I find your videos very informative. I have a question, I'm a healthy guy, but six years ago i stopped feeling the intense pleasure associated with orgasms. I do ejaculate without trouble but their is no pleasure with it. I have never had sex with anyone so Im positive I dont have any stds. I talked to my doctor about it and he didnt care and had no interest in figuring out why this happened. Ive been reaching out to doctors on youtube trying to find an answer, If you have any ideas whats wrong with me I would love to know, Thank you.
I am practicing semen retention. For 3 months now. Please conduct a research on Indian Brahamachary method of living. Indian semen retention means no ejaculation which is no edging no self stimulation what so ever. I have felt the difference. It helps in dopamine detox. 7 days might be torturous but post that, it also has material difference: confidence, lift heavier weights at the gym, focused, and lot more. When you say these findings are not yet backed by modern science, I feel awkward why there is little to no study done on the same. Try it on for 14, 21, 28 56 and 84 days on different ethnicity (not race). Read some Indian literature. Who am I to say so? One who is experiencing the benefits manifest.
post nut clarity needs to happen right before walking down the aisle to the altar.....notice how sex is always AFTER the wedding that night???? to late then.
@@workingshlub8861 It sounds like every man should release sometime soon before the wedding, not only to relieve stress, but to also have that clarity, like imagine, is she going to become a nag after marriage? How much less is she going to dress up and try? How bad are her habits, like is she in good shape from being young alone or does she have good habits? Does she give little to no affection ATM? Any red flags in the family? Might want to ask more questions...
@@Goblin_Hands best part of all.....after she goes thru" the change" later in life...you probably will never have sex again...how many men consider that when proposing??? they say if you wanna stop having sex get married for a reason..
@masteroogwgay When your students needed you the most, that’s when you showed us your graceful wisdom. Remember guys, as Master Oogway would say, if all your gfs are 17, than maybe you should play for the other team.
I did no fap/ semen retention for 90 days as a teenager and I didn’t see any benefits nor drawbacks from it. However , I can definitely see how avoiding porn helps relationships
me and my wife share our porn watching sometimes. it can really intensify a sexual experience. we understand each other better, and don't judge each other's tastes. we have respectful boundaries, and no urge to fulfill fantasies by cheating.
If you’re cracking one off to porn by yourself when you are in a relationship, then yeah. No surprise that can be a problem. But if you’re single? Fill your boots. Metaphorically, of course. Otherwise, urrrgh, gross.
@@sebcw1204So you two are essentially watching other people have sex to get your rocks off? Weird tbh. If you need other people f*cking to have a good sexual experience with YOUR WIFE. there is SOMETHING wrong
To people, who say this is a placebo after they tried it: Congratulations, you probably weren't really addicted to begin with. Stopping alcohol consumption is no big deal for the average Joe but it will change the life of any alcoholic. My personal experience has been too overwhelming for it to be a placebo. Matter of fact, I have been trying to combat this addiction for a long time and the fact that I have failed numerous times is reason enough to continue trying.
I get where you’re coming from. I have a debilitating addiction to taking fat steamy shits. I eat Taco Bell deliberately so I can take hours on the toilet. Shitting is such a euphoric feeling to me but it’s ruined my relationships and nobody likes me. It’s hard to stop shitting bro 😔
@@jonathankabasele985 I have. Thanks to the nopoop subreddit, I’ve been able to mend my broken relationships, live a normal life, and I’ve gained latent psychic abilities. Poop retention is king, but I do feel my organs slowly shutting down. Eh probably nothing much to worry about.
@@derpherp1810 Comparing literal cleaning process of an organic matter to fluid that creates life means you don't understand anything. Why don't you say to also stop breathing, oxygen is the reason our bodies slowly age and decay after we die, stop breathing accept immortality.
@Lucas McGuire who cares even if it is a placebo? thats the amazing thing about the human mind. there are still benefits regardless. dont get too caught up on that word brother
I think the biggest issue with nofap and NNN is that there is not nearly enough data on the subject either way. Personally I've had very interesting experiences with nofap and based on those experiences would recommend it to anyone. Obviously this is anecdotal evidence and may not be the same for everyone but I've tried and for me it works. The first week is always the toughest but once you get past that the mental clarity starts to set in. To be clear, nofap doesn't mean no ejaculating, it just means no masturbating to porn. The whole purpose of nofap is to redirect our sexual efforts towards engaging with another human being instead of an image on the screen.
I feel like NNN is not for any health benefits or mental clarity, I know my mental clarity has suffered, but rather as a challenge to see if you're strong enough to ignore a primal urge with the solution strapped on to yourself. It was surprisingly difficult.
Its not about the literal scientific effects from NNN. Its about proving to yourself you have the self control to abstain from your own instincts, proving your free will, and trying to focus on something other than your biological instincts.
Exactly. It's also about avoiding an over-sexualized lifestyle, certain online addictions and ultimately self-control and morality. It's a kind of philosophical act of discipline against modern bodily hedonism. But strawman video would never adress any of that.
It's about not being able to get laid. If all you have in your life is masturbation, go for it. I refuse to believe any man with access to regulat pussy is telling their women "no"
It’s November 28 and I’m still going strong. I failed on the 20th last year and I promised myself to get through the whole month this year. 2 days left to go!
I passed NNN and I saw fairly large differences in my daily life. Confidence feels higher, I'm mentally more engaged in whatever I'm doing. Some say it's placebo but every-time I abstain I feel these benefits. Even if you don't get the benefits I would recommend doing it anyways! Self discipline is definitely something gained out of abstaining.
That’s totally placebo. You believe that’s helping so you truly feel like it’s helping you. You do what you want, there’s no cops to fine you if you do or if you dont. There’s no point to stop because masturbation doesnt harm you. I would recommend people to simply do what they want.
But if you want to do nofap it will be better with exercising, controlling your lust were actually powerful,tho you will have sexual frustration and angry man without exercising
I think NNN is more on the art and reassurance knowing that as animalistic of an urge as it is we are able to control it… therefore we can appreciate ourselves more.
@@ink8742 I don’t really decorate myself with NNN but I do appreciate the principles behind it, you could say I only focus on the lord rather than the gameplay.
The issue is not masturbation it’s porn. The surge in dopamine from porn is similar to hard drugs. After daily porn masturbation for decades our baseline level of dopamine drops significantly. Because of this, we begin to loose motivation and drive. After giving up porn, we will notice that we won’t want to masturbate everyday and our baseline levels of dopamine will return to normal. Giving us our much needed drive and motivation to live a healthy life.
I tried NNN but after seven days it began to feel uncomfortable in my pelvic floor so I intentionally failed. I did, however, quit porn for the entire month. It was not actually that hard to quit porn so I guess I didn't have a major addiction to it, but it's probably still a good thing to abstain from porn anyway.
@@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it its hard af, its not for you because you're not addicted. I think about opening up a porn site and wanking off to it almost every time I'm back home and feeling a bit off/sad/mad/angry. I sometimes have even watched porn on a night out in a smoking area while alone because I was so sexually frustrated. It's a nightmare, have had this addiction from 12 years, I've done 2-3 months off of it max, but I keep coming back. I'm 1 week in now trying to achieve forever away from it.
You can quit it forever and be better. Don't listen to any coomer bullshit. You need the love of a girl, not some plastic porn poison. You'll be better for it, brother
Exactly. All they need to do is edge for a couple hours, and just observe how SHIT they feel afterwards. That should be enough proof for them to at least try...
I can honestly say...The thought of doing this (NNN) has NEVER SERIOUSLY crossed my mind. I don't care what month it is. I don't care what the cause is. If I have a round in the chamber...we're going to the range!
For me personally no nut november taught me that I have a severe porn addiction. I start now without watching pornography. But I must say quitting smoking was actually easier for me than skipping porn. I struggled with quitting both at the same time and just kept not smoking and reduced (but no quit) my porn consumption. My first goal is to complete my first three smokefree Months and than go naFap. I think its more manageable. What do you guys think?
I'm not surprised to come across someone else who is in the exact situation as me. The smoking and porn are so tied together than quitting one quits the other and that is what makes it so hard. We're fighting two demons at once without any training. Seems the best course of action is to take small steps and not get discouraged when there's a relapse. Accept that it's gonna happen and actually plan and allow for it then gradually move that post further back. Set a time when you're going to indulge and cheat. A few days in the future at first and then a few weeks a few months etc. Plan those relapses so you can stay in control of them. It's gonna happen, might as well be when you decide. And stick to it. I've been doing this with my diet and I'm at the point that I feel physically ill when I overdo the carbs and sugar. Last Saturday, my scheduled porn night, I felt uncomfortably out of breath and the cigarettes tasted awful and I think it's because I've been restricting to only one during week nights. My body is naturally rejecting the toxins.
I can't say that I've ever or will ever smoke but I definitely faced a similar addiction for what seems like several years now that got so bad to the point where it felt like I was dieing inside my own mind. Now what saved me from this is going to sound dumb to some but it was an anime episode. It was just someone talking for 15 minutes that finally gave me some footing to push back against my problem. Course I did have some slips but then I realized perhaps if I want to be fair about a change in a situation then maybe instead of getting rid of it all together then to just reduce how often it happens. Currently I only indulge once every three weeks or so. But it's still nice to know about others going through a similar problem.
@Ty Bey it was in Re:zero season one where Rem basically starts giving a speech that can be summed up as " the person I feel in love with would never back down from a challenge, I want everything you want so very much but if you were to give up now if we were to run now then you wouldn't be that same person and I couldn't except that offer."
@@silvalinan4077 i deeply feel you. My anti-smoking streak reaches now the 36th day. And I‘m very committed to continue. Even got a mantra. But i like the idea of controlling the relapse. Thank you for your time and answer.
I'm just so glad that almost everybody agrees to take one month out of their life to stop an addiction so wide as porn, wish we had stuff like this for smoking or something
I think the main issue is lack of self-control. Abstinence from occasional masturbating may not have the ‘mind-blowing’ affect many people claim it does, but the truth is that the vast majority of men who struggle with masturbating struggle with the deeper issue within themselves which is addiction to the dopamine and the feeling they get once they ejaculate. Addiction is harmful regardless of what you’re addicted to, and gaining control of one’s self and one’s mind and emotions is, in my opinion, the main goal. EDIT: added ‘lack of’.
should I be concerned? I'm from the far east, Im 30 and I never masterbaited/ ejaculated at least not without a partner, the western part of the internat makes it sound like everyone does this activity, were as I never heard of anyone doing this where I'm from. Is this a real thing people do? is there risk to my health in not doing it? as if it has nothing but temporarily pleasure to offer me, I'm not interested in it. I don't want to risk an addiction as I have Adhd an addiction like this will be especially Leatheal to me
When I was 39 my ex wife decided that we should only have sex about twice a month and that’s part of the reason she’s my ex . Married my current wife and we are living Happily Ever After !
I absolutely wish ALL doctors would use common understandable language like Dr. Malik. I feel many patients are uncomfortable discussing issues because they feel intimidated if they don't understand the technical medical jargon or terminology used by doctors so they don't ask the right questions or give the right answers when having a conversation with their doctors. Here I am 61 years old and only recently learned that a fractured bone was a broken bone, because I always thought fractured meant it was a small crack and not broken completely into two pieces. Dr. Malik is one of my favorite doctor resources on the internet because she understands half the battle of being a good doctor is being able to communicate and being understood. Awesome video, I have already sent it to several of my guy friends as I am sure they too could benefit from this information. Thank you Dr. Malik.
She uses the word "nut" which seems to be a technical term for ejaculation. I started watching because I eat a lot of nuts and wanted to know if I should change my diet. Eventually I did a dictionary look up on "nut." Don't know why she didn't use the normal word.
Semen retention and especially avoiding porn (no sexual energy) improves discipline and it also introduced me to the life-changing community of self-improvement.
@@Di.Iv.555 it's my duty to reproduce and upkeep family values but no nut November isnt related to relationship, it's main cause is to contain useless relapses and quitting porn is a large part in that
@@Di.Iv.555 no after 1-2 weeks that stops. Its like with Smoking cigs after 3 days it will be much easier to stop smoke even if in day 2 your mouth was completely watering for one
I think there’s a big difference between NNN as complete abstinence (which is dumb) and using NNN to quit a porn addiction, which can be hugely beneficial in helping someone actually get into real life relationships that are far more gratifying and healthy
Man, why aren't there more experiments being made about this subject. This is quite interesting and it seems that a lot of people would like to be test subjects of a research about the benefits or risks of semen retention.
Nicely explained. Finally someone touched on epididymal hypertension being very painful. I have experienced this many times and the pain lasts as a dull ache for hours in the lower back and groin area. She is right, it's better to stop watching anything that arouses you altogether when trying to abstain.
Experienced this once on my first date with my now wife. The ride home was the longest in my life. Always thought it was a myth before that. It really can be quite painful.
@@nilnull5457 that doesnt hurt. It dies down after a while anyway. But getting stimulated continuously through something visual like porn, that really makes the arousal last longer and the resultant blue 🔵🔵
If it happened naturally then you're still a participant and you can continue your journey, but if you do it intentionally then yeah you've lost the challenge.
Oh that's normal. When you sleep your body is working to get you ready for the next day, and they are also working on semen during the night, so, thats why most of the time men wake up bricked
First off I would like to give you a sincere thank you for making these videos. I have a difficult time having these conversations with my Dr. due to childhood trauma. I just started watching your videos not to long ago and so many on my questions have been answered and I have learned so much. Please keep making videos. They truly do help.
Quite frankly... my girlfriend benefits from a regular "grease job." Sometimes she even likes to "co-pilot" and just roll the dice while I fly the plane. We crash the plane every time. What a mess. Millions dead, no survivors.
NNN started as a challenge advocating awareness for Men's Mental Health and Testicular Cancer I'm so glad it evolved and turned into a cultural tradition
As a man, I think I speak for many when I say we don't participate in No Nut November, or NNN, because we read in some men's magazine that it's good for us. I'm pretty sure a lot of us are already aware participation in NNN holds no real medical benefits. We do it because we are men. From Dark Souls speedruns to finishing a whole tray of jello shots... from eating raw habaneros on a dare to carrying $300 worth of groceries into the house on one arm. We desire, nay, *deserve*, to be challenged. Adversity is our birthright. To push the boundaries of our abilities is to test our own discipline. We may try, and we may fail, but when it comes to tenacity and resolve, we shall not be found wanting!
After 30 days of semen retention scientists have proved that the human body will begin to levitate and the mind will begin to integrate with the universe.
Why aren't there more studies conducted on this? Although it sounds silly, it's a very serious Men's health and wellbeing subject. Too much pornography and masturbation can be detrimental to a man's motivation and make them lethargic, affecting their lifestyle and relationships. Personally I can't do NNN any longer than a few days because the hormones disrupt my quality of sleep which has a negative affect. My general rule of thumb is to not fap on a workday day until post workout, or my energy levels and motivation can be slowed down during the workout.
Trust me my guy. You'll get to a point where you don't feel like jacking it. It's difficult, but worth it. The way you feel is quite great actually. It just takes a bit and shit ton of self control in the beginning
@@TheLemonKiller exactly I abstained for over two years my energy levels were insane, I was working out nearly everyday I simply had to. People around could not figure out how I had all this energy, I swear semen retention is like Natures PreWorkout
Great video. It's nice to hear an expert say everything I've learned over a 2+ year abstinence from porn. The inspiring thing about NNN is the amount of young people it gets each year to question their reliance or porn and the internet for mental comfort, relief, and stress reduction. Being porn free for more than two years now has really restored my sexual health in relationships and with myself. I did start with a long period of abstinence from masturbation (about a year), but I've reincorporated that and feeling better than I have ever felt about my relationship with my body. NNN helps people see this and realize that, as stated, masturbation can be a healthy thing, and it's the porn to which we have associated it that is the real, serious problem.
Before I met my husband he was doing that nofap for a year or so amd he was in an excellent mental state. Since he stopped that, his mentality has weakened and feels that because of excessive sex he's losing the passion for sex. Should I encourage him to.nofap again?
Happy to hear about the specifics of the group the data was collected from. It's not often that people mention those factors, and yes, that does matter. Thanks Dr. Malik!
I've discovered that it doesn't matter what you quit, you'll get a boost of motivation simply because you have to find something else to occupy your time. Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, video games, tv, eating out, work, basically anything.
Immortal temptation Takes over my mind, condemned Falling weak on my knees Summon the strength of mayhem I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate Can't run away Keep walking the line, between the light Led astray Through vacant halls I won't surrender The truth revealed in eyes of ember We fight through fire and ice forever Two souls once lost, and now they remember I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Disappear into the night Lost shadows left behind Obsession's pulling me Fading, I've come to take what's mine Lurking in the shadows under veil of night Constellations of blood pirouette Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes The puppet master congregates all the masses Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit You want this power? Then come try and take it Beyond the tree, fire burns Secret love, bloodline yearns Dark minds embrace, crimson joy Does your dim heart heal or destroy? Bury the light deep within Cast aside, there's no coming home We're burning chaos in the wind Drifting in the ocean all alone
Its not just keeping it back physically but training yourself to regulate and control yourself against your desires so they don't take the better of you away. Stay strong boys get to at least the 15th
trynna quit for whole month and have no idea of what should i do later like mastrubate normally or quit mastrubate for the whole life, no fap started one day before nov and have courage to complete all the month btw😊
I'm not addicted to pr0n or anything for that matter, and I've tried NNN successfully, it made absolutely no difference for me. I go to the gym 4x a week and cycle on the weekends regardless of nut or not. Then again, I'm a balanced individual that doesn't take things to extremes. Emphasis on balance, as it is everything. I think the issue here is addiction, not the actual nut.
The average Joe watches 70 minutes of porn weekly(based on self reports, which are obviously biased toward the lower end). Those 70 minutes are usually divided in a bunch of videos varying in content from the most "vanilla" to the most extreme. So, yeah, the average person already has and consumes Terabytes of porn. If you are a regular porn user you are already at the addiction point. There is no healthy relationship between a man and a porn site, there can't be by the nature of the business, just like there is no healthy relationship between a chronic prostitute client and the prostitute. There can be a healthy relationship between a man and his own body and his own pleasure. NNN is not about quitting masturbation, it's about quitting porn, which is something everyone should be trying.
Finishing NNN for average people isn't a great deal, but for people who has more than a terabyte of porn in their computers or can't even start a day without fapping, it's a great achievement. Keep it up, KINGS 🤴🏻
@@strav8337 If you've been jerkin it for years, you could easily have a lot of porn saved up on your PC if you're the type that downloads porn instead of going on PH or XV or wherever else instead.
Ejaculation and porn addiction are two different things. Addiction is never a good thing. Having the discipline to overcome an addiction is mentally beneficial. Physiologically though, semen retention and not ejaculating can’t be beneficial for the body. The male reproduction glands are like any other organ. If you don’t use it, it loses its strength and function. Great video Dr. Malik!
Dr Malik missed one point. If you keep yourself physically active. Intense weight training, kegels combine with stretching and yoga. You are going to be a beast on another level. Try ejaculating before any exercise and your performance will drop. The main purpose of semen retention is to use your seed either for procreation or for your purpose.

