@Area-1255 I read somewhere that inositol decreases testosterone - have you seen this in your research?

I got mainly depersonalization, delirium, sweating, Anxiety/Fast Heart Peat, skin muscle spasms and weird sense of restlessness mixed with Anhedonia/Dysphoria. That was a long time ago on SSRI's though when I (stupidly) mixed them with an herbal anti-depressant supplement (St. John's Wort).

You mixed SSRI with SJW?

i am starting to think that fapping slows down my motility and food movement in my digestive system. Slow motility causes SIBO, and that might cause bloating.
Also when I am on nofap my mild constipation is cured.

This obviously would not happen to everyone that faps, I need to know why it's happening to me.

If you contract your pelvic muscle while masturbating this can cause issues with constipation. I had very bad constipation on beginning of PFS. My stomach was constantly protruding. My pelvic floor also felt like I could not relax it no matter what. I think this is connected.

I have read more people without PFS that NoFap fixed whole pelvic floor and constipation issue.

So just do NoFap. NoFap is great. I love it. I think it is very healthy for the mind too.

Yes I do contract my muscles and Idk how to stop doing that ! It just happens
My body is definitely not in proper alignment because I have flat feet. I need to look closer at pelvic floor therapy

I did therapy for it and it did not help me. But you can try.

For me time fixed it.

You mean you did nofap for a while and that fixed it?

NoFap helped a lot. Also Betaine HCl for stomach issue. Both these things got rid of bloating. So I am not sure if it was purely from pelvic floor muscle or just my stomach being fucked up. I think both. Because I also had problems after masturbating with bloating and uncomfortable feeling.

That's the thing, if I do nofap I will not know what's causing this reaction. I would rather figure it out than worry about bloating after every orgasm.

I am little different than you because whenever I take betain or anything acidic (I.e. Coffee) bloating gets a lot worse.

I am going to spend sometime on the POIS forums to see if they get bloating

I believe It's either the prolactin rise, or the slowed motility after orgasm that is causing this.

FYI I tested positive for h pylori in the past, I am not sure if the antibiotics took care of that.

Sounds alot like my symptom, Its related to the pelvic for me, I'm a porn addict and fap alot, the days I do it more often I bloat more (Face and ALL of the body)
I have to breath with my diaphragm otherwise the swelling happens aswell. Deep diaphragm breathing helps. I do get bloating if I eat too large portions of food aswell since
it puts pressure on my pelvic and makes it harder for me to take deep breaths, I dont have any farting or other tummy issues so Im guessing its not related to digestion eventhough I thought it did for a long time. Methylation problems leads to inflammation wich def could cause pelvic issues too. its a vicious cycle.

Release from genitalia = guilt = acidity = hole in stomach = bloating = endless void = no real sex = cry = die alone. Therefore Fapping is bad. Q.E.D.

the more and more i think about it, the more i think the pelvic floor muscles are wrecked or this whole issue is about muscle dysfunction. masturbation or orgasm always makes people worse. it makes people crash. it absolutely will wreck the tension on the pelvic floor, especially if you are edging.

i sometimes wonder if it's possible when the muscles are tense, it is causing stress in the body, and said stress leads to stomach acid to stop being produced. i read somewhere that stress leads to less digestive system working. it could be making food undigestable.

all the food sensitivities (like sugar, dairy, gluten, etc.) maybe is from that? i don't know.
