So I know a lot of us masturbate or have sex. So i stumbled upon reddit “nofap” subreddit and found a long post of one schziophrenic. He described how stopping masturbatinf and having sex completely improved his negative symptoms dramatically. He described his negatives as laying on a couch whole day and doing nothing. In about 60 days of no orgasms he started doing everything as he wod be healthy, started learning neą languages, learn programming and even lost 10kg in 2 months. I dont know about you guys, but im hopping into this train to see whats the fuss about it

But does it work when you’re taking antipsychotics? If you are?
Retention of semen creates problems of its own. If you are not taking meds it can make you go psychotic.
This is one of reasons I think men have nocturnal emissions when they don’t ejaculate for many days.
Nocturnal emissions are normal. What is not normal is masturbation and watching porn. Masturbation and porn really messes with dopamine and get desensitized to almost everything. There are plenty guys on “nofap” tgat experiences similar symptoms to our negative symptons and stopping it gave their motivation back.
When did I say nocturnal emissions are bad?
Whatever helps you!
I dont understand this forum, almost daily someone complains of negatives, I offer a solution and thread dies after 1 reply
I don’t masturbate. I haven’t in years and years. Sorry about your thread dying.
Orgasming in general?
I haven’t had an orgasm since I started taking aps
Masturbation is a natural antidepressant!

It destabilizes hormonal system
I get depressed if I don’t masturbate for a long time.
Those are called withdrawals
Your Dr told you that?
Make sure solutions you provide are experimentally and rigorously tested before and don’t have troubling effects.
There is nothing wrong with nofap. What I have read and watched from youtubers and activists and experts say it helps with is porn induced sexual dysfunctions. It decreases preoccupation with sex. I am skeptical of superpowers.
If you have psychosis I would suggest to stay away from semen retention inducing practices.
Check out videos by Gabe Deem of The Reboot Nation and Noah B E Church. There are several other youtubers posting vids about nofap and pornfree in general. Gabe and Noah are one of early ones.
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet, especially Reddit!

Btw I masturbated more when I didn’t have sz or negative symptoms, I had more energy and had sex with my gf.
Its the internet says that porn and masturbation is good on vaguely promoting prostate cancer research. Porn has never been so accessible since the last decade so i dont think theres much of research done. But 90k condemning porn and masturbation has to count to something

I used to watch porn with my friend. He’s now a Dr, cardiologist and have a gf. I am stuck with sz. It sucks.
Give it a try and see how you feel. It seems like a valid option. You don’t need to convince other people.

Maybe he rarely watches porn or masturbates, for example some people might get PSSD with doing mdma while othrrs can droo it like lollypops and feel no permanent effects
