Why do I feel so terrible after just one fap now?

    Obviously fapping frequently to porn is bad for you, but it's not as if any man who's ever fapped once would feel really bad about it.

    However, I notice that if I even fap once, even without porn, I feel like I don't quite feel 100% again for sometimes up to 10-14 days!

    Is it something to do with dopamine levels?

    It doesn't feel like guilt or shame, because I'm not really ashamed of it, but I just notice that the little things in life don't feel as good until at least a week after I fap.

    True. It's like a feeling of emptiness, for me.

    It's because you are becoming more sensitive to what you are doing to your body and mind.

    Think about this:

    one single ejaculation, which represents a spoon-full of semen, contains as many proteins, vitamins, minerals and amino acids as four entire meals.
    FOUR ENTIRE MEALS.

    Or a gigantic stake, ten eggs, six oranges and two lemons.
    A man needs 1 to 3weeks to recover the necessary nutrients for another healthy ejaculation which would contain 500 million sperm.

    Furthermore, the more you come, the less sufficient nutrients your other vital organs receive.
    That's why, after a wank you feel devoid of energy, lethargic and even depressed.
    They don't call orgasm The Little Death for nothing.

    I relapse about 2 months ago. It made feel tried and empty for a few days. I was on my second month when I relapse. I hope I don't relapse again. I have started my 8th week.

    What I'm experiencing is not really a physical thing, though. I'm able to get fitter and healthier while feeling like this. One of the things I use to get through depression is exercise and working on health. It's not really a physical issue, it's an emotional or mental one.

    After fapping, I don't feel completely empty, but I feel as if a walk in the park, or a good movie, isn't as stimulating or fulfilling.

    After about 3-4 weeks of not fapping, I could literally go into the middle of no where, into a field, and just feel at awe at everything around me.

    I can feel euphoria while listening to trance music.....

    After one fap now, I feel like everything is dull!

    WTF?!?!!?

    I understand that bro, but I always believed that it wasn't simple masturbation that would ever make someone feel terrible, but overuse of porn and frequent masturbation.

    I didn't think that if I ever fapped again ever that I'd feel terrible.

    Congrats on 90 days man!
     
  10. Do you think this is plausible? How could any man survive who has one ejaculation per day or more for years?
    I don't believe this at all. Causes for not feeling good after am orgasm, I think, are rather psychological issues.
