​@SDhillon831 If no fapping actually improved your lives then why is it increasing in numbers? Its a trade off for a release men arnt getting from their partners; if they have any. Don't use no fab as a coralation to happiness. It's a factor like anything else. Jerking it constantly should be taken just like over eating, it's a no Brainer. It feels good to fab and eat what you want. That isn't happiness and neither is obstaning from your desires. You cannot stop desiring. Their are no answers to happiness. It is a day by day, moment by moment, year by decade thing. Some people are blessed with a full life of joy others are not. It's a choice It's not a lifestyle l, either you will he happy or you will not. You can choose your outcome for a probability increase but what ultimately decides is fate, destiny, the luck of the draw, whatever you want to call it.

For me it did nothing. I did it for 3 months, but then I stopped because I didn't see any difference in energy, motivation, or confidence. But I already have good energy most of the time so I guess that's why. Maybe for someone that has low energy it could help. But for me, didn't change a thing.

As a man who has been in the medical field for over 25 years, I don’t think the lady knows what she is talking about. First of all, she is not a man so she doesn’t know what it feels like mentally and physically to do no fap as a man. Second of all, The man on the panel actually has a better understanding of the benefits of no fap, which are mental and spiritual benefits that ultimately lead to physical benefits. So, although it may not raise testosterone levels initially, cutting out porn and fapping is overall a good thing for the sole reason that the time you would be spending fapping can be replaced by physical exercise and sleep which have been scientifically proven to increase testosterone levels.

But cutting out porn is a different thing. You shouldn't combine both together as essentially required, one does not require the other. Avoiding porn is important for mental health etc and it avoids an addictive response which is of course healthy.

No fap is like a diet (like someone else has said) except you have to stick to it. It's not a 1 month thing, it's benefits are primarily seen when you adhere to it for much longer periods. Your passion comes from your sex drive. Stop fapping and you'll regain your passion for things, Give it a year. Lastly and as an added note, She (Malik) doesn't know what she is talking about. I understand that it's possible she's studied male anatomy for years but the reality is that no female expert on male physiology will beat any man actively studying their own body for any length of time.

[@Arden7one]

So if fertility in semen rises after 5 days retention, since semen retention is an ancient discipline, one could argue that ladies can "sniff out" from a far a man who's content within themselves while either practicing or not "no fap" - it will then depend on the lady who's noticing - is she into fidelity, celibacy etc or not. I.e a different lady will notice in a differing way, a different aspect of a semen retaining man's behaviour. It's all very subjective, but the biological "glow" benefits a man gets when he retains for longer periods are undeniable.

I think today, most people have atleast more than a few addictions. People today are hooked on alcohol, caffeine (me), tobacco, food, games, XXX content, masturbation, social media, news, etc. I have had my fair share of addictions, some of which I still deal with. While I don't think there is anything wrong with masturbation or watching XXX content on occasion, I do think that when you see yourself retreating from life to indulge, thats when you have a problem. With content being more and more prevalent today than ever before, there's no secret as to why so many men are addicted to it. IMO when you find yourself unsatisfied with your own relationships because they dont resemble what you see on screen, then you have a real problem. Just like how women today are hooked on social media and validation. For me, real power comes from controlling those addictions.

what I joke. When I was doing 2 trainings a day my testosteron was so high I had to masturbate min once a day. I was still very productive in all areas. When my life become sedentary is when I noticed my libido dropping but out of habit still chocked the chicken. After I had no energy to do anything during the day. Reintroduced cardio and voila my libido back up and now I just feel great after a good fap and can be productive.

As a man on NOFAP I completely disagree with this woman. She has no idea what she is talking about.

[@nustyiv616]

The part where she said the sperm in your body will start mutate and be unhealthy might be true. It’s like leaving a carrot in the ground for too long and it’ll start to rot.

[@btlim4316]

What did she miss? I tried nofap and after like 2 weeks I stopped feeling horny. I almost think I could become celibate like a monk. I dont have any issues with porn by the way. I did nofap because i thought it would make me super super horny. My dick would be hard just looking at women. Turns out the opposite, I was nofapping myself to celibacy!

[@slatanek]

@nustyiv616 Sure, but the idea of NOFAP is not to hold it in and then use it to impregnate a woman. As soon as you start having sex you'll get rid of the "rotten" load and the newly produced sperm will be fine. That's what she's leaving out and it makes is sound scary - "oooooh the DNA in your sperm mutates" so you better watch out or mutants. So what? It's just sperm.

