Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

I honestly haven't noticed much either but i've only been using the program for a week. Is it really necessary to completely abstain from masturbation? I understand not watching porn but is there something in the program which commands the sub-conscious to avoid masturbation?

If this is true then does masturbation prevent the entirety of the script from successfully reprogramming the subconscious?

Going for such long periods without masturbation may lead to embarrassing premature ejaculation during sex when it comes. I understand if you are getting a lot of sex then masturbation is not necessary but if the sex isn't there wouldn't it just lead to more frustration and neediness?

When you don't masturbate, you accumulate testosterone and sexual energy. You transmute that into achieving things you want, for example, sex. Personally, I find a lot more girls attracted to me when I don't masturbate, because they can sense my energy. The aura expands and hits more people when you retain your semen. No it's not placebo - it's real stuff. So if you ask if it's necessary to abstain from masturbation? Well there are more benefits to abstain than to masturbate. You don't need to abstain, but it just helps more.

I masturbated last Thursday before my date, that got rid of my neediness and I got laid at the end of the night and I had a lot more stamina, so I don't completely agree with your theory but I guess people are different.

It is just a question of balance. If you tend to suffer from premature ejaculation, releasing some pressure before a sexual encounter can definitely help.

Science has demonstrated that ejaculation had minimal influence on testosterone (Just Google 'ejaculation testosterone' to find content talking about that)

Also, it is healthy to ejaculate regularly to reduce prostate cancer risks. Doctors says you should do it about 4 times a week. Also, consider that the various male sexual glans are like a muscle. You must use your plumbing for them to be in shape and awake. It is like the adage saying that the appetite comes by eating...

Masturbation and porn watching will be a problem if it becomes an addiction and a way from avoiding having sexual encounters.

Abstinence do eshave an effect on libido that I like. When I feel horny, it does motivate me to take action. So I leverage that effect to my advantage but abstinence over about a week, in my experience, it does not continue to build up the sex drive/motivation to have sex...

Agreed with most things here. From my experience I can say that once every 5 - 7 days gives you a good energy build up and doesn't lower the energy too much after release.

That nofap stuff is highly personal. However, some people don't even want to try it before making up their minds. I too was thinking before that jerking off once in a while was okay. Until I tried nofap for more than 60days. Now I can't just go back at all and now I know how harmful it was for me. That was really self-destructive...The benefits outweigh by far the few minutes of delusional pleasure you would get by fapping. Just the fact that life became infinitely more pleasurable is priceless. I do more in less time and everything is fun. I have that stupid smile all the time and everything seems more and more enjoyable.
Idk about the benefits of nofap regarding sex and women as I couldn't care less at all, but my mood is great and life seems more easy.

So I think people should try at least. As it is very personal you don't know what you might get from it.
