I find it a little strange OP that you think people want to see your "no fap" progress lol. Its like you're a movie star or something. Anyways good luck dude. I could never do it. Not that i'd want to. I am mostly doing this because it is going to give me another tool to keep at it. Also it will give me a place to personally reflect on how it is changing my life. Even if there are no people in this thread by the time I am done, that is fine with me. I opened this thread for selfish reasons, however I wanted to leave the thread open for discussion incase anybody else wanted to go down the same path, they could look at how my life changed and see if that is something that is beneficial to them. My goal was for my entries to be almost scientific lab notebook entries. RESPONSE TO PANDATANK + Show Spoiler [Show Original Quote] + On September 03 2013 15:47 PandaTank wrote: Hmm. When I've done research of a similar nature in the past, I found that apparently regular ejaculation can increase your testosterone levels. Not the other way round. For example, fapping straight after workout could actually be benifical for your recovery, as your body needs to increase its testosterone levels to replace the depleted semen. Thoughts? I guess I'll look into it some more. By the way, I also tried what you're doing when I was younger. I remember reading on some PUA shit that not fapping would increase your desire to make friendly with the ladies and whatever else. Can't say that it worked for me. Like the other dude said "I have a feeling the problem you face is much deeper rooted than you may believe". Any results you see are most likely a placebo. Edit: Right nevermind anything I said. Futher research suggests that the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone levels is almost non-existent, except for the one day spike on the 7th day as you mentioned.

Yes, a porn-addicted guy who could pick up 3 girls in a night if he wanted.... sure thing.... I honestly do believe I can hook up with any chick I wanted to if I had the right motivation. As it is now, I make friends with every girl I meet because I do genuinely care for them. It is ok for you to have doubts about me, I on the other hand have none. RESPONSE TO XXXSMOKE + Show Spoiler [Show Original Quote] + On September 03 2013 15:36 XXXSmOke wrote: Lots of negativity on someone trying to make a positive change...... hmmmm Thank you for your support, I can handle the negativity, not fapping has centered me I feel, I feel less swayed by outside influences. + Show Spoiler [Pursuit of Happiness Speech] + RESPONSE TO DENZIL + Show Spoiler [Show Original Quote] + On September 04 2013 02:30 Denzil wrote: how much of this is actual effect and how much is placebo because the r/nofap community make it seem like they stopped wanking for a day and are suddenly pulling 50 girls in one night when they could of done that and wanked regardless To be honest with you I cannot tell you for certain. I don't visit r/nofap so I don't know the culture there, but personally I can say that it is making me more social, due to creating a sexual demand by not fapping. The body is smart, if you reward yourself for staying in with fapping, the endorphins are going to train you to keep doing the same. When you tell your body that doing the same thing is not producing the same results (by not fapping), your body looks for that high someplace else. That is the desired effect I want to see. How much of it is placebo? I can't tell you for certain, everyones experience is different, but for me I am starting to feel a change. GENERAL RESPONSE TO GYM CRITICISM I am proud of my accomplishments at the gym, which occurred before my decision to not fap. My judging of my performance at the gym is subjective, and as such you might not agree with it. However no matter how you feel about how I accomplished the gains, I feel amazing about it. I don't want this blog to be focused on the gym, with my log of no-fap as a side, rather I want the focus to be my no-fap decision and how it has effected me, with the gym being a selected area of intrigue for study. As such I am using my gains as a baseline for my growth in the next few weeks. This will be my last response to the gym, I don't want to derail my own blog any more. Next blog entry coming soon. Tonight seems uneventful, Wednesday and Thursday I am going out and hitting the gym. Expect the next entry sometime along those two days | ||

There is alot of sarcasm in here.

One thing that seems to be common is that the actual testosterone difference is very small, barely significant, so regardless if you're getting more or less testosterone relative to normal it's not enough to make any meaningful difference. If you stop masturbating and you find it's turning your whole life around (like the people at reddit nofap) then you probably have a porn addiction or you're deluding yourself; there are simply no effects that could change your life so much that result from not masturbating. I feel a change, and to be honest, I may have had porn addiction. Regardless of why I feel different, I feel better. Placebo effect or not, I am not going to question something that is working. No need to fix what isn't broken atm. | ||

Not to mention that if you are not used to it, 3-5x at the gym won't do anything, muscles do build during the times they can rest, not during the times you work out. | ||

If you would start with 80% of what you are capable off as working sets (100% is 1RM) you cannot increase it by 100%. Especially it gets more ridiculous the higher you did start. 250lbs ~ 114kg which you called squat.. would be very good already, as for the legpress - not so much. Yet saying you increased it to 230kg after just one week is utter bullshit. There is no point in you writing "you don't need to believe it" - everyone that worked out in their life knows it. After a legday, you cannot walk out the gym properly and your legs need rest to heal/build muscle. Even if you hit the gym 3 times in a week just for your legs, you would never get the incease you talk about. Not to mention that if you are not used to it, 3-5x at the gym won't do anything, muscles do build during the times they can rest, not during the times you work out. Don't worry, 460kg "squat" incoming (with 3 people helping him push the sled). | ||

They only need to rest because you masturbate. If you didn't jerk off, you'd be healed by the time you got home. | ||

I dont know man, real men use barbells. Maybe you need more fapping, if you still can from all the obvious steroid abuse. | ||
