Isn't it the opposite?

 

Jerking reduces tensions, gives relief, happiness feeling and increases focus and motivation. 

 

It seems common that students in stress situations or tiredness from studying (before exams eg) masturbate to increase focus and concentration afterwards. 

 

Just let it out if there is the urge.

While it induces endorphins, the urge itself could arise from other root causes of over-indulgence.

Maybe some phases with very high level of testosterone. 

 

A certain age phase, we are all aware that there is a higher sex drive or let's say level of being able to have more sex, can be also a high sexual arousal. Just need to recall my first time watching porn (ha ha).

 

There are guys who jerk daily, others who just do few times but there are also guys who jerk 3 times within short time spans a day and guys who don't jerk at all.

 

Yes, there are people with a sex or masturbation addiction.

 

But I personally have issues when it comes to this talk about abstinence...

 

(While as usual too much is not healthy, Scientific research has shown that earlier and regular sexual activity assists in being able to maintain sexual activity into older ages and also avoid early Erectile Dysfunction. 

 

If masturbation is at an unhealthy level by excessive masturbation, surely I would recommend to assist in controlling the urge, but for other cases, I assume it is better to just let it out as the benefits are higher.

Great reply, highly understandable points and certainly value the kind attitude. Contrary to scientific research, the practice and the knowledge of non-semen leakage is hardly known to most. Its benefits provide increase of energy due to the body reabsorbing the cycle. Such practice is often paired with the well known kegel exercise and practice of breathing. These exercises cause the energy to surge upwards rather than outwards which supplies more qi to the individual.

FYI, nofap is also a kink, some guys get turned on by it.

there is a huge Reddit with info on it - https://www.reddit.com/r/EdgingTalk/

there is also a kink where guys wear chastity cage, so they can’t fap.

Ejaculations are self-limiting.  There is just so much cum the body produces.

 

There seems to be a correlation between frequent ejaculations and reduced risk of prostate cancer:

So it seems that a healthy body does not need a restriction in masturbation.  And as @singalion wrote, masturbation, like sex, brings RELIEF.  To do it once a day does not seem to be excessive.  So... ENJOY!

I only do it once every three weeks, and even then, it's done to "wake up" my prostate rather than because I feel sexually horny.  It is also possible to lower the frequency even further.  I think my desire for human sex is no longer a significant factor in my life.  Even though I'm pursuing a more devout and modest lifestyle these days, I still enjoy the visual pleasure that comes from staring at attractive males.  However,  I will not tempted to follow the attractive guy if he is trying to entice me into the bathroom cubicle. 

 

I make an effort to comprehend the motivations underlying my thoughts, which include self-protectionism, avoiding unintentional public exposure (used to be lonely & free for a long time), and spirituality (seeking the unknown devine as anti-depressants).   It  probably due to the alignement of my body, mind and soul.

 

Nevertheless, we can still discuss it, though, if the appropriate person shows up with strong chemistry and the sincere intention that give riset naturally rather than aggression pursuit for it.   

 

In the meantime, my desire for sex and other similar activities have lagged well behind my thoughts.  Thus explain my lacking in frequent organsm department.

I recognize your situation,  not due to "Alignment" but due to age.  What you describe is typical in an octogenarian or older,  and it confirms that very little is LOST in old age.  No more sex, or very little?  No problem,  since there is little or no desire, urge.  This leaves room in life for other interests.  And it removes one complicated health and emotional issue:  WITH WHOM to have sex.  It is easy to fill such void with more spirituality, with good social feelings like empathy.  Let's enjoy life!

Err, I am not that old.   Just so happened I have walked through challenging life journey way beyond my years, which somehow, shaped my perspective about sex, relationships and, in bigger picture,  the meaning of life.

Valid argument, I really respect your tone of reply. My stance on this is just developing a different understanding in what "Enjoying Life" may mean, in a contrasting effect between the short term and in the long run. While it might be factual for scientific backups, there could be other perspectives, as mentioned by myself above, that had not been brought to light for those feeling a sense of restlessness. Ultimately, it still boils down to individuals.

Already am well aware of this, I do appreciate the highlight though. However, I should make it clear and emphasize that this thread isn't geared toward that direction.

I'm glad someone could share the exact same view. The ability to distinguish between attraction, sexual desires and, self-control is commendable.

Oh is that common? Personally I feel more focus and motivation if I don't do it. Usually if I jo, will end up feeling exhausted and have no mood to do anything other than fall asleep after that haha.

I think by definition NoFap means no masturbation, or some stricter standards include no porn and no orgasm.

 

The Reddit linked is about edging which is a form of masturbation, so it is not really related to nofap.

 

But I do wonder if chastity cage would be helpful or not haha
