TESTICLE CANCER !

I don't think so.

If you feel any lumps or anything that's not quite right, you should go and see a doctor and have it check out.

 

No, it doesn't cause cancer. Continue rebooting.

 

Unlikely. Edging's a good way to get an infection like epididymitis, though. That's what happened to me. It hurt so bad it even affected the way I was walking. Not recommended!

As for testicular cancer, the major risk factors are having undescended testes (cryptorchidism) as an infant; having a father or brother who has had testicular cancer, or having been diagnosed with fertility problems. I doubt PMO will have increased your risk.

 

Ahah Man your answer was so simple and neutral and in same time so deep explicit waaw!

 

Mutated cells cause cancer.

There's a 1 in 3 chance any of us will get cancer. So fuck it. Life is chance regardless what we do.

 

Your counter is about 20 points out. Please correct this.

Is that what your doctor told you? Otherwise, where is this cause and effect documented? As of now, I don't believe it.

 

Fair enough. So reset it. Put the correct date of the last time you relapsed and it will show the correct number of days.

 

You don't need to delete it, Put the correct date of the last time you relapsed and it will be fixed.

 

Hmm, that is not true is it? According to your status, you relapsed last week:

You know, in the end there is no official set of rules. It is abot being honest to yourself. Most people here set their counter back to zero even when they relapse after one year. Nevertheless, this can be demotivating, which is why I'm making a sort of fap calendar to keep an overview over my behavior. Click the link in the lower right of my signature to see it.

I'd say that you can make your own rules, if you want to, but may be you should say so in your signature to not confuse other users. This minus 5/10 thing is a rough estimation that someone made up. There's no scienctific value to it whatsoever, but if you like it, use it.

 

As someone with a medical background I've never heard of edging or masturbating giving testicle cancer. It also seems pretty unlikely when I think about that. Never read a real scientific study on the subject though.

The risk factors are mainly these stated by @MSTie.

 

Well, I guess a few hundreds of years ago people certainly fapped far less than today. Thus, in case the prevalence of testicle cancer hasn't dramatically dropped since then, there should be no need to worry.

 

Deferring ejaculation, such as with edging, @IGY , can cause the epididymis to become engorged. This causes the pain that we call 'blue balls'. However, if you do it often enough without ejaculating -- as I did in one of my earliest streaks -- the semen buildup in the epididymis can lead to inflammation and then infection. Generally, the body prevents this by expelling the semen in the form of a nocturnal emission. At the time I thought that I was doing great because I hadn't ejaculated yet. How wrong I was!

I don't think it's that common. I mean, why would you be hanging onto your cum without shooting it for several days despite being physically aroused? But I have read of other instances of it happening on the nofap subreddit.
