Addiction to masturbation is a real thing and having easy access to hardcore pornography that can stimulate a drained libido over and over again definitely doesn't help.
So yes, coomers do exist IRL.

Ruins motivation, destroys working memory, makes you sex obsessed and hypersexual and is only going to get worse the more it is indulged. You aren't riding yourself of sexual desire when you indulge. On the contrary, you are fueling it.

Abstinence alters glutamate signaling in rodents, increases dopaminergic drug sensitivity, and decreases mating frequency in later life when reintroduced to the opposite sex relative to control . There are no studies for humans. We can only extrapolate. Presumably it can reverse much of the damage but the fault that was created will remain. Neuroplasticity is one of the biggest memes and goes away by 26 for most of the brain with the exception of areas related to habit. You're fucked if you're quitting after your mid 20s to the point where severe pharmacological treatment is warranted if you want even a slight chance of being free from this worthless draining and enslaving habit.

Don't believe anything you read on this website.
Fapping decreases chance of testicular cancer.
Sure if you're a fucking weirdo who has to do it more than once a day it might be a good idea to decrease that down to one but that's about as far as anyones nofap should go.

It's bullshit backed up by word salad. Some people like the fucking coomer meme guy have a pretty major problem with porn addiction but unless you personally feel like it gets to the point you can't function normally it's nothing to worry about.
You'll be more "sex obsessed and hypersexual " if you haven't drained your sacks in a few days and that might make you distracted and absent-minded.

Jesus Anon you really are a fucking cumbrain, you've become next to illiterate, practically normie tier mental impairment. TLDR, reduce the frequency of whacking off before you hit 26 otherwise the habit will stick so hard it will be extremely hard to break.

Probably not. One suspects this is merely people pulling examples from cultural stigma relating to masturbation and edge cases of people who overdo it noticing they feel better when they stop (who then fail to notice that there's a middle ground between "too much" and "none at all").

It will be harder to form the habit, but if you do then also harder to break it. Your brain becomes less able to pick up or discard habits past your mid-twenties.

Wrong.

It's completely reversable because side effects of overfapping are not severe at all. I used to jerk off like twice a day, now I do it once or twice a week at the most. I never got into extreme hardcore porn even though I watched porn for decades. I have no trouble getting hard with women. Shit, just kissing makes me hard. If you're spending hours looking at porn and death gripping 4 times a day then you have other problems. Normies watch porn, women watch porn. Everyone masturbates

How do you even find the energy? I fap at most 3 or 4 times a week and that's good enough for me. I like having my nightly sessions were I focus all of my energy and that gives me really explosive and amazing orgasms, I can't understand how someone could dry themselves so often. Doesn't it lose its magic?
