    Good evening,

    I started nofap just over year ago and unsurprisingly my life changed for the better completely. However, I’m 14 and in school so wanking is the only sexual activity that is possible. Are there downsides to a lack of any sexual activity in the long term such as lower testosterone ,and if there is ,should I wank and have the early benefits come back and obviously avoid PMO for the foreseeable future. I’m not very horny so i don’t want you to think I’m looking for an excuse to.

    many thanks, tom

    Nah there are no long term effects, that are medically proven. There are actually benefits you can get from actual sexual activity (with another person), but nothing noticeable from masturbation.

  3. Its better to just hold it in and go crazy. When I was your age I didn’t know about masturbation but I was constantly horny. I had a great teenagerhood. When I got into my twenties and started ejaculating more often my life took a dark turn.

  4. Why are you doing nofap at your age?
    Certainly there are some downsides. You should consider them carefully.
    Only two of them:
    1 Not ejaculating at young age may be a cause for prostate cancer in later life.
    2 if you don't masturbate you'll never learn what pleases you and what doesn't. How will you know that when you are in a partnership.
    Many people here wouldn't agree to me, but you should carefully think about if it's "okay" to ignore science and/or to follow crazy opinions about what religion tells...

    metobefree has a a point, 14 to start Nofap is crazy, dont do it, your body's still during teenaging devellopping and what not, like 14 was when I started instinctive fapping, it's normal for a teenager your still on devellopment and you should get used to the changes going around you before you are actually fully ready for Nofap.

    Starting Nofap at the beginning of your fapping can land you a lot of ED issues.

    On one hand many vets here started younger than you, between fap and porn there is only a small hop so to speak on the other consider this excerpt.

    “IN A FIRST-CLASS STATEROOM on a cruise ship bound for New York from Alexandria, Egypt, a frail, middle-aged writer and educator named Sayyid Qutb experienced a crisis of faith. “Should I go to America as any normal student on a scholarship, who only eats and sleeps, or should I be special?” he wondered. “Should I hold on to my Islamic beliefs, facing the many sinful temptations, or should I indulge those temptations all around me?” It was November 1948. The new world loomed over the horizon, victorious, rich, and free. Behind him was Egypt, in rags and tears. The traveler had never been out of his native country. Nor had he willingly left now.”

    Excerpt From: Lawrence Wright. “The Looming Tower.” iBooks.

  7. If I would be at your age I would rather advise myself to avoid fap at all cost and save this to woman and use this energy to develop health and wellbeing in my life.

    No, there are no physical downsides other than maybe some blueballs.

    If you can do NoFap, do it. 14 is a great time to let those energy used by body for developing good brain and muscle power.
    If you just want an excuse to fap, google will provide many benefits.

    That's sounds pretty silly... can you give us scientific studies about the prostate cancer thing? Why are you trying to scare the boy? He's not horny anyway, why should he force it?

    @Bigmantingz, Tom you're doing great just trust your intuition. I'm sure there are millions of people who have really happy lives and nothing bad happens to them from not choking their chicken.

  11. I would suggest that you don’t M. It’ll lead you to a dangerous path that’s difficult to overcome. Since you’re not sexually aroused then you have no reason to do so anyway. Just focus on self-development like exercise, reading books, learning skills, etc.

    I know a lot of people who didn’t masturbate and lived like a king and there are no studies backing you up.
    And how can fapping teach you about sex ?
    @Bigmantingz don’t listen to people on nofap for scientific advice mostly,MOSTLY.
    I wish i had found nofap at 14.
