amounts of [3H]5-DHP. Other concentrations of glycine (70 uM and 140 uM) mainly accelerated 3-HSOR activity and the elevated speed of 3-HSOR enzymatic reaction generating high amounts of [3H]3,5-THP did not allow identification of the transient increase of the intermediate steroid ([3H]5-DHP) level 3 h after the incorporation of [3H]PROG into SC slices."

"...Glycine and the neurosteroid 3,5-THP are known to regulate several important neurophysiological processes such as pain and anxiety (Akwa et al., 1999; Patte-Mensah et al., 2004a, 2005, 2006; Zeilhofer, 2005; McCool and Chappell, 2007; Pellicer et al., 2007). The neuroactive steroid 5-DHP also exhibited neuroprotective properties in various experimental models (for review, Roglio et al., 2007). Therefore, even though further studies are required to specify gelsemine effects in vivo, the fact that gelsemine exerts a potent stimulatory action on 5-DHP and 3,5-THP biosynthesis suggests that gelsemine and medicine produced from Gelsemium sempervirens may be interesting compounds to investigate for therapies of neuropathological disorders evoked by disturbances of the central inhibitory transmission."

If people are enjoying nofap then more power to them but the benefits will be gone once you start having sex on a frequent basis because it's not the lack of porn that's giving the benefits it's the lack hormone response in your body due to ejaculation. Now if somebody has a porn addiction then yea nofap is the way to go but if you're like most guys and skip through a 1 hour video in 5 minutes then glycine is probably a better option.

I started suffering hair-loss the same time I started going to the gym. Is it because I started going to the gym? Well, it MIGHT be, but it also may be that I'm going to be a bald bad-ass just as my dad and my grand-dad and his dad, and I started on my path to baldness around the same time just because.

TL;DR: Don't go to the gym boys, it will make you bald

1st, that last link is to a website written in Chinese. 90% of guys here won't be able to read it and verify if its content sounds legit or not. Do you speak Chinese btz ? Also, the fact it's from China is already a bad sign. The internet and message boards in China are fully monitored and censored by the authorities so even if it did sound legit I still would not trust it. But this brings me to an interesting point. Porn is illegal in China and they have both a very productive workforce and a high birth rate, so they are definetely masturbating a lot less than us.

2nd, the reddit link you posted links to various threads....many of which are started by a "trollish" type first posts and then loads of dudes piling in contradicting OP and saying nothing negative in regard to hair loss when doing NoFap. Meaning the overall consensus of trusted men doing this is still the same. There are zero negatives to NoFap except getting through the flatline stage.

3rd, the various medical and governmental links you posted on the benefits regarding medication. Yeah, they are legit, I will give you that. But these are the same "official" sources telling you things like vaccines have no harmful side effects on babies and climate change is real. More importantly, the pharamceutical industry has been pushing medications for decades to produce postive results in your own body that you can produce yourself without taking anything.....it just takes longer. You can take pills to lose weight or you can be a man and work at it for months. I did it the hard way. Big pharma wants you hooked on that stuff like a drug pusher. But I assure you, most addictions and small mental/physical problems can be overcome without medication. This is why the placebo effect is real, documented and actually quite common.

4th, and most importantly. You have been on the forum for 2 years and have only 39 posts to your name. Yet, I notice you have a long history of endorsing various online pharamacies, defending medical procedures such as plastic surgery for men, and generally talking very often about various niche medications which you seem to know a lot about (including exact dosage and the exact price which you always remember to include in your posts). Do you work in that industry ?




My advice to men reading this post remains the same. Real inner healing takes both time and work on yourself improving both your lifestyle and habits. Using medication for shortcuts just shifts your addictions and does not bring lasting change.

Most important of all....trust what thousands of other REAL men are experiencing and talking about....not what the government and medical establishment is telling you. Their track record in giving information which is beneficial to men's health is abysmal and I will never trust them again.

1. I've lived in china and can read enough to make sense, that + google translate for anything I don't understand is enough for me to get a grip on what's being said. As for Chinese productivity, lol as an entire country yes but they also have 4 times as many people. Break down that productivity to per worker and it plummets, China has a certain way of doing things and while it can look good on paper the real world results are very different. You can checkout that documentary on Walmart's struggles in China to get a better idea. As for censorship, you seem to be a little paranoid that the government would care what a bunch of people avoiding masturbation are doing, they don't give a fuck, you could sell organs if you wanted to as long as you don't question gov. policy they don't care. As for accessing porn, everyone in China knows how to get around the firewall with a VPN. You can buy a ready to go VPN stick with a month worth of service for about $2. With some sites you don't even need it.

