3 Reasons Why You Should Stop Masturbating

Masturbation. Probably the most common vice of modernity, and the one that almost all neomasculinist websites are concerned with eradicating from the human condition. And why shouldn’t that be the case? After all, the “sin of Onan” has been linked to several legitimate physiological problems.

1. It makes you less receptive to actual sex.

The chemical structure of an endorphin

Despite all the pornography that floods the realms of cyberspace, the current generation has less sex than any generation of the past 100 years. While it’s likely that the proliferation of porn is not the only reason for this (frankly, it’s my opinion that people today, or at least most of the people around me, are just plain unattractive, both physically and emotionally), the fact that doctors are reporting surging numbers of 20 and 30 year old men coming to them with erectile dysfunction would seem to suggest that it is part of the problem.

Further complicating matters is the fact that, according to some research, one is capable of becoming addicted to pornography, with each fap serving as an endorphin “hit” similar to that released by certain types of drugs—a response that, much like drug use, will eventually wear off and require a stronger “hit”.

2. It lowers your testosterone levels

This is probably related to number 1, but it bears repeating: testosterone is good for men. Having a high natural testosterone level has been correlated to many positive health benefits such as increased energy, increased metabolism (which means less adipose tissue), higher sex drive and sexual function, increased muscle mass, increased bone density/lower risk of arthritis, and emotional stability.

Related to this, studies have shown that baseline testosterone levels in the bloodstream steadily increase after the onset of sexual abstinence, peaking at 7-10 days, a point at which they plateau and continue to do so until ejaculation. Knowing the benefits of increased testosterone, why would you waste it?

3. It makes you less attractive to women.

This occurs in ways both macro and micro. The macro, simply put, comes from the fact that, in addition to the frequent masturbator not taking advantage of the physical benefits increased testosterone gives (see number 2), women are just not attracted to buttery soft, womanly hands. In my personal experience, women love to feel the calluses upon a man’s hands, and just one lotion-soaked fap session a week will take away from the sexy, alligator-like roughness of your palms.

Beyond the purely physical, some research indicates that they may be capable of directly sensing pheromone signals related to your hormonal levels, and, of course, react positively to it (that same research indicates that males react with more arousal to women that are in the midst of ovulation)

So knowing all that, you’re probably going to want to quit masturbating as soon as possible, if you haven’t started doing so already. But, of course, it’s not so easy to kick an addiction, as perhaps some of those in the audience might know. So what can you do?

How to kick the habit

It is here that you can utilize the Baumeister willpower training devices (detailed in this link) to a specific affect, rather than just generally training your “willpower” in an ambiguous sense.

Recall that the program does not require you to go cold turkey immediately, as long as you make some sort of progress and concerted effort every day in your goal of kicking your bad habits and establishing good ones.

And speaking from my own experience with kicking the porn habit, I will give you the techniques that I used.

Step 1: Separate yourself from the substance. In other words, delete all your pornography from your hard drive, clear your browsing history so you don’t have the websites anymore. Seems pretty obvious to me that removing the source of your addiction from your presence is the fastest way to get unattached emotionally.

Step 2: Find some other hobbies to fill your time with. “Idle Hands are the devil’s tool” and all. I won’t tell you what activity you should partake in, just make it something constructive.

Step 3: Take it slow. Rather than trying to go cold turkey all at once, go gradually. For example, if you masturbate twice a day, try cutting down to only one a day for a week. And then once you can do that for a couple of weeks, cut down to once every two days. And so forth, as much as you want to reduce it.

If you start now, by the end of the year, you can comfortably wean yourself off the habit, and these techniques work on any other habit as well. Its just masturbation is such a bad vice, it would behoove you to get rid of it first.

  1. I agree that there are no benefits to whacking off.
    But why not just get laid instead?
    I see no benefit to abstinence either.

      1. Bless You !
        100% agree with:
        “Nofap /”don’t masturbate” memes were created and proliferated by religious zealotry and pseudoscientists that have no idea what they’re talking about.”

      2. The simple question is wether you are addicted. Also, porn should never be consumed.

      3. fucking can’t stand you people who try to divert the issue away. just from the first paragraph on that post it says “…underlying problems should be addressed instead of eliminating porn/masturbation” fucking idiot no. stop watching porn and stop jacking off. these sex psychology professors are massive sjws who serve in the overall destruction of society. porn is a waste of time and masturbation a waste of seman. for some men sure it’s no problem to drain the snake every once in a while but if you havnt noticed, this society is brimming with limp wristed betas who could definetly benefit from abstaining from porn and masturbation.

        1. “fucking can’t stand you people who try to divert the issue away.”
          I didn’t know rightfully calling out pseudoscintific bullshit andlisting scientifically valid benefits to something natural and healthy was “diverting the issue”.
          ” fucking idiot no.”
          So knowing what you’re talking about makes you a fucking idiot. Good to know.
          “stop watching porn”
          Debatable
          “and stop jacking off.”
          Why because you’d rather believe a meme made up by pseudoscientists and religious quacks?
          “these sex psychology professors are massive sjws who serve in the overall destruction of society.”
          What about scientists ho actually study and give factual information about this. Are they destroying society too?
          “porn is a waste of time”
          Again debatable
          “and masturbation a waste of seman.”
          Yet science says it actually does do something and has health benefits,
          “but if you havnt noticed, this society is brimming with limp wristed betas who could definetly benefit from abstaining from porn and masturbation.”
          No, because memes created by people without a brain aren’t the answer.

        2. lol memes? I’ve been saying this shit before memes existed.
          really it’s this simple: you jack off you loss energy. you have sexual energy built up throughout the day and the more you cum the less you have when it counts. it’s pathetic as well, this is my opinion: betas sitting at home choking the carrot instead of going out or working on their self improvement are pathetic. the point is it’s a vice and people going all defensive of their precious porn and masturbation are the same who tell alcoholics to just have 1 drink. our society is dying and many men are choosing to sit st home and pleasure themselves than save it.
          our society would be much better off with men who give up porn and masturbation then those who stain to justify it. I’m not trying to ban it OK so chill the fuck out. understand that it is negatively affecting probably millions of lives and so the advise to stop it cut back is entirely valid

  2. I went nearly three weeks once – no sex, no release of any sort. It got to the point where I needed sex so bad I thought I was going to burst. When I finally bedded down my next victim…heh-heh…I guarantee you she is still sore. Periodic abstinence is a really good thing.

    1. I went a month once.
      Before my first to trip to Korea to visit my SB/GF over there. Same results as you.
      But still, I prefer getting laid to abstinence…

    2. I do the same with the wife. Won’t sleep with her for weeks, but do the right amount of teasing during that time then when she’s least expecting it, whammo!
      Lets just say she does more than make a sandwich afterwards, hehehe.

    1. So I’m sitting here, eating breakfast, and I see this picture…message to self: Always eat BEFORE you visit the ROK comments section…

      1. It’s just a sea cucumber, Mr. Smith. People actually eat it. There are legends that it greatly increases libido…

        1. There are restaurants in Flushing that will serve it fresh. I have tried it. Did not like it.

        2. The three most frequently told lies –
          1) Check’s in the mail.
          2) It’s a cold sore.
          3) I’m not gonna cum in your mouth.

        3. Hahaha…no….they cut it up first and serve it as part of a Korean “sashimi” (Hoe) plate. The Koreans love it. Was not for me.

        4. I’ve got a foolproof recipe for increasing my libido (and size) – no Kratom involved…that thing is too ugly for words. I’ll stick to my own methods. Gah.

        5. People eat this too:
          http://listabuzz.com/adorable-photos-fish-called-shellfish-looks-exactly-like-womans-vagina/
          http://listabuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/shellfish-that-looks-like-vagina-34.jpg
          Somehow majority of the Blogs/Articles and youtube videos doesn’t show any thing (or talk about) of something that’s “shaped and/or resembles” a pussy !!
          And notice how the article says “creative construction” ! so a “cunt” is creative and penis is “funny” !! Insanity reaching the heights !!!

        6. You’re going to mention these “methods” and leave us hanging? Do tell. I’m not one for the consumption of sea insects, either.

        7. You guys are going to laugh and make Kratom jokes…but if a guy knows how, he can make his member a lot larger (and harder) via manual exercises. It’s called jelqing – you can Google it. There are forums you can visit to get the inside scoop. I was going to write an article about this once, but decided against it. It’s a series of exercises that were originally passed down from Arabic fathers to their sons, for generations, so that a young groom-to-be could prepare for sex with his bride. When I first found out about it, I scoffed. Then I decided to try it out, just for the hell of it. And holy shit, it really does work. I’d brag about how much it increased my length and girth but nobody would believe it if I did. It’s one of those things you have to try, and prove to yourself.
          NOTE: You have to be really careful when doing the exercises. It takes practice and perseverance. If you do them incorrectly, you can rupture blood vessels (or worse). But once you get it down, it will increase your size dramatically, and it will improve the quality of your sex life. Also Google this – kegels for males. High doses of Zinc will really increase a guy’s sex drive and sperm count. Eating a lot of eggs will greatly increase testosterone levels. Experiment with this, and after you see results, I will be glad to say “I told you so” and “congratulations”.

