Is this legit? I've heard from countless sources (videos, articles, anecdotes, etc) that the semen retention element of nofap draws women to you via pheromones. Basically the theory is that, when your body has gone a long time without ejaculating, it begins doing everything it can to attract a mate. One of these things is the release of pheromones that women subconsciously pick up on and are subsequently drawn to you. I don't go out much (will change soon) but I only noticed once, on about day 3 or 4, that a woman was being very friendly and smiling an unusual (for me) amount. She also held my gaze with predator-like ambition, as if to say "I want you to fck me right now" (I could be imagining this and probably am). Apart from that I haven't noticed anything, and I'm currently on day 14.
Ive personally never heard about that. I don’t think we are capable of releasing something like that. Semen prevention does, however, improve looks, attention, and confidence (along with countless more) so that could be what you’re experiencing.
I did some research when I started, because I was curcious about this aswell. But it has never been proven scientificly that we are capable of attracting a person by this. (or i can't find articles that prove this) What has been proven is that you can get better attention and start to notice other things around you as you become more horny. This might result in that you notice a girl that you wouldn't notice before.
Your may be just more aware of the behaviors of REAL women. I totally just paraphrased the last comment..... I concur.
I've dipped into the pheromone community from time to time and I've never heard this theory mentioned. On the other hand, there is a lot of speculation that a man wearing, err, intimate female pheromones is attractive to at least some women. Allegedly it's down to a kind of sexual 'proof'. In general I do think that most claims about pheromones are exaggerated. But it is an interesting topic to speculate on.
The body can not, and does not, retain semen. Once they die (~42-76 days) they are excreted from the body in the urine.
NoFap boosts your pheromones' "Fuck me" signal. Can you not feel the raw essence of man emanating from your armpits and crotch by the end of week 2? I'm not talkin' body odor, pal. I'm talkin' about that man smell that makes girls weak like when you smell their panties. Barbara Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell. Hillary Clinton.
The biggest impact that NoFap can have is on your self-esteem and the respect you have for yourself. THAT is what women pick up on. PMO destroys your self respect, it introduces an underlying stream of worry and anxiety. Once you conquer that dragon, you feel empowered. Your serotonin rises, straightening your shoulders and back (this happens literally when you pick up self-esteem). You start walking like you own things.. you own yourself, your desires don't own you. And all of that works in all your micro-movements. How your eyes droop, how your shoulders sag, how you hunch over, after a long binge of PMO. Women pick up on that. In fact, women have evolved for thousands and thousands of years to pick up on micro-communication, much more so than men. Do you know why there is white in your eyes, around your lenses? It's so other human beings can look at where YOU are looking. And it is scientific FACT that people look only at things that will lead them to their goal. From this they can gather your intentions. Many predators and non-social animals do not have eye white. For the reason that they need to hide their intentions. This is biology 1-0-1. Women can see the micro-movement of your eyes. The way you wonder down their body. That immediately turns them off (they categorize you as 'beta'). It's micro-movements like that, which people notice. The goal is NOT: NoFap > Because you want to become attractive to girls. The goal is: NoFap > Because you want to be a better person that is in control of his self and his urges. The reason for this, is that your goals MUST BE permanent. Being attractive to a girl is often much more important when you're not in a relationship. What happens when you get one? You will go back to PMO, because your reasons have disappeared. Examine the reasons for doing this carefully, if you do then you will find reasons to sustain you, forever; not just that one single goal.
what Reginald001 explains is 100% true. Just including few more points. When you abstain from porn or binge eating or anyother activity that causes sudden dopamine spike, then it means that your dopamine (which is the hormone responsible for Motivation) is not misused. Hence you have enough dopamine (or motivation ) to channelize and make constructive stuff. Lot of people mention the sudden increase in motivation durning abstinence. This is because of the increased dopamine reserve and increased sensitivity of the dopamine receptors. Coming to increased attraction, apart from what Reginald001 mentioned earlier, when you abstain from instant gratification, you have better awareness of the surrounding. You might notice the attention you might get from women because your awareness has increased . Fapping numbs your senses, nofap liberates it.
Very much true @TIMMY0110 . I also doubt that pheromones play much of a role these days in general, with all the bodysprays, soap and anti-deodorant parfumes we use these days.
