It's real. I remember this one day clear as hell. I was walking by this one girl, our eyes locked, I was maybe 27 days into NoFap/SemenRetention, and her pupils dilated immediately and she smiled like I was the pope blessing her or something. Literally in the next three days she made a tiktok about a cute guy at work (me) and other female coworkers were like "Oh, I know who you're talking about!!!" shyt was surreal. I still shake my head about it.
About 3 months later I was in rut and breaking my streak every 3-4 days and the girl asked me "What's wrong?" like she felt my energy was off. It was like she used to get high just being near me, and suddenly the drug was unavailable and she was confused.
I challenge y'all to try NoFap and monitor your eyes in the mirror over the weeks. You bust 8 nuts and wake up and look in the mirror, you look weak and lifeless. You go like 10 days, and there's a light in your eyes; shyt starts to look like glass.
