Understanding Testosterone and Dopamine in Male Productivity

Men must harness their testosterone and dopamine for motivation and productivity, avoiding distractions like porn and video games.

### Understanding the Impact of Pornography and Sexual Behavior on Male Psychology
* 💪 The HSB Nucleus training program is designed for **maximum muscle growth**, offering comprehensive workout splits and nutritional guidance drawn from **16 years of experience**.
* 📉 Engaging with pornography can lead to detrimental effects on male motivation and productivity, as it provides **immediate gratification** without the effort traditionally required to attain **sexual rewards**.
* 🚫 This ease of access to pleasure has contributed to a rise in **complacency among men**, leading to a culture of "**beta**" behaviors, where the drive for **self-improvement diminishes**.
* 🧠 Maintaining high levels of **dopamine and testosterone** is crucial for motivation and productivity, and excessive indulgence in pornography can disrupt these hormonal balances, resulting in **fatigue and lack of interest** in daily activities.
* 🔬 The interplay between dopamine and prolactin is significant; **high prolactin levels** can lead to **erectile dysfunction and decreased testosterone**, which are often assessed by doctors when diagnosing male sexual health issues.
* 📊 As a historical context, the drive for sex has been a **fundamental motivator** throughout human existence, influencing behaviors and societal structures, with successful hunters often having **greater access to mates**.
* 🎮 While many attribute issues to pornography alone, video games also play a significant role in **distracting from productive activities**, leading to a cycle of **low motivation and poor self-discipline**.
* 🏆 Ultimately, the key to **reclaiming motivation and drive** lies in establishing a **daily routine** and postponing immediate gratifications, such as sexual release, until after **accomplishing set goals**.

Hey guys, what's going on? Megan here. So, this is what happened when you bust a nut, right? Following up on a video from last week. First, your testosterone slightly goes up as you approach ejaculation. Same thing with your dopamine. Goes up, up, up. So, that's the pre-nut period. You're on alpha mode. You're motivated. You're ready to conquer the world. Once you beat your meat or even just have sex, boom. This is what happened post-nut, right? So, as soon as you start busting a nut, prolactin goes through the roof, and then your testosterone drops. Your dopamine drops. Your testosterone drops. You feel like [__]. You feel tired. You feel sleepy. You lose interest. You don't want to do [__] for the rest of the day, right? Or for the next 30 minutes, so however long your refractory period is. And it's crucial to understand that before we even talk about no fat. But anyway, guys, this is another episode of Sex Talk Saturday. You guys know on Saturday, we talk about anything sex.

related, and of course, the no-fap questions do not stop me again. Do a video on low-fat meat again. Do a video on those five, and I made videos on dopamine in the past, but I guess you guys want me to explain how I relate to the fat. So first things first, before we talk about nofap, let's talk about sex, right? Let's just keep it real, right, between us guys. Sex rules the goddamn world, all right? I don't want you to argue with me. I don't want you to ask questions. It's a fact. Sex makes the world go around. From pre-history to this day and age, everything organisms do is driven by the desire to have sex. Why do you think male lions fight each other for territory? Why? Territory gives you [ __ ]. Why do buffaloes fight during mating season? The winner usually claps the most buffalo cheeks. While the gorillas fight, once again, the winner is the one that has to hire him with all the females. Why do eagles fight?

same thing for territory. You have territory, you have food, you have food, you have better access to females, even [ __ ] ass bugs. Why do insects fight? Why do beetles fight, right? The winner, look, he's tossing that [ __ ] in the air just to be able to clap some beetle cheeks. Elephants, why do elephants fight, especially during mating season? The winner is the one that has access to the females. Muskox, even kangaroos, same thing. Look, he's kicking the [ __ ] out of this [ __ ]. Why again? The winner gets to have sex, dear. Same reason why their fight. The winner gets to have the most sex, even [ __ ] fish. Guys fight for territory and females. I could go on and on with almost every species out there, and humans are not any different. Almost every single thing we do, whether it's consciously or subconsciously, it eventually leads to sex. It's driven by a genetic desire, a biological desire to have sex, right? So let's not act as if

sex is this thing that's optional, and it's this taboo topic, whatever. No, you would never understand human psychology or human biology unless you look at it from the context of sex and why, why, why sex so important. Simple: to pass on your dreams to the next generation, right? If you do not have sex, if you're not driven to have sex, you don't pass on your genes, so your line ends. So, the simplest way to explain it is the organisms that were not honey, that were not driven by the desire to have sex, that were not driven by the desire to mate, were not willing to do dangerous [__] to have access to females, simply do not pass on their genes. It's that simple. That's why we're a bunch of honey [__]. It has nothing to do with culture; it's all biology. Even [__] [__] want to have sex, and even if they would never socialize or taught anything about it, right? So, that's the first thing we have.

