You mixed up no-fap and semen retention. No-fap is about not masturbating and even more so about not using porn. The goal is usually for a healthy sexual life with a partner. semen retention is about not orgasming, not even with a partner.

As long as you’re losing weight in a healthy way. If you’re 200lbs, start running 5 miles a day, and only eat raw vegetables: no. You’ll loose weight fast, but it’s not healthy for you. If you’re 200lbs, you start lifting weights, running every other day, and having a well balanced non processed diet: 25% veg 25% carb, 50% protein: yes. None of it happens over night. Takes about 5-6 weeks of solid dedication to not only see results, but also feel them.

A single training Day with Cavalier, and Patrick may be awakened to what he's missing out on. Cavalier should also train Patrick's trainer.. Even if it's tweaking the routine, I think it would be worth it. Peace

@tobir693 Ай бұрын

Dang, you really botched the quick explanation of no-fap. Here is a unbiased quick and short: Part of it has to do with the normal dopamine detox culture, which is self explanatory. Another part is based on scant evidence that abstaining from orgasm can temporarily elevate t-levels for men. This along with quite a lot of positive personal testimony online, have played heavily into the general mens' anti-modernist online movement online that basically considers it a right of passage.

@mirr1984 Ай бұрын

OK, let me clear something up about this no-fap nonsense. Abstaining from cracking-off gives the impression of a energy and focus burst because your body is creating a craving to breed. It's essentially an increase in dopamine creating a sense of motivation, i.e. energy. Beating off should be done in moderation, but ultimately you don't have to abstain very long to attain that feeling of motivation. So basically, no-fap is a deceptive load of nonsense. It also doesn't lower your testosterone. After ejaculation your testosterone slightly lowers for a couple of hours then returns to baseline (this has been proven several times in research).

@moosechuckle Ай бұрын

@@Ificationer I’ve read that too, but it’s always under the guise of soy increase estrogen in large doses. Most people will argue, since it’s only in large doses, you don’t need to worry about it; however, my wife has a soy allergy which forces us to eat primarily from scratch. I’m the cook, so I’m reading food labels constantly, and soy is in everything processed, and sometimes in meat. Even when it’s not labeled “soy,” it’s in there. Natural flavors, gums, stabilizers, vegetable oil (which is just soy oil), and even the wax that they put on fruit can and usually is derived form soy. That’s at least true in America. So, while men aren’t sitting down and eating a bowl of edamame, they are being exposed to it any time they eat fast food or processed. Soy is a huge resource grown in America and there are farming lobbyists in Washington, who pay for the studies that claim estrogen isn’t caused by soy. So, we’ll probably never know for sure, but I’d stay the F away from it.

Ok... So I'm raising this as a discussion point rather than a troll or an alternative answer. More sleep and less stress is a bullshit answer. Our ancestors have always been prey as much as they are predators. It might be that they were hunted by animals like bears, wolves or cougars, or we might be hunted by neighbouring tribes. We have never had a time in history where there was less reason to be stressed or more reasons to lie in and sleep... and yet T levels are still low. In my opinion: at best, more sleep and less stress may be a coincidental factor in the real reason some people have higher T. Is it more likely that the people with more T are actually abnormalities?

The paradox is if you're in a place where you even can 'reduce stress/cortisol' then you've already accomplished the goal of reducing cortisol. Doctors like this think those of us with intractable, chronically high cortisol levels are just sitting around mindlessly fretting, and if we just went to the doc and heard the golden words 'meditate five times a day' or whatever then we'd be fixed. It's not 1994 anymore, it's the information age and everybody 'knows' what they need to do. If we could have fixed it naturally we would have done it already.
