Are there any actual scientific benefits of not masturbating for extended periods of time?

>> No.5051423

no, it's entirely placebo effect, don't listen to the /b/tards

>> No.5051425

I don't know about benefits, but you'll definitely be more horny, at least intially

>> No.5051453

Pretty much this. Although arguably it's not ENTIRELY placebo, most of what you would experience as changes in your overall energy or productiveness would be placebo

After 3 days or so of not fapping your testosterone increases significantly, but decreases drastically again after 5 or so days.

Can't be bothered to google the study.

That doesn't sound very plausible. Surely it would only increase progressively?

after a week of not fapping I get extremely horny to the point where I'd be able to get off looking at a boob looking object..

>> No.5051478

I doubt there's any scientific benefits, more like more motivation to go slay some pussy

i went a month without and found myself attracted to solid 3/10s and the like. it was a horrible experience and i never wish to be that desperate for sexual contact again

A guy made a TED talk on this.
Talked about studies and peoples quotes on it.

But during the talk you find out he has a site called stoptfappingnow.com
(or something like that). And that he is economically invested in the subject.

Do a quick background check and you find out a christian.


Now what do your gut tell you?

No, and not masturbating may increase your chance of developing prostate cancer because ejaculation reduces the amount of testosterone, a risk factor for prostate cancer, in your body.

>> No.5051531

>>5051510
masturbation frequency and prostate cancer may be correlated but has it been shown that it reduces testosterone?

>> No.5051539

These two goes together.

Don't believe it just cause its a ted talk, they have had some really stupid shit on there before.

It's not the fapping that is the problem, porn is.
