What Happens When You STOP Masturbating Forever

ByLucky Updated on

Masturbation is often considered normal and even healthy.

But what if you never did it again?

Whether due to personal beliefs, religion,

or simply a lack of interest, some people go their entire lives without it.

Here is how stopping completely impacts your body, mind,

and relationships.

1. Your Body Will Notice

Masturbation is often seen as a mental act,

but your body is involved, too.

If you stop, your body will respond in its own way.

  • For Men: Sperm doesn’t hang around forever. Most of the time, the body reabsorbs it, but sometimes it takes the “express route” via wet dreams. This is biology’s way of handling business if you won’t.
  • For Women: The effects are less obvious, but stopping can lead to slightly more pelvic tension, moodiness, or feeling “on edge” due to reduced blood flow to the pelvic region.

2. Your Brain Might Change (For Better or Worse)

Masturbation gives your brain a hit of dopamine—the feel-good chemical.

Skipping it affects your brain chemistry.

  • The Upside: Taking a break can boost focus, motivation, and self-control. One study found that after a week without it, men had a spike in testosterone, leading to a short-term boost in energy and confidence.

3. Your Relationships Could Be Affected

Does stopping make you more present or just make things awkward?

It depends.

  • The Positive: Some people feel that avoiding self-pleasure helps them focus all their energy on their partner, making intimacy feel more intense.

4. Increased Willpower vs. Increased Frustration

One of the big promises of movements like “NoFap”

is that it turns you into a focused, disciplined powerhouse.

  • The Claim: Many people report feeling more energized, confident, and better at impulse control.
  • The Reality: The science is mixed. While self-control is great, trying too hard to suppress sexual thoughts can backfire, causing you to obsess over them even more. You don’t necessarily have to swear off pleasure completely to build discipline.

5. Your Perspective on Sex Might Change

Going without masturbation can shift how you view sex

and intimacy over time.

  • For some, it sparks a deeper appreciation for emotional bonds.
  • For others, it can lead to frustration or guilt, as if their natural desires suddenly feel out of place.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the impact depends on why you choose to stop.

If it is a mindful decision rooted in self-discipline or personal growth,

it can be a positive experience.

But if it is due to shame or fear, it may lead to negative emotions.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

What matters most is understanding your own body, mind,

and personal values.

    2. You do not have full control over your body. You do what your body wants. The only possible way to regain control is through the brain. The brain has the capabilities to feel excited whenever you do things (Release dopamine) that make it more relaxed. The brain remembers what you did and asks for more. Over time, it starts to overcome you. How to stop it? Stop feeding your brain. Engage in other activities that help your brain feel relaxed. Stop porn, stop sexualizing woman. Be disciplined, focused, and you will be unstoppable. Get full control of yourself today and watch things go from 0 to 100 in your life. Currently, you’re locked in a prison, feeling guilty, devastated, and uncontrolled and who kept you there? The brain. Find your way out now!
