Definitive answer on nofap

Is there any definitive scientific proof of the harms of masturbation? I personally feel like shit after fapping and feel awesome after days and weeks of not fapping, but I don't know if this is placebo or if there is a scientific reason behind this. Pic unrelated.

Fap whenever you want. Normal guys have done it all throughout history basically once a week. It's completely normal.

Porn is the real issue. Fuck that kike shit.

If masterbation was bad for you, do you really expect (((science))) to tell you to stop doing it

>people have been saying this for thousands of years
>try it yourself
>its true
>BUT I NEED PROOF

Public education fucked you up, bro. Cupid's Poisoned Arrow by Marnia Robinson for a well referenced book on the topic.

nobody profits of not watching porn. and studies like that would cost money.

just be part of the elite chads who dont touch their dicks like monkeys and let the coomers cope.

>Is there any definitive scientific proof of the harms of fucking a dog? I personally feel like a piece of shit after doing it and feel better after days and weeks of not doing it, but I don't know if this is placebo or if there is a scientific reason behind this.

I use it to keep my cult of incels agitated and sexually frustrated to maintain dominance over them and make them more susceptible to suggestion. Like how you might starve an animal to make it more aggressive.

I don't even get what point you're trying to make.

You've established predictive power to suggest that it's bad for you already. Why do you need scientific proof when you have on the ground proof?

It's not harmful if:
>You don't strangle your dick
>Don't overdo it
>Don't porn overdose
Basically moderation is the key.
Do you feel like shit after cumming, or only after masturbating? The former is a thing some men experience.

I experience the same thing as well. definitely not placebo

Masturbation in moderation isn't bad. Porn is terrible though

If you genuinely have an addiction to masturbation/porn and it causes negative effects on your life then you should stop or reduce the amount of times you do it per week (as with all addictions, obviously). Going on nofap just because you think it magically fixes your life is retarded.

I have periods where I masturbate 2-3 times a day for weeks straight, typically once in the morning before getting out of bed and once before going to bed. Then I have periods where I don't even think about it for several weeks. What I have noticed personally is that the fapping is not the cause, but the effect, if that makes sense. It's not the sickness but rather just a symptom or another sickness you struggle with.
In my case I'm bipolar, and during my periods when I'm really down is when I fap, as fapping is one of the things that give me some kind of momentary pleasure that let's me escape the otherwise grey, painful and depressing reality I have to face. That along other things like isolation, alcohol and food. However, when my mood is high is when I don't fap or engage in unhealthy escapism, often laughing at myself for ever thinknig about fapping in the first place, it's weird

No of course not. The real original benefits of nofap are that actual sex with women is better because your donger isn't worn out from too much stroking. Somewhere along the line trolls made up sciencey sounding benefits like fapping drains your testosterone which means you go bald and shit. But it is all super silly sounding stuff that you can tell right away is fake.

I used to think swearing was bad, now I don't give a shit. Its possible to be conditioned into thinking something is bad when it is not.

Thanks fren, will explore those links

Swearing is bad in the wrong context. Same as masturbation. Moderation and right place at right time. You know if it's excessive

>Swearing is bad in the wrong context. Same as masturbation.
You mean at church?

Yes, and nannas house

Yes, it is a problem. It is a sign of lack of self control and weakness.

Physically, you become addicting to the dopamine release, which is bad. There are also issues with prolactin affecting your test production. And sperm contains many important things like Zinc, which is not good to deplete from your body because you need it.

If you believe in the metaphysical, it is obviously a perverted, destructive act.

Look up spermatogenesis

Zinc depletion because of jerking off is bro science. Sperm production happens regardless of you jerking off.
Negative effects on dopamine is true, but again only if you let it become an addiction. It's not different in any way from a sex addiction (except that your hands are always available)
Metaphysical depends on which system you believe in. Most systems that condemn masturbation also condemn hating niggers, and if you don't hate niggers, why are you here?

yea.
look in the mirror
>see faggot
see, look at what fapping has done to you

it's not a placebo. your body is a machine with one purpose: to cum inside a female. when you fulfill this purpose your body doesn't have a reason to exist anymore.
