/sci/ - Science & Math

Sounds about right. NoFap works. Try it out my fellow /sci/entists.

>>10578789
didn't the (single?) study that said testosterone peaks after a week then crashes say that it stays at that low level? pretty sure op conveniently forgot to mention that part

>>10579021
Are you dumb? The OP pic said that, read again, nigger.

>>10578789
>I'm a medical student who has found a breakthrough in health science and instead of publishing it in a journal to significantly boost my career I will just post it on 4chan for the entertainment of autists and retards.

Yeah man sounds totally real.

>>10579021
Link to the study? Maybe it just doesn't oscillate at the same level after the first week after the initial new androgen receptors are introduced at the end of the first week. Metaphor would be how you get beginner gains really fast but after that progress gets a lot slower.

>>10579029
Well I mean publishing all that shit would be a lot more of an effort and require a lot more documentation and putting your neck on the line then just posting your musings about nofap's effects on testosterone on an anime image board.

>>10579035
>I could boost my career and potentially become one of the most influential scientists in my field because my findings would be revolutionary, but it would just be soo hard to like sit down and gather some data... it would be a whole thing. Yeah, I'd rather not get any recognition, just post it on 4chan. Easier that way. Yeah, it increases the odds of me getting scooped but as a scientist, I have no fear of getting scooped ever.

Man totally makes sense and adds up. I think you should cut off your dick to ensure you never masturbate again.

>I could boost my career and potentially become one of the most influential scientists in my field because my findings would be revolutionary
Do you actually believe thats what would happen if someone was able to definitively prove what screencap guy is hypothesizing?

>>10579054
In academic circles nofap is seen as incel autistic pseudo science. If you were the one who proved it not only would you be literally dick slapping the entire scientific community, positioning yourself as the smartest guy in any room, but you would also captivate the minds of said incel autists, who would unironically make you even more famous, buy your books, products, etc.

>>10579059
Yiiihaaaa

>>10579059
Holy shit, how would you publish this? Its pretty obvious nofap has some real effect on testosterone if the scientific community is that retarded it shouldn't be that to dickslap them and become the new JBP. I'm a psych minor so some real if limited knowledge of this stuff and screencap's theory sounds plausible at least so it could be a starting point.

>>10579074
*shouldnt be that hard

>>10579074
Well, I hope you can sense that my point is that nofap is bullshit because if it wasn't then anyone would just rush to publication and get the free recognition.

But if you must, medical science has some of the lowest statistical standards. p < 0.05 is considered good enough for publication. So literally get 5 random guys, pay them not to masturbate, and see how you can measure the bullshit. Brownie points if you do this by taking pictures of their face like OP so you can just photoshop your way into publication and we can successfully take a shit on the dumpster fire that is modern statistics.

>>10579081
Could you point me to a decent guide on how to apply to a scientific journal. I guess I'd need to research how to measure the testosterone in the bloodstream and amount of androgen receptors. Also I guess how to make sure the guys are actually following through on it without being overly invasive, because I actually want to know for my own health purposes. Overall doesn't sound that hard though and summer is right around the corner and will have plenty of time to plan and organize it.

>>10579081

Not him, but I don't think being known as the NoFap guy is as attractive as you strive you make it seem here >>10579059 . It is a funny post, and I kekked. Salute, my friend.

>>10579081
Its pretty common sense within the fitness community that nofap means higher testosterone. I would expect a bunch of beta male scientist nerds that can only get their rocks off through masturbation to be biased against it though.

>>10579099
I've only ever published in math journals but from my experience, many online journals take submissions even from students but you have to go through their process which means they check your bullshit but in medicine the standards are low as fuck so don't worry about this part. Just do it. Just google every single journal that accepts submissions from students and then just take a writing class so that your paper is not dumped because you don't know how to structure a scientific paper. Get over that one hurdle and we may achieve our goal. You'll get published research, I'll get one more example for why we should bring the fire squads to universities and literally genocide the psychology and medicine departments. Good luck my friend.

>>10579103
The fitness community is filled with pseudoscience, mainly because you people are just retarded. That's why when MLMs and other malicious actors are done advertising to women, the next group in their list of ignorant retards is the fitness community.

>>10579045
>>10579059
You make a fuckton of assumptions about some 22 yo med student from spurdoland based on pretty much zero information. You assume that humans, in general, have a tendency to do the most rational thing, which is simply not true. You assume that associating himself with something that you yourself described as something academics think of as "incel autistic pseudo science" carries no professional risk as long as he can prove he's right. You also assume that he has no other opportunities that are maybe not as lucrative but come with orders of magnitude lower risk.
I don't believe in nofap btw, I just had to reply because your argument is so cringeworthy.

>>10579025
no, he writes about a repeating cycle

>>10579119
>You assume that humans, in general, have a tendency to do the most rational thing
When it comes to money and status, people are very rational and calculating. Take the most retarded group of people you can think of and just think about their actions in relation to protecting their status in society and you'll see that they act completely rationally. Humans are this way.

>You assume that associating himself with something that you yourself described as something academics think of as "incel autistic pseudo science" carries no professional risk

He can publish under a pseudonym and then when his paper gains notoriety and the stigma is removed (because scientists are retards and will jump on any bandwagon and start researching nofap once they see it as acceptable) he can just reveal himself and he'll be a literal science superhero. Trust me, scientists are very stupid.

>>10578789
You can tell how """""scientific""""" this is by considering how he just assumes that prolonged abstinence has positive effects, copies down some random information about how testosterone is formed and a random site note about zinc, probably a go-getter in the dedicated /x/ thread.
Bonus: If the supply of a hormon rises it is NOT common for the bodies sensitivity to rise, too. In fact its opposite (e.g. addictions/diabetes).

>You'll get published research, I'll get one more example for why we should bring the fire squads to universities and literally genocide the psychology and medicine departments. Good luck my friend.
thx fren I'll post it on here if it makes it onto one

>>10579146
Zinc is really good for you doot learn about nutrition you're clearly a skinny fat little nerd.

>>10579148
Godspeed.

>>10579130
>When it comes to money and status, people are very rational and calculating.
Is this a fucking joke?
>He can publish under a pseudonym and then ...
Yeah I'm sure your weird little plan is the one every scientist would follow given similar circumstances.

>>10579166
My plan is not weird, it is literally the only possible outcome. It is the only thing that a human being would think in that situation. I mean, I proved my point in this thread already. Just by laying out the facts that are informing my "plan", there is now some guy who will go out there and dedicate his summer to researching nofap and getting published. And good for him!

That proves that all it takes for a human to follow the path I have outlined is to have the same level of information I have about the subject. So anyone even barely knowledgeable about nofap and where it stands culturally would naturally follow this path.

>>10579099
>Also I guess how to make sure the guys are actually following through on it without being overly invasive, because I actually want to know for my own health purposes
Do rats jerk off? Maybe you could look into performing this experiment on some animal where you can force them not to jerk off, and then have a control that orgasms every day.
