The NoFap Thread: Get In Here!

[DaveFoster]

Wow shocking, if you really do live around LA then Im sorry you ahvvent figurred out how vapid the women tend to be. Maybe you are too good for 'em, I know a lot of guys with that problem.

Obviously Im not contest that picking up a girl is easier then getting online and pulling up a pornographic film that does it for you.

What I am contesting is that finding a girl is really NOT that hard, and the interaction is a much better value than fapping to adult films.

But also im admitting that it often is a very hollow, vapid experience, and sadly the guys who are imeprvious to rejecton, and have small hearts, and small minds, and just general jackasses, will stand the best chance to couple up with most women. this is especially true in the hyper-materialism of LA, albeit there is a blooming underground scene (arguable covetting a just as vapid form of "alernative art" materialism).

Go to any nightclub looking "money" and showing up in an uber black, and you will have no problem getting any girls number in that joint. Doesn't even matter what you look like, as long as you arent obese. Granted, you have to be an **** and talk to every girl you can, but I know guys I hate who do that and are successful just about everytime they go out. I find it repulsive but it's LA...

You were smart to get out of hollywood. Fun place to visit occasionally or finda drink at or walk around during the day, just a terrible place to live. Its basically becoming another tijuana without the charm or the good food. Everyone is rude, uneducated, the public goods hav elong been spoiled, the police are corrupt, it's no good anymore....

I am a big fan of the venice area and going south from there. Much more affordable, much nicer folks, great beaches, lots of good times to be had.

Women like that are like going to a movie; it's expensive, generally a waste of time, but it's nice to do once in a while.

Ha, I hear what you're saying, and I do think you have a point. In fact, from the time I lived in Hollywood (and it was a while), I can think of four women I met and became friends with that were strippers or porn actresses (they didn't raise to the level of stars). That's just off the top of my head, there were likely others.

Personally, I was never good at one night stands. Maybe it just seemed like too much time, money and effort for such a small amount of joy. Maybe it's that any woman I would have sex with, I'd likely want some sort of relationship with. Maybe I just didn't want to use a woman, or have her just use me. And it certainly didn't help that I was broke and out of shape most of the time I lived there.

Which brings me to the question about the points of your response I emphasized...... is any interaction a better value than fapping to an adult film? After all, with sex, there is always the risk of STDs and Pregnancy. And if you have this fantasy of endless one night stands, is sex worth it with women you dislike, or likely in some cases, absolutely despise? If you get into cases of affairs and scorned lovers, these can destroy peoples lives and lead to real physical violence.

Looking at it that way, I don't think the hollow, vapid one night stand experience is a better value than the solo session.

Dang, I took like, four paragraphs to try and say that.

Hi all guys I had really bad experience with masturbation yesterday, I was really horny, great feelings overall perfect, I could go to my girl today but cant wait and I know that when I masturbate a little before sex, I can have it longer. I dont know why but after 10 minutes I got big pain to my testes and adrenals, I thought that its from magnesium deficiency so I made bath with epsom salt. My pain improved and I went to bed. I woke up after 10 minutes, with pain again, couldn´t pee and with small ball under my left testicle. SO I went to hospital fast, I was scared as hell. They did ultrasound but didnt find something so they gave me injection against my pain. It helps but I still feel some pain. I am really shocked and dont know what to do now. My boys were big and I had alot of sperm but quality like water. Today, they are small :/.

2/1/17: The furthest I've gone is 5 days, so this is my PR. I'll try to beat this starting today. The best things for keeping urges away has been caffeine.

I will continue to emphasize the role of an energy deficit in addiction (including porn addiction,) as this reigns true in my own life. A low pulse, temp, and feelings of isolation predisposes one to excessive masturbation and pornography.

A few years ago i wento once every 30 days for a few months. I did not notice any benefit

Ever since taking pregnenolone (I think) at the start of January my urge to masturbate has completely gone. I don't think I have no libido, maybe it has reduced a little, I still want sex and have no problems with the act. The only thing I can think it could be is pregnenolone, don't remember masturbating in January at all, and not even thinking about it.

How much do you take?

 

[raypeatclips]

I took 50mg maybe 6 or 7 times in January. The only other things I have changed in January was improving my magnesium levels via epsom salt baths almost daily and being consistent with the carrot salad, so maybe one of those. But the "craving" for masturbation has gone.

Orgasms increase prolactin, period. It is a direct increaser of prolactin in the body. There is absolutely no debate around this at all. Therefore, it leads to an inflammatory environment by downregulating the steroid production hormones. You can offset it via peat methods. but it still is not "good" for you in anyway.

 

[Entropy]

I think in the long run it's good to deprogram where you throw your energy at.

 

[redlight]

Abstaining to once a week is all you need to get the benefits... Anymore than this probably does more harm than good.

Sex raises prolactin and thus jerkingg off lowers it?? That's it- no more sex for this guy! Peat would agree with me Im sure.

what harm would it do? all of the masturbation is healthy stuff is completely false, ive done the research into it, there is nothing proving masturbation or orgasms to do anything, like "clearing out toxins" from your prostate, seriously wtf?

[redlight]

I started reading yourbrainonporn it is very interesting to see the benefits people are having.

semen volume went up and semen concentration went up the less people jerked off, it's showing nofap is good

DaveFoster - how old are you?

How are progesterone, and pregnenolone going to stop urges? Is that a healthy way to stop urges?
