For my orthodox brothers

How many times do you go to the gym per week? 🤷‍♂️🏋️

The brain can distinguish between touch from others and touch from oneself using skin receptors. The hormonal response to touch from others, combined with psychological factors and better stress hormone control, suggests that sex with a partner is better than masturbation for testosterone production. During sexual arousal, the body releases prolactin, which affects dopamine levels in the brain and regulates sexual satisfaction. Having too much prolactin can lead to low testosterone and erectile issues, often caused by pituitary tumors or certain medications. Watching erotic films while masturbating can increase cortisol levels, possibly due to psychological factors, which might harm short-term testosterone production in the brain, and potentially long-term if done regularly. However, orgasms from sex can increase levels of free testosterone, serum testosterone, and DHT. Feeling guilty about sex or masturbation can trigger stress responses that cancel out any potential physical benefits. NOFAP Sex to-day is increasingly disconnected from mating, and for many it has become a matter of “masturbating with someone else’s body.” Petite mort, translated from French, means “little death”, and is generally used as a euphemism for orgasm. Downside of releasing your seed: - You lose your drive and motivation (men do everything subconsciously to mate). - You lower your testosterone. - Leads to micronutrient deficiencies. - Fries your dopamine receptors. - You look at women as objects. - Your mind becomes lustfull. - You can’t concentrate. - You lose the ability to control your sexual energy. “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” - Hebrews 13:4 KJV In this study, on the 7th day, testosterone reached 145.7% of the baseline. Abstract of the study: "This study explores how ejaculation impacts testosterone levels in men. Researchers studied 28 volunteers, measuring their testosterone levels daily during periods of abstinence after ejaculation. They found that testosterone levels remained steady from the 2nd to the 5th day of abstinence but peaked on the 7th day, reaching 145.7% of the baseline. This peak didn't recur with continued abstinence. The study suggests that ejaculation triggers this periodic testosterone variation, with the peak occurring after 7 days. These findings reveal a link between ejaculation and testosterone level changes, highlighting a 7-day cycle in testosterone regulation following ejaculation."

Anyone know anywhere I can get non polyester swimwear. I use sauna and steam room and stuff like that a lot and just wondering if there is anywhere I can get a pair. Thanks

Can I grow a beard in four months. I don’t mean a full one but just grow a decent amount of facial hair. Want to grow one over summer before school starts back again, is this possible and what do I have to do?
