Testosterone, the essence of nofap.

From what I've read, Testosterone increases slightly, the average is 14% I believe but the difference that we feel is because our androgen receptor density and sensitivity increases in the muscles and the brain drastically. Here's the reddit thread that introduced me to the concept.

It's kind of why some guys use Testosterone in the steroid form and hardly grow, while other use much lower doses and blow up. Those who have higher receptor density and sensitivity actually utilize the hormone.

 

I couldn't agree more Mr. Sir. I would edge for weeks if not months, I am sure I would have T surges, but never the gains I get now in the gym, I mean, within two week of hard mode, my arms doubled in size, I did not increase weights or reps, the absolute same work out I had used for six months. I think it changes all kinds of hormones, pheromones, and endorphins -- and they all work together.

Placebo or not, I am benefiting and I am not stopping!

 

I heard a rumor that sex produces more testosterone than sneezing in a tissue, A fact I've also read was that when a man does workouts with a woman on his lap he will gain muscle faster (probably something with hormones)

Hold on my brain just came up with this crazy tedtalk, This is what you are looking for fjerid!
