Usually I’ll go a week or a couple days with jerking off and I feel great. Can look People in the eye, confident and my eyes look better. But then I jerk off and I feel like a bitch. Any one else feel like this?

This is heavily and I mean heavily over exaggerated

This is propaganda from the cold shower bro's, its all phycological, it only effects you if you think it effects you.

Dont scroll for more than 5 min to find vid (prolonged novelty can become negative)
Basically when you find a good vid but you feel like you can find a even better one

Ideally you shouldn't even need a vid and use your mind
There is no dopamine down regulation when this happens

bro jus saying things with no source
Is it really though?

It is,
People get caught up with the whole dopamine thing not understanding how fast your dopamine upregulates/downregulates throughout the day,
gooning for 5 min isnt going massively change that or shift overall baseline.

What makes a bigger difference is the extended novelty, for example if your watching a 20 min video and your waiting for the good part, n than you go to another video that you think is even better in the same session, that where problem lies, as your in this constant state for a long period of time which can have some effect. n what your gooning to also plays a role like hentai and aliens shii like that.

If its a 10 min session to normal homemade vid or a picture of someone who you know IRL, than no real problem, its only a problem if your view as a problem.
Nocebo is a powerful drug

Now address this from a lens of someone who chronically goons, sometimes several times a day
