    So it just dawned on me a rather interesting thing. They say when you go on NoFap and you abstain for 7 and 14 days, your testosterone hits the highest it will ever hit as a man. Now, testosterone does a few things for men. It does the following:

    • Makes us feel more manly, assertive, and over all confident
    • It makes us lose weight and fight diabetes better
    • The more testosterone a man has, the more pleasurable a girl finds intimacy
    • It increases optimism and energy
    • It allows us to handle stress better
    But here is the real kicker that people tend to forget about this manly "drug" our body makes.

    A) Testosterone helps red blood cells in every manner. It means we are healthier.
    B) Bigger bone strength and mass.
    C) Muscle growth and Fat loss (my personal favorite)

    So by doing the NoFap challenge, while no official science has been attributed to NoFap, the science already backs it. By abstaining from Porn and Faping our testosterone increases. We grow more hair, (You want that beard? Might want to NoFap!), we become stronger in all aspects of our body, we lose fat and our metabolism increases, and all of that builds toward our confidence. But don't forget, hand in hand with more testosterone means girls find us inherently more attractive, also building confidence.

    Pretty cool thoughts... By NoFap we are not only helping ourselves and making us feel more attractive, which makes us more attractive, but also girls just naturally are more attracted to us. They get hit with the double wammy of the glory of testosterone.

    Thoughts?

  2. There's only a testosterone spike at day 7 of no ejaculation ( sex included )then it goes back to its normal levels.

    Its like the multiples of 7.
    7th day>14th day>21st day like that.Thats how it goes normally.Testosterone levels should be balanced in body naturally.Faping or watching P disrupt the natural balancing technology of body thats why we feel good after NOFAP because the body is balancing itself in its own rhythm.

  5. I've heard the same. A spike at 7 days. I'm trying to increase my testosterone for confidence purposes and muscle growth. Lifting heavy while on NoFap will do the trick. But be weary as it can intensify arousal I find and others as well.

    14 days sounds about right. my urges get the worst around then. But you can up your T level average by working out, taking cold showers and what not. The longer I go without PMO though I feel better and better and get more confidence and happiness, which is what I believe to be the regulation of hormones.

    Mate. I dont think there is a relation between cold showers and T increase.When taking cold showers its making the body temp Down to 37 degree Celsius(Normal Body temp).Suddenly all cells of body become active to maintain this normal body temp.Thats what really happens. By this way it DIMINISH THE HEAT OF PASSION.
    When you are aroused blood circulation increase and body temp rises so taking cold showers are like 'MAKING BODY CONCENTRATING IN MAINTAINING BODY TEMP ONLY'
    (Just the science)

    From the Karezza stuff I have been reading: While testosterone peaks at seven days, PMO damages the receptors that absorb testosterone into the brain (though they say it is orgasm in general rather than PMO). Even though testosterone goes down to baseline level more of it is 'absorbed' as the receptors heal.

    I'm guessing this is why people report having a deeper voice, this being a long term change rather than just one that they have on day seven.

    If the research and receptor thing is true of-course.

    Abstaining from orgasm increases the body's androgen receptor density and sensitivity. Raising your natural test levels will have next to no measurable impact on mood, sleep, muscle building, bone density... because you can only raise your natural test so much. For example, a man might be unhealthy, lazy and lethargic with a test level 450 n/dl and then he does nofap, starts working out and sleeping better and his test goes up to say 550 n/dl. If we look at steroid users, they generally have to get their test around 2000 n/dl before they start making their steroid gains or they simply use very androgenic steroids.

    My point being, don't get caught up on what to do to raise your test or anything in that realm because it's a very elementary outlook on the human body. Instead, look at the hormone receptor sites (ie. androgen receptors) and how the encoding of your hormones change as an epi-genetic response to the forced change in your environment.

    Testosterone Increase


    A 1993 study conducted by the Thrombosis Research Institute in England showed a link between having cold baths and having high testosterone levels. We don’t have the direct link to the study, but try it out for yourself and see. We promise that, after spending five to ten minutes in the freezing cold water, you’ll at least feel like more of a man.


    Hugh Jackman used freezing cold showers in the morning to prepare himself to play Wolverine in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He actually credits the showers for getting him in the pissed off mood which was necessary for his character.

    But you're right cold showers is a great way to get rid of erections. Also holding your breath. But whenever I get the urge to PMO I don't have an erection usually.


    Cold showers also increase sperm production.

    I didn't say you were going to turn into a roiding hulk by it. I said that it naturally increase, and you will become more muscular.