        8. Start with 10-minute sessions MAX. Read all the step-by-step info at the forums before you start. Go slow. Increase your session lengths every so often. It is exactly like working out. The penis is an organ comprised of mostly muscle. No bones to be found. You work out a muscle, what happens. It gets bigger and harder. Of course, if all guys knew this, it would put the penis-enlargement surgeons out of business. But I’m telling you it works. And I wouldn’t steer you guys wrong.

        9. Oh hell your dick would get so big you’d have to sling it over your shoulder…

        10. I’ll pass. I’m very satisfied with the size of my dick. Besides, an elephant trunk dick will only come in handy when fucking land whales…

        11. Jelqing works. I know. Look it up on Google. then try. There are booklets available on Amazon, too. At least there used to be. Jelqing is not masturbating. And it must be done carefully and consistently. Anyway, look it up for yourself and try it.

        12. My results: 3.5 extra inches in length, and 3.0 extra inches in circumference. I went from being above average to being…yeah…to being “that guy”. I wouldn’t go back to being that other guy for all the Kratom in Kathmandu.

        13. cant upvote. would be gay. how long did you keep at it? I followed the 3 or 4 month regimen, cant remember which, then switch to “maintenance”. I think you are the exception to the rule

        14. Yeah, I hear you. It would be gay. I did it for five months straight the first time I tried it. Went from 10-minute sessions to 90-minute sessions at the peak. Went five days on, two days off. (Recovery time is critical.) Took a break for a full week occasionally, and I would experience the biggest gains during these long breaks. Had all of my gains during that time. Since that time, I’ve just done maintenance work. Stopped completely in September of 2015 for a full year. (As an experiment.) Lost about a third of what I’d gained. Based on my experimentation, it works best in direct proportion to how flaccid you are during the exercises. The more flaccid you are, the better the results (because you can stretch the muscle and tissue and ligaments much more easily). Now I do about 20 minutes a day every other day. That seems to work for me in maintaining size, after you reach an overall size goal. Toss in the kegel exercises and you’ll gain major tensility and control over the whole shebang.

        15. 90 minutes. your focus is more impressive than your results. I can barely sit thru a 90 minute movie anymore. mine was 12 then 15 then 20 minutes per

        16. I wanted to see how far I could take it. After about five months, I hit a wall. So that was good enough for me. I’m glad I did all that work early though, the first time I tried it, and got the major gains out of the way, because like you said, it’s hard to keep focus (and boring as hell). I would watch a 90-minute film during sessions, the last month or so. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. It was worth it though. I was shocked how women reacted, on the street, or at a club, or most especially, at the grocery. It made me realize they are even bigger sluts than I ever thought they were.

        17. LOL yup I’d watch shit like Bloomberg, nothing more boring than watching peeps talk about whether or not the fed will raise interest rates

        18. Man it’s so boring, isn’t it. And 90 minutes? Looking back, I just can’t imagine it. But you know what’s really odd. After I changed my physiology below the waist, it made me have even more contempt for women. Women never stared at my crotch or made comments when I was average. Never. Bingo, once I hit the Major Leagues in size, all of that changed. At the grocery…that’s where it really stunned me, in terms of the average modern female’s boldness and degeneracy. These are the two things I get at grocery stores on a frequent basis, whereas when I was Mr. Average, it never happened. Some women will size me up from say 30 feet away, at the store. And the boldest will push their shopping carts directly up to mine (nose to nose), while they continue to stare at my crotch, and they will block my cart. Then, they will raise their gaze, look into my eyes, and smile. Sometimes they will hand me their phones. The other thing I get even more frequently, is the girl who casually walks up beside me, while I’m looking at something on the shelf, and she’ll stand as close to me as possible, and she’ll look straight ahead for a few seconds, at something on the shelf, and then she’ll very deliberately turn her head, and drop her eyes, and stare openly at my crotch – so I can see her doing it. Then she’ll look up at me and smile. And once again, sometimes they will hand me their phones (to put my number in). Now, you’d think that would be pretty cool. But after a while, it makes you realize that women are depraved animals. I’ve had teenage girls (underage), make comments, frequently, when walking past me on the sidewalk. Like, “Nice package”, or “Nice bulge”, things like that. One time I was in Waco, Texas, and this teenage girl she was probably 15, she made a crack. And I snapped, for some reason. And I stopped and turned around and said, “I’m sure your parents would think it’s really cool that you’re out on the street making comments about men’s packages.” And she said, “My mom wouldn’t give a fuck, she’s a stripper and I never see her. I don’t even know my dad.” Heh. I had no snappy comeback for that one. Anyway…it’s a weird situation.

        19. “um, excuse me Ms- my eyes are up here.”
          I wonder how they would react to that one ha

        20. My favorite thing to do in that situation (if I’m not interested) is to just look directly into her eyes, like, “There’s no fucking way, bitch.” And look at her like she’s something I scraped off my shoe. That takes the wind out of their sails. It’s ridiculous how they pretty much all use the same tactics. It has to be learned behavior. They must talk about things like, Package Assessment and How to Let a Target Know You Are Interested. There isn’t much variation. I’ve had women ask me to stand sideways when I’m wearing shorts, at a bar. I look at ’em like they have AIDS…

        21. My doctor talked me into taking 500mg of zinc per day, maybe 600. Like six pills. Looked like I was trying to kill myself. That was the most nauseous I’ve ever been. I walked out to my car in the morning and just puked. So much puke. There was this bitch with her apartment front door open watching me. She got up and shut the door. It was superb. Just the best. BEWARE ZINC. (Edit: I’m in the 50th percentile here. Some men are more susceptible than others.)

        22. Funny but I have a book on this. Used it once and will say it works, but at the time I felt it was time consuming to continue plus I only did it to see if it worked. Never thought I’d read the day where others knew about it.

        23. I got into a discussion with a urologist about this once. I told him the theory, told him the historical background of it, and told him the results I’d achieved. He flat-out refused to believe it. The human anatomy, you see, will not allow this type of thing to happen. Which just proves, once again, that doctors are among the most malleable (and ignorant) human beings on the planet…

        24. That settles it, we may have to discuss this off ROK… Between this and the spirituality aspect, I am curious what other areas we may have both looked into at some point.

        25. I’ll be glad to bounce comments back and forth here with you, all day long. Once a thread gets old, very few people read and/or comment on it. So it’s pretty much a private space…I have an aversion to emailing, unless I really get to know the person. Just a quirk of mine, nothing personal.
          The jelqing thing is real, though. It makes sense physiologically. The penis is elastic, by nature. Once you start doing the proper stretching exercises, it grows. The more you do them, the more it grows. The urethra stretches, right along with the tissue and the muscle and the ligaments. In addition, it makes your equipment harder – much harder, if you do it right.
          Where a guy can really get solid gains, is in thickness, even if his technique isn’t top-drawer. You’ll hit a wall lengthwise because…well it can only get to a certain length. But thickness is another story. I know quite a few guys who are pros at this compared to me, and they claim ridiculous figures when it comes to girth. Of course, that’s what women covet most.
          I am pretty certain why there isn’t a lot of buzz about this. Number one, who is going to want other men knowing these secrets? Most men who know this, don’t want to explain to the competition how it all works. Two, Big Media won’t touch it – the elite own Big Media. They don’t want men to be able to gain the confidence and satisfaction that this sort of exercise provides, no way. And they want their doctors to have the last word on the subject…

        26. That is pretty interesting about the topic of growth. I knew about it for the last few years, but doing the exercises is both time intensive and can be intrusive if you have a partner. I didn’t necessarily wish to share I was testing this out, and that’s kind of a thing of mine. I love knowledge and I love to test ideas.
          What I gather is the penis has a good 3 plus inches that are stored in your body that jelqing helps bring out. Kegeling is great to bring up the strength of your pelvic floor muscles and on it’s own, strengthens the urethra and the strength of an orgasm because now the muscle can flex better when you finish.
          The program itself, I have only done it on and off now for a month, and honestly have been using porn to influence the blood retained after I finish jelqing. Felt like I had more gains the first time I tried this out. The tricky thing is since this is such an unknown topic, for good or bad, I couldn’t really ask any questions outside of personal judgment of good or bad signs. Out of curiousity, how long did you do this and when did you notice the changes? Feel like the program you were on may be similar to my own but not sure.
          As for email responses, no worries man. I personally hate emails but use it as the easiest form of communication until I can trust a person I guess. Name of the beast when dabbling online.

