  5. I know it's a bit late, but in Islam, scholars say reading Quran in arabic script purifies your mind and improves memory. I am yet to learn arabic alphabet, so I can not tell whether or not it worked for me. But my close friends and many muslim brothers I know are really clean from filth. Even if there is a slightest cue to some indulgence they hide their sights

    Sorry for answering you too late.

    What does pf wheat means?

    For sugar, consider alterenative sugar like stevia rebaudiana leafs. It is expensive, but only tiny amounts of the leaf is enough to make food sweat. Although it has slight bitter vipaka (aftertaste) like many potent sugar.

    Also consider taking an ayurvedic herbal formula for your health issue. Fill tridosha test in order to find out your body/psyche constitution which will help you to buy proper ayurvedic formula.

    Avoid formulas with uric acid. Take chelated multi-mineral food supplement instead.

    Last year after filling my tridosha test, and experimenting for a few month, I found out that for my health problem (hypothyroidism) the best formula was Kanchanar-Guggulu formula. Which is very expensive when imported to europe (I am from an European Slavic country). But every gram of this formula was worth the money I spend on it. Being in India you have big advantage to buy Ayurvedic herbal formulas under much cheaper price than the rest of the world.

    I think that TCM and Ayurveda have the best knowledge on herbal medicine. I firstly thought to use TCM herbal formulas, but after I found out that TCM use much mushrooms, I begun to use Ayurvedic herbal formulas, because I believe in Vedic spiritual path. And mushrooms are in tamas guna, and are suitable when one wants to have offspring, BC they stimulate svadishtana chakra. But I want to live celibacy lifestyle.

    Does this Chinese source of information mention anything about daily weight gain (particularly around the buttocks!)? It's something that's started occurring ever since I started NoFap at the start of 2017.

    It's currently a bigger source of stress than my PIED! (Because with PIED at least I know that you can recover from it).

    Nofap wont magically turn you into a greek god looking-ass on its own. its only one part of many things that you have to watch out for if you want to be the best you can be. pay more attention to what/how/when you eat and other lifestyle related habits as well.

    My exercise and diet habits are definitely not the cause.

    As I mentioned, my body started gaining after a little while after I started rebooting (probably around couple of months).

    There is definitely some sort of hormonal effect of nofap that we dont know about that. My testerone levels almost double after I had started nofap.

    Now, unfortunately, I believe my body is now converting this 'excess' testosterone to estrogen, which is making my lower body fat.

    I have no idea how to stop it.

    i havent researched this topic enough to make any assumptions. though im really not sure about that last statement. there are a lot of things in our modern lives that do indeed fuck woth our hormones though (but i heavily doubt its the high levels of testosterone that needs to blamed)


    this video covers the topic pretty nicely.

    Don't wory! Among men, estrogen receptors aren't as sensitive to estrogen as among women.

    I don't know why you think that (part of) your testosterone is being converted into estrogen? To my knowledge, DHEA is converted into testosterone in men, or into estrogen in women. Testosterone then breaks up into smaler molecules if it isn't used in masturbation or intercourse. Testosterone is broken down into smaller molecules by enzyme aromataze pathway.

    i thought Testosterone converts to DHEA?

    I think it's converting to estrogen as, blood works show, my testosterone level were 10-14 nmol/L pre noFap and after Nofap it's around 22-25!

    I did 6 tests before i started NoFap and 3 tests after it.

    Being inclined towards Vedic spiritual path I would like to ad fourth principle:

    4. consider all women exept your own wife as mother. This way sexual phantasies will occur less frequently. OR if it appears when you actively work something, just change the picture in your mind of an idealy beautiful woman ready to indulge with you with a picture of a chaste woman.

    I have one question regarding night emission. I trained myself so well that when they occur, I stand up immediately out of bed, do excercise described below my posts, spread my leg in order to not iritate genital area. That way full I prevent full blown orgasm and full blown emission. It is not specially hard to wake up and do this if you have some type of insomnia. So I didn't say about me in order to praise myself.

    The que3stion is: when nocturnal emission occurs is it better to let it happen completely??? Because I stoped emiossion and orgasm, say, at its first 1/3 part. Then, i had burning sensation in my uretra and sensitivity in my glans penis for few hours

    But if I let it occur completely I would spend far more energy in wain in form of full blown orgasm and emission, which can damaga my self confidence.

    My limited understanding regarding "normal daytime" ejaculations, is that it is not healthy for the "pipes" to forcefully stop yourself once the ejaculation process has started. I know there are certain taosit and yoga(?) techniques regarding this but that is beyond my sphere of knowledge to comment on. What I personally have done is as I wake up I just lay there a few seconds without touching anything and then go and clean myself in the shower. This to me, for now at least, seems like the healthiest option.

    Thank you for the exercise suggestion in your signature btw, will keep in mind and try it!

    On a similar note, I've recently been doing horse stance and this kidney strenghtening qigong exercise (as recommended by soaring eagle) and more sporadically kegels in order decrease the frequency of my nightly emissions and so far for the past 2 weeks they seem to have been working well, however it might be too early to tell. But I thought for anyone looking for some exercises to do in order to decrease their emission frequency, these might be worth a try :)
    I've seen both the horse stance and kidney strenghtening in general be recommended elsewhere on the internet in taosit circles too, so there seems to be some basis in this.

    I dont think this is healthy. Its similar to imagining some weird stuff to not be aroused, or to delay ejaculation. those images then become ingrained in your brain.

    do you workout or do some exercises?

    maybe your body assumed that if you stopped having orgasms then you stopped having sex so of course you stopped masturbating so you got more testosterone
    so thats good but you also stopped having sex (or thats what the body thinks) so you dont need T so it converts to estrogen

    Hi there guys! I wrote nothing on the nofap forum for at least six month, or even much more. I have just come to say you that I am alive, if anybody noticed me, or asked for me on this forum.
