I've done lots of research, and realized fapping literally destroys the human body

    Libido is normal controlled by testosterone levels, if there is lower testosterone uptake and higher estrogen uptake (age, T blockers, masturbation) these would lower sexual drive. Low glutamine from high cortisol (too much exercise volume) can have a similar effect.

    If you abstained from PMO and sexual encounters for at least a week, these would increase androgen receptors. For increased T though that would depend on your age, and can be boosted regardless of age with a supplement like Ashwagandha.

    Yeah I know PMO doesn't make Testosterone vanish (I never said otherwise). It's well documented by now, it's a favorite talking point of textbook 'medical' or 'scientific' websites, paid off by parent company's of porn producers to produce an article in favour or porn/masturbation.

    What PMO does other than release oxytocin/prolactin to fatigue (easy times) people, is it makes the AR's in the brain unable to transcribe their masculine traits to DNA, it greatly reduces their availability.

    Androgen receptors uptake testosterone - they cannot do so if nullified. 60%+ of them become available again after 7 days.

    you implied it had a detrimental effect. which is not correct as just said it actually increases testosterone

    I want to add something. Masturbating can damage eyesight. I got myopia due to masturbating. I have talked to many myopic people, they said they had bad masturbation habits before myopia.

    a myth as old as time .

    if you dont stop youl go blind

    nonsenses

    you have issues with vision because of genetics .i have an eye condition called kerataconus it has nothing to do with pmo

    pmo could effect vision if you are dehydrated

    everything effects vision including blood pressure sleep .

    I agree, one shouldn't attribute EVERYTHING horrible in the domain of human health to PMO, though it is to blame for a whole lot of health issues!!

    This makes sense, other than genetics, a common cause of myopia is too much near sighted engagement (reading, PC screen, close to TV, and the thing most PMOers and young adults spend a lot of time holding close to their faces (smartphones).

    Whether masturbating can directly cause myopia I'd have to look into this. Some have said it's a myth, but don't understand how complex the human body is.

    Myopia is caused partly by having objects close to the face. So, yes PMO will cause myopia.

    Will it cause it directly? I'm not sure, it'd need to actually be researched. But calling it a myth is quite ignorant, the human body is very complex and even the smallest of changes can have a butterfly effect.

    This is my problem with nofap. While there is enough research and studies proving that porn can have a negative influence on your brain, I havent heard one doctor yet saying that mastubation without porn is bad for your body. This is simply not true.

    People already beginning to say that sex is bad.
