Comment on If you're sexually frustrated & can never find a mate & decide to live a life of "nofap," what are the effects that buildup of sexual frustration has?

    Like, i dont get how they (presumuably) view having an orgasm-via-penis-in-vagina as biologically distinct from 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.

        It’s true!

  I’ve also seen it recommended for breaking “death grip” habits.

  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.