Because they have constant testosteron levels in their bloodstream, it never drops.
@@rahulrajoria7535 nope no side effects at all if you are on TRT controlled by your doctor the right dosage etc only benefits my friend. Its a different story for those juicers. I dont belong in that category.
8:13 "...If you're gonna try to participate, a much healthier option is actually to go 'No Fap', to avoid pornography..." I think this is the most important part for anyone that is looking to do the NNN challenge for self-control and such. Thank you for your insight, doctor!
I think it helps people feel powerful and in control of their mind and body. I feel there is value in that, but issues arise when people judge others for not participating
Semen Retention is like doing a dopamine cleanse. Yes an orgasm is a an amazing feeling but when we delay that reward we can achieve a lot more and still enjoy that same feeling later down the line. Yes it is all in our head, the affects of retaining this vital fluid. However the benefits are not just in our head, benefits like growth within & spiritual bliss due to discipline and will power.
You guys are dumb. Semen retention please, have you tried not shitting your pants after eating a bean burrito, laxatives, and a fuck ton of ice cream. I’ve done this ritual for three years and have become a super saiyan god. This is honestly the best way to develop discipline in my opinion.
At 31 I can honestly say there is a huge difference in the way I feel when abstaining from specifically masturbating vs doing it even every few days. When I do it, I feel less anxiety and worry less about women problems. But the the cost is I have less motivation to do things, intrusive thoughts, and my eye contact and confidence suffers. Also without fail, if I do it right before I go to bed I wake up in a bad mood with traces of negative thoughts. When I abstain I have more overall confidence and ideas, but the trade off is my emotions feel much stronger and I'm more prone to over thinking or getting in my feelings. Still haven't figured out the exact right balance but I've at least Come To know myself lol Sorry had to do it
Don't be sorry these asshats think they're qualified to tell us how we feel it's no different than when women try to take care of themselves and men behave dismissively of it. Just do you and continue to do what you think is best for yourself. I support you man.
I'm 28. Dude finding that balance. That's exactly what I'm trying to find. Once I let too much go, I definitely get a lot of anxiety, faster heart rate, and I find myself using more energy to speak (I don't think I've seen anyone with that problem btw).
It is exactly what also happens to me. I'm single since like 8-9 years and if I don't fap at least one or twice a week I become too much cranky. I have the feeling I would be more incline to make a mistake and get stuck in a relationship I don't want to just because I want sex with her. It's like I would be in a position to get manipulated.
@@chriscarlone527 you didnt need to do that. Men dont care about women to that degree. If she got boobs and cakes is most of what we care about. second is how she carries herself mentally. thats it
I feel like moderation is the key. If abstinence increases sensitivity to dopamine( which explains the test boost after abstinence), then doing it too often might cause a reduction in Dopamine receptor activity( emphasis on might.) If this is the case, this reduction in the dopamine receptor might lead to more prolactin production, thus reducing testosterone. Low dopamine can screw with alot of body functions. I don't think giving it up is good either. I just don't know of any bodily function that you can do to an infinitely high frequency without consequences. Eating is healthy, but we can take it to an unhealthy place.
Breathing. I've been breathing every second of my life and there has been no adverse consequences. Also I dont think frequency is the right word. You can eat a lot, but in reality its the caloric quantity that impacts your body. You'd be surprised how much low calorie food can exist. You could find something to fill you up for less than a thousand calories and it'll have th opposite effect. Losing too much weight. I think there are a lot of factors at play in reality. For masturbation it could be, rather than frequency, the recovery time in-between. How long the act takes.. the quality of it. There could even be genetic factors at play.
@@An.Unsought.Thought you can hyperventilate. As far as eating, either with calorie dense foods or low calorie high volume foods, if you shove enough food down, it will have adverse consequences. From stomach and digestive problems to weight gain.