2. I never said there were any negatives to nofap, I just think a more effective option is going with glycine and fapping and having sex anyways. Like I said the effects aren't due to fapping or porn but ejaculation. If you get 3 fwbs and have sex 3 or more times a week all of the benefits of nofap will be gone because you're ejaculating again. It's not an either or option, there is no reason why you can't take glycine + do nofap or hell just eat more chicken skin, bacon, or egg whites, those foods have tons of glycine in them.

3. Proviron was just used as an example to show how the effects of nofap are due to DHT because it's synthetic DHT and the effects of proviron and nofap are exactly the same, read nofap forums, then read steroid forums, and you won't be able to tell the differences in reports of mood, confidence, social anxiety, happiness, etc between the two. One doesn't need to take proviron, they can just focus on upregulation via glycine or nofap.

4. No I don't work in that industry I just bothered to do a little research, i've never created a thread about any supplements just offered my insight when people asked about NAC, modafnil and nootropics. As for cosmetic surgeries yea I don't see anything wrong with that if somebody feels it will help them feel better. The 2 examples I gave in that thread were for a guy who had an over/underbite which is as much health related as it is cosmetic related and my dad who had PRP injections done for hair growth which is a good alternative to a hair transplant. If you're thinking I'm shilling for big pharma or surgeons/supplement companies then I'm doing a pretty shitty job at it with 4 out of 39 posts in 2 years regarding anything to health.

As for your comment for guys looking to improve themselves, I agree, there are no magic pills but neglecting perfectly safe, cheap, and proven supplements to reach your goals faster is a little bit like going to the gym and not taking protein or creatine. Sure you can do it 100% naturally but if you have the option of speeding things up why not do it?

I just came off a 35 day no fap streak. I noticed major improvement, but of course a large part of it could be placebo effect.

First couple weeks I felt pretty anxious/ edgy. I was having boners all the time.

By start of week 3 or so, I had a massive desire to approach, be social, or chat up women. I started going out more. I had massive boosts of self-confidence, and it reminded me a lot of my 18 year old self. I started to pick up on non-verbals of both men and women. My posture also seemed to improve. I walked with swagger and I felt a bit taller. My voice dropped a bit too.

Still, I had a lot of nervous energy, so I started sprint training, and I cut out any sort of junk food. It's quite easy to go at least a month on no-fap if you work out, limit screen time, and go out instead of staying at home. While maybe I don't need to go a month again, one to two weeks is actually great.

I felt more aggressive too, but who knows.

[quaker13]

Broscience is strong on this one. Fapping is and has never been the problem. The problem is sustained exposure to porn. Porn is the culprit not masturbation. I struggle with abstaining from porn like most men, but unlike a lot of men what I see in the porn is 100% applicable to me IRL. I try to not hack off more than once a week to porn or IG but I’ll be the first to say I definitely get weak. Also, if I go too long with sex or jacking off or both I could really really make some bad decisions. It’s a pretty tough line to walk

Most men don't fap, they fap and look at porn. Getting porn access down to zero is crucial. But for a lot of guys you got to get rid of both. No fap gets your mind out of the porn mindset and you start to appreciate real women instead of pixels. At a certain point you realize you don't need porn and that it's gross.

[curious_goat]

Just FYI, this thread is being discussed on the /r/SemenRetion sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/Semenretention/...ing_semen/

The female attraction you will experience from semen retention is very real - sometimes alarming. Tho the benefits of semen retention go far beyond...

Men have practiced it naturally as a way of life, going back thousands of years. Only in recent times we have lost touch. Few men see the importance of retaining our life energies.

[Coffee]

I saw a chart a while back regarding no fap. It was something like you're test peaks after a week and a half but then goes back down. So ideally you'd masturbate every week and a half to keep your test high or something. I'll post the image if I can find it.

It would explain why women are more drawn to you the less you ejaculate (or do it more timely).

[felix_vagabondo]

The increased success in pickup game is, as Roosh put it, "Jerk Off Management 101."

Quote:

What’s most important is having high motivation to getting laid, a very sound predictor of future sex.

That you are noticing increased IOIs is the direct result of women responding to your elevated levels of horniness, which a man displays involuntarily, and women instinctually detect, which excites and entices them. But more importantly, it is due to the fact that your semen-engorged testes are driving you like a draft horse to deploy your senses, carefully scanning your surroundings for the nearest, hottest available cunt in which to drain.

A man who hasn't ejaculated in 7 to 10 days is like a high-powered radio antenna that is single-mindedly trained upon the women around him, with an Eagle-like clarity and forceful attention to their behavior and IOIs. On the other hand, there is nothing more yawn-inducing than a pickup attempt when PUA doesn't actually have the present physiological urge to perform a sex act. (See: Urban Dictionary, "Golden Cock Syndrome")

[Er Miqué]

I have 43 days without fapping and to be honest I got to say it helps with Game a lot.

