Can PMO change the way you look?

physically i dont believe it will change you at all, however mentally it will change you, it will make you have no self confidence and self worth, that will than lead to you not taking care of yourself, which than could lead to physical changes from poor self maintenance, stress, anxiety, depression, etc.

 

I think this may have to do with semen retention. Although, there is not a lot of evidence and research to back these claims. We do know that there is a high concentration of vitamins and hormones in semen. So, many argue that ejaculating can cause you to lose precious amounts of these essential vitamins and hormones that contribute to a person's body composition.

Also, we know that after orgasm and ejaculation, testosterone, serotonin, and dopamine as well as many other neurotransmitters are imbalanced with a sharp increase in prolactin levels. This is more likely to be the cause of what you're describing. We all know the negative effects that lowered testosterone has on body composition. High levels of prolactin - due to masturbating daily - can lead to hair loss.

There are many chemical changes that occur in the body when someone masturbates. Over-doing it obviously can lead to hormonal imbalances which can lead to unpleasant changes in a person's body composition.

 

I think it absolutely can.

Masturbating will make your body and face asymmetrical. Unfortunately i'm the living proof of that, my body and muscles are totally asymmetrical, and that has given me infinite troubles through my life.

After 210 days on nofap i feel my body is changing, mi left shoulder is getting up and rotating, my legs are getting better etc.
Obviously i'll need time, i can't heal 20+ years of pmo in 200 days.

Beside the symmetry of the body, the chinese medicine also tells that masturbating can give you acne, bad skin, black dots, oily skin, and you will smell bad naturally.

 

I do believe that, I've experienced it

 

I think so too, the self confidence and happiness that the reboot brings brings makes you look awesome

 

Its frustrating that there isn't much scientific investigation into this topic. I believe it can change your physicality. The obvious is the penis.

 

i dont think it will change your penis, i have been hooked since i was 12 and im 20 now, my penis hasnt gotten any smaller over the years or anything.

 

i dont think personally masturbation will give you acne, people who have sex daily dont get acne so i dont see why masturbation would.

 

I've stopped masturbating for a few days and my erections are huge already.

 

If you binge surf for long periods of time, it tends to drain you, leaving you looking wasted, ashen, with dark circles (bags) around your eyes.
At least it's happened to me.

 

thats because you have more testosterone and more hornyness, your penis isnt changing at all just your mind.

 

I feel like masturbation has ruined my body in many ways

 

I think I was strangling it to death. So its a physical change.

 

I completely agree with what you said. I also have noticeable asymmetry in my arms and in my face because of chronic masturbation. Can you please update your progress and is your face becoming more symmterical ???

 

It definitely changes your penis. About 10 years into my marriage I told my husband his dick looked like it had shrunk. He agreed. We had no clue. Thought it was an illusion because he had put on a Lillie weight. He’s a year clean and his dick is so much bigger! Omg and it doesn’t look shriveled and gross anymore. We were literally just talking about the fact if we hadn’t seen it we wouldn’t believe it. He also has a stronger jaw line, and deeper voice. More hair! Quite a bit more hair. His finger nails have healed as well.

 

It's true, a few years ago when I wasn't so deep into the PMO mess, I'd have a better skin. Now with every PMO or even just MO the face gets really oily in just a couple of hours. Abstention from PMO for a few weeks will dissipate the oily skin effect. It might be due to the fact that the brain is overstressed over the years of heavy PMO and the temperature of the brain and head is increased, thus the skin gets more oily and that might lead to bad skin, acne and other things.

 

How much did your husband's penis shrink by? Did it shrivel up? I'm experiencing something similar.

 

Lol, we didn’t measure it, but it was very noticeable. Like I said, it was about 10 years into our marriage so we really thought it just “ looked” smaller, because how can a penis shrink?! It wasn’t until 6 months clean that both he and I were again looking and noticing that it was much, much bigger. And I’m not talking about when it was hard, I mean just everyday hanging there, lol. I’d say at least and inch longer? But like I said , we didn’t measure.
