I'm doing nofap in an attempt resolve sexual dysfunction issues

[worm]

Hey @David_MPN

As mentioned, here are some links/ scientific studies for zinc:

PubMed https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2800928/

Link's to studies in this page
http://www.healthline.com/health/erectile-dysfunction/zinc

And user reviews in this link
http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/37799-zinc-changed-my-life/

Anyhow this worked wonders for me and has been for 6/7 years. I would not exceed 50mgs day and use picolinate (now brand ideally) .

Copper is good to balance out the zinc and it adds the benefit of nitric oxide above. I put the link further up in a previous post.

I've tried many thing supplements, including Cialis, finally got hard but had little to no volume. Zinc turned everything around for me.

Anyhow thats my experience, hopefully it can help you.

Good luck. I tried nofap a couple years ago, didn't get past 1 month I don't think, I was manic with horniness and couldn't concentrate on anything else. I was only really doing it out of interest. I would regularly read the epic NoFap thread on BodyBuilding.com, it was pretty funny and a good sense of camaraderie. I think excessive p*rn can be quite damaging for certain people and I completely believe in p*rn-induced ED.

I know you said you had your bloods tested but you didn't mention estrogen - I assume you had that tested too? Overweight + ED are both linked with elevated estrogen.

p**rn induced ED? Maturb

Back up your claim


When you are sexually aroused you release dopamine in the brain. To much dopamine can, and will cause problems after prolonged use. When you watch porno, and it make it a habiotual habit the nerves in your brain gradually become less responsive, and sensitive to dopamine. Over time less sexual arousal around real women, not being sufficient enough to arouse you. Why do you think after chronic p*rn through of the years you require more and more substance to get aroused, and reach orgasm. Where as when you take a break, and watch it... you orgasm fairly quickly.


p*rn is not harmless, and it isn't a myth.

When you jerk off to pornography repeatedly over and over, through the years it takes more sexual arousal to reach orgasm. Normal women don't create that much excitement, and it takes more substance or hotter fetishes to get off.



I take it you are not renowned in dopamine, erections and how libido is influenced? it's fairly logical, and virtual reality, and real life stimulus are no different as they operate on a dopamine connection for arousal.


To much is never a good thing. The good news is that, this problem is reversible by simply abstaining from to much pornography, limiting usage and reconnecting with real women,.


There is a rise in ED amongst the youth, and to no suprise high speed internet, and pornography. Our fathers never experienced ED, it was almost unheard of...... All they had were play boys.

Too much is NEVER enough, as far a dopamine.

I take amphetamines all the time. It boosts my performance. It makes me HIGHER THAN GOD!!

As the SON OF GOD, drugs are good for the SOUL.

Whoaaa !!!!!! How can I give 10000x likes to a single post ??????

distorted sexuality and other problems due to years of p*rn->masturbation->orgasm, in my case an average a little over ~2x/day, sometimes higher, since I was ~13.

This may come across as slightly unrelated, but would you consider that hair loss be linked to the "other problems" associated with masturbation that you mention?

I say this because I've seen regular posts on /r/NoFap claiming that quitting PMO has helped participants stop early hair loss (average age of users on the sub is less than 25) and, in some cases, helped them regrow hair.

Science also seems to underline that ejaculation only increases the conversion on testosterone into DHT (Oxytocin, released during ejaculation, activates 5α-reductase - which does the converting)

 

[mdmnota]

I can say it slowed down my hair loss, and got me rid of itch. No signs of regrowth, and hair is still falling but in much lower rate.

 

[Afro_Vacancy]

This thread is off-topic, it has nothing to do with hair loss.

There is no useful evidence that hair loss and masturbation are causally related.

It's completely plausible to me that p**rn can contribute to ED. In my case, I don't believe it's the only factor, but it could well be a significant one.

Ok. Seems i was not alone with the problem at 18 ( YES at 18 ) And i will just give some sentences without stories behind( its personal ) because i solved everything.

1. p**rn is making your ED
2. Masturbating often that one time per 3 days is increasing your ED
3. Thats why Masturbating is making your ED even worse when you are getting sex.
4. Erectile Disfunction probably will make you another problem with is Premature Ejaculation cause they go often together. - In the sex
5. Stop f*****g wanking every day 10 times, drop porns. Check your blood preassure levels and urine system. L-Arginina + tons of zinc + ginseng.
6. Dont Overthinking it. And Remove stress out of your body.
7. Dont overthinking it.
8. No you dont have ED.
9. I am Serious. RELAX.



Ta DAAM! Thats how my dick had a ressurection. PS. I wasnt on finasteride yet.

Stress and overthinking kills half of your potential.

And even when i jumped on finasteride i was doing hard af

Idk How finasteride can affects erections seriously... for me its kind of bullshit. Lets say dht norms are 250-1000 ng/dl. I had 280 on finasteride and still i didnt even noticed problems on finasteride or off.

90% people here who suffers from " finasteride caused me ED and low libido " Probably were wanking every day in mind of trying to notice finasteride side effects.

People suffers from Erectile Disfunction + Premature ejaculation even not on finasteride.

My issues have nothing to do with finasteride and I've never claimed that they do.

Ginseng? Maybe. Isn't there a ginseng from every country in Asia? lol.

I've wanted to say this many times, but didn't feel the flame war would be worth it

Thanks for doing it instead

Just push your minds out of your brain, it helps somehow. Dislikes sometimes are worth of telling brutal truth.

Perhaps but there are a bunch of mysteries:

1) Erectile dysfunction is really skyrocketing in the past few years. It used to be unheard of among young couple. It was estimated at a prevalence of ~1%, now some estimates place it significantly in excess of ~10%. The rate is skyrocketing even among men like myself who had never taken finasteride.

2) Lots of people report ED from finasteride, but virtually none report ED from minoxidil or nizoral. We're talking about exactly the same population of men, men who are undergoing hair loss and are insecure about it and get treatments that society shames. If the population is the same, the drug is different, and the symptoms are different, blame the drug.

More problems are skyrocketing this times cause people also speaking about problems more. Doing researches and shits bla bla. Internet just shows which problems are most common and people also trying to find solutions.

There's more to it than that. I don't doubt that lifestyle and over stimulation through p**rn plays a big part.

No. Some things are getting worse, some are staying the same, some are getting better. Each has their own epidemiology.

Any one experience numb dick and balls on finasteride? My dick is f*****g numb..total erectile dysfunction, dick shrunk an inch.

I can see my dick retracting into my body..

Lots of people. Get off the drug. If problems persist, consider the CDnuts protocol.

If MASTURBATION was bad, I would be a Norwood 7 by now!

Seriously, I masturbate all the time (as if anybody wanted to know!). In fact, sometimes
I get blisters from doing it.

If anything, it's giving me better hand/eye coordination.