to get out of the way right, you have to understand the importance of sex before we even talk about nofap. The second thing you have to understand is dopamine, obviously, right? You guys know I always say the two most important molecules to a man are testosterone and dopamine. And long story short, without making this video too long, dopamine is simply what motivates you to do [__], right? In layman's terms, I can go into the signs, but then again, the video is going to be way too long. In layman's simple terms, dopamine is what motivates you to do [__]. That's why when you drink coffee, why do you think you have a burst of energy, right? Coffee, specifically caffeine, blocks adenosine receptors, and one of the effects of that is it increases dopamine, right? You motivate it, you focus, you're more alert, right? It's the neurotransmitter that makes you ready to go out and do alpha [__], makes you ready to go hunt, makes you ready to go capture your prey.

whatever your goal is, obviously in the modern world, it's pretty much what makes you productive. Cocaine. How do you guys think cocaine works? Cocaine works by increasing dopamine, right? It's a dopamine agonist. So, when people take cocaine or even just pure crack, they exhibit the same effects, right? High alertness, high energy, high motivation. That's why Wall Street is loaded with investment bankers and stock brokers and just a bunch of dudes who just load up on cocaine, because it makes them superhuman. Why do you think crackheads have so much energy? Again, dopamine. Adderall. How do you guys think Adderall works? Again, dopamine pathway. Even math, which gives you the biggest spike in dopamine out of any other drug out there. It's all about dopamine, guys. Anything that has to do with focus, alertness, energy is through dopamine, alright? So, whenever you have a goal, dopamine is what makes you chase that goal. The lower your dopamine levels, the less motivated you're, the less alert you are.

the less focused you are, and of course, you guys know testosterone is simply what makes you want to do off the [ __ ] what makes you want to do dangerous [ __ ] right, so dopamine motivates you to just do [ __ ] just as well motivation to do dangerous things, high effort things, things that are risky. That's why when your testosterone levels go up, you're more willing to take risks. When your testosterone levels go down, you're less likely to take risks. So the two molecules work with each other. Dopamine increases testosterone, testosterone also increases dopamine. It's a huge chemical circle jerk right. So if you're a male, you have, I repeat, you have to understand these two molecules. There's no way around it. That's why if you look at any entrepreneur, any person who's a high-achieving male, you'll notice that they have high testosterone levels and they also have high dopamine levels. Back to this chart here, same thing in the animal kingdom. The reason why males fight during mating season is because that's

also the season when the testosterone levels are the highest and the dopamine was also the highest, right? So motivation to do [ __ ] motivation to do risky [ __ ] now back to this chart pre-nut, so that's before you have sex, so before you beat your meat. Notice your dopamine levels are high, your testosterone levels are high, right? So you're in alpha mode, you're ready to conquer the world, you're ready to just dominate your day, whatever the task or the goal of the day is, right? Once you bust your nut, everything drops, right? Your dopamine levels plummet, your testosterone levels also temporarily drop, but mainly your dopamine levels get crushed to the ground, and at the same time, your prolactin goes through the roof, right? [ __ ] This hormone here, prolactin, is pretty much what makes you satisfied. It's what makes you lazy. It's what makes you feel like you accomplished something, right? And then you pretty much just relax for the rest of the day. So in short, it makes

you lazy right, so you got to understand that those molecules are always opposite of each other. When your testosterone and your dopamine are high, your prolactin is low. When your prolactin is high, your testosterone and dopamine are low. That's why some doctors would actually check your prolactin levels whenever you're hypogonadal to try to figure out if you have low testosterone. That's the one that will actually check your prolactin levels. And that's also why if your prolactin levels are too high due to genetic conditions or constant masturbation, you actually end up with erectile dysfunction, right? A lot of doctors would actually track your prolactin first before they even check your testosterone levels. If you go there and say, Hey, I have erectile dysfunction, they say, All right, let's check your prolactin. And I already explained in the last video the reason why nature or evolution has created the system is because, I mean, can you imagine if people like them levels never went up after having sex? You're never gonna stop.

