or stop masturbating as much (or at all) and this will spike your testosterone and make you hornier which might just help.
This is incorrect.
The effects of masturbation on testosterone and horniness are a lot more complicated then you think.
I've experimented with nofap for years and I've done it very seriously and kept notes.
Eliminating masturbation completely is more likely to kill your sex drive then increase it.
I always cringe when i see guys giving people the advice of "stop masturbating and watching porn completely"
I'll agree with you that it is more nuanced than just eliminating masturbation completely.
Masturbation is all about how you do it. If it is done in a mindful and compassionate way it can be a great avenue for learning more about what gives you pleasure and allows you to tune in more to your arousal levels. This can give you more skill when you're actually with a girl in bed, especially with lasting longer.
Porn is horrible. I stand by that statement. Yeah, one McDonald's cheeseburger ain't gonna kill you, but why bother eating it when you can go buy other more wholesome, tasty food?
If you aren't masturbating at all
AND are not doing sexual energy practices
AND have no sexual interactions with women then I agree, eliminating masturbation completely would likely kill your sex drive.
The taoists call ejaculation the "little death".
In an ideal world, a man would learn how to have non-ejaculatory orgasms (
like what Mantak Chia teaches), have lots of sex without ejaculating, then would use some of those energy practices to move the sexual energy around his body to increase his overall vitality/health. How else does Mantak Chia look like a stud at the ripe age of 75? He's likely a black belt at this shit.
The ejaculation would be something this ideal man has absolute control over and can decide to cum when/if he wants to; probably because he feels like the girl deserves it or the couple wants to have a kid. Orgasm quality at the time of conception plays a role in genetics.
