Nofap is stupid.

I don't feel better. Neither do I feel more energetic or like I have more testosterone. Nothing changes. Then why even bother? I feel the same with semen retention as without it.

The only thing that helps is having between 10% and 15% body fat, exercising, eating well, and avoiding stress.

Everything else is nonsense.

Fully agree, it's bullshit cope. But I am still doing NNN for the meme

its all farce

It boosts my confidence a little, I’m going to try to go without it for a month and see what happens. Haven’t ever noticed drastic improvement from it in the past though.

Just give yourself blue balls bro!

fuck no fap inject shit and fap all you want

Orgasms increase prolactin which has an inverse relationship with dopamine. Theoretically you should have more dense dopamine receptors and more available dopamine. This alone may not bring too much noticeable benefits if you have other lifestyle habits that reduce dopamine receptor activity, unfortunately.

Relationship between sexual satiety and brain androgen receptors​

Recently we showed that 24 h after copulation to satiety, there is a reduction in androgen receptor density (ARd) in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) and in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH), but not in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST).

Males rats were sacrificed 48 h, 72 h or 7 days after sexual satiety (4 h ad libitum copulation) to determine ARd by immunocytochemistry; --

This reduction in sexual behavior was accompanied by an ARd decrease exclusively in the MPOA-medial part (MPOM). Seventy-two hours after sexual satiety there was a recovery of sexual activity accompanied by an increase in ARd to control levels in the MPOM and an overexpression of ARd in the LSV, BST, VMH and MeA. Serum testosterone levels were unmodified during the post-satiety period.

TL;DR certain androgen receptors in your brain become less sensitive to the effects of testosterone after cooming.

Also something to note: many other androgen receptors ELSEWHERE in your body also become less sensitive to the effects of testosterone. At this current moment I can't provide any concrete proof of this - you just either take my word for it, or you don't. The choice is yours

Increased estrogen receptor alpha immunoreactivity in the forebrain of sexually satiated rats​

Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) participates in the neuroendocrine regulation of male sexual behavior, primarily in brain areas located in the limbic system. Males of many species present a long-term inhibition of sexual behavior after several ejaculations, known as sexual satiety. It has been shown that androgen receptor density is reduced 24 h after a single ejaculation or mating to satiety, in the medial preoptic area, nucleus accumbens and ventromedial hypothalamus. The aim of this study was to analyze if the density of ERα was also modified 24 h after a single ejaculation or mating to satiety. Sexual satiety was associated with an increased ERα density ----

TL;DR cooming makes certain parts of your brain more sensitive to the effects of estrogen. Once again, this study only proved that it makes parts of the brain more sensitive to estrogen, but it makes many estrogen receptors in your body more receptive to it, not just your brain. But I can't yet provide concrete proof for this.

Orgasm-induced prolactin secretion: feedback control of sexual drive?​

Recent studies from our laboratory have investigated the hormonal response to various forms of sexual stimulation, including film, masturbation, and coitus in both men and women. This series of studies clearly demonstrated that plasma prolactin (PRL) concentrations are substantially increased for over 1h following orgasm (masturbation and coitus conditions) in both men and women, but unchanged following sexual arousal without orgasm.

Supporting this position, chronic elevations of PRL (hyperprolactinemia) produce pronounced reductions in animal sexual activity, and significant reduction of libido and gonadal function in both men and women.

Water is wet but orgasms increase prolactin. Lets see what does this hormone do:

Prolactin has a wide variety of effects. It stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk (lactation)
In general, dopamine inhibits prolactin [AND VICE VERSA] but this process has feedback mechanisms.
Elevated levels of prolactin decrease the levels of sex hormones—estrogen in women and testosterone in men.