for me I don't watch porn coz it's an addictive industry like smoking/vaping and I do participate in NNN mostly just to test my will power and do a challenge with my friends but I haven't ever felt any side effects (positive or negative) from doing it. Congrats to my guys who completed NNN!
Refreshing to hear a doctor talk who understand and communicates well with terminology that all of us know and talks straight to us and not at us. I'd feel very comfortable going to you as my doctor.
As a single guy, I always figured I had a porn addiction until I got a girlfriend who let me have sex. Suddenly I no longer had an interest in porn because I would much rather get my rocks off with my real life woman. When that relationship ended I went back to porn. So if you're single and watching porn, it's not the end of the world. Just make sure when you do find a sexual partner that they replace the porn watching. Oh yeah, and maybe hold on to them because going back to porn sucks!
Nah. You need time for yourself sometimes. If you SO guilts you into stopping porn that's what I call a red flag. I bet next thing will be going to the toilet together to crap.
@@charginginprogresss Why are you switching it up to guilting and red flags? If you have such a good sexual relationship with a woman that you never even think about wanting to watch others fuck, then that's very positive and you should absolutely do everything to keep it that way.
I tried nnn last year, I got about 25 days in and felt the best I ever felt... literally 0 hornyness, it felt great. Although I felt more aggressive/confrontational I only stopped because my parents caught me hitting my dab and since I was high, I had a really bad anxiety attack and needed to relieve the pressure the pelvic pain apparently happens around the 30 day mark, I haven't gotten that far yet. but we'll see this year. I'm on a 4 day streak rn and ye.. 100% agree about the risk of getting addicted to edging, I can see it happening to me rn, although I am trying to get rid of that temptation as well with exercise whenever I get temptations or catch myself slipping, it's working so far...
Stay strong my brother we’re in this together 💪. Also about you getting more aggressive, here’s a bit a bro science, that was actually your testosterone going up lmao
There's a lot of different opinion on this stuff. I personally feel that this stuff should be done in moderation at the end of the day. If you're going to masturbate just do it a few times a week, and do it without porn. I personally feel like I have more energy for my workouts, and sleep better when retaining for a little while. I think a lot of this stuff is hyped up anyways, but if you're taking steps to improve yourself via working out/diet, and putting in extra hours at work etc etc and trying to form meaningful relationships then that's the most important thing. So I feel moderation is the best route to take, that way you're not over doing it, yet you're not robbing yourself of your natural drive to ejaculate every now and then.
As some one who had abstained for over two years I do think there is a correlation with physical energy/ testosterone the longer I went the more I understand why coaches told athletes to abstain before a match
@@youngatnaruto Different strokes for different folks. I had sex before, after games, no sex, no difference. What's funny is one study is garbage. 10 people out of a whole male population, yeah that's accurate. I've gone 1 year without (deployment) all it did was make me cranky and think some women were more attractive than they actually were
After watching this video, I couldn’t help but think about the whole No Nut November phenomenon and whether it really holds any weight from a scientific standpoint. The idea of abstaining from something so natural, like masturbation, for an entire month seems a little counterintuitive, especially when you break down the facts presented here. The urologist's explanation about the effects of abstinence on semen production and testosterone levels was interesting. On one hand, it’s clear that there are some physiological responses to not releasing semen for a while, like temporary increases in testosterone or changes in seminal fluid composition. But on the other hand, the notion that abstaining for extended periods leads to any sort of major long-term health benefit seems a bit overblown. What really stood out to me is how some of these challenges, like 'No Nut November,' often get wrapped up in misconceptions and cultural stigmas around sexuality and self-control. The way some people talk about it, you’d think abstinence was the ultimate solution to achieving 'manliness' or 'discipline,' but as the urologist pointed out, there’s no real evidence to suggest that prolonged celibacy or restraint results in anything more than temporary physiological effects. For me, it’s also worth questioning the idea that there’s something inherently wrong or unhealthy about sexual release. The science shows that it’s pretty natural and healthy to engage in it regularly, so framing it as something that should be avoided or controlled for some kind of moral or physical benefit just doesn’t make sense. In the end, personal choice matters more than a collective challenge based on misconceptions about the body. It was an informative video, but I think it also raises more questions than answers. It’s all about balance, as with most things, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to these kinds of decisions. If anything, we should be more focused on being informed, questioning these cultural trends, and prioritizing our mental and physical well-being over arbitrary goals.
its been 4 months and honestly for me i been getting more attractive to women then ever before i can feel my levels of energy going up my confidence is better i feel more mature, more focused on myself
Did the whole thing this year, and I can't say I really saw any differences in my daily life, but I did it cause of self-discipline, I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't addicted and that it wasn't necessary in my life and I did just that, so I felt pretty good afterwards anyway.
Which are what? You just aren't jerking which is a completely normal thing for men of all ages to do mind you. There is no moral benefit or justification to do it. It is a internet meme and nothing else. And before I get the obvious reply yes I have don NNN once it was idiotic and pointless

