NOFAP or continue having erections/light masturbation?

[postrocker]

Hi everyone,

I've read in this forum some people saying that NOFAP helped them minimize/beat Peyronies Disease. Others, that the penis needs to receive blood normally and that helps its recovery process.

What are your insights? I really don't have a clue.

Thanks.

The problem with daily stimulation is your capacity for arousal goes down and you require more and more, while your penis will suffer poor blood flow and nocturnal erections. You will have better blood flow by abstaining and only masturbating once a week or less, than daily.

You have to find your own balance, but sadly most men never try to abstain or see the benefits since they end up binging before any progress can be made.

Basically you want to be mildly aroused on a daily basis. You want the best quality erections but not the most frequent (other than nighttime, which is different).

Older guys who are busy or don't have a high libido may be a different story, in which they need to really try to make time once a week to have sex or masturbate and enjoy it.

In my opinion no fap with daily kegals. People misunderstand no fap as making penis dead. Infact it is giving penis time to heal by increasing blood flow using kegals, leg excercises etc, while maintaining healthy life style to balance dopamine receptors.

Thank you for your response and I agree that people going on binge masturbation take more and more to have a quality erection.

That's an interesting view. So let me rephrase my question: how about no ejaculation but getting your penis erect some times per day and maybe without touching it, just to let the blood flow into it? That would be the "mildly aroused" state or even that could prove harmful?

Also thank you, justcause91.

I've always read on this forum that if you can get an erection without pain, it's fair game.

That being said, I welcome any erection I get, but never seek them out like I used to. One of the factors that I think led me here was masturbating daily, mostly because I was bored and watched porn to pass the time.

So, I don't watch porn anymore (which in a way has been liberating) but when I get an erection I "keep it going" so the blood flows to it. I also wake up with an erection daily. I masturbate probably once a week now, or whenever I have a day that is filled with erections and it just won't go away.

A rambling way to say I get erections, let them do their thing, but only act on them if they aren't going away on their own

Also, when I do masturbate, I use lube. That's a new development as well which I think helps. It eliminates the need for hard gripping or added trauma to the penis

I have noticed some improvement while abstaining from masturbation

I am also doing that. Big difference
