I think the key to success for some of us is NOFAP

[mr the hairy monkey]

I am done here , I abide by maher's theory.

even if itsn't about hair loss , not masturbating makes you feel as the man that you really are.

I have noticed something (through personal experience) , the longer you refrain yourself from masturbating , the more hair will fall out when you'll masturbate (maybe just a coincidence) I have nothing scientifically proven to lean on.

by the way , fred and maher, you guys are like left wing and far right wing when it comes to masturbation related to hairloss

Noticed it too, my guess is bigger hormone release

Jesus, this ridiculous THEORY is still going?

It may be, but let's face it: FAP itself is kind of ridiculous and useless.

 

[TheHighGuy69]

I would do almost anything to have my full head of hair back. Multiple surgeries, twice daily topical creme regiments, killing a homeless person and taking their hair (lol).


But stop masturbating? That's insane. It's like that one episode of the twilight zone where one dude is the last man on Earth and he finally has time to read all the books he wants, but broke his glasses.

Why in the world would be so?

 

[TheHighGuy69]

Why in the world would be so?

Because I'm a human being with human urges. Perfectly natural urges that NEED to be fulfilled. And by the way, a backup of semen can lead to SEVERE prostate problems including a higher risk of prostate cancer.

Body passes "backup semen" when you urinate

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7850666.stm
Men who are more sexually active in their 20s and 30s may run a higher risk of prostate cancer, research suggests.
The Nottingham University study quizzed 800 men on how often they had sex or masturbated.
Those who were most active while younger had more chance of developing cancer later in life.
The researchers said higher levels of sex hormones could lead to a bigger sex drive and the cancer, the journal BJU International reported.

LOL, not this article again...about as true as this whole theory itself.

I heard NOFAP can lead to brain damage which might explain why these theories. I did see somewhere though that after watching p**rn T levels spiked right after so that could maybe do something if you watched p**rn constantly or everyday or something over a long time. It would still go back to normal though so I doubt even that could make much a difference its certainly reaching

 

[Firehawk]

during NOFAP... Thickening I had during NOFAP.... In addition to No fap to...

I almost cried from laughing. The casual way you use 'Fap' is fantastic made my day. Also, I will try Nofap.

Hey guys, I didn't read this whole thread, but I have tried no fap several times and took pics before and during, and it definitely did nothing whatsoever for me. There are plenty of people who have tried this, but I have yet to see any convincing pics of regrowth that was attributed to no fap. If it worked we would see many incredible before and after photos like we see for finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU, etc. The no fap idea is actually quite popular, yet results are nowhere to be seen. Personally I just continued to lose hair, and trust me I really wanted it to work. If it worked for me, I would be saying the opposite and showing off my incredible results.

Nofap for how long??? And its very very slow process. There is lack of evidence because not many can do it for a long period.

 

[mikey mike]

First time a little over 3 months believe it or not before ever taking finasteride (I did everything I could to avoid finasteride). However I was in a friends with benefits situation at the time so I did have actual sex at least every other week or so. Most recent attempt was for almost 5 weeks while taking finasteride every other day rather than every day. Did not work, and am now back to taking finasteride every day.

It took 8 months for me to stop sheding. (from 20-40 hairs in shower to 0-10). There were few sporadic occasions betwen 6 and 8th month when shed was 0, but after 8 months it was like you turned the off switch. Itching significally reduced just after few weeks.

Oh come on, go and do some sport, your "urges" will dissapear.
That with prostate problems because of not having sex/masturbating is from some dubious study or completely invented by p**rn industry.
In fact, other studies "showed" that on the contrary, men who had much sex/masturbated frequently had higher risk of prostate problems:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01/090126082343.htm
We know these studies, and these scientists they contradict each other everyday, but let's understand them, they need to justify their salaries.
But of course, very comfortable to use it to justify fapping...
I assure you that you will feel much better, and look much better by not masturbating, you can have sex, but masturbation is not a "natural" activity. Is a completely useless activity, nature surely hasn't designed us for it.
That with prostate cancer is a load of bull****.
Good luck!

Why would having sex be any different than masturbating?

Btw sorry if this was answered earlier. It's just your saying sex is ok, but masturbation is not. I thought the goal was to just cut back on ejaculations.

 

[dreamermerlin]

I heard NOFAP can lead to brain damage

Are you trying to say "FAP" instead of "NOFAP"?
Excessive FAP, especially when paired with pornography, can lead to brain damage.

Well, you have a point. Excessive sexual activity also cannot be good for the body, but i think masturbation, especially while watching p**rn, is way worse.

And what incredible results would you want with nofap? Stopping /slowing hair loss would be the only result, and this after a couple of month, 3 is quite little.
Don't expect miraculous regrowth, if any at all.
But, you will feel better and have more energy, and this is very good, despite the hair situation.

If I was effectively lowering DHT comparable to other treatments I would expect regrowth. I regrew a cosmetically significant amount of hair on finasteride in 3 months. Instead, I continued to lose hair at the same pace with no sign of slowing down even at month 3 with no fap.

Ok, if you say so...Anyway, hair or no hair, nofap is much better than fap.