[@jappie3143]

Just because there is no research, it doesn't make it less true. Especially in this case, when you got thousands of men saying the same things. Before gravity became science, there was still gravity. To add a final piece of critisism, it takes sperm around 2 months to fully mature, and be at its healthiest (yes this is science).

[@harrycampbell7594]

Yes what you say is true but her main point was doing it for too long can lead to mutations in your sperm and cause dna damage , it doesn't matter how many people are abstaining from masturbation you're not gonna feel or notice changes to your dna and genetic structure , you could be doing something that effects your offspring and not even yourself , this is scientific fact aswell , you are also an animal , you need some form of sexual release whether it be by yourself or with a woman , you can also be addicted to sex , I don't see anyone talking about abstaining from sex , it seems to be mostly people who can't get a girlfriend and they're addicted to porn so they stop masturbating and that's great , but if 99% of them had a girlfriend they wouldn't be abstaining from sex with them, yes sex with another person and masturbation are vastly different but they are also similar in alot of ways , the fundamental point is that you shouldnt abstain from ejaculations for too long because mutations can happen in your sperm , so whether you masturbate or have sex it doesn't matter , just don't be an addict to either of them , the fundamental issue here isn't that people are wanking it's addiction 😂

I'm the King 👑 of no-fap. My dog is no-fap too.

[@Frauter]

More sophisticated versions of nofap involve actively practising full body and specifically pelvic relaxation and regaining a sense of a loving relationship with one's own body which doesn't so easily flip into the getting-off spiral. It's like karezza with yourself and can be profoundly healing. If done correctly, I would say it simply is healing, not can be. Nocturnal emissions go away when you practise deep relaxation and self-love at the physical mental and spiritual levels. In fact it can be a great gauge for how well you're taking care of yourself. + all the added calm, confidence, perspective, positive ambition ..

[@DaGleese]

I hate the argument "there's nothing to prove it in the literature". So there's nothing to prove it in the literature, therefor it must be wrong? What about the the combination of my own personal experience along with the overwhelming group of people who have tried it and see results? Maybe there just isn't anywhere near enough clinical research into nofap?

[@Kamilledavid]

There seems to be an overlap with self improvement in general. If someone goes from doing nothing, to setting goals, working out, eating better and just overall moving in a more positive direction its hard to say how much of an impact nofap actually had by itself. When you look at the whole picture nofap may be negligible. That's why we have controlled trials.

[@MrShaneSunshine]

I abstain from abstinance and i am all the better for it!

[@Scott-M1]

It all originates with this fascination of control. Everything needs to be controlled. Control your thoughts, control your body, be controlled by others, control, control, control. Torture yourself for whatever reason and you will become a wise man or some nonsense. Psychologicallly though, Why control at all? When thoughts take authority over other thoughts, what value does that have, really?We never seem to notice the inner deception there. A bit deep but yeah, control is self-deception born out of division in my view.

[@0688hall]

I appreciate this discussion and how they respectfully debated their points. I do disagree with the "sperm dies off" part because they view the sperm once it's ejaculated. If doctors were able to observe the sperm inside the testicle then that would prove the "dying off" part. I experience after 60 and 90+ days you absorb the excess to heal the other parts of the male body.

[@themasculinismmovement]

Generally speaking abstaining from masturbation altogether isn't actually great, masturbation is actually a good thing when done in the right amount, which is generally up to but not exceeding once per day (except for special occasions). Same goes for watching porn, if you can't jerk off without it it's a problem and you should probably abstain, but unless you let yourself get addicted it's not bad at all, especially for guys who wouldn't ever get to see a girl naked otherwise.

[@btlim4316]

I honestly believe, if you have no porn addiction, you should not do no fap. No fap will lead you to celibacy. But if you are on the extreme and addicted to porn, then yes as evidence by many.

[@RGcrasyRG]

As always: don't mix quitting porn and nofap. First is healthy, second one comes naturally from the first one. Fapping to your dreams ones a week/month is awesome.

[@Heypunitj]

Nofap is about improving your mind mentally and maintain a sense of dicipline, we feel more confident when approach women and lack shame

[@dallasron51]

Try it. Make up your own mind. Pay attention to how you’re feeling and compare that to how you felt before. You can always go back to that if you want to. A woman can’t tell you how abstaining for a while will make you feel. Notice also the difference in the ways women behave around you. See if you prefer that, too. Again, a woman, even if she’s a doctor, can’t tell you that, either. Experiment. Make up your own mind about how you prefer to live. You’re a free man. Live how you want to live.

