Guide Thoughts on this research? (Semen retention)

[Donsa]

Although sexual arousal has been shown to actually boost testosterone levels , ejaculation is different , after each ejaculation your prolactin levels skyrocket and frequent ejaculations have been linked to lower androgen receptors especially in the brain
Sexual behavior reduces hypothalamic androgen receptor immunoreactivity: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12689608/
Research indicates that prolactin increases following orgasm are involved in a feedback loop that serves to decrease arousal through inhibitory central dopaminergic and probably peripheral processes .
On the seventh of semen retention day studies show an increase in T

Ideally you want to ejaculate every 8-9 days without watching porn. Masturbation or sexual intercourse alone will only rise T levels .

Sounds questionable. Everyone knows that the more you look at porn the more you get aroused at porn. If it decreased arousal so much, why do people look at porn everyday 24/7?

The chart looks questionable also, how did they get that data? Seems bizarre that spike would occur after exactly 7 days.

maybe some blood tests through the timeline

why do people look at porn everyday 24/7?

coz of dopamine addiction , your dopamine receptors will only want to be stimulated more each time , that's why porn is bad

coz of dopamine addiction

doesn't seem the same. the only thing that actually decreases arousal are blackpill sermons and having a sad lonely life IRL. People that watch porn 24/7 do not get less arousal from watching porn lol they get boners from porns. if watching porn reduces arousal, its probably a miniscule amount like 0.05% or something.

i gave the reason for the addiction , not the effect

yeah bro but thery start to find the ''normie porn'' (big boobs, milfs etc) boring, not arousing and they start to develop weird fetishes. For example, someone could be firstly attracted to ameature normal porn or even pictures but after a time peried they develop weird fetishes like foot fetishes, anal, fisting and it keeps getting worse and worse till it becomes tranny porn and even worse for some people. Porn is evil, get away from it.

Just seems like normal sexuality, chemicals are not needed to explain it.

For example, if you play a videogame you will get bored of it and turn to other videogames to replace it. This is just normal human phenomenon and chemicals are not needed to explain it. It could even have a non-chemical explanation, perhaps it is just because the brain isn't learning anything so it seeks to learn new things.

Also, porn can have the opposite effect of what you say. For instance, before I watched any porn I would masturbate only to lesbians or tranny fantasies, then after watching porn a lot I got bored of lesbian porn and went to watch heterosexual porn. I did not fap to the heterosexual porn, but I would have if they put chads or attractive males in the porns, but it seems like most porns do not put any attractive males inside the porns.

This confirms a theory i have heard, that porn effects sexuality.
