Frequent masturbation CAN effect testosterone levels!!!

hey everyone.
I've been away for quite a while but now I'm back and would like to share my thoughts.
the first lesson I've learnt recently is that you should never ever keep on fapping when you relapse.you should get back on track and reset your counter as soon as possible.that was my mistake and I don't want anyone else to make it like I did.when you relapse just make sure you start your new abstinence as soon as possible.

OK let's talk about something that I am actually writing this for. I've been going to gym for almost a year now.Let's say that I used to be too skinny and the reason I started lifting weights was because I wanted to put on some weight.My BMI got in normal range(It's 19.2 now) and I am pretty satisfied with my progress.but the last 5 months was kinda tough for me.I didn't gain any muscle mass for the duration and I felt I hit the rock bottom(back then I was fapping like everyday like 2 to 3 times in on day sometimes...).I never thought frequent and excessive masturbation can ACTUALLY effect testosterone levels but it does.I read a lot of articles online about this and I realized I am just wasting my time in gym because fapping daily had decreased my testosterone levels in a noticeable way.when I started going to gym I wasn't this addicted to PMO and I would PMO like once a week.But then things got kind of though in my life and I started PMO like every day to shake the stress away.
I felt less strong in gym and I wasn't making any progress whatsoever.Then I realized what was wrong.
After reading a lot I realized that abstinence for one month can increase testosterone levels but sexual abstinence for too long (like 8 months or more) can have a negative impact on testosterone levels. Scientists have advised us to engage in sexual intercourse as a healthy way to release our sexual energy and stop masturbating excessively.If we don't have a partner then masturbating once a week should be OK.You can say that those researches were shit and masturbating daily is fine.Well go ahead and do it.but we all know too much of something good always turns bad and we all know how we feel when we masturbate excessively. So let's stop lying to ourselves and accept the truth that a successful guy wouldn't fapp like everyday.You can't imagine yourself as a strong and wealthy healthy guy who masturbates? can u?
I intend to start 90 day hard mode and I am already on day 4.I think that is a great way to leave this addiction.Specially when the creators of this community advise us to do so.
Hope this helps.
Smile, You are enough!
Good luck!
 
.If we don't have a partner then masturbating once a week should be OK.

Hi, I like your arguments a lot but feel that your story is unfolding a basic question on this site: as mentioned above it is fine for you to fap once a week? Is that hard-mode or do i misunderstand? I am asking this because after 6 days I still try to keep my self from even touching me in an enjoyable way and am trying to even stay away from every though in this direction (kinda hard). Ok, i am married and my sex-life has vanished for more than 2 years so if intercourse would come back I probably would not abstain from it... But in the same way as non-porn masturbation is it hard-mode in the sense of no PMO then?
 
When I talked about masturbating once a week, I was actually referring to those experiments. Scientists believe it's fine to do that if you don't have a partner.
For us fabstronauts it's the other way around.As I said in ending paragraph we need that 90 day hard mode to completely rewire our brain and get used to normal levels of dopamine.I am not encouraging anyone to masturbate because that is how this addiction started and it's definitely not the way to put and end to it.
I was just saying how frequent masturbation can cause harm more than we can imagine. Many people say that masturbation is healthy but I think if a fapstonaut say that it means he is just dragging out his healing process and thus delaying his salvation."Masturbation is not OK during rebooting at all ". bottom line.
 
Ok,that is understand and my aim is to stay with this. A big part in this is actually covered by my wish to not OBJECTIFY my love, my wife as it has happened in the past and has taken away any ability to normal sexual behaviour towards her. That is one of the two main reasons why i came to this community, while the other is simply that I lost will power and concentration by trying to fill EVERY time being alone with PMO (and for example edging for hours in my office at night) ... However, as I mentioned I am married and what should I do if my call for a healthy sex-life is answered by my wife? 90 days is a long time when your wish is to make real love to your SO. What is the O of PMO in this case?

Well a lot of side of effects of pmo like PIED(porn induced penile dysfunction) can be healed only by abstaining from orgasms.If you don't have a PIED and are able to have sexual intercourse with your wife then honestly I don't see why not.If you have problems with your sex life or your wife, try talking to her or with a counselor.
See, we can be selective here. Some people may want to try only P free challenge because they believe aiming for PMO at once may give them nothing but failure after failure and sheer despair.So they simply try some more "achievable and realistic" targets instead of going on a relapse streak.
No one knows you the way you know yourself.Be honest with yourself, make a decision and commit to it.If you never try you'll never know it works or not! It can't happen overnight and it takes time to leave this addiction. You are definitely allowed to make mistakes but you are ought to learn from them.
Honestly I think your wife is lucky to have you because you said she's one of the reasons you're here.You are an inspiration to us all and I know you will succeed sooner or later.Because thousand of hundreds like us have made it.
Good luck mate and welcome to this fabulous community!
 
I don’t think MO once a week is good, it’s more like once a month at most. Read somewhere that semen comes from the food we eat. It goes, good, chyle, fat, bone then marrow then from marrow comes the semen. Something along thoe lines. Well, the entire process takes 30 days to make the semen.
