I think that your belief about fap/nofap will greatly affect how you feel after ejaculating or abstaining.
Sometime in my life, I did buy into the Taoist philosophy energy preservation thing by abstaining ejaculating. What I remember from that life period is that:
1. I was feeling exhausted after ejaculating and possibly losing mental clarity because of being tired
2. My semen volume did shrink to a ridiculous few drops because I had long period of abstinence (For me, splashing my partner with my load is something that I like very much...)
Now, I make sure that I do ejaculate regularly (preferably from real sex but at least once a week by fapping if needed) and I feel much better and my semen volume did return to a more healthy quantity...
The funny thing is I wonder how much our beliefs do influence how we feel after ejaculating....
Based on your answer, I suppose it may be related to one's belief, and at the same time, there is perhaps an optimal frequency of ejaculation.
In this case, it seems to me that total abstinence may be a bad thing. (Assuming that a guy's not getting a real sex) Again, it may be dependent on one's belief, so I am not sure what to follow. Obviously, finding a good girl (aka a girl who's not going to cause me any trouble) and having sex would be the most ideal thing, but if that doesn't happen within next few weeks, I wonder what I should do. This area (ejaculation necessary (even if through masturbation), or abstinence okay) feels very grey/undetermined to me.
Either way, I have been holding back for 5~6 days, and haven't looked at porn. (I did get to see some accidental stuff as there was some random pop up that came up from some random site, but it didn't turn me on.) I think I would be able to elongate the status without much hassle, but I find holding abstinence is a delicate process, that I can go downhill very easily.
Well, I wonder what Shannon's thought is on the matter.
