NoFap and testosterone

Yes and mine was higher after starting it and my family doctor says that stress can effect our testerone. I definitely believe all the pmo brought a lot of stress because of all the shame and guilt and confusion. So I definitely believe NoFap indirectly help me raise my test levels because I was always so lustful and at a low vibration and low energy from fapping my life force away

 

Scientifically nofap should not effect your testosterone levels besides the spike on the 7th day. If anything, the rise in testosterone can be attributed to other lifestyle changes you are doing while doing nofap. Examples would be going out more (which means more vitamin D), better diets, exercise, more interactions with women. These things can increase your testosterone levels but just abstaining from pmo will not directly affect your testosterone levels.

 

I think it means relative to initial levels in the chart you provide. Compare it to a chart from another study measuring testosterone per volume in plasma samples showing it starts restabalizing after about day 7.

From what I understand its is as @Toomuchh posted tied to other lifestyle changes. Doing a NoFap pledge can also help with these however

 

Increase in testosterone would be a tremendous motivation for me too.

 

Maybe I didnt convey what I meant properly but fairly sure what I meant to convey absolutly made sense. The shape of the data it looks like from the chart you provided is almost the same trend as the one with actual measure average values I provided.

The distribution on testosterone levels in men would not allow for 100% plus increase 3 days in a row

Going with actual numbers if one is in the lowest 5th percentile @ age 25 the would have a testosterone level of about 400 ng/dl at day 0 and increase to around 850 ng/dl by day 7 but then restabalize back down to around 500ng/dl by day 10 estimating from:

It does not mean that day 6,7, and 8 their would be a daily increase from the prior day of over 100%--> that would like like starting at day 5 with 400ng/dl to 800,2000, 4000ng/dl respectively day 6,7,8. 4000ng/dl and increasing is not a level of testosterone that would be sustained in a man.

At least from the data I am viewing it shows testosterone with respect to abstinence is predictable relative to an individuals starting value excluding other external factors. Youll get an initial bump and then stabilize.

Long story short Nofap is not a cure for low T like some people contend.

 

How did you measure your testosterone levels?

 

so i guess the 7 day peak in testosterone is maintained ( or it perhaps keeps increasing although at a very slow rate ).

 

were you having sex during that time ?
if not, then do you think that sex also decreases testosterone ?

 

Ok gotcha yep that makes sense I was originally referring to the original chart link you posted. That makes much more sense. Thanks for clarifying.

My overall point is that men should not be expecting NoFap aka no PMO streaks to help them increase their testosterone significantly. Testosterone levels can be linked to move and other health issues so if one is low they either should speak with a doctor about supplemental testosterone boosters or look to change ones lifestyle aka diet and exercise for a larger impact.

 

I did a whole post on this subject:

My Testosterone was 200 ng/dL the day I stopped.

I am now standing at about 1000 ng/dL !
