Does refraining from masturbation increase natural pheromone production?

Yes since I was 3 years old.

as i understand it this is becasue masturbating (in men) causes depletion of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone). Incidentally DHEA levels reach their peak in the morning, IIRC right before you wake up. Perhaps this is the reason for the inevitble MWS (morning wood sybdrome) that plagues most men.

correct me if im wrong!

This is FUN.
kindof weird at first, but by the end, (especially if you time it juuust right) you will both have a “blast”

I would wager that you body does react differently in a hormonal sense when you refarin from masturbation, but only in terms of the pituitary gland. Men’s brains produce natural androgens that increase your body’s ugres, and natural pheromone production. I would say clinicaly, to have a journal maybe, trying not to self stimulate for a considerable period (perhaps over the course of a few weeks if you can, longer periods will give you more accurate data) and then rate and record the responisveness you get on a scale of 1-5. then, I would try comparing that to a control group, say the period of time where you did self stimulate. you would have to set up the experiment yourself, but I would test the theory one week with Pheros and one week without and also combine self-stimulation and the lack thereof and see which is more effective.

I’m willing to bet that not masturbating combined with some androgen enhancing pheromones will give you a noticeable difference in responsiveness.

Testosterone produces mones as a result so the answer is to keep test levels high

Jerking it can release a sexual sweat but this is only temporary, when jerking it your test will be used towards more seman production rather than other functions, you do have a boosted surge of test while getting highly engaged but again this is temporary. Whats more long term is the affect of holding it all in instead. After going enough days to basically fill your tank you are no longer using up as much test on seman production so your test level is the same still but more of it is now free for other functions, this affect is not permanent as the body will soon recognize it has more than enough testosterone and will eventually shut down the production a little bit, to stop this recepter you will want to either masterbate or have sex (ejaculate seaman) to repeat the cycle.

the stage where test peaks at it’s highest is 1 week of holding it all in, than depending on your body your test may remain that high for a variable amount of days. if you know the body signs and behaviors you get than you can find your nitch.

I went a whole week and refrained from any self stimulation. On the 6 day the effects were most noticeable.

Interactions with women at work 1: I was sat at work about 5 seats away from a lady aged approx 30 and she just kept laughing and smiling at me. Everything i said to her seemed to put her in a good mood and make her laugh.

Interactions with women at work 2: This happened directly after the my meeting with the women above. This women was aged approx 44 to early 50’s. Again o e thing i noticed was that she eyed me up from about a foot away and had a massive smile on her face. Again there was alot of laughter involved in every word that she spoke.

To quickly conclude, after a week of no masterbation, women have reacted to me differently. A considerable difference was for women to be wholly more enthusiastic and firendly towards me for no reason! It made conversation very easy and i was treated like i was a celeb.

As an aside, on a more personal level, I feel more fine tuned with the world. I have more patience than ever, my weight training in the gym has increased and I can concentrate alot more on everyday activities.

Put it this way, my whole body and mind feel like they have been given a an injection of new life, simply by not masturbating.

Thanks for those observations, CHALA! Were you using any mones during that time?

Nope I was moneless. I’m on my 2nd week now! My body feels awesome, and a hell of a lot more like it’s operating at full capacity (muscles feel a lot more tighter, i walk with a spring in my step)

Going into my 3rd week tomorrow from refraining.

Summary: after the first few initial day, when mind over matter was important, the sense and need to masterbate have completely gone! I don’t feel like it’s a burning issue in the back of my head any more and now feel no need for any sexual release.

I just hope i can keep this going, so far so good.

Going to use : ammo, instant honesty, instant shine, tuth in various combos next week, so keep checking back for results anyone interested. They will all be worn when no masterbation has taken place.

Quick update, I was moneless and still have not done the deed so to speak.

In lectures today, I walked into the room using the back across as i was late, so got access into the lecture room at the top of the stairs. As soon as i opened the door the girl closest to it, turned to see who it was (me) and gave the biggest DIHL I have ever encountered. Much more blatant and stronger than anything i have EVER experienced with mones. She even offered me her pen to use to sign he register.

A hit? The DIHL definitely was, but maybe offering the pen was just her being nice.

At work, a manager who i get on really with on more friends level rather than work colleague seemed to be hell of a lot more intimidated than me. I was sat in the office, and he appeared and literally just stood behind me, waiting to use the computer. No hello, good morning etc. Now this is a manager with whom I am always chatting to, does me favour and we have never fallen out.

He stood behind me for a a minute, before i initiated conversation. I apologised to him and said, sorry i didn’t realise he was stood behind me (i knew he was) Totally out of character of him not to say anything to me. I got the impression i was giving off a signal of being respected, and an alpha male. Was he even too scared to say hello, and not interrupt me on the computer?

At the gym, the receptionist who is a solid 10/10, whom I’ve had strong sexual eye contact with for a few months was walking through the corridor and when I walked out of the gym in her path, she jumped out of the way. like not side stepped, it was like i had a sign around me saying ’ do not come within 5 meters of me’ Very odd.

However on the way out, she said to me in the most seductive way, ‘seeeee you’ and gave off a powerful tell. She started playing with her ear and hair.

All in all so far I can conclude, that the obvious things are: I appear more important to people, I’m giving the impression no other males should get on the wrong side of me. Girls are without a doubt seeing me as an alpha male and being flirty. Usual signs are big droopy eyes, smiles and wanting to be around my immediate personal zone.

I can’t wait to start combining mones aswell :smiley:

if God didnt want us to masturbate, he wouldnt have placed our arms in such a perfect angle towards our pinga. EVeryone is horny lol

Im also going to take this challenge and refrain from masturbating!

