This can't possible be a three year flatline...

My social anxiety also went away with semen retention.

 

The problem is the semen retention you're talking about is different on here though, NoFap is primarily just a addiction forum to help people overcome that problem like porn and masturbation. I think they'll always say something against it or what not, is there a SR forum you can go to? I ask Because you mentioned the people here made the benefits worse, so logically I would think if you went somewhere specifically for SR you'd feel better being around those people instead of these.

 

I can't ever remove my anxiety and my depression will just keep coming back, unless you have the cure for autism I'm screwed. I also said for me it'd be like something I couldn't catch, not you. That's why I say at least I'd feel better for a while if that happened to me.

 

True but I did have an addiction i would watch p for hours and fap 4-5 times daily so this is kinda were it all started and then i learned about semen retention and once i kicked the addiction (took about 3 years to finally kick the addiction) i started practicing semen retention. Also you will lose your benefits if you orgasm with your partner i know that from experience.

 

THANK YOU im on 180 DAYS and the benefits are no where near where they were when i first started nofap at like 14 days and my anxiety started to come back but its still a lot better then when i was pmoing so i have to wonder what changed im currently trying to figure that one out.

 

At least you finally got rid of the addiction.

How would you ever have sex with your partner? That must suck for them as well.

 

IK it does suck we do have sex i just don't Orgasm or at least try my damnest not too. We started having sex again but then I was in my initial reboot we didn't have sex.

 

what is DA and is that post saying i should orgasm?

 

But why would it make you feel terrible after sex? Have you gotten your serotonin and dopamine levels checked? Just wondering if either are already low and that's why once you do it you end up feeling bad again.

 

I feel bad after i orgasm because I lose that sexual energy that i was experiencing among other things. And no i never got that tested.

 

Ah okay, I just remember doctors have said that if you already have low serotonin or dopamine levels, when you orgasm they'll drop even lower or something. I know depression and anxiety can lower those, that's why I was wondering.

 

There's a fine line between placebo and tolerance. I don't think the benefits of semen retention were a placebo. But I do think the underlying issue with the brain hasn't been resolved and Sr was just a bandaid. You know how many things I tried that worked for a short time, just to fade away?
Iron
Zinc
Libido herbs
Detox/sauna/foots spas
Chlorella, heavy metal removal
Jogging/weights
Ozone
Antibiotics
Neuro feedback
Stem cells
Rebooting

I have been rebooting for years and noticing the benefits are no where near what they used to be. It's sad, but the body adapts to its state that got it there in the first place. (Trauma, stress, viral, etc),
if the underlying imbalance isn't resolved sr won't fix it.
The ones addicted to porn but still have somewhat normal functions and have the desire and ability to feel good probably do the best when they follow NoFap "rules" but for some it just not that easy

 

sounds to me youre a little bitter and looking for sad excuses to give up. you choice man.

 

A journey to a better life. A life without porn and masturbation.

 

Libido is supposed to come back without the need for porn. That's the whole idea. If it doesn't after x years , probably something else going on
