Anyone tried this? I have gone a week but it makes it harder to masterbate the longer I go and ejac volume goes down. thinking of trying a month and just carrying on working out and taking supplements. Any opinions on this?
Some people report gains from total abstinence. It seems like if you do a search for abstinence, however, you will find that some people report stopping for five weeks with no gains. I personally don’t believe it will benefit, but I know some will disagree.
I jerk it once a week or so, mostly just to check how everything is progressing. I’ve stopped for longer, didn’t notice any benefit or setback.
I could easily not jerk it at all. Half the reason I do it as well is to check how things are. But then sometimes I think I may be lying to myself. Perhaps I just need a break. Like a couple of months to let the sexual energy build again. To be fair this hasn’t happened since my teens so maybe it’s time!
I just know that I will still not feel any more electricity down there!
When I was close to the time of my crash, ejaculation of any kind usually resulted in a big increase in sides so I started taking breaks. There was one particular day I remember when I did it around noon, and by 3pm a huge wave of anxiety and brain fog hit me. I also used to get a blue balls feeling sometimes during fapping. I think the longest I stopped for was a month. I think the breaks did help in that I didn’t backslide as much into anxiety or brain fog while abstaining.
I really feel for you guys that get persistent anxiety. I know how you feel because I experienced it incredibly towards the end of my dutasteride career. My god I have never felt anything like it. For me it has dwindled away since cessation of the drug. However it does come back now and then.
I’ll tell you what helps with anxiety. Magnesium. Shit loads of it. I take ZMA and 3 capsules daily packs a whopping 1350mgs of magnesium and 90mg of zinc. It, along with weight lifting and HIIT cardio is definitely helping.
Do you guys think not having a negative effect from masturbation is a good sign toward recovery? I’ve masturbated about once a week since I crashed and it never has a negative effect, other than the sadness of the orgasm/ejaculate/etc not being normal. I even did it two days in a row the past couple days.
Sorry to say but no! I don’t get any negative reaction to masturbating but I’ve shown no signs of unassisted improvement in the last 2 years either!
I was addicted to masturbation and it caused me serious damage to my body I recommend you to stop it NOW, I think that masturbation destroyed me more than the use of Fin
I notice that all of my symptoms clear up as I refrain from masturbation. If I ejaculate, all of my symptoms come back and often they are just as terrible as when I first crashed.
When I masturbate to much in one day I completely mess myself up. Get tingly skin, numb left side of my face, pain near my prostate, numbness in my penis increases…
I only wish it was possible for me to masterbate “too much” in one day. I’m lucky to be able to masterbate 3 x in a week. I only do that to see if I can and it’s more of a chore than a pleasure!
Been 5 days now due to heavy work load and not having time and no more libido or sexual desire at all!
There have been quit a few thread like this. One guy said he went 8 months and felt zero difference in how he felt. I personally have made it to about the 40 day mark and did not notice anything different.
My blood test two months after abstinence from masturbation
To mirai_trunks , these are results but how do you feel , after two months of abstinence ? any benefits ?
So 300ng/dl increase after 2 months off! That’s unusual as in the literature it shows testosterone increasing up until week 1 then dropping back below baseline after!
As someone else said, how did you feel?
In people with symptoms of sexual exhaustion I believe it takes longer to increase the Test. levels, I recommend reading actionlove.com/
These blood test were last year before I use Sustanon, Cyp Test or other drug, My brain fog is gone, more muscles and energy, no oil skin or acne, I believe that masturbation hurt me more than the use of Propecia
I find that hard to believe. At your age I was screwing my girlfriend or my hand up to 5 times a day. It never did me any harm at all.
Actionlove is a spam website selling supplements, it is not a scientific or credible source of info.
ALso, you did not indicate what time you took those blood tests. If you took the first one at 4pm in the afternoon, and the 2nd at 8am, that could also explain the Testosterone level differences.

All blood test were done in the morning