CHALA, you had no sexual stimuli in any kind for three weeks? No masturbating or sex with any partner?
You do work out and say you get fit, but how do you know the increase in attraction is not because you being fit? And if attraction is because you had no sex, how can you think its because your body might produce more pheromone? What if its opposite, and you are not having higher production of sexual pheromone, so the women can relax more and see you as a friend instead of those men who are just looking for sex?

Well, i am sorry if i am unruled for saying this. But right now you work out, and thats good, its healthy. But in the same way its healthy working out your sexual muscles! They also need to be fit! After three weeks you should have now put some parts of your body to sleep. Your sperm production should now have come to a minimum and the sperm quality are most likely not that good anymore. The production of several male hormones are most likely lower than normal. If you now after three weeks finally have sex, there will most likely not be a normal rock hard erection, and when you come, you will likely just get a out a tiny little squirt. Why so? Because you are not using you sexual part of your body anymore. You have made that part of your body weaker.

And whats up with that theory about no sex makes your body produce more pheromone?
I have lived with my x for five years, and not one day did she ever give me a cup of tea. But thats ok because i dont drink tea. There just wouldnt be any point for her making tea to me. Thats how it is with everything in life, also the body. Why should your body produce any pheromones if you dont care to use them? And with staying away from sex such as masturbating, you are literally telling your body that you dont use the pheromones either.

Thanks for your response and insight Qtips.

That’s right, absolutely no sexual stimulation, what so ever. I am single, and therefore have no girlfriend. so this makes it alot easier. Also I’m about halfway through my second semester at uni, so this means alot of the time i am stuck in the library and a night out is a rare thing. Again this makes any temptation to self stimulate almost non existent. Sure I may think about it now and again, but that feeling passed weeks ago. I can say, that the day between 3-14 are the hardest. It’s such a temptation to give in. However i now see this as my own personal challenge and a test to myself. I don’t want to be broken.

You make some good points about being fit. I do train 5 days a week and try to keep a clean diet. I don’t eat junk food and avoid, crisps, chocolates and biscuits. I do wonder that if I did the same experiment and was a slob, and had a poor diet and did no exercise would I get the same results? Probably not.

The increase in attention is simply not down to being fit. I’ve been weight training for about 3 years on and off. However i can say this with conviction, I have noticed changes in peoples behaviour towards me, when i have abstained from masturbation. Previous to this when I was having sex and masturbating the results I see now simply did not exist.

Could you elaborate what hormones would be decreased when havingno sex?, However I will say that going to the gym, I believe has helped me. if anything without masturbating I can lift heavier weights and concentrate alot more. Surley this would mean that more testosterone is being produced (in turn more siemen being produced, that gets recycled back into the body) on a regular basis and I am keeping my levels more than adequately higher, compared to someone who abstained and did not work out?

I see it as this, and this is for me personally. When I have abstained, I feel my body is producing more natural mones, in a bid to get sexually satisfied. I believe and again this is only my theory based on my own body, that when i was masturbating regularly my own mones were non existent, compared to now.

I was faking my body and brain into thinking I was getting sex, when in fact I wasn’t. Maybe it’s the act of nature that’s kicked in, and my body has adapted and evolved in response to this change?

I was also wondering about this (the topic), as I’ve noticed that when I masturbate, I’m obviously more calm, and collected.

However, when I don’t (it takes maybe a week or so to see notable change in behavior), I’m more like a 16 year old boy again: immature, and I have that “HEY LOOK AT ME” attitude and tend to do stupid stuff…

I am going on day 3 of it and I can say that I have noticed a difference in social interactions with my friends. Things that should not be funny cause all my friends to just laugh uncontrollabley. I have also noticed an increase In my muscle definition. Maybe because I am dropping my body fat % now that spring is coming and I want to be beach ready but, I am definitely noticing a big difference in my performance in the weight room. I am only usually able to do about 5-6 pull ups after a heavy hypertrophy workout. Today I cranked out 9 full extension pull ups. Nice and steady pace too. No break untill I hit that 9th one. So it does seem that abstaining from masturbation does increase strength to some degree. Probably has to do with the Testerone production. Oh and Idk if this helps but my grandpa was in the Marines and he says that when ever he would have to re-qualify for his physical he would not masturbate for a whole week prior. Said that it made a huge difference. Idk if it is true or not, only heard it on a hear say basis

Hi, Jabez.
An improved effect of your training regarding Testosterone can only be seen if your body have an increased production of it.
The four things that can increase your body production of Testosterone are : Sexual arusal, sleep, resistance training/muscle building and victory feelings/increase of status.

If you have not had any kind of sex during the last days, there will be a slight chance that you actually have decreased the Testosterone production instead of increased it. So if you realy think that you have got better work-outs because of Testosterone, then it is not because you dont masturbate anymore. But maybe because you have had some good night of sleep or because you have had been working out lately.

Sorry to say so, but its human to have sex, and when you refuse your body this good thing, you might get desperate. Desperate feelings might lead to foolish acts.

In fact it is proofed that making porno more accessable among population is actualy decreasing the number of rapes.

Dont misunderstand me, of course i dont think you would do such a thing. But i just want you to know that everybody act foolish when they dont get their needs fulfilled. So do i.

Well then how come professional boxers do not have sex in the weeks leading up to matches?

Jabez,
Probably because an older myth that having sex before a match/competition would decrease energy and decrease your much needed fluids.
There was a study somewhere that disproved this, and I think they even did a TV show segment on it somewhere.

Here’s a link to an article from National Geographic regarding this issue.
Sex and Sports: Should Athletes Abstain Before Big Events?

The article starts with this quote :
Jannini has found that sex in fact stimulates the production of testosterone, thus boosting aggression.
“After three months without sex, which is not so uncommon for some athletes, testosterone dramatically drops to levels close to children’s levels,” he said. “Do you think this may be useful for a boxer?”
