Why the penis shrinks and becomes lifeless

The reason why when you go on NoFap and your penis become lifeless is NOT because of porn, but 100% masturbation. Porn has nothing to do with it.

What's the scientific explanation? It has nothing to do with your brain, as the penis is physical and only requires the brain for erections, but on NoFap, the penis even when flaccid, becomes smaller and lifeless. This is a physiological reaction.

This happens because the penis, just like any other part of the body, needs rest, when you're overusing it, is able to maintain its physical power, because is being used, but as soon as you stop, it goes into recovery mode, physical recovery, just like a muscle.

But the penis is not a muscle, is a sponge.

Porn or your brain has nothing to do with it. Porn may desensitize your to an extent to make it harder for you get aroused and as such achieve a strong erection, etc.

but it has nothing to do with your penis shrinking and becoming lifeless which is what happens when you stop masturbating too much

This is why nofap is bullshit, the penis was never meant to not be used. It has to be used. It's an organ. Technically, all men who have girlfriend or wives are NOT on nofap.

Having sex is the same as masturbating, the penis is being used and erected.

I believe it has also to do with ejaculation. When you stop, the penis after a few days goes into recovery mode, but the penis was never meant to not be used like this stupid 10 year NoFap crusades and shit.

Porn may affect your brain and arousal, dopamine, etc, but men have masturbated since we have been on this planet.

Of course, if you stop masturbating and all stimulation altogether, your penis will go dead, cause it has no reason to live and be active.

Just like if you stop using your legs, they will lose muscle and go dead

This is why when you fap every day, you have no issue with erections, it just so happens that you have conditioned your brain get more aroused to porn, but physiologically, your penis still works

when you stop masturbation, your penis shrink and lifeless cause it has never had a rest period in so many years

then you "relapse" and force the penis again back into action, out of its resting period, that's why your penis comes back to life when you return to masturbation and porn