you're literally gonna just clap cheeks all day long because what's gonna make you satisfied, what's gonna make you feel like you accomplished, you just constantly have sex all day because let's be honest, what else feels better than sex. So, the reason why when people do nofap, they report high alertness, high energy, and they feel confident and all that is simply because of these molecules that dopamine levels stay up, the testosterone levels stay elevated, and that prolactin is low. And as long as the dopamine interstates are not elevated, guess what, you motivated to do alpha [__] and in nature doing alpha [__] like hunting, fighting, going to war, whatever is usually what results to you passing on your dreams, what results are you having sex, you understand guys, we were hunters and gatherers for 99.4 percent of our existence on this earth. We didn't become civilized until a few thousand years ago when we decided to build cities and we discovered agriculture and [__] right, but relative to how long we've been on

this earth is zero point six percent of accesses. That means we were hunters and gatherers for 99 of our existence. And if you study any hunter-gatherer tribe, no matter where it is in Africa, in Asia, wherever, you notice the same thing. The best hunter is usually the one that has access to the most females or tends to have the most kids. As a hunter and gatherer, you gotta prove yourself. You don't just become of age, you say, All right, I'm ready to have a wife. No, you gotta prove yourself, whether through combat or through being a really great hunter for the tribe. And what two molecules are gonna help you do this? Dopamine and testosterone. Hunting is a very risky endeavor. As you can see here, this guy lost his arm doing the hunt. Some people lose their lives, some people lose their eyes, right? So to be a hunter, you got to be maxed out on testosterone and maxed out on dopamine, right? I'll for [ __ ] in today's day and age. Obviously, we don't have to hunt and [ __ ].

but it's the same thing, right? We have to go out and do things. You have to create a business or be an entrepreneur or fight or whatever. You have to do things that are the equivalent of hunting in the wild. Example: being a boss, being your own, being an entrepreneur, being the leader of a sports team, being whatever. You know why do you think females gravitate towards those high-value males? Because it's the equivalent of pretty much hunting, right? A successful hunter today, the person who's successful at pretty much getting the prize, you know, which is in this money-driven world, money and things like that. And none of these are possible without those two molecules. In order to go out and hunt, you need dopamine to make you alert, to make you focus, to make you motivated, to give you energy. By the way, even adrenaline comes from dopamine. Most people don't even notice, you know, your body needs dopamine to make adrenaline, right? And of course, to go out and hunt, you need to stop strong because hunting is risky. Same thing in today's

day and age to start a business or to uh go into sports or to fight or whatever that's the risky endeavor and the problem with porn is it gives you the pleasure of sex without making you do alpha [ __ ] right because remember back in the hunter-gatherer days you actually had to do something to have sex so you actually became something great you became something better you became a better male in the process of chasing sex whereas with porn you're getting it for free just like that open your laptop type right and that's why men are weak these days man up betas men are simps subscribing to only fans and [ __ ] out of shape weak refuse to improve their lives why because what's the point if you if they're already getting the pleasure the reward without having to do office [ __ ] then what's the point right so that's our point is ruining the lives of so many men you constantly busting us throughout the day raising your prolactin levels

crushing your dopamine levels and your testosterone levels, but you're not doing any of the alpha [ __ ] that gets you that. So essentially, you're hacking the system, you're hacking the system, you're getting the spike because remember when prolactin goes up, serotonin also goes up, right? Which is what makes you feel confident and makes you feel like you're higher on a social ladder, right? So it's not necessarily bad to get that spike if you did something alpha to get it, right? If you did something epic to get it because you actually deserve it. The problem is when you get this spike without leveling up prior to that. So really, the conclusion here is that it's not that porn is essentially bad, it's not porn itself that's bad, it's the fact that you're not doing anything to earn that ejaculation, to earn that nut. You got to earn your nut. In fact, one thing I used to do years ago when I used to struggle with porn, when I used to struggle, and I mean I used to