        27. I did it for five months straight the first time, that was back in 2009. That’s when I experienced all my gains. I don’t believe the increase in size has much to do with pulling out the inner part of the penis. It has to do with stretching it. Case in point – the increase in thickness. That isn’t going to happen by pulling out any of the interior part. And yes, it increases the strength of the orgasm, especially if you do kegels. It’s a weird subject that most men feel uncomfortable discussing, I get that. But to me, it’s no different than talking about how you increase the size of your arms, or your chest. I mean it makes sense that guys who are interested in game, would want to increase their sexual prowess and overall size.
          As mentioned I started out with like 10-minute sessions. Eventually worked up to 90-minute sessions. I have pretty much dialed it down and just do maintenance work these days, but I’ve been sloughing off on that lately, too. So I’m going to get back at it. The technique one uses is crucial. I’m convinced that being as flaccid as possible is the key to large gains. This, of course, can be difficult (heh). It’s not easy to remain as flaccid as possible during the exercises. But it can be done.
          There’s a forum called…wait for it…Thunder’s Place. I guess he’s related to Chad Thundercock. You can Google it, it will pop right up. Anyway, there’s some good information over there about technique.
          If you are weirded out by not wanting a partner to know what you are doing, you can usually find a way to carve out the time it takes to get the work done. Some guys do their routines in the shower. Now, if you start increasing to like, 45-minute sessions, that can be a problem. But, the women I have told about this, they all think it’s cool. They’re intrigued by it.
          I’ve had girls who have been semi-steady plates over the last eight years, and I have told most of them about it, because I actually don’t give a shit and I’ll do the exercises in front of them if they are around. I’ve never had a woman say, “That’s weird.” Usually they just ask questions. Once they find out what the mission is, how can they not appreciate it. Had an ex- who would lay all my stuff out for me, before I did my exercises. I wouldn’t worry about a girlfriend or a girl you are banging or even a wife finding out. Once you start gaining, they will appreciate it. Plus, unless they are complete idiots, they will be benefiting from it as well, so you can use the old, “I’m doing this for me, and for you.”
          Also…I have had some really hot sex after sessions, while a girl watches me do the exercises. Of course, you are going to be pretty much ready to go after a good jelqing session. So it’s all good, recruit them to the cause; tell ’em to stick around for the side benefits afterwards. I’d just be up-front as hell about what you are doing, and hold frame. Women think it’s cool – and it is (cool)…
          About that blood retention. There are techniques you can learn; Thunder’s place talks about them. One move is called a Uli. These are great to learn. They’ll make your head huge. Great for girth as well, and retaining and increasing gains. Check that forum out if you don’t already know about it…by reading some of the tips and techniques, it will really help you get the right routine down that works for you.
          ***A couple of side notes here for anybody who decides to try this:
          1) You might experience problems getting a full-on erection for a while, after intense jelqing sessions. This is to be expected. After you take a break (two days, three days, whatever), it will come back with a vengeance.
          2) You might experience pain after a session – if it’s not that bad, it’s typically associated with the micro-tears in the ligaments and muscles that jelqing causes. “No pain, no gain.” You break the ligaments down, and the muscles, via creating micro-tears in them. Once they heal, they grow larger and stronger.
          3) If talking about this is gay, then men are bigger pussies than women, because women talk about this kind of stuff all the time (except as it pertains to female plumbing).
          4) Size matters. I don’t give a shit what any woman tells a guy. They only tell the truth about this, to guys who are large, as average guys and smaller guys can’t handle the truth.

        28. Tangent:

          It’s a series of exercises that were originally passed down from Arabic fathers to their sons…

          Which, looking at the state of the Arabs today, makes me wonder: did they rip this off of the Indians, the “Persians”, or the Europeans?
          …even Wikipedia now acknowledges that George Washington Carver didn’t actually invent peanut butter. Maybe, someday, we’ll see proper attribution for the “arabian” inventions?

        29. Heh! Phenomenal start and some interesting tidbits on where to look as well. Just from looking at that site, I can tell my form was slightly off. It is also good to hear someone mention what the side effects mean, such as loss of hardness and pain in member. Been at it as of late just to test if it is true and can make changes. So far just noticed hardness differences but have only been at it, loosely for a month. The sessions feel pretty ineffective and I am at 20 minutes per session. Any thoughts on ideal warm up methods? I use shower and was under the impression there was inner shaft that needed to be warmed as well but as no one to ask on this, only had one guy to off of, Aaron Kramer. He has a book on the topic but no one knows, let alone practices from it.

        30. I think at Thunder’s Place a lot of guys recommend using a warm towel or a warm wash cloth to wrap your son in, as a warmup. I have never done that one. You can probably find tidbits there about how to warm up. It occurs to me that there are no doubt subtle differences regarding what works, from guy to guy. The “inverted V” method, using your hands, when actually doing the exercises, worked well for me. Palms down to start, when you actually go for the grip. This way, you can get more torque.
          I suspect the reason why you are not experiencing gains, is because your technique is off. Peruse that board over at Thunder’s a bit more, and you’ll find some good stuff. Whenever I don’t experience gains, it’s because I get lazy and my grip isn’t firm enough. Also, make your strokes SLOWWWWW, while maintaining good pressure. Don’t be afraid to pull fairly hard at the end of each stroke. Grip the base tightly (palms down when you get your grip, not palms up), but not enough to cause pain, when you begin a stroke. You want to keep the blood in the member and then slowly slide it toward the head (about three seconds for each stroke, from base to tip). Once you are about halfway there, grip the base with the other hand to keep the blood in your member, and wait till you finish the stroke with the first hand. Then slide the other hand slowly, same deal, being sure to stretch at the end of the stroke. Then alternate. You will figure it out with experimentation, and you will get better at it with experimentation (and practice).
          The first time I ever tried it, I ruptured a blood vessel. Didn’t try it again for a few months and finally reasoned it out that experimentation, and paying close attention to what those guys in the forums said, was crucial. When things are going well, it will become second nature to you, in terms of the actual workout, the grip, the motion, and the finish.
          Side effects: Veins will enlarge and REALLY stand out, and your son will start to look muscular – just like your arms will, when they get jacked.
          Good stuff, dude. Enjoying the interaction here and glad to help a brother find the way to get what he wants. That’s what it’s all about, becoming more than what we are, I think….

        31. Good points.

        33. “It’s called jelqing – you can Google it.”
          This is literally another meme.

        34. Jelqing works, guys. Try it out for yourselves, and then you will know…otherwise, you will have no clue ( just like this guy). Make up your own mind about it. Naysayers are a dime a dozen.

        35. “otherwise, you will have no clue ( just like this guy).”
          Yeah sure, you wanting to believe even more pseudoscientific bullshit means I don’t have a clue. Guess that also means scientists and doctors who have studied this don’t have a clue either. And your urologist was still an idiot too.

        36. Thanks for your audition. At this juncture, we have decided against having you appear on a future episode of “Uncle Bob Debates a Beta Male”. Unfortunately, we feel that your overall intelligence and verbal skills are not quite adequate enough to provide an entertaining debate for our viewers. Upper-level management suggests you attend middle school one more time, or cut back on fluoridated water, or receive testosterone injections. If your acumen and cogency should improve, feel free to audition once more at a future date. And thanks again…

        37. No, no Bob thank you for being yet another pseudoscientist who thinks he knows better than actual biological research and people who know what they’re talking about. Maybe I’ll consider coming back when you don’t ignore all that and your urologist like an idiot.

  3. Longest I ever went was one full year while single. When I finally gave in I felt like greatness was slipping, er oozing, through my fingers.

    1. Yeah. I always got a strong sense of regret every time I relapsed. It felt like, “Oh no, what the hell have I done?”

      1. It’s like finding out you were being promoted right after you quit your job.

        1. They say that you can regain the ‘level’ you were on just 5 days after you lapse, and from personal experience I tend to agree.
          The trick is not to beat yourself up about it, it takes more than a single wank to kill all the momentum you’ve built up for months. But if you feel such regret, bottle that feeling and think of it next time you want to lapse- think of how long that feeling lasts prepared to the fleeting fun of lapsing and it’s pretty effective in getting you back on track…
          Me? I use this as a reference, to remember what I’m aiming for:
          https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3facd298776f043f49f8ea1e90900a2791a2df21e40ae532b695b2859e374a28.jpg

    2. A full year? And you didn’t have a wet dream?
      Wow…now that is some serious self-control. Bravo.

        1. Same here…but I would think after a year, something would give in that regard.

        2. I am on my 3rd year, but only because I have a plate full and nail every time i start feeling I’m going to go orangutang on someone.
          But a year with no sexual contact whatsoever and no dolphin waxing, can’t do it.

        3. another phrase minted: “going to go orangutang on someone.”

        4. Well, maybe a few of them do.
          Some abstain, somehow…
          Some whack.
          Some bang females.
          And some, well…

      1. I actually do remember waking up in my own jizz during this period. Crazy dreams too. I was 25 at the time.

        1. There’s a song in their somewhere…”I’m waking up in my own jizz…as if it’s anybody else’s biz…I’m waking up in my own jizz…bitch go fuck yourself, yourself, yourself…”

        2. The dreams are the WORST part. You wake up and just want to caveman-fuck the nearest deep, dark object…

        3. may I mention too, that the gains after working out in the gym are tremendous

        4. I had maybe one wet dream in my life. I never let it build up more than a couple days until I was in my forties…
          I’d been a ‘twice-a-day-man’ since I was 8.

        5. I was a lucid dreamer as a teen. I used to nofap just to encourage wet dreams, because it was the most unreal and amazing sexual pleasure anyone has ever experienced.
          I don’t even want to think about the kinds of sex noises I might have been making where my parents or sister could have overheard while unconscious, but goddamn. Full psychic fucking in the astral realm after living through a James Bond adventure in your own mind is like the stuff in erotic sci-fi.

