New on pure, finding lot of profiles. People here--- is it genuine or fake most of them? are there girls really on this Sub who use Pure? any success stories on Pure?
Share overall opinions guysss... Guideeeeee.
Just putting this out there because I genuinely don't know if all of this is connected or if I'm overthinking it.
I've been masturbating since around 2016. For most of these 10 years, it's been a daily habit — usually once a day, sometimes twice.
Over the last ~2 years, I've noticed that my sexual drive has gone down quite a bit. Sometimes I don't even really feel like doing it, but I still end up masturbating because it has become such an automatic habit.
I also feel guilty and mentally foggy afterwards, and it doesn't feel as enjoyable as it used to.
More importantly, I've noticed changes during actual sex too. My libido isn't what it used to be, and I've sometimes had difficulty maintaining an erection. This is something I didn't struggle with to the same extent before.
I'm not sure whether masturbation/porn has anything to do with this. I don't want to automatically blame it, because my overall lifestyle has been pretty bad for years.
For the last ~6 years:
I joined the gym around 2023 and was consistent for almost a year. I felt much better physically during that period. Since 2024, I've become inconsistent again and my diet/sleep have also gone downhill.
I've also been dealing with other issues like hairfall and constantly looking/feeling tired, so I'm wondering whether there could be a bigger lifestyle or health factor behind all of this.
For guys who've been through something similar:
I'm not looking for extreme NoFap claims or "superpowers" 😅. Just genuine experiences from Indian men who have dealt with something similar.
I know I need to fix my lifestyle either way. I'm mainly trying to understand what might actually be contributing to this and where I should start.
I’ve been dealing with hair fall for almost 6 years now and it’s starting to really bother me.
Main issues:
Some history:
In 2020 I went through a lot of stress. In 2021 I had typhoid and then COVID a couple of months later. Hair fall became noticeable around this period and has continued since.
Lifestyle is honestly pretty bad: 😅
I sleep around 2–3 AM and wake up around noon. I eat a lot of junk food and sugar, don't exercise regularly anymore, and have been under constant stress for years. I'm vegetarian most of the time, with non-veg occasionally when eating outside. This has been going since 6 Years since that Covid piece of thing which disturbed me mentally.
I recently got blood work done:
I’ve recently started Vitamin D supplementation for 2 months.
I’m also seeing a dermatologist (the same doctor who treated my acne). Currently prescribed:
I’ve also used minoxidil previously. Chekfall-F - I've been inconsistent all the time with it.
One thing I’m unsure about: I’ve fapped regularly for 10+ years. Could this have anything to do with hair fall or lower libido, or is that unrelated?
What I’m mainly looking for:
What could be contributing to this much hair fall, and what should I focus on to prevent further recession/thinning and improve overall hair health?
I know my lifestyle needs fixing, and I’m working on that. Just looking for some practical guidance from people who have dealt with something similar. 🙏
If someone wants to be blunt , Please DM. I'm looking for honest guidance here!
