anyone tried it? do you think that daily masturbation can negatively affect health?

I recently read on /pol/ that sperm is carried in cerebrospinal fluid and that fapping too much will deplete this fluid aswell as your mana

On the other hand I have read many times that regular masturbating greatly reduces the risk of (male) prostate cancer.

So /sci/, is nofap grounded in science or is it just a meme?

I think porn addiction had more influence on your psyche than the act itself of masturbation.

like sleep, diet, etc, its all about a rational level where you control your behavior rather than relinquishing that control to your animal instincts

This. Porn grossly distorts your view of sexuality, just delete your fap folder and rely on your imagination instead and you'll find you don;t need to do any of this nofap nonsense.

Also fyi fapping has many health benefits. If you're worried that you fap too much, it's just because you're young.

Yeah, I'm going to need a pretty big fucking citation on that.

>> No.8937883

The supposed physical and neurological benefits of nofap are probably bunk.
But with some reasoning, the spiritual benefits are self evident.

People make the mistake of thinking sexual desire is like hunger. That when it starts to overwhelm you, you can satiate it for a time.
The reality is that desire is like a fire. The more you feed it, the fiercer it grows.

That's what leads to frustration and angst.
When you stop giving in to lust, your desires quieten. That's why at the start of nofap, people struggle with it, but as they go on, they start to not even think about it.

People involved in internet cultur are immersed in lust almost 24/7. It really isn't healthy. That's why if you are an internet user, you need that chastity.
I think the best thing about the whole nofap trend is that it takes lust away from the center of peoples lives. Life becomes a bit better when you don't have this overwhelming hunger that can never be fully satiated at the center of it.

Too much is the same as not enough.
The real issue is self-control.
If you masturbate compulsively, without orgasm (just to get exhausted for sleep), several times a day, every day, grabbing or strangling rather than stroking your junk, without vitamins in your diet, directly to porn rather than being informed by erotica and then later fantasizing on your own, then stop it.

nofap is nothing but broscience. masturbation is a stress reducer, makes you feel better and more relaxed.

However chronic masturbation can be a problem, it is also a symptom of depressions, which could led to the low tiredness you describe.

Man I just frequently go from hot to cold and spend long periods or even whole showers at groundwater temp. The tingling sensation makes me feel good. And if I flex up and get all big as the cold water hits me my test spikes and my cortisol drops. Shits cash.
I masturbate like crazy
No fap is a meme after 4 or 5 days l. All the anecdotal reports of benifits are complete pseudoscience.
After some quick calculations I have determined that no fap is 92% a meme.

I did 10 days a while ago and felt no difference.

I've found it better to just do it once or twice a week rather than every day.

>> No.8938920

I did Nofap, and the results were positive for me.

My problem was that the masturbate every 4-5 days doesn't work for me. If I masturbate, the next 4-5 days where I'm not masturbating I'll constantly be having the urge or thoughts to masturbate and not be able to concentrate on my work. So I quit cold turkey.
I got less and less angry after about a month.

I think results may vary from person to person, not sure. Anyways, it worked wonders for me personally.

I'm inclined to believe it isn't a meme just because I find it insanely difficult to quit. There is an addiction element to it which by itself should tell you that it can't be too good for your psyche.

I managed four days a few days ago, definitely felt better in general but I got to the point where I was just browsing /gif/ mindlessly and going in threads that I normally find disgusting.

Quitting porn might be your best shot, make baby steps, the CSF thing is obviously bullshit.