        6. I did! I let that shit fly all over the place….my bed had more of my DNA than I did by the time I moved out….

      1. Yeah but you were full of energy right? I was definitely the most focused physically and mentally during this period of my life.

        1. I was a teenager.. I wouldn’t recommend it at that age, but as a mature choice, and an expression of self-mastery, it seems like a fair option. Ideally it would be about directing energy towards other activities and / or a ‘real’ rather than masturbatory sex life. I would say the important thing is self-control / improved energy etc. rather than abstinence for its own sake or anything

        2. This is a very important distinction that a lot of people don’t get. Abstinence for its own sake just makes things harder for you, but putting that build up energy into something useful can make wonders. It’s what I’ve been doing for the past half year, putting the pent up energy that resulted from abstinence into fitness exercises so I could lose weight. It has worked wonders.
          It takes a lot of discipline and it can be quite hard at times, but hey, if it were easy there wouldn’t be any fat people. But the results are amazing.

        3. exactly right. Freud of course would have called it sublimation of sexual energies / libido. One doesn’t always know that one is directing or redirecting one’s energies towards some higher or alternative purpose, but if one can do so in a disciplined way, that’s a potentially very powerful thing

  4. waiting to see even one article recommending that women should maybe turn down the electric-grid powered vibrator from 6000rpm to 5000rpm to improve their attitude and attractiveness…

    1. Or stop slutting it up with bar pickups or vacations to 3rd world countries…

      1. provided that the (local) arrogant, bitchy, opportunistic, whorish, slutty, entitled and ungrateful pussy see’s the reality !!

    2. Actually, they fucking well should– to “improve their attitude and attractiveness,” just as you say. I can see the Cosmo headline now…

    3. I’ve met plenty of women in early 20s who routinely use sex toys. It’s not just the older ones. It makes one wonder if that super stimulation makes them less sensitive to a real penis.

      1. Or realistic. Swiping the biggest plastic cock off the shelf of the nearest sex store and training daily with it is likely to end any chance such a woman would have with the average guy.

        1. A REAL penis just cannot vibrate at that super-speed!!! And it usually is not some plastic dildo they get addicted to…. but one that vibrates!

      2. Not only is that the norm now, but some of them prefer the plastic to the real thing, or at least want to use toys while you’re banging, otherwise psychologically they cannot orgasm. Personally I do not allow toys when I’m around. Bitch you get me that’s all you should need. Some of them are ruined by it though, and it’s a sad thing.

        1. The current woman I see and the last two I saw all had toys. Thing is, they still preferred my flesh and bone to the plastic.

        1. Bullshit. I bet you don’t actually get laid that much either. Nothing wrong with using toys to help a woman cum now and then.

    4. Woman: Your organ, it’s so small.
      Man: I didn’t realize I’d be playing in a cathedral!

      1. Ha! At least you are attempting to “worship” in the correct cathedral….unlike the little “outhouse” in the back!

    5. If you have to kickstart the diesel motor on your vibrator, you might be a skanky ass slut.

    6. I’m too lazy to go link hunting right now, but there has been some research showing that regular vibrator use can desensitize women’s happy spots such that your average flesh and boner man can’t get her going anymore. On the other hand, pun mildly intended, it would seem that regularly practicing good old finger fun time can actually help a woman achieve satisfaction during sex.

  5. Strange enough ! Article on something that is quite normal, natural and (when done in limits) healthy !! It’s totally a different case if a MAN has access/chance to/for regular “sex”.
    If you don’t masturbate, the seed (along with Serum / T) will get released when you piss. Smoking is injurious, but there’s a difference in lighting 1 Cigarette per day vs 4 Cigarettes !!
    As the saying goes; too much is too bad !
    PS: I don’t want to present scientific proof that masturbation is actually GOOD. One can easily search in any damn search engine !!

    1. I bet the author still uses coffein, alcohol, chlorine and drugs from doctors that are 100x more dangerous.

        1. Hard drinking is one of the worst for reducing T-levels. I was going through a fifth of single malt per week and it affected my performance with a woman. I’ll tell a woman that I will only have one drink or none at all. I cut back drastically, but occasionally have my 3-drink benders. Fortunately my liver enzymes are healthy and my other bloodwork is excellent (despite a diet high in meats and dairy, just make sure you consume only natural/organic meat & dairy, and plenty of the same vegetables the diet).

        2. yes…correct especially your mid section. Getting rid of your gut is a big deal for your health. The central obesity i.e. “big belly” is the cause of “metabolic syndrome” w/ diabetes, high bp, high lipid/cholesterol and all the attendant complications…

        3. Gave up alcohol completely seven years ago. My overall health and well-being improved a lot.
          I would recommend everyone to get rid of alcohol.

        4. Need to have a good/happy life to do that. Alcohol is a way to forget.
          Some of us need to forget, for a while anyway.

  6. This chart (benefits of testosterone) is complete bulshit. Cardiovascular health, memory, body fat, younger look have nothing to do with fapping and testosterone levels. A man can eat healthy and work out, be in great physical conditon, and still jerkoff to porn.

  7. Porn can be its own deterrent to viewing it. After you see the same shot-out whores, uttering the same unbelievable lines 100 times – “Oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-YEAHHHHH” and “OHHHH YAAAAAA…FUCK me…FUCK that pussy” – it becomes comedic.

    1. Lesbian porn is the only good thing to come (heh) out of it. Check out Sophia Knight. I don’t have a thing for blondes, but damn she’s hot!

      1. I’ve never truly understood the fixation that some men have with lesbian porn. I get it on the level of “here’s two or more hot girls getting all sexed up and I don’t have to see some other guy’s cock” but I would *always* go for hetero porn over lesbian, I guess it just can’t hold my attention.

        1. I am a live-and-let-live guy and I don’t consider it my business what grown ups do with their pink and tingly parts– but the promotion of lesbianism is virulently anti male, and lesbian porn is training material for the elimination of masculine sexuality disguised as wank vids made for the male gaze.

        2. i approve this.
          Fantasizing about being excluded from the sexual game is kinda difficult to understand. And being mesmerized by women fucking women and only women seems the perfect slope to the female pedestalization thus, the betaness people want to escape.

        3. exactly. promoting and encouraging lesbianism is sick.
          I knew some men who encourage their women to do this, even without their own presence, i mean letting their women going out and having affairs with other women. Those were all out of shape betas.

        4. I have to disagree with some of the bros on here. There is merit to the argument “lesbian porn is training material for the elimination of masculine sexuality,” but I prefer to think of it as two (or more) women are fucking for the amusement, entertainment, and pleasure of men… So you’re not really encouraging lesbianism as much as you are encouraging women to do whatever slutty fantasies get you off. Can that be a bad thing?

        5. Lesbian porn the way it seems is a gateway to cuckold. I think many men won’t admit they like an sexually aggressive chick because there’s always one initiator in lesbian porn

        6. Bullshit. My 21 year old son has a bi-sexual girlfriend who brings him home other women for him to fuck. That is alpha as hell. He gets 3 ways with women all the time.

        7. that’s bisexualism not lesbianism (i mean, he did not exclude himself from the game. Some men allow their girl to fuck other girl without them). And sometimes women quit their men to live with other women.

        8. And if she quit him, he would just get a different one. I have seen three girl come out of his bedroom at once when i stopped by.

    2. Just limit yourself to Japanese Porn. After awhile you’ll start having nightmares of squealing anime chicks with hairy twats and you’ll wake up with a headache. Problem solved, you’ll never want to watch porn again.

        1. …or getting used to that god-damned pixilated pussy!!! But yes….Japanese porn is a great “refresher”, but then…. you just might get addicted to some whole OTHER fetishes!! It is a wonder the Japanese have in getting their women to do crazy-ass scenarios!!

  8. Masturbation also produces dihydro-testosterone (DHT) which makes you bald.

    1. In majority of cases, “baldness” is mostly “genetic”. Wanted to discuss more and present information But literally FED UP with the “pussified” Science/Medical related Articles, Blogs and Sites !
      One article goes like: “Being Bald is not your Mothers fault” !! How a female become a “mother” in first place ! and why these guys/pussies are trying to be “defensive” !?
      Well then, a female NOT being “well endowed” (don’t want to get into “those” details !!) is “NOT her Father’s fault” !!

        1. Cool dude ! Just wanted to highlight that everything became “politically in-correct” !!
          If someone wanted to write an Article on baldness NOT being genetic;
          I don’t see any point in the Title “Being Bald is not your Mothers fault” !

      1. Actually I think that vaginal fluids that are absorbed by the penis actually block DHT.

        1. Now you are making up things. Nice try. As a competative powerlifter. I know a bit about DHT and how to control it.

  9. What if i have sex every day, does it lower testosterone or it’s just masturbation?

      1. I overhead some conversation about bodybuilders forfeiting sex in order to increase testosterone. Not true?

        1. No, cause all real higher level bodybuilders just inject testosterone anyway.

        2. I know lots of lifters and pretty much every npc competitor down to even a local level is on some kind of steroid/testosterone derivative. Just the nature of the sport.