I did a 12 page research essay on P and P addiction a few years back. It's pretty shocking but we really don't (or at least didn't) know what the effects of P are. Online, endless, and endless varieties of P is a very new thing. That being said, plenty of possible links to negative outcomes were being theorized, and some had corroborating evidence. There are also plenty of testimonials, the volume of which I think give it some credibility.
The average Joe watches 70 minutes of porn weekly(based on self reports, which are obviously biased toward the lower end). Those 70 minutes are usually divided in a bunch of videos varying in content from the most "vanilla" to the most extreme. So, yeah, the average person already has and consumes Terabytes of porn. If you are a regular porn user you are already at the addiction point. There is no healthy relationship between a man and a porn site, there can't be by the nature of the business, just like there is no healthy relationship between a chronic prostitute client and the prostitute. There can be a healthy relationship between a man and his own body and his own pleasure. NNN is not about quitting masturbation, it's about quitting porn, which is something everyone should be trying.
@@SandhillScapegoat I came to that same conclusion essentially. I argued that P is a major public health risk, considering how pervasive and relatively new it is, as well as how little definite research there was at the time.
@@MClapYourHands Especially for children. We have the technology to ensure that if not all at least most of the users of porn websites are not underage, yet we reuse to use it under stupid premises such as "It won't stop ALL children" and "It will hurt people in the Industry". The reality is, a higher and higher source of revenue for porn sites comes from underage children aged 9-17, and that is money that goes to the big businesses and producers and it will still not touch the pockets of your run-of-the-mill exploited actors. The second you start thinking and talking about pornography out loud, you realize that it's all cons, I can't find a single pro. Even as a sporadic consumer you should be able to see it.
For those wondering, when you orgasm im pretty sure you release some dopamine. In other words orgasms are basically a drug to some extent. Not nearly as strong, but stopping them can definitely help your day to day life. That doesnt mean to never do it because naturally your body will ejaculate during your sleep. Also NNN should be no orgasms right!?! No way its just dont do porn. Almost any person can get off with no porn (might require more effort ).
Buddhist monks have been practicing semen retention for thousands of years. They know a lot about it. All the do's and dont's. Finding documentation on it would probably be difficult though. I practiced it when I was younger and found that it definitely made my workouts easier.

