It's late, I am typing from mobile and English is not my native language. So in case of any incoherence, I ask for understanding.
Instead of attacking possible negative sides or mentioning minority of guys who didn't profit from trp, as I think it would be logical fallacy - no rules should be based on exceptions; I will simply write what good did no fap for me.
I wouldn't believe it myself. But trial and error with undisputable evidence is not possible to deny.
First. Absolutely other person. The way I feel, think, and react. After just few days of no fap it is different reality. I feel like real me, and I feel that very deep parts of me which we usually can't influence, deep rooted mental processes and reactions changed. It's like the other me is some other person.. Depressed, depleted, fucked up bitch. Slave of his own chemistry probably. My beliefs are stronger, my thoughts consistent, my feeling of confidence is deep, firm, and unshakeable, in a way that no ammount of mental gymnastics can achieve. It is so different that I am afraid of being fucking schizophrenic.
The way I look. I can't notice any real difference in look - like I still look the same. Didn't grow new arm or bigger dick. But radiance is different. The way I radiate, I feel it even when I look on the mirror. Look in the eyes is also different. It's deep, strong, non agressive and meaningful look. I am not expert on how to describe radiance. But it's way different. Warmer, more present perhaps.
Fitness. I didn't get any strength or become faster, but I don't get tired as much. After 10 hours working day and gym training I am still ready to do shit. Overall energy is better and one thing I did notice however is I don't need so kuch warmup before lifting weights. I wake up really fresh even after 6 hours of sleeping.
Wit. Fucking wit. Whether I am talking to a bitch, boss, or chatting in grocery line, I have all the best answers ready. Not so long ago it would take me few days to come with right answers, words, and attitude.
Perhaps the biggest difference. Sexual appetites. I am 29 now. Approaching 30. I can't describe that beautiful feeling when a cutie sit next to me in a train and I get a boner strong enough t cut wood with it. Or when girls blushy cheeks or sweet voice are enough to give me at least mild arousal. I feel definitely more animalistic towarda women and in a healthy way. Instead of taking our clothes of, hoping that dick will get up, and blowjob for 10 mimutes in hopes it will stay hard..I am willing to passionately rip her clothes of anytime. I finally feel attracted to women. I was before. But last few years..it was more like social conditioning: "you're supossed to like her!! Go feel something!!". Now it's really more genuine and raw attraction..feels natural. Second, surprisingly, I connect better with women. It would seem logical that with all that animal insticts kicking in I depersonalised women. No, that's what I did before. I now really connect and feel them better. Which leads me to..
I am better human being. Finally, without brain fog, I am able to take care of myself first instead of being little supplicating frustrated bitch. Auch. And now I also treat others better and I feel more respect towards people. I feel connections better. I finally managed to put myself first and not in selfish or cruel way. I don't feel that deeeeeeep insecurity anymore which made me treat people like shit. I am finally free, happy, and successfull human being that I fucking am. And it's beautiful to be healthy, to put yourself first but also be a decent and helpful human being and give some love as well. Just now I learned, that putting others down was act of insecurity.. and not dominance.
I have more drive. Instead of doing just minimal to pass by, now I have will to rock the boat. I don't just do my job anymore enough to get a salary. I actually put energy into my work, I give it all in. Just in this few months I doubled my sallary and I actually started to enjoy whatever is it that I am doing.
I do not spend as much money. I am free of some insecurities that I probably tried to fill out by going out all the time and buying useful shit. I am spending almost nothing and I am happier then ever.
Maybe I will add some more benefits later.. Should something come to my mind.
I also want to say, I wasn't some kind of neck beard incel. I was actually good looking, outgoing and successfull guy..but it is like that too much fapping threw me in..I don't know..state of psychosis or submissiveness..and in that time I sabotage the good things I have done.
I also need to add, when I amin no fap mode, I also do the next things: I lift pretty hard (three times a week, max four) and very important..I don't indulge in any kind of multimedia. After sometime I actually find mobile phone, TV, or loud music very annoying. I dare to say that not indulging in multimedia have almost the same effect as no fap. It's possible that it's all about resetting our dopamine receptors. Life just feels more real.
And few answers on classic questions.
I don't believe, and it's scientifically proven that no faping will not increase your testosterone. Just forget it. However, it is perfectly possible that you have enough but you can't use it. Namely, lot of faping is fastest way to dull your dopamine receptors..and it seems that in process of dulling your dopamine receptors your glands that release testosterone are also blocked or inhibited.
There is healthy masturbation and there is overmasturbation. Let me describe you healthy masturbation: if you really can't get laid after not busting a not for two weeks, jerk it off dude. Keep ejaculations to 4-5 times a month, don't use porn, and you'll be just fine.
DON'T edge. Effects of edging are worse than fapping constantly. If u don't have to piss or fuck don't touch your dick. No buts.
I am not sure why, but after few days of no fap I find cold showers extremely easy. It just comes natural to me.
Here ya go.. This was more of a rant, without some practical advice. I hope I will motivate at least someone to try no fap..and don't forget, as written, there are also other things dulling your dopamine receptors. Although fapping is 100x strongest.
Let's face it, be honest - I had problems. Not big, but I had them - otherwise I wouldn't be here writing this post. No fap and resetting my dopamine receptors helped me, and first step in finding a way is to first admit you have some problems. Trp is factory in which we repair broken or damaged men. Unfortunately, that's most of males today, anywhere in the world. Don't reject helpful things because you can't admit things could be better. Honesty lies at the beginning ov every imrovement.
