A lot of people who do nofap or are thinking about doing nofap wonder whether nofap can increase their muscle mass or not. In this article, we’re gonna discuss exactly that.
Yes, NoFap can increase your muscle mass. Some people notice their muscle growing on nofap without working out, but those people are rare and that muscle growth is minimal. To truly notice the change, you’d need to exercise regularly and take a good diet. Not only that, but your performance in the gym also improves on nofap, which also explains the increase in muscle growth.
Does NoFap Improve Your Performance in the Gym?
Yes, Nofap improves your performance in the gym.
You’d be more motivated to go to the gym and will have more energy while working out. You’ll notice that you’re able to lift heavier weights than before and your stamina will also increase. This also explains the increase in muscle growth that you experience on nofap.
I asked this question to people on my nofap Instagram page(@the_fapstronaut). Let’s look at what they say.
84% of people said that their performance in the gym improved on nofap, while 16% said it didn’t.
Your improved performance in the gym is one of the reasons behind the increase in muscle mass. When you lift heavier, you’ll definitely notice an increase in muscle growth than before.
Porn and masturbation take away your motivation and energy. When you indulge in PMO(Porn, masturbation, orgasm) regularly, you’ll notice that you are not motivated to hit the gym regularly, and you’ll feel tired most of the time.

Reason Behind Increase in Muscle Mass on NoFap
There are mainly 2 reasons behind the increase in muscle mass on nofap:-
- Improved performance in the gym
- Preserving nutrients by preserving semen
1. Improved Performance in the gym
As I’ve already shown that 84% of people experienced improved performance in the gym on nofap. You’ll be much more motivated to hit the gym regularly, and you’ll be much more energetic in the gym on nofap.
You’ll be able to lift heavier weights and work out longer than before. All these factors definitely contribute to an increase in muscle mass.
You’ll also be able to recover faster on nofap. Also, your testosterone levels will increase on nofap and you’ll be able to lose fat faster.
2. Preserving Nutrients by Preserving Semen
Semen contains a lot of nutrients like vitamin C, B12, ascorbic acid, calcium, citric acid, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, fat, and protein [Source]. When you ejaculate, you’re wasting these nutrients.
Athletes(boxers, fighters, etc.) don’t ejaculate or indulge in any form of sexual activity weeks before their fight for the same reason. They want to preserve their energy for the fight.
When you do nofap, you preserve all these nutrients. Your semen contains protein also, which is necessary for your muscle growth. That’s why people are advised to increase their protein intake when they start exercising. When you do nofap, all that protein helps you in muscle growth.
How Long Before You Experience Increased Muscle Mass on NoFap?
How long it will take to experience increased muscle mass on nofap depends on the individual. Some people might experience it sooner than others.
But as a general rule of thumb, you’ll start experiencing increased muscle mass after a month of successfully doing nofap and working out regularly.
It’s important that you exercise regularly to get the maximum benefits from nofap. Do nofap for 30 days in addition to exercising regularly and taking a good diet, you’ll notice that you’re able to gain muscle much faster than you would have if you didn’t do nofap.
Exercising will also transmute your sexual energy. Without exercise, the urges will become too much to handle and your chances of relapsing will increase. You must include exercise in your daily routine if you wish to make nofap your lifestyle.
Will You Experience Increased Muscle Mass Even if You Don’t Workout?
Some people experience increased muscle mass on nofap without working out and some don’t.
It’s not a smart strategy to depend only on nofap for muscle growth and not workout. You should workout regularly if you want to gain muscles or build a good physique.
Exercising will not only help you get more muscles but it will also transmute your sexual energy. When you do nofap, you preserve your sexual energy and you must transmute that sexual energy into something positive, otherwise, the urges will become too much to handle. Urges are nothing but built-up sexual energy.
