How Many Days Without Masturbating Does It Take To Give You ‘Superpowers’?

Groom your ball sack and clean out your pipes – that seems to be your Thursday night routine in preparation for a sex-filled weekend. But you might be doing yourself a massive disservice if you’re still having a late-night tug. In fact, giving up your favourite hobby might even give you ‘superpowers’, says one Reddit user.

Labelled the ‘NoFap movement’, an online community has banded together to give up your much-loved pastime. One highly disciplined member, Brohit, took up the challenge for 700 days – an experiment that he claims completely changed his life.

After two-and-a-half years as master of his domain, his “ mind felt a lot clearer and I was at peace more often,” Brohit reports.

“Yes I was able to feel those things you call ‘superpowers’ too – sudden increase in confidence, laser-sharp focus, more attention from women, easier to find sex, energy boosts,” Brohit told a group of over 200,000 subscribers.

The ‘NoFap movement’ was founded after a Chinese study found that refraining from buttering the corn for seven days caused men to experience a 45 per cent boost in testosterone levels.

If you want an even crazier story, this man went 10 years without masturbating and said it was the best decision he’d ever made.
