I had very, very similar/identical symptoms!!! Lots of masturbation/kneading and cialis have improved the symptoms a lot over 6 months. I’m still quite numb, but I can feel clothes against my genitals again.
No more wrinkly glans, wrinkly foreskin, or darker color, which I think was due to shrinkage.
If I go awhile without masturbating then my penis starts acting funny (hourglassy, also longer and narrower). I’m afraid to try anything resembling nofap right now.
There have been a couple times where I felt nearly normal and I would beat my meat several times a day like I was training to fight Apollo Creed. Unfortunately, I returned to my post-fin baseline. Part of me wonders if things would be better for me if I hadn’t jerked off so much.
why is everyone in the usa obsessed with nofap?
So masturbation is the key. I have also experience it, regular masturbation increases morning wood and little sensitivity boost.
But It makes me very tired now.
It’s not just the US but the reason being is porn ‘addiction’ and reliance is an increasingly large problem that men and young boys face but do want to talk about. Extremely frequent masturbation hinders motivation, energy, focus as well as a less than ideal hormonal state which hurts their social and personal life.
I was fine before pfs. why none of my friends have problems with it ? who says that this is an increasing problem? @CursedLemon
we should spread more awareness on our condition. this condition really harms young boys life
Says who? Where do these strange
ideas about masturbation come from?
The cure for that is pretty simple… one should quit playing with one’s self if they believe it may hypothetically causing ill effects.
We’re talking about apples and oranges here.
@Milando97 asked him why people practice NoFap, no one was comparing it to PFS. And I agree, pornography and excessive masturbation are problematic.
its a bit insensitive to talk about how pornography can be potentially harmful when we have people here including me that have their whole life destroyed because of pfs. im 22 and i know i can never ever read a book without problems, studying without problems. i cant even cry since pfs (emotional bluntness). and i havent even talked about sexual problems… Discuss this porn is evil pseudo science somewhere else please.
Ok just keep in mind that you’re the one who asked about it.
This thread is literally about mastrubation. And you are complaining about people discussing nofap here, and telling how bad your situation is, so we should not discuss it here. What do these things have to do with each other. No one was comparing it to your situation except yourself. You btw do realize that overmastrubation/ejaculation in rats has shown to downregulate AR expression. It has also been shown that if you abstain for 7 days, your testosterone levels peak. There is some actual science behind this, not just pseudoscience.
stupid thread but okay. you can discuss here
I noticed PFS sides when I started NoFap. I had a wet dream after a week of NoFap but after a few weeks my morning wood and libido were nuked. NoFap upregulates androgen receptors (I believe this put my receptors over the edge) and the NoFap “flatline” period has very similar symptoms to PFS.
Definitely worth discussing IMO.
but how can be nofap beneficial when we already have pfs (which is the case) ?
many people here say (including me) that masturbation helps them with their symptoms. some others say the opposite. and now ? what are the findings?
Because sometimes the additional overexpress might provide temporary relief or maybe the increased testosterone helps some. For me, it either does nothing or makes me worse. NoFap is synonymous with the acronym no “PMO” (Porn, Masturbation, Orgasm). While I think the M and occasional O part are probably ok, but there is no benefit of P, which creates a host of problems on its own.
but the increase in testosterone shouldnt do anything because our AR’s are silenced
Also avoiding porn is good for your dopamine levels.
