Relevant information: Masturbating decreases your levels of testosterone.

Too much information: You haven't gone 7 days without jerking off ever since you were twelve.

Personally I like my personal downtime and I find that I can still breath, walk, work out and hang out with my girlfriend just fine all the same. Thanks anyway.

Ah, well, I agree that men should cut the habit, I don't know if I find your reasons very persuading. There are many, many strong arguments for living a jerk free life, I personally found the impact that pornography has on our ability to love monogamous lives the most persuading.

Catholic church nails it.

You see, you just made the thread perverted by that reply of my"tmi" it was all in context. I'm just simply trying to help my brothers out.

What if I jerk off on my lover's face?

For science...

You're seriously misinformed man. What you're feeling is a placebo effect.

Lol a placebo effect? It's a scientifically proven fact. Seriously misinformed? Wow...

No. In fact I'm going to do it again just to spite you.

I think the only dangers you really have for doing this is if you keep your eyes open, look down while you're doing it, and it just smacks you straight in the eye.

I mean what, it goes like 28 m.p.h.? That shit is deadly.

But then again, wouldn't it feel weird to do that with the eyes open?

Silly Icebaby. It's impossible to look at pornography with you're eyes closed.

Also, what is this sorcery. You've broken the internet!

Yes, I guess it is impossible to do that.

And with the sorcery I possess... I don't know what happened there, it looks fine on my screen. But I'll change my signature if I have to if it's popping up on other people's screens.

This thread is too personal in my opinion. I am going to keep my personal life a secret.

On Groundhog's day, sourcersoul came out of his hole, saw his shadow, and condemned us to six more weeks of him posting bullshit.

He does actually make a point.

No it isn't. Tests show that while there is a slight boost in testosterone in the first week of abstinence, all testosterone levels return to normal after seven days. Here's a graph illustrating the research. So maybe there is a slight boost, but by the end of the week you're back to normal. You mentioned going seven days without masturbating and experiencing a boost. Well congrats because its all down hill from here. Furthermore there has never been a study that remotely hints at masturbating decreasing testosterone. Sex drive is the result of testosterone levels, not the other way around. If you want to squeeze out a few sea people its because of your high level of testosterone. By not masturbating when you have a very, very strong urge to, you're harming yourself.

Where even is the line of reasoning that masturbating somehow decreases testosterone level? It makes no fucking sense that semen magically increases testosterone levels if it remains in the body. I'm interested in learning where you got your 'scientific research' from by the wya.

In the meantime by not masturbating you're missing out on several health benefits. It lessens stress, decreases the likelihood of prostate cancer, increases performance in the bedroom and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Masturbating is gross but every guy does it. As long as you're not spending thirty minutes a day pounding it to Russian midgets gangbanging transvestite donkeys you'll be fine. A couple times a week is fucking normal.

Not true. Not all men masturbate.
What are your thoughts on the mental well being of those who watch pornography and masturbate? More specifically, do you think that our general well being is improved or damaged by masturbation?

Well look, I don't know if I'm the guy you should be asking questions like that. Fitness is a huge part of my life and knowing the health impacts of masturbation goes along with that, but the mental impact of porn and masturbation? Ehh...

Guys have been choking their chickens for thousands of years. If it has any mental/health impacts then surely it would have shown by now. Going by that I don't think there are really any repercussions other than having a mess to clean up.

I think the extremes of both sides are bad though. The nofap, "not masturbating gives people superpowers" approach is fucking bonkers and appears cult-like to me considering there is no data backing it up. However, porn-addicts who watch a boatload of hardcore porn everyday instead of going out and getting laid might have issues mentally and also physically as ED might come up in bed. Also God kills a kitten every time you discharge your nutsack

At the end of the day, its jacking off. Who gives a fuck. Do it or don't. This is fucking weird.

I jerk off all the time. I dont give a fuck.

Jesus you guys are pricks here. Fucking Assholes. I'm done here. I was just trying to help you guys out by some scientifically proven facts about wasting your life source. I'm gonna go make love to my wife now. Fuckers.

I'll masturbate to this.

I am not wasting my life source. I am investing plenty of it into a wool sock, until it revives into an actual sheep.

Film it and post that shit so we all have something to jerk it to please!! thaaaaanxxxx

I second this.

Even if TC facts are true, the stress relief from rubbing one out, far out weighs any loss of testosterone IMO.

I think Mathew Mcconahay and Leonardo DiCaprio where on to something in Wolf of Wallstreet.

1. do you accept anything that says it is proven without actually consulting MORE THAN ONE SOURCE?


2. I think you need to seriously man up if THIS is going to break your widdle heart. I think you should man up by manhandling your manhood immediately.

No, what you were trying to do was stick your nose where it didn't belong by dictating what people should or should not do with their bodies. That's none of your business and no one asked for your help in the first place.