For me semen retention /nofap has cleared my skin and gave me all kinds of benefits it's crazy I used to have bad acne but soon as I stopped fapping my skin cleared up I felt more energised and have more of a connection with people it's crazy.
I know right? They talk a lot about what proteins, minerals, vitamins, etc semen contains, also how good is it for the skin when applied on, but they forget to mention this sustain isn't created out of nowhere, it's all what a man loses
Yeah but that's stupid. Apply the same logic to other parts of your life. Would you stop eating for a month just to prove to yourself that "you control the food and the food doesn't control you"? No, because your body wasn't made to go a month without eating. Same happens with masturbation.
NNN is just a season where every guy just tries to prove to them selfs that they have some type of self control over their own sexual urges .....not that deep bro
I have done seamen retention for 30 days and my energy levels have trippled! I have more mental clarity and have increased my strength and stamina! The effects are astonishing.
Yeah, I dont do it because of that, just a meme, but there is a lot of people that want to believe in something and participate to feel special or unique... humans are simple sometimes
@@brightblackgrouse6236 and the reason you do nnn for is pointless since you can still masturbate and watch porn like you did before the difference is that you won't ejaculate. Which will make you even more addicted to porn since you won't be able to stop edging for a while if you enjoy it
It’s weird because I’ve seen so many people talk about the “improved mental clarity, concentration and energy” on both sides, but holding yourself back from such a habit is never going to reliably give you such benefits…hence it’s best to just embrace it and let you enjoy yourself however you wish…
@@devenpapineau6261 Because it's different from person to person. If you're seriously struggling not to masturbate because "people on the internet told me it's going to be good for me", then it's not going to work for you.
So after a couple of years of semen retention cycles I will say that my ability to hold back from orgasm during sex has greatly diminished. Sometimes I will intentionally release every day for about a week and then my endurance will return but it’s just a down side that I don’t think she covered.
Fyi - I don't support no nut November just wanted to explain the very minimal science that people draw from and discuss potential harms!
I find your videos very informative. I have a question, I'm a healthy guy, but six years ago i stopped feeling the intense pleasure associated with orgasms. I do ejaculate without trouble but their is no pleasure with it. I have never had sex with anyone so Im positive I dont have any stds. I talked to my doctor about it and he didnt care and had no interest in figuring out why this happened. Ive been reaching out to doctors on youtube trying to find an answer, If you have any ideas whats wrong with me I would love to know, Thank you.

I am practicing semen retention. For 3 months now. Please conduct a research on Indian Brahamachary method of living. Indian semen retention means no ejaculation which is no edging no self stimulation what so ever. I have felt the difference. It helps in dopamine detox. 7 days might be torturous but post that, it also has material difference: confidence, lift heavier weights at the gym, focused, and lot more.
When you say these findings are not yet backed by modern science, I feel awkward why there is little to no study done on the same. Try it on for 14, 21, 28 56 and 84 days on different ethnicity (not race). Read some Indian literature.
Who am I to say so?
One who is experiencing the benefits manifest.
haha its the other way around. ejaculating is not worth it.
I've never experienced any increased mental clarity from abstinence. However, "post nut clarity" is definitely a thing.
Id have to agree.
post nut clarity needs to happen right before walking down the aisle to the altar.....notice how sex is always AFTER the wedding that night???? to late then.
@@workingshlub8861 It sounds like every man should release sometime soon before the wedding, not only to relieve stress, but to also have that clarity, like imagine, is she going to become a nag after marriage? How much less is she going to dress up and try? How bad are her habits, like is she in good shape from being young alone or does she have good habits? Does she give little to no affection ATM? Any red flags in the family? Might want to ask more questions...

I think the biggest issue with nofap and NNN is that there is not nearly enough data on the subject either way. Personally I've had very interesting experiences with nofap and based on those experiences would recommend it to anyone. Obviously this is anecdotal evidence and may not be the same for everyone but I've tried and for me it works. The first week is always the toughest but once you get past that the mental clarity starts to set in. To be clear, nofap doesn't mean no ejaculating, it just means no masturbating to porn. The whole purpose of nofap is to redirect our sexual efforts towards engaging with another human being instead of an image on the screen.
no fap is not masturbating at all but you can adapt for yourself than it becomes "no fap to porn"
@@ScoltPROCFAL right but it doesn't bar you from having sex. That's where some people lose sight of the goal a little bit

I feel like NNN is not for any health benefits or mental clarity, I know my mental clarity has suffered, but rather as a challenge to see if you're strong enough to ignore a primal urge with the solution strapped on to yourself. It was surprisingly difficult.

Exactly. It's also about avoiding an over-sexualized lifestyle, certain online addictions and ultimately self-control and morality. It's a kind of philosophical act of discipline against modern bodily hedonism.

I passed NNN and I saw fairly large differences in my daily life. Confidence feels higher, I'm mentally more engaged in whatever I'm doing. Some say it's placebo but every-time I abstain I feel these benefits. Even if you don't get the benefits I would recommend doing it anyways! Self discipline is definitely something gained out of abstaining.
Same here.

That’s totally placebo. You believe that’s helping so you truly feel like it’s helping you. You do what you want, there’s no cops to fine you if you do or if you dont. There’s no point to stop because masturbation doesnt harm you. I would recommend people to simply do what they want.
Porn addiction is a real thing and you shouldn't discourage people trying to beat it. 1 month of not fapping is not going to kill you.
Control your spirit, body and soul. Nofap is good, start and dont stop.
Imagine watching porn because you too lame to be a real man.
But if you want to do nofap it will be better with exercising, controlling your lust were actually powerful,tho you will have sexual frustration and angry man without exercising

The issue is not masturbation it’s porn. The surge in dopamine from porn is similar to hard drugs. After daily porn masturbation for decades our baseline level of dopamine drops significantly. Because of this, we begin to loose motivation and drive. After giving up porn, we will notice that we won’t want to masturbate everyday and our baseline levels of dopamine will return to normal. Giving us our much needed drive and motivation to live a healthy life.
I tried NNN but after seven days it began to feel uncomfortable in my pelvic floor so I intentionally failed. I did, however, quit porn for the entire month. It was not actually that hard to quit porn so I guess I didn't have a major addiction to it, but it's probably still a good thing to abstain from porn anyway.

