    I advise you take this seriously.. you will be amazed when you start seeing results.
     
  8. Exactly. Along the appreciation for life, I've also learned to take responsibility in myself in the recent years and also there's no one to blame but myself. Sure, the media and everything is revolved around a sex craved culture, but ultimately it's up to us to take the responsibility.

    For balding I recommend taking a zinc supplement of at least 15 mg a day, preferably 25 mg. Semen contains zinc and when you ejaculate you might have some zinc deficiency which leads to lower testosterone levels and generally being less manly. Zinc supplement boosts testosterone in men and improves the skin, muscles, hair and eyes among other things. Blaming masturbation and porn for all your problems is not the proper approach, but cutting them out is a good start to a healthier lifestyle.

    So you came to the conclusion that am blaming porn for everything.. yes I am . And I know the role I played too.. that’s why I don’t want to allow porn to ruin my life. I know what porn is now! I am just trying to testify to the fact that nofab is amazing.. and am grateful for finding this site.. stop quoting me.. I know what works for me. This is not a debate forum.

    How exactly have you been masturbating? Were you edging? Were you edging for 30+ minutes each fap? Were you fapping 2 or more times per day? Were you constantly switching scenes to get more aroused?

    Stop assuming all faps are the same. Some people masturbate for 5 minutes, some go for hours, multiple times per day.

    Its probably the edging that does the most damage, which fucks up the prostate. Why do you think that the #1 drug for hair loss was actually a prostate drug initially and they noticed it regrows hair?

    Masturbation is completely unnatural and bad for the human body, even if it's just two or three times a week. It's something that isn't even okay in moderation. And I don't care what convoluted rebuttals modern science comes up with to justify it. There is a HUGE difference between sexual intercourse and masturbation. The hormones your brain releases during sex are completely different to the hormones your brain releases during masturbation. Ever wonder why you feel fine after sex but feel like a garbage truck hit you after having a PMO? It's the hormonal difference.

    PMO causes a plethora of health problems, and I wouldn't be surprised if hair loss is one of them.

  12. I'm gonna argue with you on this.

    I'll start by agreeing with you on a few bits, obviously, Pornography is unhealthy.

    I'll start by saying that masturbation alone is healthy. Masturbation is a natural act, the only thing that makes it immoral is old rules of religion. But, it's also healthy to abstain. It all depends on where you are in life. if you're like most of us, going through our reboots, then yes, it's best to stay away from masturbation for the time being. You also must understand that the male body cannot retain old semen much like a female's body cannot retain the outer lining of her uterus, which becomes too old to be of any use. That's how you get wet dreams, masturbation is just you saying you want to get rid of that old sperm before it stays too long.

    If you are a man of Christian faith, you might argue the story of Onan is the reason while masturbation is wrong. But the fact was, Onan was not angering god by masturbating, he was angering god by shirking his duty by not providing his late brother's widow with offspring to care for her. he basically just used his brother's widow to get his rocks off by pulling out just before orgasm.

    I don't deny science when they say Masturbation is healthy in moderation (just like everything else) but overdoing it will definitely take your hair out.

    Are you serious? I edge a LOT. In fact, it is the ONLY thing I struggle with. I successfully completed a 7 and 14 day no edging challenge, but failed my 21 day attempt. Can you tell me more about this. I feel like my hair has thinned out significantly, and I am wondering if I can recover. Can I recover from this? Do you think its possible?

    I do think it is possible, but it requires a complete shift in the perception of sexuality and self arousal. That is, self arousal must stop, no matter the way one does it. Even if its through fantasy.

    Hmm, what drug were you referring to if I may ask? Also, I really have noticed a loss of hair when I edge, moreso than when I binge fapped.

    Its propecia (brand name). Generic name is Finasteride. It blocks dht conversion from testosterone. It is the most powerful anti hair loss drog and the only one besides minixidil, but that is just a vasodilator. Finasteride has very bad potential side effects.

    It makes sense to lose hair when edging IF hair loss is indeed linked to prostate ( theres a very interesting paper suggesting hair loss is actually a feature, a protection against prostate cancer, ill link it soon) because when you edge ( holding orgasm) the prostate starts running.

    So edging drives the prostate to exhaustion and failure.

    Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation

    I can send you the full study if you want

    I have one question for you too, do your pelvic muscles contract involuntary as well when you are aroused? Mostly the muscle at the base of your penis.
     
  19. I totally agree! Once you stop your hair grows faster and is stronger. If you already have balding in genetics you can’t do much and stress and diet definitely helps as well. If you’re eating shit while stressed out even if you’re on nofap, you will still have problems.
