anyone know the effects of fap on your blood pressure/heart?

Casinopasino, this is what comes up if you google it!!

I copy paste:

You have heard wrong and right. First for the penis to erect your heart has to beat faster(arousal stage) to pump in the blood in chambers of the penis. Of course it is a very short process. During masturbation the erection has to be kept till discharge, the activity will keep the heart in very active mode. Once the discharge takes place a healthy heart comes back to normal in couple of minutes.In other words the BP has no direct relationship except that after one is satisfied his state of mind relaxes reducing the BP. Provided one is not guilty about masturbation if so there may be negative affect.

I discovered nofap earlier this year and gave it a shot, lasted one week. There were some pretty interesting changes but I am not sure if I can handle being that alpha after all these years.

Will give it another shot though.

Still going strong but Tue real test started yesterday, first day on my own at night since the gf is back home. Def want to look at some tits right about now, posting here instead... T_T fml

hold guys!!

Starting yesterday my mind wants to play tricky, when im trying to sleep i start planning what to do the next days, but yesterday my mind wanted to go to the most sweet memories and i was like 'oh yeah when i was dating that girl....' luckily i realized it was a trick becasuse the only thing i was getting was a bonner,, then restart thinking aobut anything else.

till now is harder the no fap deal than want to search for porn
day 7 btw

Fuck sign me up there is definately some truth to it. I went 2-3 months twice before (during summers out of town working with like no personal space) I found it really easy but the reason is their was no internet access. I definately felt the best of my life then although thier were other factors like mass drugs and alcohol (probably also due to no internet)
I noticed last 6 months porn just doesint do much for me and ive also been pretty depressed and my poker work ethic has dropped like 80%

Also interesting fact though If I turned into a porn adict it was definately after not having porn for 3 months watch out for da rebound.

After reset your brain returns to normal sensitivity, hyperstimulating material feels super good (for a while) which makes it addictive.
But indulging in that will just numb your brain again, so you'll need another reset.

The best thing to do is to just find a pattern you're comfortable with and stay at that level.

For example, watch only quality, vanilla, female-friendly porn, do not fast forward for a 'perfect shot' that turns you on a lot, just let it run.
Don't scroll through videos until one that that turns you on a lot. Just use it as inspiration for your own imagination.
Set a masturbation schedule that's healthy, between 1-7 times per week. Do not deviate.

Your brain will adapt to that level of stimulation so it feels normal, and when you're supposed to be hyperstimulated, ie hot girl in your bed, your body will work as designed.

As people have mentioned and as mentioned in the video, there is a crossover effect to other things than sex, so for example if you constantly use hyperstimulating porn you may also not be able to be motivated by good career opportunities etc, because your brain by then only responds to hyperstimulating opportunities.

Keep having nightmares, generally don't remember my dreams, rarely lucid dream. Start off as a lucid dream that turned into a nightmare gah

huh lets do it
day 1~

Im in since may 22. Not so hard till there. I have a Gf though, its not that hard, but i used to fap the next days she left so its a small improvement !
Dont really see any change so far !

Didn't watch porn for 3 weeks now and it feels great, because I have to use my imagination to get a boner. Going back in time and thinking about the girls I dated/layed in the Last couple years feels great and I think I'm more
active and motivated since I don't watch porn anymore.

Removed the list coz it will take too much effort to keep track of what everyone is doing and as someone posted, it was a little bit gay.

People can just update their progress and whatever good/bad points of no fap theyre experiencing.

on day 16 now, apart from the wierd dreams, im feeling really good, probably better than ive ever felt in a long time.

> getting up every morning before work and running
> more social
> feeling happier

Employee of the month; boss said that my effort and focus at work was way better. Definitely think no-fap helped with that and feeling less lethargic and apathetic in general.

Havent really had any strong urges to stop the run, make a conscious effort to not sit at my desk with my hand down my pants even though its the most efficient way for heating your non-mouse hand.

Be careful with this. Your description sounds just like watching a new kind of porn. Once the newness wears off, it will feel 'normal' instead of great, and you may feel an urge to look for something that feels 'great'.

Think about it. Seriously.