beat my meat all the [__] time. One thing I used to do is I didn't just stop watching porn. No, no, no. Like trying to stop cold turkey is almost impossible, right? Because you're going to be successful at it for a while, and eventually, you're going to relapse and start over and feel bad. But no, what I did was I simply postponed my meat beat sessions to before bed. So I have my daily routine. You guys know I'm big on having a daily routine. I had my daily routine, and I wasn't allowed to beat my meat or watch porn unless I was done with completing my daily routine. So going to the gym, making my meals, going to school, you know, just doing [__] at the end of the day. I rewarded myself by either clapping cheeks with a booty call, them all my ex at the time, or beating my meat. Because it's not every time my guys went out that we actually came back with girls, right? Sometimes we just went out and came back with nothing, so

hey [ __ ] it beating my me tonight right but I made sure to never ever ever ever uh watch to beat my maid in the morning even today even to this day even with my girl I don't have sex in the morning because my polar thing goes up and then I don't want to do [ __ ] for the rest of the day so I have a strict rule you guys my girl I do not have sex in the morning because that [ __ ] [ __ ] me up for the rest of the day I wait till my daily routine is over so I accomplish my goals for the day and boom see you in the room tell me clap your treats so that's what I recommend to you guys first have a daily routine I have a goal right because what's the point of having your dopamine and your testosterone high if you're not going to be productive right so have a go have a daily routine and then you can either just do nofap right quite cold turkey or

you could just make sure that you postpone it to uh only at the end of the day when you completed your offer. All right, so hopes that answers all the questions I get about another five no five no five semen retention blah blah blah right. It's all about keeping your dopamine and your testosterone levels up and in the future. I'm gonna make another video about video games because really people think no fap is the issue. People think porn is the issue. No, video games are the issue and that's coming from somebody who used to be addicted to video games. Like there's a lot of guys that say oh I'm doing no five watch me I'm doing no five. Yeah and then they go and play video games for eight hours like what's the point. You're not being productive but that's a topic for a whole different video. Anyway comment below let me know what you guys want me to talk about in next Saturday's uh sex sucks Saturday.

WHY NOFAP & SEMEN RETENTION IS BULLSH*T - THE TRUTH ABOUT DOPAMINE, TESTOSTERONE & PROLACTIN

Team 3D Alpha

The Role of Territory and Mating in Animal Behavior

Animals, including insects, elephants, and kangaroos, fight for territory and access to females, with the winner gaining the most mating opportunities.

This genetic and biological desire for sex drives the behavior of almost every species, including humans.

The speaker shares their personal experience of managing urges through a daily routine and postponing gratification, emphasizing the universal influence of sex on behavior.

Sex is crucial for passing on genes and ensuring the continuation of a species.

Throughout human history, the best hunters often had access to the most females, driving the competition for mating.

Dopamine and testosterone play key roles in motivating risky behaviors and proving oneself as a successful hunter.

The Role of Dopamine in Productivity and Motivation

Dopamine is a key player in productivity, alertness, and motivation, with substances like cocaine and Adderall acting as dopamine agonists.

The spike in dopamine is essential for chasing goals, while low levels can lead to decreased motivation and energy.

The post-ejaculation drop in dopamine and testosterone can result in feelings of tiredness and loss of interest, highlighting the importance of earning the "nut" through meaningful actions.

The Role of Dopamine and Testosterone in Male Success

Dopamine and testosterone are crucial for male motivation and risk-taking, driving behaviors similar to hunting in the wild.

High levels of these molecules are common in successful entrepreneurs and high-achieving males.

The chemical interplay between dopamine and testosterone creates a cycle that promotes alertness, energy, and confidence, essential for taking risks and achieving goals.

The Impact of Morning Sex on Daily Productivity

The speaker has a strict rule of not having sex in the morning, as it disrupts their productivity for the day.

They emphasize the importance of having a daily routine and setting goals to be productive.

The relationship between testosterone, dopamine, and prolactin levels is discussed, highlighting how high prolactin levels can lead to erectile dysfunction.

Ultimate Muscle Growth Program and the Impact of Porn

The program offers full body workouts, nutrition guides, and meal plans for maximum muscle growth, condensed from 16 years of experience.

The speaker argues that porn undermines men's motivation to improve themselves, leading to weakness and complacency.

They plan to address the impact of video games on productivity in a future video.
