So a long story short, I am getting a divorce and moved out on my own and thought I would change a few things in my life this being one of them. I have ALWAYS fapped normally around 3 times a week on top of the twice a week sex with the wife. Even before I was married I still fapped anywhere from 3-5 times a week was normal. I have a very high sex drive and energy and have done this since my late teens and now I just turned 40!

I have been 20 days now without fapping(or sex for that matter) and it is becoming overwhelming to be honest especially with women! I can`t explain it well, but even without pheromones I could normally get about 4 out of 10 women`s interested, but now it is 7 or 8 out of 10 and women that are much hooter to, but don`t know if the hotter women are just my perception or they are much hotter?

I feel amazing, the urge is still there, but I keep myself active enough to where I don`t think of it.

With men I am getting more respect and I myself am making much more eye contact with men and women to. I feel much stronger and more masculine. I notice my thought are much more organized and have an inner peace about everything, I am able to communicate more effectively to. Anxiety is nearly gone along with negative stress to.

Now I did not know a dam thing about this whole fapping thing, and actually feel a little weird talking about it. I started researching it the last few days and there is something to this, I mean majorly!

This is my story for now with this and anyone looking for a transformation, I would start right here and this first. The first few days were the hardest, but after that there is not much to this, I think the key is occupying your mind with other things and taking control pof your thought life.

I haven't fapped for about 2 weeks but haven't noticed any of the benefits you're stating like suddenly getting tons of new women into me who didn't take notice before.

I agree the energy of the body may be increased and also the alertness and go getter attitude towards women (not sex) and work which may make it easier to achieve things.

We should also notice that most men reach peak business success later in life (like 40' and beyond). It is also normal to have less erections and ejaculation frequency as one gets older. So it's not just a question of no fap but reduced sexual frequency with age.

I also found out on more thing. If I watch excessive porn I'm more likely to get premature ejaculations and only get turned on by extreme porn. If I stay away from porn I can relate to women better. But that doesn't mean don't masturbate... That just means don't masturbate to extreme porn.

In my parents generation they had playboy... Nudies is all you got... and that didn't cause impotence or premature ejaculation.... I'm sure people in that generation were masturbating as well...

It's the nature of extreme porn mixed with fapping that is causing this disfunction.

What role does masturbating have on effecting Androstadienone tolerance?

People take this a bit too seriously IMHO. I've been one such person.

I do think there's something very legit and positive about abstinence from it. I like abstaining from pornography and masturbation. I think this reroutes sexual impulse into your social sphere, and will net you more sexually interactive experiences over time. This ought to be relatively obvious.

I also think porn is fine. I think the dirtiest, filthiest, yet still legal porn, is fine, with some caveats. I do not think it bears great consequence on one's psyche to consume pornography, much to the contrary I actually think its informational and even educational, but it is up to those viewing to be discerning and to take responsibility for the what's being considered. This may be what's actually challenging about porn.

The actual argument for pornography being addicting is.. not something I'm all too convinced of anymore.

Fapping once or twice in a week depending on age is not a problem as long as porn is not involved.

Any studies prove no fap better/worse for people with very high/low sperm count?

Let me guess, you think that masturbating makes you more prone to depression and therefore less able to cope with Androstadienone side effects?
