I used to masturbate once a week from age of 7 .now I am 16 years old.can fapping once a week have negative effects?if yes then how long will it take to recover from side effects of fapping once a week with out porn on fantasies?
just don't fap, it is not worth it to use all your energy on this useless thing. Also losing semen in ejaculation will have multiple negative effects, so i recommend semen retention, which is abstaining from all things
That's an interesting point. Testosterone is on peak after 7 days and then decreases. I don't know which effect is has, if you just relase once a week and then restart this process. Maybe it's like hypertrophy at muscle building. You will in long term have a high testosterone level. Please try this half a year give us feedback
however I think we have to try at least abstain from PMO for a year before making a statement. Real life experience is totally different from the scientific research
Fapping once a week is just fine. There's no credible research on semen retention. It's all based on ancient mysticism like Alchemy. I generally have respect for ancient wisdom. However it's not hard to imagine that those eg. alchemists were the nerds of the time, studying their books all day never getting laid, came up with a theory why it's good not to ejaculate. From personal experience I can tell you there's no negative effect simply from masturbating. It does change your hormone levels of course, which in theory changes your mood and decision making. However the mindset you have for the day has a 20x if not even 50x bigger impact on your success. Meaning if you did your homework, crushed the exam, talked some fun with chicks in class, getting better at sports, looking forward to hang out with your buddies on the weekend, you're on a roll! And it doesn't matter whether you masturbate or not.
When you fap every day it will be less and less fun. When you attempt to have sex you can barely get a boner and keep it up. You need breaks. I for example don't touch myself for 4-6 days before I hang out with my gf.
Some of the stuff you mentioned all sounds good, except for the fact that at the end of the day, your recommendation still leads a guy to ultimately be a Jackoff.
So you used to masturbate yourself and you attributed your failures in life to the fact that you masturbated and now you get slightly angry at people who still masturbate, hence you call them this derogatory term, because you don't want somebody else to have the pleasure of masturbation when you can't have it. And you think you can't have it because some dude wrote a blogpost about how masturbation makes you fail at life? Masturbation doesn't make you fail at life. You make you fail at life, by not choosing the right routines, by making wrong choices left right and center. If you did everything right you could jerk off all day and you'd be just as successful. But when you're down low you'll go for any scapegoat you can find to attribute your failures to.
I agree. Please remind the one saying "From personal experience I can tell you there's no negative effect simply from masturbating."
Yeah mate, just to back up the response below...just go cold turkey, try to do it not at all. You’re young and have everything going for you. It’s not worth it! It can destroy your life...