  10. This may or may not be the right thread for this, but: Happy Fathers’ Day to all fathers here.

  11. Think of all the ladies you could be doing right now. All these girls leave with another man because you can’t be bothered with a real girl who doesn’t stimulate you like an electronic image does. So you pay your money to watch a douche-bag screw a pretty girl on film; a girl who probably won’t give you the time of day in real life anyway. Not that there’s anything wrong with you. But because she’s a lazy, punk ass bitch who thinks the world owes her a living. Since that didn’t come thru for her, she fucks and sucks anything to avoid getting a real job. And that’s who “we” jack off to!
    I quit masturbating awhile back. I had been doing so since I was 12. And I loved pornography from the golden age, late seventies and early eighties.
    Half-a-year ago, I began drinking 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar every morning. I notice how I feel about things change thru time.
    Few days ago I was told the apple cider vinegar boosts testosterone. That’s the only explanation I have for finally abstaining from masturbation. That and the help of God. Mostly my renewed faith in God has helped me to stop jerking.
    I feel more manly than ever now. And I ain’t in no hurry to date a bitch.
    This article is spot on.

    1. Agreed on everything. Quit all porn over 3 years ago. Quit jerking 3 years ago and only get laid now. And if not, use the build up as motivation to find women,flirt aggressively etc. It’s golden.

    2. “That’s the only explanation I have for finally abstaining from masturbation.”
      Masturbation doesn’t lower testosterone.

        1. women today is a generic term who wraps landwhales, cunts, femminazi and so on, all together, Ladies are those who deserve “manly” seductive skills for sure, otherwise it’s just a waste of time and skills, unless you like an easy win with “women”

        2. I agree with you. It’s the ladies who are worthy and worth it. And I thank you for clarifying this better than I did.

      1. “Masturbation doesn’t lower testosterone.”
        Perhaps.
        Which of these is more manly?
        Masturbation or seducing women.

        1. Seduction’s plenty manly. But so is using logic, reason and critical thinking. No Faps/Fapping memes’ roots in religious zealotry and pseudoscience make it immediately suspicious from any standpoint employing serious critical thought, and especially should have been immediately taken with a grain of salt here of all places. I’m just saying make sure to look into it before buying into and repeating memes.

        2. I lived it. How much more “look into it” is required. I don’t have time to endlessly analyze and scrutinize and please all the judges and critics. And my work is picking up now. So I won’t be visiting ROK much longer.
          But if you enjoy jerking your dick have at it. I prefer chicks tiny fingers wrapped around mine. You can guess the rest.

        3. I just don’t see the manliness in “servicing” yourself. I’d rather endure the frustration and channeling it for something greater.

    3. Son of a Gun!!!
      I drink ACV with the “mother” too!
      Bragg Organic to be exact.

  12. it didn’t work out well for onan. Smiting aside, nothing’s really changed

  13. But I’m so damn good at it, what the hell?!!!! Lol (Sarc)
    Good article. Makes much sense. Thx

  14. I’m married w/ 2 kids. I’d sneak off and rub one out as quickly as possible whenever I had a little bit of time to myself. I was basically training myself to premature ejaculate. So now I’ve quit the Pron and ‘bating, and In working on being a better lover and banging my wife more often.

    1. I don’t know about the ‘being a lover’ part with all the sappy cuddling afterwards and sweet nothing words. Yuk. But the available sex is a must to maintain. Part of being a housewife is wearing a dress always and getting smacked anytime and anywhere in the house. Couch, dryer, coffee table, leave no item or prop unsmacked like a dog pisses his territory. What’s it to her if she’s doing the dishes and you take a quick 54 seconds to nail her from behind as you grab the claw hammer from the drawer on your way outside?
      Get rid of all her jeans first. Jeans and girly cowboy boots on a female were a plot to kill off the rednecks. Pants on a female of any culture are a plot period. Pant(ies) are unseen and were only intended to retain a maxi pad. Otherwise it’s NO PANTEEZ under the dress for any housewife. Just lift – and lob it in. Simple. A wife wearing jeans is like her saying “fuck you”. Heh . . No, it’s “fuck YOOU” . . (lift)blap blap blap – bip – blap blap blap – – “ptooey”
      You need to regularly NAIL that hole you pay to house. It keeps that regular spring in your step. BAM – just nail her – just because. It’s for your own good. It keeps the ‘SKEEDADDLE’ in your step maintained.

      1. I am a confirmed bachelor my whole life because I have seen the misery in the eyes of a vast, overwhelming percentage of married men.
        But I just LOVE your “married guy” stories! You describe with joy what so many soulless zombies describe with sorrow. I see so many married guys that just confirm for me that I’m not really missing anything.
        And I think that is why I like your posts. I admire people that are good at doing things that I am not capable of doing.
        I get such a kick and a LoL out of your descriptions of your marriage. I really do. Haha

      2. love this. this is exactly what I tell woman I date now. sometimes I buy them a simple outfit utilizing a skirt. it’s all I want them to wear, skirts or dresses. they all comply and seem to enjoy the fact that I make them wear it.

      3. My wife mostly wears dresses. She doesnt even own one pair of underwear, she doesnt wear bras either. I have 7 kids as well. She lets me do whatever i want to her whenever i want. I have been married almost 12 years and it rules. She stays home, I work. She makes supper and keeps house clean and care for children and my needs. I supply income and do repairs and home improvements.
        She likes watching porn with me once in a while. This article is a little out there in my mind.

        1. She sounds like a good service female. She puts out. You’d be surprised how many good and skilled men try to get good wife service out of a broke ass woman. Some smart women even flake under the stress of one or two kids. They have brains somewhat but lack the nerve to sit down, shut up and tit feed, and to juggle dinner while changing diapers with their teeth as they vacuum with their left foot. Now that’s a good juggling multitasking woman. That’s good genes put to good use. And without complaints. That’s living for her. Life is sweet. It don’t get any better cupcake. It’s about a woman never being duped into complaining and bitching about everything essential for her base purpose of rolling out offspring between her thighs and servicing her master. She has a responsibility to her bloodline to crack her eggs and tit feed like a feminine and nurturing mother. I don’t have a uterus and milk jugs and neither does any other man. She’s got posession of the bombardier’s hatch and it’s her job to drop her fair share of white baby bombs upon the west. If she doesn’t, then the mission of the whole plane isn’t accomplished. But again kudos for snagging a good breeder who obliges. It takes a lot of game nowadays to sift through all the train wreck and broke ass women to find a good working one. Either you were lucky or you had a bit of game.

    2. I bang my wife 10 plus times a week and watch porn sometimes as well. All porn taught me was how to last longer. But i never had to sneak off to rub one out. My wife likes porn too.

  15. “It makes you less receptive to actual sex.”
    “It lowers your testosterone levels”
    These are pseudoscientific memes made up by people who have no idea what they’re talking about.

    1. It causes depression. I am convinced of that.
      It is a defeat. We should be relieving ourselves with females. I usually get laid 3 times a week (usually two pops each time) , and that is enough for me to stay away from whacking. Nothing good comes of it.

      1. I can vouch for it causing depression. I always feel miserable afterwards

      2. Not to mention the various findings that the incorrect endorphin releases rewire your neural pathways. This makes it harder to be aroused or enthusiastic about anything outside of porn. That’s real science. The people blaming it on religion are just trying to defend their own habits.

        1. That “science” is headed by Gary Wilson who is a quack. But keep believing psuedoscience all you want. I watch porn sometimes and get laid constantly. There is a reason i have 7 kids so far.

  16. Not a bad standalone article, but imagine the impression for someone new who stumbles on the site if they see the day’s three or so articles: ‘Kratom – Juice of the Gods’ right after ‘Brothers Helping Brothers out of Fap Hell’ followed by ‘I Was the Last Man She Liked – Before She Started Liking Women’ . . well that’s a good daily lineup of articles but it still lacks the needed politics. Kratom and fap articles should be spaced out a bit and not too close together. There are still impressionable minds out there and it’s a duty to shine the light. Kratom and fap back to back okay but never in the same article. Yikes. People seeing kratom and fap together be thinking that . . that . . . you know that baaad math. That baad arithmetic that never delivers the correct solution like:

    http://media.santabanta.com/gal/mu2012/swimwear-presentation/Poland2.jpg
    Eeeh! That’s more of that funny rigged math like what the banks use to make interest slaves out of the most productive nations.

    1. “the day’s three or so articles: ‘Kratom – Juice of the Gods’ right after ‘Brothers Helping Brothers out of Fap Hell’ followed by ‘I Was the Last Man She Liked – Before She Started Liking Women’ . . well that’s a good daily lineup of articles but it still …”
      ROFL. Brothers helping brothers out of Fap Hell – wonderful description – also sounds like something from a Salifist Islamic site.
      Anyway, this fapping is a longstanding problem. There was a survey of schoolboys in Edwardian England which showed that 95% of them masturbated. What this proves, is that 5% of Edwardian school boys were liars.

  17. But then some medical journal article recently said “men should ejaculate at least 21 times per month” which allegedly helps your prostate or some such… …

    1. The doctors are right about your prostate needing relief though. It is based on the pressure you feel on your prostate before ejaculation that forces the prostate to get a ‘workout’. You can do this by doing the stop start method of going to near completion, then slowing down, repeating for a few intervals until you feel the build up too strong. Performing Kegels also has the same effect but will likely ramp up your sex drive some of you aren’t doing anything else.