For me personally no nut november taught me that I have a severe porn addiction. I start now without watching pornography. But I must say quitting smoking was actually easier for me than skipping porn. I struggled with quitting both at the same time and just kept not smoking and reduced (but no quit) my porn consumption.
My first goal is to complete my first three smokefree Months and than go naFap. I think its more manageable.
What do you guys think?
I'm not surprised to come across someone else who is in the exact situation as me. The smoking and porn are so tied together than quitting one quits the other and that is what makes it so hard. We're fighting two demons at once without any training. Seems the best course of action is to take small steps and not get discouraged when there's a relapse. Accept that it's gonna happen and actually plan and allow for it then gradually move that post further back. Set a time when you're going to indulge and cheat. A few days in the future at first and then a few weeks a few months etc. Plan those relapses so you can stay in control of them. It's gonna happen, might as well be when you decide. And stick to it. I've been doing this with my diet and I'm at the point that I feel physically ill when I overdo the carbs and sugar. Last Saturday, my scheduled porn night, I felt uncomfortably out of breath and the cigarettes tasted awful and I think it's because I've been restricting to only one during week nights. My body is naturally rejecting the toxins.
I can't say that I've ever or will ever smoke but I definitely faced a similar addiction for what seems like several years now that got so bad to the point where it felt like I was dieing inside my own mind. Now what saved me from this is going to sound dumb to some but it was an anime episode. It was just someone talking for 15 minutes that finally gave me some footing to push back against my problem. Course I did have some slips but then I realized perhaps if I want to be fair about a change in a situation then maybe instead of getting rid of it all together then to just reduce how often it happens. Currently I only indulge once every three weeks or so. But it's still nice to know about others going through a similar problem.

I think the main issue is lack of self-control. Abstinence from occasional masturbating may not have the ‘mind-blowing’ affect many people claim it does, but the truth is that the vast majority of men who struggle with masturbating struggle with the deeper issue within themselves which is addiction to the dopamine and the feeling they get once they ejaculate. Addiction is harmful regardless of what you’re addicted to, and gaining control of one’s self and one’s mind and emotions is, in my opinion, the main goal.
EDIT: added ‘lack of’.
Great input this is how I feel too!

I absolutely wish ALL doctors would use common understandable language like Dr. Malik. I feel many patients are uncomfortable discussing issues because they feel intimidated if they don't understand the technical medical jargon or terminology used by doctors so they don't ask the right questions or give the right answers when having a conversation with their doctors. Here I am 61 years old and only recently learned that a fractured bone was a broken bone, because I always thought fractured meant it was a small crack and not broken completely into two pieces. Dr. Malik is one of my favorite doctor resources on the internet because she understands half the battle of being a good doctor is being able to communicate and being understood. Awesome video, I have already sent it to several of my guy friends as I am sure they too could benefit from this information. Thank you Dr. Malik.
For those who understand this documentary, daily life will turn upside down: The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖
Doctor Rachel Ross does a excellent job of that
I think a fracture is any level of break, so it could be a small crack, or it could be a total break.
She uses the word "nut" which seems to be a technical term for ejaculation. I started watching because I eat a lot of nuts and wanted to know if I should change my diet. Eventually I did a dictionary look up on "nut." Don't know why she didn't use the normal word.

Nicely explained. Finally someone touched on epididymal hypertension being very painful. I have experienced this many times and the pain lasts as a dull ache for hours in the lower back and groin area. She is right, it's better to stop watching anything that arouses you altogether when trying to abstain.
The problem is just about anything arouses you after a while.
Experienced this once on my first date with my now wife. The ride home was the longest in my life. Always thought it was a myth before that. It really can be quite painful.
What if the arousal is spontaneous?
@@nilnull5457 that doesnt hurt. It dies down after a while anyway. But getting stimulated continuously through something visual like porn, that really makes the arousal last longer and the resultant blue 🔵🔵
I have had this problem since i had a vasectomy, imagine having the dull ache for days and an over inflated epididymas.
My body does not acknowledge no nut November. I went three days and ended up blasting in my underwear while I was sleeping.

If it happened naturally then you're still a participant and you can continue your journey, but if you do it intentionally then yeah you've lost the challenge.
Oh that's normal. When you sleep your body is working to get you ready for the next day, and they are also working on semen during the night, so, thats why most of the time men wake up bricked

NNN started as a challenge advocating awareness for Men's Mental Health and Testicular Cancer

This is not true. Nor is this an evolution of anything. You're thinking of "movember" which is a campaign to raise money/awareness for prostate cancer

As a man, I think I speak for many when I say we don't participate in No Nut November, or NNN, because we read in some men's magazine that it's good for us. I'm pretty sure a lot of us are already aware participation in NNN holds no real medical benefits.
We do it because we are men.

@rodrigojds everything I say is 100% serious and factual.
After 30 days of semen retention scientists have proved that the human body will begin to levitate and the mind will begin to integrate with the universe.
That’s pseudoscience try, poop retention. The results are real.
Why aren't there more studies conducted on this? Although it sounds silly, it's a very serious Men's health and wellbeing subject. Too much pornography and masturbation can be detrimental to a man's motivation and make them lethargic, affecting their lifestyle and relationships. Personally I can't do NNN any longer than a few days because the hormones disrupt my quality of sleep which has a negative affect. My general rule of thumb is to not fap on a workday day until post workout, or my energy levels and motivation can be slowed down during the workout.
The feminized West drags a man down enough haha!
Same thing happened to me, I couldn't sleep after the first week
If you work out alongside of doing nonut at least two weeks you will feel like superman

@@TheLemonKiller exactly I abstained for over two years my energy levels were insane, I was working out nearly everyday I simply had to. People around could not figure out how I had all this energy, I swear semen retention is like Natures PreWorkout
Great video. It's nice to hear an expert say everything I've learned over a 2+ year abstinence from porn. The inspiring thing about NNN is the amount of young people it gets each year to question their reliance or porn and the internet for mental comfort, relief, and stress reduction. Being porn free for more than two years now has really restored my sexual health in relationships and with myself. I did start with a long period of abstinence from masturbation (about a year), but I've reincorporated that and feeling better than I have ever felt about my relationship with my body. NNN helps people see this and realize that, as stated, masturbation can be a healthy thing, and it's the porn to which we have associated it that is the real, serious problem.
Before I met my husband he was doing that nofap for a year or so amd he was in an excellent mental state. Since he stopped that, his mentality has weakened and feels that because of excessive sex he's losing the passion for sex. Should I encourage him to.nofap again?

Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat
A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes
The puppet master congregates all the masses
Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit

The average Joe watches 70 minutes of porn weekly(based on self reports, which are obviously biased toward the lower end). Those 70 minutes are usually divided in a bunch of videos varying in content from the most "vanilla" to the most extreme. So, yeah, the average person already has and consumes Terabytes of porn. If you are a regular porn user you are already at the addiction point.
There is no healthy relationship between a man and a porn site, there can't be by the nature of the business, just like there is no healthy relationship between a chronic prostitute client and the prostitute. There can be a healthy relationship between a man and his own body and his own pleasure. NNN is not about quitting masturbation, it's about quitting porn, which is something everyone should be trying.
Finishing NNN for average people isn't a great deal, but for people who has more than a terabyte of porn in their computers or can't even start a day without fapping, it's a great achievement.

