PMO Effects on Mind?

Your testicles make testosterone.. testosterone is needed for a plethora of processes in your body including maintaining mental health.
Now i'm not going to go into alot of detail about this as there are enough sources on the internet on what testosterone is and what it does.

But anyway what i am trying to say is, a man is only able to create a set amount of testosterone on a daily basis. So when you ejaculate your testicles get a signal to start sperm production on overdrive and some of that male testosterone energy goes lost in producing sperm. When it could have gone into maintaining bone/brain and muscle mass.. (This is also a reason some pro boxers refrain from ejaculating/having sex months before a big fight)

I'm sure some people might disagree with me here.. but there's a reason some people talk about "brain fog" on this forum.. Anyway good luck, and stop fapping.

 

The excitement you get from pmo binges can cause inflamed nerves. Dopamine and adrenalin are extremely similar structurally. Fapping to porn isn't that different from skydiving so to speak, at least not when it comes to the hormones and neurotransmitters that are released.
The relaxation of the muscles around your scalp following the binge is probably what is causing the tingling sensations. Stress hormones promoting inflammation like cortisol are very much at play in what you are describing.

This isn't 100% innocent. If done on a daily or weekly basis, the excitement can result in a disability of sympathetic nervous system inhibition, meaning the adrenalin and dopamine can literally fry other neurotransmitter receptor cells, particularly that of serotonin, the body's master anti-depressant, which is not a good thing. Pleasure and happiness are two different worlds. Never overdo masturbation at the expense of your happiness.

 

You need to consciously ask yourself the question, what's the fucking point? what do i gain from that 5 seconds of release? and what do i lose from it?
You gain nothing. But you do lose something. Your self worth for one.

Haven't you noticed after the deed you feel kind of dirty. Like something in your head is nagging at you for what you just did.
Also, when i eventually do have sex, which is not often since i don't have a girlfriend.. (just a friend with benefits)
The O i get for abstaining from P and M for so long is just freaking amazing. Look man having an orgasm is a natural thing, without it we wouldn't be here talking about it..
But you need to moderate it and just not be the one to do it to yourself. I've had times where i saw this girl a couple of times a week and i just refrained from O and instead just focused on pleasuring her. (which afterwards maybe wasn't such a good idea because she kept coming back) But yeah that's the hardest thing to do, but if you can do that and go against your most basic primal instincts, everything else is just trivial.. I felt like a fucking god on top of a mountain after that. No orgasm can give you this feeling dude..

What i would suggest is just focus on yourself. do some exercise, eat healthy, set goals for yourself, stay away from any triggers, handle your triggers by getting a substitute..
And these suggestions are also applicable for myself, i also catch myself eating a fat juicy hamburger every now and again and missing an exercise. We are humans.

 

Don't know that i have a list but what i noticed from fapping so much is that my eyes couldn't handle the sun too well, i'm not sure if that was because i was hiding inside a dark man-cave and my pupils had to adjust or because of the lack of zinc in my system. (do a search on zinc deficiency, you'll find some interesting stuff) i had trouble with memorizing basic things, like groceries, lack of motivation to do much after work and that is probably because i subconsciously already rewarded my brain and there was little incentive to do anything else. After quitting for months i realized how much of my days revolved around thinking of busting one out, it's pathetic really now that i think about it.. it's beyond pathetic but funny at the same time. I remember days where i went to this "friend with benefits" girls house and had the most amazing sex you could possibly imagine and still jerked one out when i got home.. After a while of this stupid cycle of going to work and cumming home i decided to quit because, let's face it.. it's fucking pointless. I feel much better now on all sorts of factors, health wise, mind wise, energy wise, time savings wise, motivational wise.. I regret not stopping sooner.