First, the horniness pushes you to make contact and advance; generally I got to say my kino escalation has gotten way better. Second, you get more energy, at least this happened to me; I suppose it's because the nutrients semen is made of: if you don't release them the body will reabsorb them. Third, for some reason my game gets better and I have more confidence in myself.

Semen Retention has given me a lot of energy: horniness is the fuel of man. When I get horny and I decide to exercise to channel that energy my performance is way better.

Try it: if it works for you, nice, if it doesn't, give it some time and it will.

The broscience is strong in here. How about instead of no-fap you practice healthy or moderate fap. Instead of complete abstaining why not jack once or twice a week and go easy on the anal gaping vids

There's already a well-established thread on the RVF forum dedicated to discussing the merits of practicing no-fap, but I feel very strongly that this one issue is so significant that it warrants its own thread: the phenomenal effects that many men have reported whilst engaging in abstinence from masturbation, including myself, especially in terms of generating female attention. These effects, at least in my own case, have mostly taken the form of extremely strong IOIs from random women on the street but have also included a heightened receptivity of women to being approached.

Since I hit day nine of my no-fap journey, I went from invisible in the eyes of women to suddenly being noticed, with women casting me discreet but still noticeable side glances at first. Not only this, but the couple of women that I did approach who'd I'd noticed doing this were extremely receptive to my indirect approach, but ultimately conceded that they had boyfriends, even though they'd been on the verge of giving me their phone numbers. This phenomenon is in stark contrast to how women had behaved for the first six months of my time in Leipzig, i.e., by rolling their eyes if they noticed me making eye-contact with them and looking visibly pissed off, or otherwise flicking their heads away quickly if I glanced at them as if they were trying to clear their hair of wasps. This was pretty much the same experience that I'd had with British women on the street, so it's something I'd already come to expect from women in the Western hemisphere.

But in the last few days, these IOIs have been getting stronger and much more obvious. Today after I had finished work and headed into Leipzig, I had a very cute girl in a beret, probably around the age of 30, make sustained eye-contact with me as she was passing me in the opposite direction who flashed me a wry smile after we'd eye-fucked a little. About half an hour later I saw the same woman and, bingo, the same procedure as last time, but an even more sustained look this time. I resolved there and then to do a direct approach, but I lost her after she had quickly disappeared into one of the bookstores. Even crazier things happened after I did my nightly shopping tonight, though: I was in one of the aisles in my local supermarket and become aware of a woman, student-type in her mid-20s, suddenly looking at me as a I turn around. Feeling extremely horny after having ramped up my zinc this morning and registering day 28 of no-fap, we just stare into each others' eyes for what seems like an eternity, but which was probably around 4 or 5 seconds. I could truly cut the sexual tension with a knife and she ended up biting on her bottom lip as I was doing this. I also had other girls checking me out in the same supermarket, girls giving me long stares down the aisles. The cherry on the cake came when I was at the checkout and a MILF carrying a leopard-skin bag and kitted out in denims kept glancing up as she was putting her shopping into her bag and smiling directly into my eyes. I look around me to check she wasn't perhaps smiling to somebody she knew behind me, but there's just this woman who seems totally oblivious to what's taking place. The woman in the leopard-skin bag even seems to break out into a little jig as I stare back into her eyes. This all happened in the past half-hour or so and I feel like either I've truly lost the plot and ended up in la-la land or this no-fap is some potent shit that really is still far too much under the radar on this forum and elsehwhere.

If there is one thing that has transformed the attention I get from women it is no-fap and I've tried a boatland of things: working out, dressing better, nootropic stacks, different types of openers and venues, but no-fap takes the cake by an insane margin. It's so potent in terms of the positive attention you'll receive from random women, you'll think you've crossed the rubicon of sanity. As I'm writing this I can hardly believe what I've just experienced in the last few hours, it's that mental, it's that intense. I feel like wherever I go now, I'm a casino.

Aside from the benefits of vastly increased female attention, the benefits to other areas of your life, such as vastly increased energy, improved cognitive ability and confidence are also worthy of their own threads, but I don't have the time to do that here.

You guys really need to get with no-fap programme, especially those amongst you who are struggling to get IOIs and positive responses from approaching women. It's been nothing less than a game-changer for me. As for any guys that have experienced these results for themselves, it would be good to read more about them here.

I am on MONTH 3. It's placebo, completely in you're head. I've also actually approached women the whole time on no fap, apart from a couple conversations that could have happened anyway, nothing to report.

The other "benefits" are also nonsense. You guys are like members of a delusional cult. At some point you have to ejaculate anyway, whether it's through masturbation or sex, same outcome.
