not physically, but mentally
-gooning decreases motivation
- u want to talk to women less as you subconsciously think you already get girls
-watching other dudes fuck a girl also makes u a cuck, u are getting horny and turned on because another dude is getting to fuck a hot girl

if u must, goon to past experiences in ur head or some shit

No, reduced stress > Lowered Cortisol > less bloat:woo:

Only study showing the benefits of no-fap was on 28 guys and resulted to a 45% test boost on day 7, on day 8 test levels went back to normal

If you are going to goon regardless, limit yourself to as little as you can, as it will mess up your mental

No dude, gooning (with porn is worse) makes your brain fucked up. im not even gonna talk about the prolactin spike afterwards, Your nucleus accumbens (which is responsible for rewarding process) becomes fucked and also your hypofrontality gets crushed in the slums of mumbai. in short you keep getting more stressed, good thing is if you arent addicted to gooning that means all of the things i said didnt happen yet except the prolactin spike

Does gooning make you look worse in any way other than confidence?
Porn is nasty and is terrible for you and is just as bad if not worse than doomscrolling. Porn sites are mostly owned by z10n1sts. Gooning excessively gives ED and is nasty and makes you perform terribly and has tons of other bad side effects if done too frequently.

Moral of the story: don't goon every day.

Moderate gooning doesn't fuck your nucleus accumbens and hypofrontality. Only if your doing it more than 2-4 times per day, which no-one is doing

As I said with porn it has stronger effect and I also said this only applies if you are addicted. If you're addicted then your NAc is already fucked lol, also when you're addicted the desired frequency of the action can vary with each person

Masturbating for any substantial amount of time and watching and comparing people are probably the worst aspects. Like, as soon as you get the urge and have the privacy, speed fap without porn or to softcore to completion. Though I think training for endurance with something like Fap Hero is legit to a certain extent.

Lowkey yeah, cyclical SR is law
The biggest difference is in your energy, but looks-wise, your eyes lose their sense of natural "charm," so to speak and your skin does not have the same youthful resiliance and coloring.