Ejaculation and porn addiction are two different things. Addiction is never a good thing. Having the discipline to overcome an addiction is mentally beneficial. Physiologically though, semen retention and not ejaculating can’t be beneficial for the body. The male reproduction glands are like any other organ. If you don’t use it, it loses its strength and function. Great video Dr. Malik!
Dr Malik missed one point. If you keep yourself physically active. Intense weight training, kegels combine with stretching and yoga. You are going to be a beast on another level. Try ejaculating before any exercise and your performance will drop. The main purpose of semen retention is to use your seed either for procreation or for your purpose.
I am practicing semen retention. For 3 months now. Please conduct a research on Indian Brahamachary method of living. Indian semen retention means no ejaculation which is no edging no self stimulation what so ever. I have felt the difference. It helps in dopamine detox. 7 days might be torturous but post that, it also has material difference: confidence, lift heavier weights at the gym, focused, and lot more.
When you say these findings are not yet backed by modern science, I feel awkward why there is little to no study done on the same. Try it on for 14, 21, 28 56 and 84 days on different ethnicity (not race). Read some Indian literature.
Who am I to say so?

@@rahulrajoria7535 this is correct for you peasants (naturals) 😜😂 they indeed need semen retention but men who are on TRT (legally and medically testosteron replacement therapy) or even on anabolic steroids (illegal juicers) they dont need semen retention nor do they get weak(er) from ejaculation or sex.

Semen Retention is like doing a dopamine cleanse. Yes an orgasm is a an amazing feeling but when we delay that reward we can achieve a lot more and still enjoy that same feeling later down the line. Yes it is all in our head, the affects of retaining this vital fluid. However the benefits are not just in our head, benefits like growth within & spiritual bliss due to discipline and will power.

At 31 I can honestly say there is a huge difference in the way I feel when abstaining from specifically masturbating vs doing it even every few days. When I do it, I feel less anxiety and worry less about women problems. But the the cost is I have less motivation to do things, intrusive thoughts, and my eye contact and confidence suffers. Also without fail, if I do it right before I go to bed I wake up in a bad mood with traces of negative thoughts.
When I abstain I have more overall confidence and ideas, but the trade off is my emotions feel much stronger and I'm more prone to over thinking or getting in my feelings.
Still haven't figured out the exact right balance but I've at least
Come

Don't be sorry these asshats think they're qualified to tell us how we feel it's no different than when women try to take care of themselves and men behave dismissively of it. Just do you and continue to do what you think is best for yourself. I support you man.
I'm 28. Dude finding that balance. That's exactly what I'm trying to find. Once I let too much go, I definitely get a lot of anxiety, faster heart rate, and I find myself using more energy to speak (I don't think I've seen anyone with that problem btw).
It is exactly what also happens to me. I'm single since like 8-9 years and if I don't fap at least one or twice a week I become too much cranky. I have the feeling I would be more incline to make a mistake and get stuck in a relationship I don't want to just because I want sex with her. It's like I would be in a position to get manipulated.

I feel like moderation is the key. If abstinence increases sensitivity to dopamine( which explains the test boost after abstinence), then doing it too often might cause a reduction in Dopamine receptor activity( emphasis on might.)
If this is the case, this reduction in the dopamine receptor might lead to more prolactin production, thus reducing testosterone. Low dopamine can screw with alot of body functions. I don't think giving it up is good either. I just don't know of any bodily function that you can do to an infinitely high frequency without consequences. Eating is healthy, but we can take it to an unhealthy place.
Breathing. I've been breathing every second of my life and there has been no adverse consequences. Also I dont think frequency is the right word. You can eat a lot, but in reality its the caloric quantity that impacts your body. You'd be surprised how much low calorie food can exist. You could find something to fill you up for less than a thousand calories and it'll have th opposite effect. Losing too much weight. I think there are a lot of factors at play in reality. For masturbation it could be, rather than frequency, the recovery time in-between. How long the act takes.. the quality of it. There could even be genetic factors at play.
@@An.Unsought.Thought you can hyperventilate. As far as eating, either with calorie dense foods or low calorie high volume foods, if you shove enough food down, it will have adverse consequences. From stomach and digestive problems to weight gain.

As a single guy, I always figured I had a porn addiction until I got a girlfriend who let me have sex. Suddenly I no longer had an interest in porn because I would much rather get my rocks off with my real life woman. When that relationship ended I went back to porn. So if you're single and watching porn, it's not the end of the world. Just make sure when you do find a sexual partner that they replace the porn watching. Oh yeah, and maybe hold on to them because going back to porn sucks!

Each car runs different
There's a lot of different opinion on this stuff. I personally feel that this stuff should be done in moderation at the end of the day. If you're going to masturbate just do it a few times a week, and do it without porn. I personally feel like I have more energy for my workouts, and sleep better when retaining for a little while. I think a lot of this stuff is hyped up anyways, but if you're taking steps to improve yourself via working out/diet, and putting in extra hours at work etc etc and trying to form meaningful relationships then that's the most important thing. So I feel moderation is the best route to take, that way you're not over doing it, yet you're not robbing yourself of your natural drive to ejaculate every now and then.
Life is all about balance and moderation. Even so called healthy habits can have negative consequences when overindulged upon.

After watching this video, I couldn’t help but think about the whole No Nut November phenomenon and whether it really holds any weight from a scientific standpoint. The idea of abstaining from something so natural, like masturbation, for an entire month seems a little counterintuitive, especially when you break down the facts presented here. The urologist's explanation about the effects of abstinence on semen production and testosterone levels was interesting. On one hand, it’s clear that there are some physiological responses to not releasing semen for a while, like temporary increases in testosterone or changes in seminal fluid composition. But on the other hand, the notion that abstaining for extended periods leads to any sort of major long-term health benefit seems a bit overblown. What really stood out to me is how some of these challenges, like 'No Nut November,' often get wrapped up in misconceptions and cultural stigmas around sexuality and self-control. The way some people talk about it, you’d think abstinence was the ultimate solution to achieving 'manliness' or 'discipline,' but as the urologist pointed out, there’s no real evidence to suggest that prolonged celibacy or restraint results in anything more than temporary physiological effects. For me, it’s also worth questioning the idea that there’s something inherently wrong or unhealthy about sexual release. The science shows that it’s pretty natural and healthy to engage in it regularly, so framing it as something that should be avoided or controlled for some kind of moral or physical benefit just doesn’t make sense. In the end, personal choice matters more than a collective challenge based on misconceptions about the body. It was an informative video, but I think it also raises more questions than answers. It’s all about balance, as with most things, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to these kinds of decisions. If anything, we should be more focused on being informed, questioning these cultural trends, and prioritizing our mental and physical well-being over arbitrary goals.

