"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I read some threads saying that if you don't masturbate, you will increase your testosterone. So I am testing this theory to see if its true. I decided to do this mission Friday night...so it has been about 3 days since i spanked the monkey.

Results so far:

I feel very aggressive and dominate and people have been noticing it. Probably through my body language...for example, people are apologizing to me for no reason..reasons where they usually won't apologize for...its kinda weird..also, i feel like i don't give a crap about other people. I also feel like I need to get things done..i really don't know what..but i just feel like it.

I'll keep updating this daily.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

to be honest I think it ends up decreasing testerone levels or has no effect. You're probably just looking at events in your daily life differently. I would bet money you're basically acting the same but because you think that you should act a certain way because you stop masturbating you thus think you are acting that way and interpret events as such.

but as you can see, if you feel better about yourself that's all that really matters. Persistent thoughts will translate into actions. So if you think you should act more confident because you stop masturbating you probably will. It's just psychology.

also read this from bodybuilding.com:

Chinese researchers conducted a study in 2003, and enlisted twenty-eight male volunteers to abstain from ejaculation for a period of one week. The participants were tested daily for deviations on serum testosterone levels. The Chinese study was the first to measure the influence of ejaculation frequency on serum testosterone levels, and the results are provocative.

Researchers found that abstaining from ejaculation for six days had no impact on serum testosterone levels. On the seventh day, serum testosterone levels peaked to 145.7% of baseline, and then declined rapidly on the eighth day.7,8

Researchers believe testosterone declined on day eight from the negative feedback suppression of Leutinizing hormone secretion. Leutinizing hormone is essential for testosterone production, and LH determines free testosterone levels. Suppression of LH would decrease serum testosterone levels, returning them to baseline. The study determined that the frequency of sexual activity and ejaculation impacted testosterone levels.


so it seems that it really has no effect. it can increase testosterone levels on the 7th day but the negative feedback of not masturbating should not affect your overall levels. Thus, you acting more aggressive is all in your head. Just remember that your mind can be a powerful tool though.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

just because it diminishes testosterone doesn't preclude it from increasing your level of sexuality

You know what? No one cares whether you play with your wee wee - must you make it a topic for public scrutiny??? Instead of playing with your penis - learn how to play a musical instrument!!! Do you rather like to be known as a pianist virtuoso or a penis virtuoso - you choose!!!!!!

Mods, delete these master of my penis threads!!!!

Actually, it decreases testosterone. Aside from factual evidence, just think about it logically:

In nature, the 'alpha male' is the epitome of testosterone.

The 'alpha male' gets all the sex.

And yet, these animals utterly dominate their peers.

However, I've notced that if I go a week without masterbating I can last forever in the sack (literally.)

Unfortunately, I'm a horny son of a hitch that needs a girlfriend on the side but is too in love to consider it.

Day 4

Cons:
-I Feel horny as hell
-If i don't approach every girl that i want to..i get angry at myself..
-think about sex too much (i was checking out my professor...i think she caught me checking her out to. Its pretty easy since i can't hide it anymore..lol)

Pros:
-When i am talking to a girl that i am attracted to...i am in a sexual state..and i could tell they like it..
-Usually i hesitate to do stuff, but now its like act first, think later...
-i push myself harder at the gym.
-i small talk alot more with people.
-i feel more in control with myself.
-i hold eye contact for a while with a girl i'm attracted to, and i won't acknowledge a girl that i am not attracted to.

Side note:
My aggression went down tremendously compared to yesterday...

it might be a placebo as people suggest....but i got to say i act and feel a little bit differently than i usually do.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yeah, you're psychologically fooling yourself. But if it works, it works I guess...

I think alot of studies have shown it has a negligible effect on test. but I do noticeably feel more aggressive sexually and otherwise after not doing it for awhile. This can be helpful, but like that one "pimp comedian" I forget his name said, sometimes you're in the club with an ug girl and if you go in the bathroom and jerk off, you'll come back out and say b1tch you owe me 7 bucks! and then get the hell out of there.

Been there, done that.

For the first couple of days, you'll be raging with drive/power/whatever. However, your body will quickly adapt.
As for me, I actually saw a decline in desire after a few days. You simply stop caring about your little weenie.

The only thing you will get is the satisfaction of keeping a promise and reaching a goal.
Which is great.
However, I don't belive it will do much for you physically.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Am I the only one that doesn't have a huge surge of energy and the desire to fck anything thats moving after not wanking for a couple days...? I can't life mountains just by keeping my hands away from my weenie. Actually I barely notice much of a change at all.