[@james2091991]

To all the men that don't think no fap isn't real. Go 1 week retention. The main two benefits you feel is increased energy and a slightly deeper voice. After one week take note of what ive said. Now release atleast 2, better off 3 times in a day. I guarantee you'll notice a difference in your tone of voice and you'll feel like crap. Once you try this out and see it works. You can imagine what other benefits you'll get. Some of the other benefits you'll get is less social anxiety, stronger joints(cracking knees for example is reduced) better recovery, more focus, stronger nails and hair. These are some of the things ive noticed. Men and women are very different. That chemical testosterone is a hell of a drug! Men have 20x the testosterone of women! This is what makes us men! We're practically different species. Women don't even understand and moan that men crave sex etc. If these women had the same level of testosterone as a man, they might understand us lol😂 But they don't, so they don't understand our reality. Women that have "transition" into men notice the huge increase in sex drive when taking testosterone.

[@holla_j]

Why does Dr.K seem like a total stoner? Hard to believe he is an actual medical doctor and even more unbelievable he is a psychiatrist. This entire discussion is completely subjective. So in the end it's what works for you. I agree with him about using it for emotional regulation. When you are stressed and anxious there is a solution. Oh and btw, there are only temporary solutions. The human condition has many issues. We want to feel good. If you are craving a cheesburger the craving goes away once you have it. I'm going to bet the farm that you will have at least one more chessburger craving in your lifetime. You eat to only get hungry again. You sleep only to get tired again. You have sex or fap, only to have those desires come back and many times over. Maybe if we all become monks and meditate all day, perhaps we can elevate beyond cravings.

[@BaileyWiggebutt]

@@holla_j Unbelievable he’s a psychiatrist? He’s Harvard trained and has a biology degree from Tufts. Has 3 million KZbin subscribers and featured on countless popular podcasts like this one - DOAC. He specializes in addiction with a specialization in social media and gaming. He gives free advice on KZbin and Twitch which he has been reprimanded by the American Psychiatric Association since it hurts the “business $$$ of counseling”. Anyone bucking the industrial medical complex is invaluable. It’s refreshing.

[@MrApw2011]

I want to comment on this before I watch the video and then see if I leave my comment or not but "no fap" and "dopamine fasting" are two of the dumbest things to come out of the modern "monk-mode" MGTOW cultural (if you can call them that) ideas. There is evidence that having sex reduces your biologic age - if you have sex at least 3 times a week, you'll appear about 5 years younger than your peers accounting for lifestyle choices and so forth. This is because sexual connection with people gives us a certain kind of hormonal response and immune response you can't get from spanking it but at least tossing off is better for you than doing this silly abstinence BS. Okay, now I've watched the video and as much as I generally appreciate the thoughts of Dr. K, I find calling sexual desire "an addiction" absurd. As a person who has been attacked for his interest in sex and who has been basically blocked from it for a long time, it didn't help me to abuse me about my sexual desires and it didn't change a damn thing other than to make me really angry. I used to have sex once a day. I don't think that daily copulation is somehow some addiction and yet others think that's excessive. The reason you get addicted to things is they mimic dopamine in your brain causing for extra dopamine. Sex releases a lot of other chemicals besides dopamine so you can't get addicted to it. You may have a problem where you're too focused on it and you may need to break that cycle but if you want to know what addiction is like, it will make you lay in bed for days and days sweating and feeling like you're going to vomit and you'll reach the point where you'll do anything to solve the lack of dopamine you suddenly have. Sex and masturbation are not like that. Being really interested in something isn't the same thing as being addicted. Sexuality is healthy and if you think "no fap" will increase your test, then go find all the buff monks and priests (and I don't give more credence to someone who is a monk or a priest but rather think they are missing a huge part of life). Sexual connection is a huge part of being human and if you're looking for purpose, that quite literally is your entire reason for being here. If you have a problem with sexual obsession, that's not addiction. That's some trauma or some abuse you haven't dealt with that is causing relationship problems. It's not about the sex. Sex is good for us and relying on ancient mythology (which is wrong in almost every way you can be wrong) for answers to why you should abstain (note that all the Biblical heroes were horn dogs except maybe Jesus who we don't know anything about and may have, had he really existed, been getting it on with men, women, men and women, who knows?). The modern world is full of some of the most absurd nonsense that has ever existed and yet we have so much more information and access to information than we have ever had leading me to think that the human race is just doomed to absurdity and ignorance for all the rest of time.

This debate tells me it's about time we scrap the need for scientific studies to decide whether something is good or not. There is no money in creating more virtuous men - on the contrary. Happy people generally spend less money. So who would want to finance such studies, if not crowd-funded? The religion of science is good in many ways, but some times it's better to trust our own experience.
