Prolactin increase, zinc depletion.....more or less loss of energy and onset of fatigue (and that's for a person who's normal). I noticed that during my recovery I could guarantee myself to feel like shit the next day if I fapped. As I recovered more and more, that eventually fell off, along with the ability to drink alcohol without "crashing".
I wouldn't masturbate at all anyway. I don't now either being back to normal - it kills motivation and is a really shitty habit in general.

Pre PFS, definitely worse with girls when not nofapping, definitely less confident. BUt this doesn't happen to ev1.
I'm prone to anxiety and such but more confident on nofap.
Also at other times I'm super confident but negative and very disinterested in people, but only really goals and business or school, or whatever I'm focusing on.
Probably makes brain fog worse a bit.
With PFS.
It may make my ADHD/+++ worse; but those tend to make everything worse anyways, so who knows.
I resolved/cured PSSD. I am sure it'd have been quicker with nofap (learned about nf a couple yrs later). Feel happier with pssd without it, with PFS without it, and in general without PMO.
But I know guys that claim it barely affects them. Prolactin and zinc are definite issues, as Walker said. Also I think there are lots of threads on this. Or maybe not directly related. I was gonna start one previously.
It's a bad habit just like internet addiction or substance abuse. Bad for intimacy and self confidence, and self-efficiency I find.
Hard habit to break for sure.

Ry working in only open spaces. And go for walks, lift, spend time with friends, travel instead, cut off internet (hard), at times, block all adult sites and Twitter, fb, social media if need be. Even stricter would be installing k9 and having it email a friend if you visit a restricted site.
It definitely kills motivation, I can workout without sleeping and work wo sleeping wo Fapping. That's my normal motivation (dangerous, but you get my point). Makes me hate people more, fine depending on your job and what kind of people you deal with, bad for relnships.
Also shrinkage, less satisfaction, not good for nervous system health maybe (it's been a long time since I read "Your Brain on Porn", the reddit for nofap has a lot of good info (some of it bs for sure, some very good info though). It has to help, as I thought it was normal, my sort of suppressed sex drive at 21 (Effexor), then it was really high later 23 and 24 on, besides finasteride, EXCEPT when fapping all the time. AND real sex wasn't so great. Whereas waiting 45-60 (and more I'm sure days), was way better. As I quit fapping, before and during mid 20's for longer periods, things got better. It's all been said here before. MOST will tell you it's a bad habit. I think it's doubly bad if you're prone to addiction, shy, have any neuropsyche issues. But it probably won't kill someone. It may kill their soul though.
