Let’s be honest; plenty of people claim (or joke) they’re going to take part in ‘No Nut November’, but it ends up being short-lived.

And that’s probably for the better, considering the number of experts raising their concerns.

But one man decided to go a whole year without masturbating, and revealed the surprising changes he noticed.

YouTuber Pierre Dalati claims he did ‘NoFap’ for a whole year.

And for those who have (luckily) never heard of this before, it can be interpreted in various ways, but usually means not masturbating over pornography.

In this case, the YouTuber decided to totally give up masturbation altogether.

Dalati says it’s not necessarily the actual ‘fapping’ that’s bad, but really the act of watching so much porn, because it gets you ‘used to an unrealistic approach’.

So, by giving that up, he found that his ‘mind was so much more clear’ and said: “I did notice a benefit of increased focus.

“So instead of constantly being distracted and having it [porn/masturbating] on my mind, I was able to put my full attention and energy into whether I was doing work… whether I was working out in a gym, whatever I was doing in the moment, my focus was enhanced.”

He also noticed a ‘confidence boost’, because he was living his life the way he ‘should be’ without having ‘extreme dopamine rushes every single day’.

“I felt so much more like myself and my approach to situations was so much more realistic,” Dalati explained.

He admitted he found the first two weeks of stopping the hardest, because he was ‘constantly getting the urge’ and his ‘drive was through the roof’.

After that, the benefits kicked in and he ‘settled down’.

Without masturbating everyday, the YouTuber felt like he had more energy and could be more productive.

He also experienced ‘increased mental clarity’, without getting off being constantly on his mind.

But while he certainly felt the benefits, he said he still thinks ‘fapping if done in moderation is fine’.

Now, Dalati reckons it’s better to just ‘listen to your body’ and do it only when you get ‘an urge’, rather than making a habit of every day.

He added that he didn’t measure his testosterone levels, so can’t really speak on that, but thinks it ‘maybe did’ increase his, because of how much more focused and stronger he felt working out.

“I think it’s definitely a good experience for everyone,” he said, adding: “It gives you a new perspective on a day-to-day basis and with the benefits of increased energy, mental clarity, increased productivity, you’ll find that you’re actually doing a lot more in your day.”
