The Developed Man

Dopamine fasting, the cure-all

Dopamine fasting is hands down the best way to overcome your procrastination and motivation problems I often say people don't have a motivation problem they have a dopamine problem. In its most simplest terms **dopamine fasting = boredom = deep insights X creativity = action = the cure-all to all of your problems. Dopamine fasting, nofap, nosurf and delayed gratification is the key to everything.

Why Nofap Works So Well

Today I will attempt to answer the question Why nofap works Why have you never actually heard anything negative about nofap from people who have completed at least the 90days challenge? Why is it always something profoundly positive to the point where it sounds too good to be true? I’ve tried everything in the realm of self development and bio hacks, from fasting to meditation and even ketogenic dieting to increase my mental abilities and increase motivation and productivity. Although the 50+ things that I’ve tried in my life to better myself in one way or another NOTHING and I mean NOTHING even comes close to the results Ive gotten from the extended hardmode streaks. Today I will try to explain WHY nofap seems to work so well for the 99% of the population and you will be hard pressed to find anybody speak negatively of the benefits of Nofap Hardmode. To understand this you have to understand 2 things, our evolution as men and instant gratification through stimulants Evolution: Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioural traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years. Now if you make a timeline starting 6 million years ago and stretch it until today you will see how the technological revolution has consisted of such a small part of our timeline that it would represent no more than a single strand of hair. Yet everyday we over expose ourselves to these ultra stimulants that our body is simply not evolved to handle ( this is I believe where suffering and depression come in). To make a long story short our technology has advanced so quickly and our DNA is just not built to handle this much of artificial stimulation. This reaks havoc on all parts of our psychology as well as physiology, for example the deregulation of dopamine & androgen receptors. This has a domino effect on all of our hormones and neurotransmitters. As humans we have evolved with 2 soul purposes in life, the first being to stay alive (think food & comfort zones) and the 2nd is to reproduce (think sex & in modern times masturbation). This is one thing we can all agree upon without debate, the problem lies with our technological advancements and how we have developed a way to trick our brains into thinking that we have desirable traits even though we have done nothing to attain these traits and simply reinforce this belief through PMO (porn masturbation and orgasm). Every time we orgasm we send a signal to our brains that everything is a-ok and that we are desirable males even if in fact our true self is a mess. Our brains can’t send the motivation and drive needed to turn ourselves into desirable mates if it believes we already are desirable. This is why one of the biggest and most popularly reported benefits of nofap is an explosion of motivation. Stimulants: Now on the topic of stimulants, what most people think of as stimulants is usually caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, sexual activity, social media, sugar and drugs but what most don’t realize is that stimulants include things such as arguing and the winning of arguments, competitiveness and winning in sport or game AND WE CANT FORGET love which maybe one of our biggest stimulants in life. Also things such as laughing or having a deep conversation about a topic you are passionate about with another person maybe very stimulating. Food maybe one of our strongest stimulants as it fulfills one of our 2 main drives in life which is to keep ourselves alive. This maybe why fasting gives similar but not as intense benefits as Nofap (more on this in a different video). Our brain rewards us with all sorts of neurological and hormonal rewards for eating just like with sexual activity because it see’s that we are fulfilling one of our 2 key driving factors. What is interesting is what happens when we avoid these stimulants for periods of time. The brain begins to go into a state of panic and begins to clear our brai

Introduction into "The Developed Man"

In this podcast I describe what topics we will be discussing in coming episodes. It will revolve mostly around self development & self improvement for men. With a strong foundation in Nofap.