  18. In my experience, I have noticed more glances, dates, and an overall more positive reception from women when I go more 2+ days without masturbating. I have also noticed more responses/dates from online dating as well. I find it incredible how women are able to subconsciously tell if a man hasn’t masturbated recently but I am convinced they can.

    1. That`s probably true. However, women cannot detect your t-levels. What they can detect is your increased level of confidence and better game which may be due to the fact you stopped masturbating.

  19. Guys, lets be real here. The ancient sin of Thou Shalt Not Masturbate is really just a sub-category of the over-arching original sin of Thou Shalt Not Have Fun. There is something in humanity that makes us suffer guilt when we are enjoying ourselves. Guilt itself is a legacy and pre-evolutionary emotion that is entirely irrational, primitive and outdated. There is a sense that something that feels so good must be bad for you.
    It is the same for sex in general, tasty food, video games, movies, dancing and so on. Pick any enjoyable activity and you will find someone has a serious problem with it. Its bad, its wrong its destroying the social fabric.
    No it isn’t. The social fabric is fine. Its time to recognize that God doesn’t kill a kitten every time you take a load off and let off some steam.
    Gentlemen, its time to recognize that we are modern human beings. We can stop believing in a pantheon of gods and that masturbation causes blindness, hair on the palms of your hands, impotence or mental illness. The only thing masturbation causes is a rather pleasurable orgasm. Have at it, or don’t. Just don’t moralize the rest of us about something that doesn’t matter. That is the path to the SJW side.

        1. What? This article isn’t religious, and you don’t have to be religious to oppose masturbation.

        2. Our friend bob can be a bit of a troll, m8. Better he has his fun here than around normies who can’t deal with him.

    1. why do you care? it’s not being made illegal. stop trying to bring others down to your level. this asinine logic would lead you believe ice cream and cookies and soda is great because it tastes so good! no! avoid all fast food and sugary crap drinks just like you should avoid porn and masturbation. nothing religious about this statement.

      1. Don’t be daft. We have facts backing up the assertion that sugar is harmful. No facts back up the assertion that masturbation is harmful other than these puritanical, proto-religious arguments.
        Why do I care? I’m tired of all the girlish hand-wringing over nothing. This is a site for men and men don’t have time for that bullshit.

        1. I’ve always thought it was extremely trivial to blast certain interests of men such as video games or things that “waste time” like sports or watching TV. In all honesty, all that really matters is that our leisure activities are done in moderation.
          If video games get in the way of working out and become an all consuming endeavor, then yes they are “bad”. But taking a few hours a week or even a day isn’t going to derail one’s ability to be a better man and work on oneself. I suppose someone could also take issue with me reading a book, even if it educates me, because it could be construed as a waste of my time when I could be doing something else that is “more worthy” of my time.

        2. Indeed. For some of these people it’s either work or spend all your time playing games or jerking off. Moderation of both work and play is not a concept that these puritans understand.

        3. yeah a site for men. you do what you want with your time bob unfortunately many men and boys are super bets cucks, many who read this site, and so discouraging them from porn and masturbation is going to help them more than hurt them. acting like it’s no big deal will likely justify their vice even more. assume bob that this info is geared to those considered addicts or omega. I cannot even see how telling men to practice porn or fapping in moderation is even good.

        4. In my view, watching porn shows you how women really are. Keen to be dominated. I’m not going to tell anyone to either watch or not watch porn. It doesn’t matter. But if you have no game, cutting porn out of your life is not going to improve things. It’s just an excuse.
          Those considered “addicts” need professional help. But there are no porn addicts. Only people with obsessive/compulsive disorders.

      2. Women get hot watching porn as well. You sound like a cuck more than most of these people. Just find a woman who likes watching it as well and fuck her brains out.

  20. This shit is true. I quit the moment I found out a friend of mine, who was 22 at the time, ended up going soft while in bed with a solid HB9, due to his daily fap sessions.
    I find the easiest system is to put aside maybe a week or two out of the year to “relieve” yourself, and then go cold turkey after.
    Ever since I started living this way, I noticed I’ve become more energetic and optimistic, so its wise to break out of the beta programming of daily fap sessions just being a healthy part of life, because there is nothing to substantiate this notion.

    1. Is that why he fapped? So that he would have a ready made excuse when he fucked shit up with a hot chick?

      1. Even some sexual-psychologist admit masturbation to porn can lead to porn-induced erectyle dysfunction. (By the sound of it this might well be the case with the guy the commenter wrote about) Viagra won`t cure it.
        The only cure is to come off porn – completely, forever. The masturbation (without) should also be gradually reduced and eventually -if possible-completely stopped.

        1. Makes no sense. If you can get hard to porn you obviously don’t have ED. ED means you cannot get a full erection.

        2. The addicted brain doesn’t work like that though. I was addicted to porn and in hindsight was slowly looking at much more graphic material to get off. Vanilla porn wasn’t doing much for me. Also, your erection gets weaker because of the extent of the stimulation needed. After cutting back over a 2-3 year period, it takes little to arouse me compared to when I was hooked.

        3. It depends on whether you are suffering an addiction or just performance anxiety. What made you think you were addicted?
          Keep in mind thought, that ED is a physical problem with your penis. This relates to the health of your heart. It cannot be caused by porn.
          Also, I think what you are saying applies to sex in general.

        4. I’m 40 years old and have a pretty much constant erection. I have sex with my wife 10 times or so a week and watch porn sometimes. This supposed problem must not affect everyone. None of my friends seem to have any problems with it either.

        1. Actually there is. She made you go soft. Let her think that and her confidence will go through the floor. Then she’ll do everything she can to make you hard again. Done it myself on occasion.
          After all, sometimes you just go soft brother.

        2. lol I remember my friend saying the exact same thing about the girl losing confidence.
          Unfortunately though, everything happens for a reason, and no male with a healthy drive just goes soft.

        3. Going soft is not just related to being “healthy” (getting “hard” is more psychological than physical). There are, can be, could be and will be “hell lot of” reasons for “going soft” ! including the “girl” herself !!

        4. Thats very true, but I was talking specifically about being with a hot girl.

        5. Agreed, but still, losing confidence has nothing to do with masturbating. It could be that your/our friend felt He is probably not a match to the “hot” girl or maybe that girl is “too initiative and active” or maybe He never encountered that kind of “hot” girl !
          It clearly helps to keep in mind that whoever she is, whatever she is, however “hot” she is; it’s YOU who is gonna BANG ! YOU are the KING and YOU are the DOMINANT.

        6. I’ve been with some pretty women in the past who’s crotches smelled like a Port Authority restroom. Try staying hard through that. The secret to porn is there’s no smell.

        7. Nervousness can be a cause of flaccidity, but that’s more of a problem if you’re new to being with a hottie or if it’s your first time banging. However this guy had a pretty hot girlfriend for a few months prior to being with this chick, and I know he had a porn addiction, so the only logical conclusion was the excessive masturbation fucked with his sex drive.

        8. Lol, well I was talking an ideal and more normal scenario where there is no smell.

        9. I have many times in the past. Several times because the girl put me off, several times because of performance anxiety and once because I received news that my best friend died.

        10. YBOP is run by people that have no idea what they’re talking about and Nofap /”don’t masturbate” memes were created and proliferated by religious zealotry and pseudoscientists.

        11. No, it is your fault you don’t want to screw a moose. The girl is NEVER to blame.

        12. You just sited a psuedoscience site that is made by the anti-porn fear monger Gary Wilson. Mot a reliable source by any means.

        13. Okay, explain to me how excessive porn and masturbation consumption is healthy.

        14. I never said excessive. Anything in excess can be bad. Red meat, exercise, cake, anything. Allvof those things cause dopamine rush in the brain as well. My point is everything in life is about balance. Doesnt mean porn in itself is dangerous.

        15. If I jacked it to porn as much as I eat red meat or exercise, which is about five times a week, then I’d have serious problems.
          Porn consumption is more like crack, you can do it as little as possible, sure, but why do it at all when there is no long term benefit?

        16. There is no harm in it. It is not like crack at all. Crack is a chemical that artificially causes the brain to release dopamine. Porn is just a video. You sound retarded even comparing the two. My wife enjoys it at times. We have great sex together mimicing some of what we see. Once in a blue moon it relieves tension the rare times she is not available. If you think it has no benefits at all then you havent truely researched anything. Quit going full retard just because you probably has some insane not normal beating off habit that most normal people dont get into. To most people porn is once in a while entertainment.

  21. I like to look at claims from a variety of angles, and i don’t think porn has all that much to do with it, From about the age of 11 my Boomer generation was pounding their hound at least three times a day to whatever porn could be had to no ill effect. Testosterone levels are down across the board for younger males. it’s more than likely caused by all the estrogenic pollution that’s been in our food chain and water supplies since the 1970’s. I’ve read that men in their 20’s now have lower T levels than their Granddads did 60 and their dads at 45.

