First of all, this post is geared toward "adrenal fatigue," but it may have an impact on the hpa-axis even if there are more issues.
All of the reports, and there's 10's of thousands of them online ( https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/2r024e/18_weeks_of_no_pmo_what_its_like/ ) if you search, are anecdotal. Infact, "science" disagrees with this phenomena. I however have experienced it first hand. It's not a cure for anything, but it seems to help allot with allowing the HPA-axis to work better.
There are many theories for this:
I'm not sure what the correct answer is, but the behavior itself is ubiquitous, and at the same time taboo. Also, I think the no-PMO is mainly focused on males. I'm not sure how it related to females. With that being said, I think it's the single most important thing to make my brain work better, and reduce symptoms than anything else.

There are many theories for this:
- Zinc deficiency corrected
- Cortisol levels normalized
- Dopamine issues in brain corrected
- Testosterone levels normalized
