    Is it true that obstaining from masterbation, sex, porn whatever increase testesterone or is it just a myth? Seen a few threads where people claim it's true. And being on day 56 I know my libido is a lot higher than when I started. Also is it true that when doing NoFap, you release more pheromones to the opposite sex, is that all linked?
     
  2. I believe there is some truth to it. For example many boxers go 90 days without any form of sex. That obviously must boost their testosterone and focus otherwise they would not do it.

    Interesting, never actually heard about that before. Learn something new everyday
     
  4. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that it's 90 days prior to having a fight when they do it.

    Yeah makes sense. Also know some people have claimed they have gotten deeper voices from NoFap. Whether that's a bit of an exaggeration I don't know. I haven't really noticed much difference myself
     
  6. And also in other sports like MMA some of them don't have sex the night before a planned fight. I suppose this could be the same in any sport. Football, soccer, tennis etc... With the deep voice thing that could also be true. Think about it. A lot of people who fap suffer from anxiety. I can't speak for everyone but i know that sometimes my voice goes weird, weak and high pitched... But when you stop fapping you feel more mature, higher confidence so naturally you would talk and act that way. Hence a deeper voice with more authority and confidence. Instead of a weak, low confidence whiny one.

    I think you missed that part where the testosterone spike occurs at around day 6 and 7 but then drops, meaning it does increase it, but not in the way we would like to have it :p

    @Steve Sancteria, that's why I said it's complicated and it was a short answer.

    I just wanted to be a foolish idiot while stumbling around the forum :D on the long run you could certainly say NoFap does no magic to testosterone ^_^