    1. Sadly that may well be true. However. I still believe the availability of porn has also a lot to do with it.

      1. What about AIDS? Does AIDS have anything to do with it? I ask because as we all know, you have full blown aids

  22. I’m not sure if the no fap explanations have been solved. In a culture where porno will get you beheaded, goatfucking is so prevalent that they had to ammend the rules to allow it provided you “sell the goat afterwards to a different remote village”.

    (likely borderline retard IQ. The west treats these types to a lifetime of special education programs and free warm meals.)
    Wouldn’t selling that goat to a distant village spread syphyllis for one which goats can carry? That makes as much sense as the ritually circumcised sub saharan negro tribes that believe screwing a baby wards off AIDS. It’s the circumcision that shorts the brain. Even 1st world circumcised jews can become just as depraved. A circumcised jew aspires to be a decadent pornography king at best, but no true king can come forth from a bunch of chopped down men. A bunch of whining princesses but NO KING for the foreskin chopped jews.
    1st world westerner pussywhips are just as naive as the dickchopped negros and arabs who screw babies and goats. Westerners are consumers who guzzle the laced parmaco poisons in spite of all the ‘in your face’ disclaimers. It’s the western women with their overspeaking loud mouthed nonsense, imposing their frame in the room that allow any and all propaganda to proliferate in the west. We need to re-domesticate and shut our women the hell up.
    Now these desert goatfuckers. I never dwelled on the subject much. I thought it was just more exaggerated critique of the culture, BUT IT’S TRUE.

    Meanwhile there’s an awful lot of headchopping going on within Islam. The headchopping is perpetrated by the most suggestive dickchopped whips of the Islamic state. The imam’s biggest cucks are the biggest headchoppers. Then what follows is more r-selected breeding of permabrown mongrels followed by more of the same headchopping culling. Islam, circumcision and omega goatfucking all work as integral parts of a ‘fractal distillery’ type of process where only pure, chocolate milk brown permamongrel drips out the bottom spigot. The world will look like a #2 flat almond brown Sherwin Williams globe after a nuclear molasses tank explosion. Human ‘diversity’ after being subject to such a controlled culling down process can never be resurrected thereafter.
    Heh . . .

  23. I actually DID go cold turkey in January, and was away from my girlfriend for the first 3 months of it (she was back in her own country for that period).
    It’s not actually that hard. At least, for me, when I set my mind to do something, and “lock” it into that decision, I can’t be budged or detered, and I’ve always been like this.
    I guess it might be more difficult for your average person, but it’s worth it. I definitely have more energy and willpower now.

  24. Great Article Larsen! Nearly 7 months no fap here now. I can’t even begin to list the benefits.

    1. Nofaps a meme crated and proliferated by religuos zealots and pseudoscientists who have no idea what they’re talking about.

      1. Ok. Well I’m not fapping and I see positive benefits and I’m not religious. So what is your point?

        1. “So what is your point?”
          That you should take a meme created by people who have no idea what they’re talking and would rather ignore science and biology, cling onto religious dogma and old wives tails, and rebrand all this as factual information; with a massive grain of salt; also don’t just rely on memes anyone makes up and tells you and drop your brain entirely. I could post the info I’ve been posting again ITT, but you’re probably going to keep doing or not doing what you want anyway.

        2. So you, a person who has never met me, doesn’t know my name, doesn’t know anything about me, are telling me that the positive effects of not masturbating that I feel first hand in my body, after a life time of fitness and nutrition, are wrong according to you, despite you having no details whatsoever on what my life is like, and that if I want help understanding why my own first person experience of what is going on inside my body is incorrect you will be happy to cut and paste links to websites that say things you agree with?
          Thanks for the help. In turn, may I ask you a question? How long have you been such an insufferable moron? Is this something that has always been part of you. Like when you were born was it clear from the start that you weren’t very bright and were destined to be really fucking annoying and stupid or is it something you developed over time?

        3. Type 2 hypocrisy is those who engage in a self destructive behavior and get mad at others who don’t engage in it. In his eyes, you are insulting him by your very existence.

        4. yup. It makes no sense to me. On an article about not masturbating I mention that I have been doing this and find that after getting over the initial difficulty that there are great benefits I notice in my own body….and this obnoxious twit starts talking about religious zealots (didn’t mention religion once) and how there are articles on line. Whatever dude…fucking morons.

        5. As a religious zealot myself, I see it all the time. Morons judging me by their actions.

        6. “and that if I want help understanding why my own first person experience of what is going on inside my body is incorrect you will be happy to cut and paste links to websites that say things you agree with?”
          Yes, and I’ll continue posting whatever I goddamn please in the face of whatever other retarded memes are spouted here; especially when I’m right and on top of the fact that if you actually bothered to look this shit up you’d see it scientifically does nothing. And I may not know you, If you can type how assblasted you are trying to defend a meme; I can tell you’re at least human. And last time I checked, (and if you bothered to as well before getting pissy at me) you’d know that no amount of biological pseudoscience, no matter who says it, is how the human body works. And if you even knew the first thing about science, biology or nutrition I wouldn’t have to spell that out for you.
          “How long have you been such an insufferable moron?”
          Nowhere near as long as you apparently have.
          “Is this something that has always been part of you. Like when you were born was it clear from the start that you weren’t very bright and were destined to be really fucking annoying and stupid or is it something you developed over time?”
          Has ignoring science, factual information and actual research all in favor of pseudoscientific bullshit always been apart of you? Because judging at how angry
          you’re seemingly getting and how much your subscribing to ‘feels’ for a meme; It’s like you were dropped on your goddamned head when you were a baby. I don’t give one fuck what you ‘feel’ about what I linked or my supposed intelligence; you don’t have any right be this up your own ass just because me or anyone else in these comments would rather bother to know what they’re talking about; while you’d rather make a choice based off noting except bad science and memes. I even said you’d probably go ahead and do you anyway, so go fucking believe whatever bullshit somebody makes up, but don’t think you can talk down to me or anyone else here.

        7. Triggered much little man?
          “but don’t think you can talk down to me”
          Oh I can absolutely talk down to you. You have been judged weak, impotent, foolish, stupid, naïve and worthless and shall be treated as such. I reserve the right to judge fools and you have been judged.

        8. “Triggered much little man?”
          And the dumbass who first started name calling wasn’t ?
          “Oh I can absolutely talk down to you.”
          Because that so proves whatever pseudoscience you’d rather blindly believe correct, correct right?
          “You have been judged weak, impotent, foolish, stupid, naïve and worthless and shall be treated as such. I reserve the right to judge fools and you have been judged.”
          What part of I don’t give a fuck about what you think or feel didn’t you get. And given that you’d rather go to bat for pseudoscience and and bullshit, whatever judgement on anything you may have isn’t worth a damn thing.

        9. “What part of I don’t give a fuck about what you think or feel didn’t you get”
          The part where you are a hypersensitive little girl. BTW you just learn the word pseudoscience? You use it a lot.

        10. >The part where you are a hypersensitive little girl.
          Which part was that? Was it when you got so butthurt over bullshit some idiots make up you started namecalling , or when you thought anyone should give a damn about what some one who’d bat for bad science thought or now when your trying to throw more insipid insults around. I’m not the one acting little girl here.
          “BTW you just learn the word pseudoscience?”
          No, but given you’re willing to go this far a meme, it sure seems like you did. So you should go look up what it means, rexamine whatever meme science you think is so right you need keep trying to justify how much you want to believe memes, insult me and argue; and get back to me.
          ” You use it a lot.”
          Unlike your use of your brain.

        11. Yeah yeah, I’m sure I have to be if it makes you feel better about believing whatever bullshit science anybody tells you.

        12. Don’t you have a sock that you need to go jerk off into?

        13. Dude, I’ve given up on video games for over an year now and started fapping less and less and the difference is just amazingly positive. Yet when I mention this there is alwasy some blathering dunce that comes out of the bushes proclaiming that “it’s not true”, “it’s not videogames, it’s yourself” and then linking to some garbage scientific article to justify their shitty lifestyles and dismiss your experiences. They then wonder why people make fun of them.

        14. There is always someone who will go to great lengths to passionately defend their pathetic lives

        15. Touche. Don’t you have you memes to down and facts and science to ignore. Your “peace out” bullshit should’ve meant you were gone anyway, not coming back to shitpost more at me.

  25. I have heard that not ejaculating (whether sex or masturbation) leads to prostrate trouble later in life. That’s why porn is bad, but I am not sure about masturbation.

        1. Probably so but I would say to do as needed. I think we can all agree that being drained by a woman beats flogginh which beats testicle explosion the problem with flogging is that too often it leads to contentment and people forget the joys of dumping loads on and in others

        2. On that we can agree. BUt most dudes are lucky to get laid once a month if they do not have a girlfriend or married. Actually, once a month is probably very high end. I have a cousin who ridiculed people who masturbate back in the 80’s when we were in our 20’s. He had his prostrate removed a couple of years back. I was quite a wanker, and now pee my yellow river (with the help of saw palmetto). I do think it is better to stay away from porn.

  26. This piece makes no clear distinction between masturbation and pornography. While I need no further convincing about the evils of pornography, I would like to know what evidence there is against masturbation per se, without pornography. For example, is the effect on testosterone different from having regular sex? (And don’t tell me that I should refrain from sleeping with girls for the sake of my T-levels!)

