250 links to Pubmed about Nofap and related topics - NoFap-anon/NoFap_russian-manual GitHub Wiki

I have collected here all the posts from Nofap subreddit over the past 8 years that mention PubMed. All this was found through a search for the keyword "pubmed" on the subreddit itself.

A total of 184 posts were found that in one way or another mentioned this database of medical and biological publications.

Among these 184 posts, I identified 24 posts (smth like "signature articles"), the authors of which, in my opinion, wrote the most complete and interesting posts both in terms of the elaboration of the text of the post itself, and in terms of a selection of scientific studies that the author selected for confirmation their words and conclusions.

In these 184 posts, 370 links were found to scientific studies and posts in various media and blogs that touch upon certain topics that were of interest to nofapers: the nature of masturbation, porn addiction, sexual abstinence, semen reabsorption (semen retention if you would like), endocrine and neurophysiological processes in the body, which associated with masturbation and so on, drug addiction and so on (and so on, and so on sniff).

Of these 370 links, 269 linked directly to PubMed.

P.s. When you read below that this post touches on something related to Nofap, keep in mind that this is actually a study that in almost all cases studied not Nofap, but sex (sex with a partner or masturbation) and related with it hormonal and neurophysiological processes, the role of certain hormones in the life of humans and animals, which were experimented on, and so on.

P.p.s. It is especially "funny" that over the past 8 years, redditors have created, on average, 3-5 times new posts about the Chinese 7-day abstinence study or posts about the 3-week abstinence study, almost every year. And each time they wrote about it like about smth new, that is, they did not even realize that all these studies had already been found and studied many years ago. Organization of some F.A.Q. and just the information awareness of the average nofaper in the English-speaking community is at the same level as in the Russian-speaking one.
