This is the way

Fap-Scientist reporting in. After years of research and intensive study, I have an explanation. The knowledge is almost occult, but it's still scientifically valid. I will explain why nofap "works". Coomers absolutely hate this one simple trick.

Testosterone is an Androgen. Androgens need an Androgen Receptor (AR) to do their job. When an AR binds with an Androgen, the Androgen is consumed and utilized in the body, but the AR is destroyed and must regrow.

When you orgasm, you experience a massive wave of DiHydroTestosterone (DHT) (also an Androgen) that runs through the blood vessels in your head, binding with all available ARs. Now that all of your ARs have been "wiped", there's no longer any (or very few remaining) ARs available to consume the Testosterone in your blood stream. If you don't consume Testosterone, it just sits in your blood stream. You won't begin utilizing Testosterone again until your ARs regrow in that region. This is a logical explanation for why porn and masturbation advocates state that "WELL AKSHUALLY TESTOSTERONE GOES UP AFTER JERKING IT CHECKMATE NAZZZIII!". Yeah, no shit your Testosterone concentration goes up - you're no longer consuming it! Your endocrine system is still producing the same amount briefly after orgasm until it down-regulates due to the buildup of unused Testosterone.

This is basic biology, and the results of NoFap shouldn't surprise ANYONE. Men have always been known to get aggressive when they don't have sex for a long period of time. The endocrine system produces Testosterone that MUST be consumed by an AR to be utilized in the body. No AR? No Testosterone benefits. You can be surrounded by food, but if you don't have a mouth, you can't eat it. If you stop shooting baby batter for awhile? Whoa, it's almost like your body isn't constantly straining itself to eject the vital nutrients required to create life and has time to start rebuilding its AR network and better utilize Testosterone.

Here's where you can release sigh of relief if you're not enthusiastic about NoFap. The effects of DHT-induced AR wiping is limited to the mental effects that Testosterone provides to the brain - namely willpower, confidence, and aggression. The rest of your body's ability to utilize Testosterone is unaffected.

In conclusion:

NO, NoFap DOES NOT inhibit or enhance your muscle growth - exercise and nutrition are still king.. but you will be much more motivated and have more energy (NOTHING is free in life) to do those.

YES, NoFap/Abstinence "improves" your confidence/willpower, but only compared to someone who is always blowing a nut. What you're actually doing is restoring your natural levels of confidence. Results may vary, but your sustained NoFap/Abstaining levels of aggression/willpower will always be higher than when you're slinging goop.

NO, the objective of NoFap IS NOT to become a Monk who drags his 20lb balls up a mountainside in an act of deliberate suffering. The objective of NoFap is to STOP MASTURBATING. NoFap is NO DIFFERENT than the goal of any civilization - to focus the natural energies of mankind into productive labor (and it's an absolute shame that a movement like NoFap has to be explained and defended). Work hard and focus your energy on becoming a greater man, and you will find someone who will help you with your God-given "problem".

TL:DR;

Don't let masturbation take your ARs. Stop touching yourself!

But won't you just have nocturnal emissions if you don't jerk it at least once a week?

Interesting.
