Coffee: yes or no?

Do you drink coffee?

I do not at the moment.

Benefits of not drinking coffee for me is less anxiety, higher libido and easy to fall asleep.

Benefits of drinking: more social, more creative and motivated, you can choose when you want to be motivated, helps with working out

I cycle coffee. So sometimes I take break for 2-3 months and then use it for a month or 2 months in good amounts.

Not really, only drink it when i really need it.
The only benefits i get from coffee is that im less sleepy, no energy boost or anything just less sleepy.

Coffee has a lot of benefits - it's a very good source of antioxidants, also contains a lot of flavonoids which reduce the risk of chronic disease, and it's good source of the mineral chromium which helps balance blood sugar and lower LDL cholesterol.

I think the fact that it's often suggested for use, and is supposed to be very effective. as an enema, says a lot really.

Anxiety is worse if I drink too much, but just one cup of black coffee per day seems ok, and I generally feel good for it, maybe as it also boosts dopamine.

I do enjoy the taste, so use instant decaf in shakes sometimes, or a hot decaf coffee on a cold morning. I have done low dose caffeine and high dose, just doesn't give me any benefits.

Coffee causes POIS in about 70% of POIS sufferers. Since in most PFS people. allopregnenolone does not work as it is, so there is no proper stress response, and coffee make that worse for some people.

gaba is not working, body cant take stress in some cases of PFS.

I saw guy on NoFap long time ago he told me his libido would be lower when he would drink a lot of caffeine.

NoFap also made caffeine effect better. If he would masturbate and drink caffeine day after he would not notice benefits from caffeine.

Only when he would not masturbate and drink caffeine it would give him pro-social effect. But his libido would suffer. He would not think about sex at all he told me.

He thought caffeine converted sexual energy into other energies like motivation and social.

-Nofap can be good.
-But* Most Nofappers are wackadoos.

-I mean I drank coffee as a kid (sort of). -Some do great on stims (lifesaver), some (probably *many*) need not to take them. I'm in the first category.
-No coffee today, and I got work done 4hrs late.
-JK, I mean 16-29hours late. It will be 6-10am by that time.
-Even So: ANY STIMULANT MUST BE RESPECTED!!! THEY ARE A SERIOUS CLASS OF DRUGS.

Coffee was a great lifesaver for me for about a good 10 months. Minus the sexual aspect of PFS, i felt like my PFS was completely cured at times just from a good cup of coffee. If i cut it off before 2pm. But it stopped working for me. Ive become immune to it. I would have to go 14+ days without for it to hopefully start working again for me. and even then, id have to cycle it.
