Everyone wants their snake oil miracle cure. In this case snake milk?

Like nofap, here is another theory. Testosterone unreleased for long time may convert to Estrogen inside your body. And can cause cancer. It is well known that pend up testo & estro increases your chance of cancer.

And all that benefits you see are because you are pushing out your frustration in gym and are getting good sleep.

First, I follow the NoFap lifestyle. To clear things up, most of the NoFap community does not want to remove porn off the Internet, and prevent people from watching it. They are not feminists either, we're just guys who want to work together to help other guys improve their lives - it has more in common with the MRM than feminism.

Advertise your stupid cult somewhere else. And yes, you DO have more in common with Feminism than the MRM.

First of all, NoFap is, like other "self-help" fads, primarily based around control and confidence: you feel better because you believe you are taking control of your life by abstaining from masturbation, and thinking about doing something, not doing it, and patting yourself on the back for your self-control gives you a rush of endorphins. In essence, you are the one who's addicted to the confidence boost of denying yourself pleasure. It's like an eating disorder.

The problem is, you can get that same high off of doing something that's actually beneficial, like exercising, instead of snake oil fads.

But the other dimension of this is that NoFap is essentially a temperance movement. The reason that the idea is attractive to some men is because it takes advantage of pre-existing social conditioning making men believe, whether consciously or not, that their sexuality is impure, or evil. It may try to claim it's not moralizing, but it's just the old "You'll go blind and get hair on your palms!" shtick rebranded.

And the idea that male sexuality is evil and dangerous? The MRM is trying to fight it, Feminism is trying to reinforce it. But there's another dimension as well. Just like the "no sex outside marriage" purity rings, the fundamental purpose of NoFap is to use access to sex and intimacy to control men's behavior, in particular by keeping men dependent on satisfying women's demands - in the first case to be worthy of marriage, in the second to be worthy of a relationship or one-night stand. If men are able to satisfy their need for sexual release via masturbation with porn, sex toys, or even robots, and their need for emotional intimacy with platonic friendships with other men, a major method of both societal control (e.g. men work themselves to death despite their employers pocketing nearly all the productivity because they need to have a good job to be dateable) and individual control collapses.

Maybe for men with genuine porn addictions NoFap is a good thing, but for the vast majority, it's not taking you off a drug, it's keeping you paying the dealers' prices instead of growing your own.

I would take testosterone supplements if it wasn't for the hair loss side effect.

I have mixed feelings about nofap:

I feel overall more focused after a few days without peeling my banana
I like peeling my banana though
Stress relief
Prevents prostate cancer

Odds are I'll wank another one tomorrow.

NoFap lifestyle

You're pathetic. Sorry, but that's that. You're a simp. You're looking for r/incels or something. Go ahead and jack off, it will literally make no difference in the scheme of things.

As for Testosterone, it's a wonder drug. You already have it. Stop trying to be a woman. K? K. Now fuck off.
