LDAR Does fapping give you severe PTSD and depression?

[Braincel14w]

Yes I get depressed after I fap but only when I haven't fapped for a few days or more. It does take me about 2-3 days to recover emotionally after orgasm.
When I fap every day or every other day I feel emotionally fine but less confident than after a few days nofap and less able to maintain eye contact.
I also start to feel depressed after a week or so no fap.
No matter which way I go I can't win and can't find an optimal state. I now just fap when I really feel I need to usually every 3 or 4 days roughly (I'm mid 30s).

Yes and I wish I had known earlier. I spent 4 years of my life devoid of any energy and always feeling like shit because I was fapping everyday. I wonder if my life had taken a more positive direction had that one aspect of my lifestyle been different.

Guess what, fapping is not the only thing that releases dopamine. If what the nofap cult is implying was true, just hanging out with friends or eating food you enjoy would make you a high-inhib pussy, because m-m-muh dopamine is bad. Guess what, sex also releases dopamine (whaaaaaat?) and foids who fuck a different guy every two days aren't going around complaining about brain fog and no motivation.

Face it, you're just coping and it isn't even a good cope.

Foids usually don't fuck a different guy every two days and the ones who do look like soft drug addicts for a reason, there are actions that release dopamine like doing exercise and they aren't in any way harmful because there are mechanism that regulate it so you don't fuck up your sensibility to it.

In sex the regulator is the capacity of you getting sex, with Tinder and porn your capability of getting an orgasm doesn't matter as you can have it whenever you want.

When I'm on high nofap streak days I feel calmness and I have no desires in looking for pleasure (food, porn, vidya, etc) because everything I do feels nice, that's how you live when you have a correct sensitivity of dopamine in your life, it's the best cope I can have.

The fap makes you have a huge dopamine discharge, which makes you feel high. As soon as dopamine falls again, depression comes. It's the same effect as using a heavy drug. That's why you feel so bad after a fap. It has nothing to do with guilt or remorse.

In addition, the loss of minerals will make your hormones work poorly until the minerals are reestablished. You can not recover the minerals in a single day. The body simply can not absorb more than a certain amount of minerals per day. Soon, it will take you 15 days to recover all the minerals lost in ejaculation, and that's if your diet is rich in minerals. If your diet is low in minerals ...

homeostatis boyo. Your body automatically tries to balance its chemicals

This doesn't matter, it was just an example.

who do look like soft drug addicts for a reason

Oh yeah? What do people who have daily sex look like and for what reason?

they aren't in any way harmful because there are mechanism that regulate it so you don't fuck up your sensibility to it

You are correct about the downregulation mechanism, which is a completely normal physiological response, and it is not exclusive to dopamine receptors, but I have no idea why you think it doesn't apply to masturbating as well. There is no substantial difference in the mechanism behind feeling good between exercising and masturbating, other than the fact that fapping is quicker and easier. A healthy person does not feel the need to masturbate every 2 hours.

In sex the regulator is the capacity of you getting sex, with Tinder and porn your capability of getting an orgasm doesn't matter as you can have it whenever you want.

What's the difference between getting sex every day from your gf, or from random women from Tinder? Yes, you can watch porn and fap whenever you want, just as you can eat McDonalds and lift weights whenever you want. Do you feel the need to eat chocolate and ice-cream every 30 minutes because you're depressed or a fat fuck with no restraints and an addictive personality? You might have a problem then, nobody is denying that, but don't blame chocolate for that, just as you shouldn't blame masturbating for all the failures in your life. That's as bluepilled as it gets.

The point still stands. Masturbation is normal and abstaining from it for long periods won't give you x-ray vision, regrow your hair or turn you into a pussy-magnet Chad.

But I do have magic powers

 

[tooth monster]

But I do have magic powers

What kind of powers?

 

[voiceoftreason]

I'm afraid of balding so I minimize fapping as much as possible.

 

[Honeypot]

What kind of powers?

Lie detection, mind reading, sharingan, time dilatation and genesis, they are all tuned down meme versions from having a functional brain tho.

 

[sepelion]

Your right, but it will raise your chakras and vibrational frequency making it possible to attract those things through subliminals and law of attraction

That'd be great if we replaced "The Secret" DVD's at the library with gay jerk off porn

 

[Reimu Hakurei]

I can barely feel anything from fapping now. I wish i could fap for the first time again.

 

[Blacktarpill]

I fap twice a day and its my min fap.

 

[this is hell]

yes and no. being an incel gives me severe PTSD and depression, and as an incel all i can do is fap or escortcel.

 

[Deleted member 13785]

I try and fap at most once every three days. I don't feel depression unless I do it three or more times in one day then the depression becomes exponential. It feels better doing it less often but I can't say it's helped me much, now I'm just anxious most of the time, I hate the feeling of denying myself one of the very last things that makes me feel good.

Read the book "Cupids Poisoned Arrow"

I am all for reading books, I was looking to see if I could find this one but then I am starting to consider...
Wtf could this bitch even know about a males orgasm?

 

[FrameCell]

If you're on TRT.. you gotta fap or else you'll feel like raping

The sex drive that artificially high testosterone gives you is nearly uncontrollable.

[GetFucked]

NoFap does nothing for me

 

[Firefly]

Excessive, yes.
But once a day or two days actually helps to lower the risk for cancer and with your mood.
