Let’s face it: many people declare (or make jokes about) participating in “No Nut November,” but it never lasts.
And given the amount of specialists voicing their worries, that’s probably for the best.
However, one man made the decision to abstain from masturbation for an entire year and shared the startling changes he observed.
And for those who have (fortunately) never heard of it before, it generally refers to abstaining from masturbating in front of pornographic material.
In this instance, the YouTuber made the decision to completely stop masturbating.
According to Dalati, watching a lot of porn is more harmful than actually “fapping,” as it causes you to become “accustomed to an unrealistic approach.”
He claimed that his “mind was so much more clear” after giving that up, adding, “I did notice a benefit of increased focus.”
I was able to focus all of my attention and energy on my work instead of being sidetracked and thinking about [porn/masturbating] all the time. My ability to concentrate was improved, regardless of whether I was exercising in a gym or doing anything else at the time.
Because he was living his life the way he “should be” and not experiencing “extreme dopamine rushes every single day,” he also reported feeling more confident.
“My approach to situations was so much more realistic and I felt so much more like myself,” Dalati said.
He said that the first two weeks of quitting were the most difficult for him since he was “always feeling the urge” and his “drive was through the roof.”
The benefits then began to accrue, and he “settled down.”
The YouTuber believed that he had more energy and could be more productive if he didn’t masturbate every day.
He also reported having “increased mental clarity,” which kept coming to mind all the time.
Although he acknowledged that he experienced the advantages, he stated that he still believes that “fapping is fine if done in moderation.”
Dalati now believes that rather than making it a daily habit, it’s best to simply “listen to your body” and only do it when you get “an urge.”
He noted that he couldn’t really comment on his testosterone levels because he didn’t measure them, but he believes they “may have” increased because of how much stronger and more concentrated he felt when working out.
“I think it’s definitely a good experience for everyone,” he said, adding, “and with the benefits of increased energy, mental clarity, and increased productivity, you’ll find that you’re actually doing a lot more in your day.” It also offers you a new perspective on a daily basis.
