if you think porn is okay, its likeyh because you grew up watching too much of it thinking it's okay, and a lack of sex

The general treatment for sexual anhedonia is a slow acclimation toward less sensation while still achieving orgasm.

Some nofaps maybe are onto something when they talk about all that shit of "redirecting energy into something productive"

Ideally, to be able to achieve low stimulation orgasm without porn.

@Darkness Didn't even realize porn was a thing until I was 20.

That usually helps sexual functioning for people with sexual anhedonia or delayed orgasm.

@Cato_Malgus I tried the NoFap and was productive for like 2 months but my sex drive became insatiable. It started interfering with classes.

Delayed orgasm is a considerable problem for some - far moreso than "premature" ejaculation in many cases.

Both of you are right. @Cato_Malgus @secrite

The key is moderation. Just like everything in life.

"nofap" is not healthy. Ask any doctor, a lack of ejaculation considerably increases risk of prostate problems. Not just cancer.

@hel Yeah I think so too

Or, rather, I'd say _not ejaculating_ isn't healthy.

@Wojak Well, you get nocturnal emissions.

Those are not sufficiently frequent.

lol Porn means you're "failing yourself"?

However people can ejac too much

@Wojak I look at it like this, my buddies used to all tell me how great golf was. They all went out on the weekends and played it a bunch. They spent insane amounts of cash on clubs and fees etc... I tried it with them and it was kind of fun. However nowhere near worth what they were spending on it. So I stopped doing it. Sex is much the same to me. I tried it bunch and found it not worth the effort. Why invest a bunch more time and effort into enjoying something that can only cause problems for me. Much easier to just stop chasing pussy.

There are also studies stating that not fapping doesnt cause prostrate cancer though

If you're in a relationship with access to regular sex, not masturbating can help if you experience delayed ejaculation.

@MufflePuff Darkness doesn't like titties on camera.

You think it's easy for the body to create life

@Darkness What is the optimal amount of ejaculating per day/week?

Depends on age

But peeps, they said you can become like Gandalf and shit if you don't fap for full year

"optimal" depends on the person.

Read Tao

@secrite Dave Asprey covers there.

It's like, 1 a week or something.

@Darkness 21-28

But you should have sex all the time.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/4ymcts/evidence_that_nofap_has_zero_impact_on_prostate/

"Evidence that NoFap has ZERO impact on prostate cancer.
--just some stats I googled, feel free to check my numbers, don't take them too seriously though, just trying to get my point across--

Think about it statistically, NoFap has zero affect on prostate cancer.

14% of men will get prostate cancer sometime in their lifetime. Ejaculation reduces the chances of prostate cancer by 36%.

(.14)(.36) = 5%

Meaning the chances you will develop prostate cancer is increased by 5%

But consider 60% of prostate cancer cases are in men aged 65 or older.

And also, out of all cancers prostate cancer has an extremely low mortality rate of 0.8%. Compare with lung cancer at 83.4% and pancreatic cancer at 93%. Even breast cancer has a higher mortality rate (10.8%).

(.05)(.008) = .0004 [risk of dying to prostate cancer because of NoFap increased by 0.04%]

With all this in mind, the chances of you dying because you are not fapping is fapstronomically low so don't worry."

In terms of maximally reducing prostate, urethral infection, etc, a few times a week or so.

Dex is okay is the expulsion of fluids Too frequently that's a problem

Sex**

I'm on nofap now. Feels great

It's a flawed study

Note I did not mention only prostate cancer, but prostatitis, urethral infections, etc.

Also his concept there is hilariously misleading.
