a whole year is a long time if you regularly masturbate it may sound like an absurd amount of time to go without masturbating even if you masturbate rarely once a month or so a year is still a long time with modern movements like noof fap being promoted as healthy Endeavors especially targeted at men we wonder what actually happens if you go A Year Without masturbating today we'll be looking at The Good the Bad and the Ugly when it comes to masturbation abstinence number one prevents problematic pornography use it's no secret that masturbation is often accompanied
by porn we don't always consider how intertwined they are to the point that they're almost synonymous the unfortunate truth is that the relationship can become problematic ponography is addictive and as that dopamine cycle becomes weaker people can be tempted to look for weirder and sometimes darker stuff because masturbation and porn are so closely intertwined abstinence from masturbating for a long time can help you tear yourself free from The Addictive hooks of porn more importantly doing so will help you break away from the weirder problematic stuff problematic pornography use doesn't just apply to the kinds of
porn you watch but also to how you watch it and how often you watch it if you find yourself thinking about porn or masturbating often and at inappropriate times abstaining from masturbating could be great for you so what would this look like after a year porn won't have a strong hold on you and your thoughts around sex and relationships will be a lot healthier even if you aren't addicted to masturbation you may find sex to be a lot more fulfilling when you abstain number two more energy if you're dealing with low energy and you feel
lethargic the last thing you might suspect as the cause might be your masturbation habits on the surface it doesn't seem like it would have any effect on your energy at all a study published in the Journal of addiction science elaborates on the fact that porn and masturbation do have a negative impact on your energy mood motivation and confidence these negative effects can be still present if you masturbate with porn but they are made more severe with porn use it can be difficult to abstain from one without also abstaining from the other this can affect anyone
who masturbates not just those who are addicted by abstaining you may see a significant Improvement in not only your energy your motivation and your mood but it can also reduce feelings of anxiety and mental fatigue will this change last for an entire it might not feel like it but that could be attributed to abstinence becoming the new normal for you number three less of a focus on sex you'd think masturbating less would make you think about sex a lot more but research conducted by social psychologists Roland imhof and Felix Zimmer suggests otherwise abstinence from musturbation
diminishes the effects of hypersexuality in other words by abstaining from uration you aren't wired to look for sex in everything and you you won't have that feeling of always being slightly hungry for your next orgasm this can do a lot of good it can help you improve your relationships with other people as hypersexuality makes people less social it gives you room in your brain to concentrate on the things that really matter improving your performance at work or school however like any addiction it is difficult to break so for a time that urge to masturbate will
be stronger than ever before after a year you might wonder how you ever got anything done before with hyper sexuality taking up so much space in your mind number four there may be health risks you may have heard that by not masturbating your semen can become unhealthy and you will be at a greater risk of prostate cancer this may be true as indicated by a study conducted by cancer epidemiologist Dr Jennifer Ryder and colleagues however as any other experts in this field would be quick to point out this study applied to middle-aged men who were
asked to self-report the results on not clear enough to definitively say abstaining from ejaculation will give you prostate cancer it is still good to be informed on this especially because as more research is conducted it could be more or less damaging than we realize number five addressing your hormones there's a lot more to masturbation than choosing to have sex or not there's also the undeniable presence of hormones in the equation sometimes we need a little way to blow off steam and release some of that tension even after abstain staining for a long time you will
still feel those urges if you don't have a way to release that tension you may find yourself struggling to concentrate this isn't the same as hypersexuality as you won't necessarily feel the anxiety and mental fatigue that come with hypersexuality after a whole year of abstaining from masturbation it's likely that your hormones will adjust but that isn't necessarily a good thing as it can affect your libido and sexual health so should you go A Year Without masturbating a year is a really long time and the research isn't as far as it needs to be for a
definitive answer that being said there are a few huge benefits to abstaining so maybe a whole year is a lofty and unnecessary goal try listening to your body go as long as you can without masturbating and definitely avoid porn as much as you can overc consumption of porn and frequent masturbation appear to be the main culprits in the negative impact of masturbation do you think you could abstain for a whole year if this video was helpful or more informative remember to leave a like And subscribe to Psy too for more videos like this see you