That being said, plenty of possible links to negative outcomes were being theorized, and some had corroborating evidence. There are also plenty of testimonials, the volume of which I think give it some credibility.
The average Joe watches 70 minutes of porn weekly(based on self reports, which are obviously biased toward the lower end). Those 70 minutes are usually divided in a bunch of videos varying in content from the most "vanilla" to the most extreme. So, yeah, the average person already has and consumes Terabytes of porn. If you are a regular porn user you are already at the addiction point.
There is no healthy relationship between a man and a porn site, there can't be by the nature of the business, just like there is no healthy relationship between a chronic prostitute client and the prostitute. There can be a healthy relationship between a man and his own body and his own pleasure. NNN is not about quitting masturbation, it's about quitting porn, which is something everyone should be trying.
@@SandhillScapegoat I came to that same conclusion essentially. I argued that P is a major public health risk, considering how pervasive and relatively new it is, as well as how little definite research there was at the time.
@@MClapYourHands Especially for children. We have the technology to ensure that if not all at least most of the users of porn websites are not underage, yet we reuse to use it under stupid premises such as "It won't stop ALL children" and "It will hurt people in the Industry". The reality is, a higher and higher source of revenue for porn sites comes from underage children aged 9-17, and that is money that goes to the big businesses and producers and it will still not touch the pockets of your run-of-the-mill exploited actors.
The second you start thinking and talking about pornography out loud, you realize that it's all cons, I can't find a single pro. Even as a sporadic consumer you should be able to see it.
Grandpap always said, "if you don't use it, you lose it."
Lol 😂😆
Wise words from grandpa
How come i never lost it then?
@@Adrenalean767 that just means you still have a chance before you do lose it. Good luck buddy.
Lose what bro? Lol. You mean if you use it you lose it.
For those wondering, when you orgasm im pretty sure you release some dopamine. In other words orgasms are basically a drug to some extent. Not nearly as strong, but stopping them can definitely help your day to day life. That doesnt mean to never do it because naturally your body will ejaculate during your sleep.
Also NNN should be no orgasms right!?! No way its just dont do porn. Almost any person can get off with no porn (might require more effort ).
Buddhist monks have been practicing semen retention for thousands of years. They know a lot about it. All the do's and dont's. Finding documentation on it would probably be difficult though. I practiced it when I was younger and found that it definitely made my workouts easier.
How long?
@@grahamwilkerson35 I know some indian monks who are doing it more than 25 + years
@@SKPPRESENTS what’s the results after 25 years?
I done 74 days, in all honesty it didn't do shit. Girls on my mind all the time, I couldn't think about other things. I also didn't get more attraction from girls on it.
@@starship9629 they're trying to get moksha(ultimate goal of our soul) by leavingthis birth death again birth again death cycle we all are living in ! And yes not only nofap but their main priority to worship to god and they live on Himalayas ....I also want to join them but my parents forcing me to become doctor and I also like it but I too want to do something else and leave this earth for forever and don't come here in next birth !
Tried to do NNN and learned that I can't last a little after 2 weeks. The blue balls was too painful that I had to unload several times in a row just to feel relief.
Same..2 weeks is the limit. Any little touch or glance from a woman stimulates me
You just dont have any will power or self control.. sad.
@@ringsofsaturnn6153 is it really our fault ? We were stimulated with sexual stuff since youth and we were pressured by our peers when young( I was touched when I was young) amen.
@An Meme yes. Thank you. I have been cutting ties with people who i lusted after
@An Meme this same advice is the same advice has saying “your depressed? Bro just go outside and be happy” it’s not that easy.
Denial of pleasure, whether it is sex, hunger or creature comfort has been a mainstay of many CULTS.
this has been recommended to me for the last 2 Novembers youtube is on point
For me semen retention /nofap has cleared my skin and gave me all kinds of benefits it's crazy I used to have bad acne but soon as I stopped fapping my skin cleared up I felt more energised and have more of a connection with people it's crazy.
I know right? They talk a lot about what proteins, minerals, vitamins, etc semen contains, also how good is it for the skin when applied on, but they forget to mention this sustain isn't created out of nowhere, it's all what a man loses
@@rhqqn446fjnnbbc Semen has very little vitamins and proteins. Almost nothing compared to what you get from food.
It's placebo
How did you sign up to those? I need these links to share to my friends and also beneficiary to me
@@man_mind what do you mean sign up? You just quit porn and masterbating and then the benefits will happen lol
I think no nut November is more about "will power" and your ability to determine if your "being controlled" by your nut or do "you control the nut"
It’s basically your main brain vs your 3rd leg brain
I heard master oogway's voice in my head
Yeah but that's stupid. Apply the same logic to other parts of your life. Would you stop eating for a month just to prove to yourself that "you control the food and the food doesn't control you"? No, because your body wasn't made to go a month without eating. Same happens with masturbation.
@@erikperhs_ so u are saying I'll die if I don't masturbate for a month? Thank you for that idea.
NNN is just a season where every guy just tries to prove to them selfs that they have some type of self control over their own sexual urges .....not that deep bro
I have done seamen retention for 30 days and my energy levels have trippled! I have more mental clarity and have increased my strength and stamina! The effects are astonishing.
Have you continued your journey?
I find that about 5 days to a week of abstinence makes my libido and overall energy surge. After that it returns to baseline or below, even.
Dude i feel the same thing
Put that energy into life and a relationship with a good girl instead of something as plastic and fake as porn
@@graylyhen9490 A lot of us cant just talk to a girl, its not as simple as "just try it"
@@miguelcabreracastro6968 bro why do you feel you can’t talk to girls?
@@miguelcabreracastro6968 This is not good advice but if it's that hard, drink a bit of alcohol to make it easier.
The best explanation of "blue balls" I have ever heard!
we do NNN just for the memes tbh 😂 didn't expect an actual doctor reviewing it
Yeah, I dont do it because of that, just a meme, but there is a lot of people that want to believe in something and participate to feel special or unique... humans are simple sometimes
I never did NNN, but I do No Nut Ramadan since I'm not married I can't have sex during nights of Ramadan and masturbation is prohibited when fasting
I remember doing no nut November once and thought it was pointless and never did it again
I don't do NNN for the "meme" porn is extremely harmful and jacking off all the time is gay. I'm not very religious but porn is satanic.
@@brightblackgrouse6236 and the reason you do nnn for is pointless since you can still masturbate and watch porn like you did before the difference is that you won't ejaculate. Which will make you even more addicted to porn since you won't be able to stop edging for a while if you enjoy it
"15 in 17 studies found a corollation of increased volume with abstinence"
And I just found out that 2 in 17 studies are just plain wrong...
"Mental clarity, improved concentration"
It's exactly the opposite for me. Nothing gives me more clarity and focus than rubbing one out.
thats post nut clarity not no nut clarity ur clarity is temporary.
It’s weird because I’ve seen so many people talk about the “improved mental clarity, concentration and energy” on both sides, but holding yourself back from such a habit is never going to reliably give you such benefits…hence it’s best to just embrace it and let you enjoy yourself however you wish…
It's different and varys from each person.
@@Jukerix No it's not temporary. I can assure you.
@@devenpapineau6261 Because it's different from person to person. If you're seriously struggling not to masturbate because "people on the internet told me it's going to be good for me", then it's not going to work for you.
So after a couple of years of semen retention cycles I will say that my ability to hold back from orgasm during sex has greatly diminished. Sometimes I will intentionally release every day for about a week and then my endurance will return but it’s just a down side that I don’t think she covered.
Thats interesting
I've realized that with my own mental notes as well, thank you for confirming my thoughts
Yes but at the same time if you have sex too many times you won't like it as much. You need to find your own balance between you and your partner.
That's interesting I would think it would do the opposite. Give u more control
@@Yoginimassage no because the muscles become weaker and your parts more sensitive
