I've been doing lots of research in the last year due to my own trials with PMO. It became clearer to me how completely damaging fapping may be for the human body and brain. I'd read scientific studies about androgen receptors, and the endocrine system. Testimonies from people who'd experienced differences mental and physical. Also prostate cancer and the side effects of anti-androgens to treat this; how these effects are the same as those from fapping. I've then seen the worrying misinformation put out by many generic medical websites, which are quite wrong and make me wonder if any of them are funded by the parent companies of pornography websites/studios. After all, if people aren't fapping, this industry would die. These questionable medical websites cite the same boring tid bit "masturbation doesn't lower testosterone in the long run" and there's no mental or physical harm.
What I've found, is fapping suppresses/nullifies the androgen receptors in the brain, especially if done daily, filling their 'locks' with 'keys' from other sources of dopamine and such. Testosterone then cannot be uptaken, and a person will therefore begin to suffer the mental and physical side effects of testosterone deficiency. This in turn allows an increase in estrogen.
· Anxiety.
· Depression.
· No drive/low will.
· Fatigue (oxytocin).
· Poorer memory and concentration.
· Possible mood swings.
· Increase in body fat, namely abdominal.
· Decrease in muscle gain/easy loss of lean mass.
· Potential for osteoporosis.
· Potential for low libido.
· Stunted pubic/masculine traits such as higher pitched voice, jawline width, head hair growth (I'll delve more into), though increased body hair post puberty interestingly.
Mentally and physically, fapping practically destroys a person. They might as well be taking anti-androgens. When I'd come across all this information (including studies from ncbi) it was quite shocking to me, because the afore mentioned seemingly propaganda pieces by textbook medical websites, suggest there's zero issues.Though people here know otherwise, or they wouldn't be attempting to stop and change their life.
As for hair loss, fapping seems to cause telogen effluvium, hair shedding is the better word as it won't make just anyone's hair permanently fall out first time. Loss of zinc, biotin and nutrients. Shocking the body to make hair enter telogen phase (small club shaped bulbs). Increased sebum and potential for dandruff. No T uptake causing an unhealthy hormonal imbalance. It's no wonder fapping makes people shed lots of hair and then it subsides, and grows thicker or healthier in time during abstinence. (Personal experience and testimonies I've seen coincide with this). Actual hair loss would be the above with the inclusion of the person's mother's father having suffered alopecia and passing on this gene in the XX chromosome.
Overall I hope anyone reading this will, if not already, be even more determined to never fap again, for it literally destroys the human body. (If anyone has information they'd like to add, please feel free, it's possible I've missed or aren't aware of something).
I'm starting my change today with this knowledge in tow.
