    I sincerely dont and cant understand no-fap outside of an addiction 12-steps/abstinence style vantage point.

        Like, i dont get how they (presumuably) view having an orgasm-via-penis-in-vagina everyday as truly and biologically distinct from everyday orgasm-via-masturbation. I dont think your body truly knows the difference in a mechanical sense.

          Mechanical isn’t the only part being played. There’s hormones too. I’m positive there’s differences there depending on alone or with someone. Whether or not that has any health implications I’ve no idea.

          Having never looked into it, beyond what I come across occasionally on sites like this, I always assumed the idea was that being desperate for “relief” somehow made them more attractive to women, hormonally, or made them more “alpha”? Somehow.

          Really stupid shit that kids fall for, I guess.

            We all know that the thing women are most attracted to is desperation. /s

            being desperate for “relief” somehow makes men more attractive to women, hormonally

            It’s true!

      Yeah it would basically be an anti addiction approach for me. Addiction runs in my family and we get addicted to everything remotely pleasurable. So I’ve spent my whole life saying no to alcohol & drugs & cigarettes, and since I cant find a suitable companion I have to say no to orgasms too 🤷🏼‍♀️ For me it feels empowering.