  27. I don’t always masturbate, but when I do, it’s inside an attractive 20-something woman.

  28. How to kick Porn: Fuck real girls. Unless you’re a bonafide addict like Terry Crews, that’s all it takes.

    1. yes. When I say I am no fap it is important to note that I am still getting 5-6 nuts a week usually with a couple different girls.

  29. When it comes to sex I always consider myself more of a participant than a spectator.
    After I left my fat, shewrish ex and took the red pill I started dating and never felt the need for porn anymore.

  30. i do NOT agree with this post.
    the reasons are simple:
    – quality of women, generally speaking, is LOW enought to keep real Men away from them, im talking about today female look, attitude, loyalty, lacks of feminine traits and so on
    -quality women (aka LADIES) are the minority, and they know it! so they usually sell pricey their goods for the wealthiest men around, avoiding average joe’s like the plague!
    -law are against men, in many countries you may be reported for sexual assault for somethings that it would be fine 10 years ago, even looking a woman too much would lead you to a sexual assault (applied to average joe’s only, it’s perfectly fine if you are Mr. Money Status handsome)
    -women today put more enfort to be sexy and beautiful just to boost their ego rather than looking for a decent man, and when it does, they prefer bad boys for a fast fuck with no string attached.
    – women today lack of femminine traits, aren’t fit, landwhales with bad attitude, rusually they simply act like men with a vagina, real men won’t deal with them as they usually don’t pass the boner test.
    -women are not proactively looking for men, generally speaking, they simply want to show the vagina power with other girlfriends and subdue men (beta males the most) to their needs, when they feel naughty, they have simply to choose from a wide array of orbiters, clowns, needies men, pua, average joe’s, white knight, but we know that the bastard is the one they prefer to have sex! it’s 2017 the YouGoGrrrrl years!!
    – in the current society, in every place, you may meet women who are not looking for sex as men do, hence you must game them or be a brainless tatooed bad boy, dumb alpha status black dude and so on, regular joe’s won’t have the time of the day, but they are always welcome to be a buffon and pay drinks, of course.
    -STD’s are on rampage, today it’s more easy to take a std from a regular chick rather than an escort (please, bear in mind that escorts are not those who roam the streets late night!) escort are more cheaper, safer and professional overall if you consider to have sex today, regular jane’s doesn’t mind too much about their healthy pussies, doesn’t not screen regulary, doesn’t mind who fuck her on those wild disco night.
    Regular sex (at least 4 times/week) prevent prostate cancer, so if you can’t have sex, masturbate yourself or visit an escort, of course you must not deal on pornography only, you must hit the pussy accordly to your money, but instead to being a buffon in a bar or disco, waisting your money to lazzy landwhales and cunts who smile at you as long as you pay for their drinks, rent an escort and then go outside with friends, im sure you will be better late, when your friends paid a lot to enter the disco, for the drinks and haven’t score while you will be the only one who will have a nice smile in the face.
    in the near future, smart men will eventually buy a real doll for masturbation, no nagging, no fake orgasm, silicon body? who cares, women have silicon breast/lips/butts/vagina implants novadays, no std, no premature ejaculation nagging, improve sex stamina, no “those days”, no STD’s, no “he raped me” the day after, no “ops! im pregnant” and so on..you may order a 9 rank doll and keep it there, waiting for you 24/7 365/year, this may soundweird, yeah! it’s a PROVOCATION to let you compare average encounters with being the owner of a sex doll for masturbation purposes! and since women use a wide array of plastic/glass/onix dildo, we may do the same, and the shame should be put on women because they may go and have sex anytime they want but they prefer to waste their pussy with silicon fake penis and let average joe’s starving for pussy!
    side note: women usually have male dogs.. and usually they sleep with them too…

  31. Show us your webcam pics, you know, the kind on NSFW sites. You are a bonerfied woman, yes, and not a tranny?

  32. all sorts wrong with this article. Ive found jerking off with porn has the OPPOSITE effect on me.
    some benefits for me:
    1. It made me more self-aware of my cums which allow me to last longer.
    2. more comfortable with my body, no inhibitions stripping in front of women
    3. less down time after the first pop.
    4. more control/composure when interacting with hot women since my sacs were drained, I wouldnt treat them extra special
    5. taught me to experiment with different situations/positions like reverse missionary, x-position, shower action, 69, 3-way ,etc.
    6. be more forward with sex, filter out the flakers that waste your time
    7. learned to choose the right condom brand(tried fucking and jerking off with condoms so its Okamoto for me)

    1. Was gonna post my own reply along these lines, but you beat me to it. (See what I did there…).
      I would add a final point that there is evidence that frequent ejaculation can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
      I DON’T disagree that — like any habit — too much of a good thing can be a bad. As always it comes down to conscious decisions and making it work for you.

  33. All females of all cultures and political views, would agree with this 100%. Just not for themselves.

  34. Every female on this planet throughout history, across all cultures, across the entire political spectrum, already agrees with this 100%. Just not for themselves.

  35. Umm, I never said sex or ejaculation in general is a bad thing, go take that up with a 2nd wave feminist or catholic priest.
    My main argument was about how bad the over consumption of porn and masturbation is. Lmfaoo most your sources agreed with me on this, especially the first one which compares it to junk food.
    It doesn’t matter how you develop a porn/masturbation addiction, as long as you have it, nothing good or healthy will come from it, the same applies to a drug or videogame addiction.

  36. If you don’t beat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t beat your meat?

  37. This article is pure quackery. Testosterone differences are insignificant. But increase in heart rate etc aid in health.
    How healthy do you think your foot would be if you never used it? Same with sex organs.
    Plus it is safer than sex with multiple partners. Less STDs and conflicts with the husbands of cheating wives.

  38. Doesn’t decrease testosterone in any significant way. Sorry, there’s no robust evidence for that and hormone levels are effected by many other other factors. However the evidence of ED is strong and pornography does suppress normal sexual behaviour so I believe in limiting it considerably.

    1. ED is a physical problem. If you cant get it up due to porn you have psychological issues. I watched tons of porn when younger and never had any problems with women at all.

  39. “In my personal experience, women love to feel the calluses upon a man’s hands”
    That’s a laugh. My hands are always beat up and rough feeling because I’m always working on one thing or another. Not once has a woman felt my hands and had any sort of positive reaction regarding it. In fact I think it implies to them that I have a much lower income than I do.

  40. So…Serious question…I haven’t been able to find an answer. Google don’t know. If you’ve had a vasectomy, essentially your nuts are disconnected. No sperm can leave during ejaculation. So in that case would masterbating affect your t levels?

  41. *****How to kick the habit
    It is here that you can utilize the Baumeister willpower training devices (detailed in this link) to a specific affect, rather than just generally training your “willpower” in an ambiguous sense.*****
    Have your mom walk in while your jerkin’ your gerkin’; you won’t need the Baumeister training device…..guaranteed.

  42. #2 has been debunked and the opposite occurs actually… porno can be a bad rabbit hole to go down… Use your imagination instead:)

  43. Fucking a strange piece:
    Positives-Awesome, enjoyable, self-esteem boost, pleasurable.
    Negatives-Disgusting, bad body odors, STDs, pregnancy, 18+ years of child support, false rape accusations, time consuming, angry boyfriend, fiance, husband, father…….
    Throwing strokes:
    Positives-Awesome, enjoyable, pleasurable, a variety of porn from which to choose, do something else as soon as you are done, no need to buy dinner, drinks, movie or gifts, no scheduling/dates, great stress reliever.
    Negatives-None.

    1. That is very beta thinking. What’s wrong with seducing a woman, perhaps buying dinner along the way and fucking her?
      The alternative is sitting alone in a darkened room watching a slut being fucked by dude surrounded by other dudes with cameras and equipment.

  44. I have a hair to split: Onan’s sin wasn’t masturbating. Despite what a certain sect of indulgence-selling idolaters would have you believe, it wasn’t even practising the withdrawal method. Onan’s sin was deliberately shirking his responsibility to provide his late brother with an heir.
    The rest of the article makes good points though. I would argue that masturbation is more addictive than heroin. A junkie who quits the smack will have to go through the worst ‘flu’ of his life; this might make quitting harder at first but, once the junkie has recovered from his flu he’ll be less tempted to use again since he’ll know that every up must have a down. There’s no such mental barrier to relapse with masturbation.

  45. This article is kind of stupid. I have sex on average 10 times a week every week and porn and masturbation does not affect that one bit. Also the thing about lower testosterone. It is only a small negligible amount, and anyways some of us inject enough of it weekly that it wouldnt matter anyway…lol

  46. Of course, you have to balance this advice with the advice to ejaculate at least 21 times per month to reduce your odds of prostate cancer.

  47. Quit jackin off 1 day then 2 then 3. When you reach 2 weeks you will destroy everything. Porn is making weak men who perfectly serve the globalist corporate soul grinder.

  48. “some research’
    ‘seems to suggest’
    The author clearly dislikes masturbation and hence tries to find evidence to support his point of view – and fails. Find me one peer reviewed piece of research that proves that masturbation causes problems of some kind. Just one. The author can’t.

  49. Porn today is full of obese tat skank whores. Why on earth is that acceptable?
