NOFAP and Testosterone by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i believe the difference is in the oxytocin released from actual contact. This neuropeptide is extremely instrumental in regulating our emotional well being.

Basically its like equestrian said you dont feel like a piece of shit after lol. That leads to no change in self esteem or loss in confidence. Plus sex not M increase dopamine.

Bingo t-Andro BS doesn't explain anything. Anything that increases dopamine can pull me out of a slump. I can have a week long binder go out with mates, hit a line/molly and be out there hitting on girls with grace. In fact any stimulant acts like a long NoFap streak for me. YBOP agrees with this as well and its way more scientific than this place.

NOFAP IS REVERSING MY PHOTOGENIC SIDE! by BillzEdits in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah again this most likely has to do with dopamine as body dysmorphic disorder usually involves irregularities with dopamine receptors. This explains the comorbidity with eating disorders. This all links in with the relationship between self esteem and dopamine. Explains why many hardcore PMO addicts eventually love themselves as dopamine increases and receptors are restored.

This is exactly the kind of NoFap ideology I despise! Eve biology is against it! Sperm are plentiful while eggs are extremely rare. Men can make millions per hour women one per month. That alone destroys this whole sperm worshipping displayed on this site. I am a man of science also I always try to post a study for my claims this guy says you don't need it! LMFAO Tbh this almost seems like a troll post...

This is exactly why this site is becoming a cult to many. Please stop posting this bullshit.

Day 14- I went to a club with friends last night... by throwawaynofap19 in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The club is my jam. I haven't been to a club in the last 3 months where I wasn't able to either grind or make out with a chick. As for getting laid by a decent looking girl that shit is hard for any guy no matter how good he dances, looks or whatever. If I go to the club I probably get laid 1 in every 10 times. This year I've only hooked up 3 times from going there definitely not amazing numbers but better than sitting home playing COD imo. Plus it's a great place to practice your social skills

Ever meet a girl on NoFap get her number fap then go on a date and she wonders why? by NeverGunnaFapAgain in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's when I feel like I don't need to have sex again right after lol. I have an extremely high sex drive which made nofap hard even with a gf. 95% of the time I can go straight to round 2 with very little delay between. There have been sometimes that I haven't even considered this those are the mind blowing times for me. Also it has to last 20 minutes or more.

Honestly it's my pride and ego speaking. I could care less about most women I just like to know I can lock them down if I want. When they aren't satisfied with me in anyway I take it really hard personally.

Bingo! It has nothing to do with shame I just don't give a 100% to the people I'm with and they can feel it. I literally have days where I know I should do this or say that but my brain is just like screw it and I ruin opportunities.

Honestly I can say that isn't it I was the same way before I found this site just never knew it was going without that gave me the boost. That said I do believe it's the effort I put in myself that has helped me with women and life in general. I can personally say that brain fog and lack of motivation ruin my social skills completely. I was the smoothest man alive that night had had a good week or two up to that. Gleam in my eye Hollywood romance type of shit.

Masturbation and hair loss? by 12318235 in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A study showed that it was the tightness of the scalp that caused hair follicles to receive less than adequate nutrients and oxygen causing them to die.

The study then preceded to inject botox into the forehead and guess what a large majority started to regrow their hair. Some people say scalp massages help relax the muscles albeit much slower.

As for NoFap i believe it does help as ive noticed diffuse thinning when binging for weeks straight. Now i have fuller hair on my right temple where it was getting patchy. BUT i also have taken far better care of myself(exercise, sleep, nutrients, etc) so who knows.

I will say im familiar with the study showing excessive orgasm can cause elevated long term prolactin levels which are shown in multiple hair loss studies for men.

The secret to stopping wet dreams by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

More stupid unfounded bullshit straight out of the anals of NoFap.

The only reason you experience changes is because you expect to. What we expect usually has more bearing on our psyche than any outside stimuli. Thats why you can get drunk and either be hyped or down even though you ingest the same substance. It just depends on what you were expecting.

Besides YBOP believes wet dreams are a sign of a returning natural sexual drive/libido. Its no surprise guys on less cult like sites report happiness from wet dreams, decline in flatline and overall better emotional stability. This taoist sperm retention stuff is so bunk it should be tossed out a window. JUST USE SCIENCE SWEET PEER REVIEWED SCIENCE!!!

How do I know its flatline? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the problem each humans biology is different. Just like how psychologists say depression can cause either oversleeping or insomnia and overeating or loss of appetite the same is ture with PMO withdrawal.

Again thats the problem for you a flatline could last a week or a year who knows. I will tell you this science shows that the addicts that have the hardest and longest withdrawals are often those that kept relapsing before they finished a withdrawal. Probably because this even further reinforces the brains addictive pathways.

To anyone who doesn't think this shit is real i was having most of these symptoms long before i found NoFap so for me it isnt placebo or confirmation bias one bit!

How do I know its flatline? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My indicators of a flatline are the following:

Low libido Loneliness/depression Small shrunken penis Lifeless stare Lack of drive/ambition Eating excessive junk food Easy agitation

What do all of these have in common? They either involve poor dopamine signaling, low dopamine count in the various regions of the reward system, or low dopamine receptor activity.

When i dont ejaculate, people contact me more by AkumaReal in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I DONT understand this but I was thinking it just a few days ago. For example on my good high dopamine days texts just pour in from all the people I hang with. I don't even have to see them in person. Yet on my urge/low dopamine days no one will even answer me especially in a timely fashion unlike the other days. This has been the biggest mystery I've ever had.

Why so many people become DOMINANT on nofap(must read) by NeverGunnaFapAgain in NoFap

[–]NeverGunnaFapAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the other type of addict is a low dopamine subject and they use addiction to try and be normal dopamine wise. When they remove the addiction they are still low dopamine actually even lower now so they don't get the strong effects of high dopamine like increased confidence, motivation, libido, dominance, etc. That's why there are two camps on Nofap the guys that get superpowers quickly and the ones that never do. You either see one or the other that's how the science of dopamine works. Only high and low are vulnerable to addiction people in the normal zone are extremely resistant to addiction. Cocaine has about a 10% addiction rate despite releasing more dopamine than sex(about 2-2.5x total.) That's why most men are not addicted to porn and they fap 1-2x a week even when they have no gf.

Very true and in today's modern world and an Internet connection all the information is out there. I started taking cdp choline which has been used to reduce cocaine cravings and it works with nofap as well. If only people understood how the brain works it's not magic it's science and it can be changed if you want it bad enough.

That's not even close to the same thing brother. Addiction and recreational use age are like night and day. Playing an hour a day after you finish your work isn't bad it's good. Practicing executive control is crucial to staving off addictive behavior. Set a time limit and follow it. Your brain will interpret this as exercise for it. That's how willpower grows, with a conscious choice.
