Almost 2 years being on nofap and retention. I feel like a newborn baby I didn’t forget about the past few years of my life, but it feels like I’m born again. My advice for everyone is do not count your days and do not think about the topic nofap too much because the more you count your days the more you’re going to subconsciously put a day where you just decide to relax subconsciously just keep working on yourself and be your one hundred percent best version of yourself don’t count the days it’s all the ego and that’s where the downfall comes from our egos everyone is on a different journey. Some of us are just starting some of us been doing this for a while. But this is normal completely normal act like you’ve never been here before.

Very important message. And that state of being "bathed in dopamine" as you describe is also going on when we are scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. Not saying social media needs to be erased 100%. There are powerful benefits to learning through it and connect with like-minded people. But scrolling needs to be cut out. Instead, always stay in control, search actively, and actively take notes when watching smth. Don't just passively consume, consume, conscume. Good message as always Scandinavian Bob!

Gooning is one of the worst things you can do with nofap. Once you spend enough time edging you are bound to “relapse/release” I’ve done it for hours at a time once, and when I relapsed after my mind is just wrecked for quite some time. It takes some time to get back to normal after one relapse if you do this. So yes, I would consider it a relapse

Edging is definitely the biggest gateway to relapse. It starts with you laying in bed scrolling thru social media, you see something that arouses you then here comes the edging. Mind convinces you its okay to relapse just one more time, you do it and feel like crap immediately after 🤦🏽‍♂️💯

@jesuschristlookslikeme522 3 ай бұрын

but still what about edging without porn or sex without ejaculating?

@ScandinavianBob 3 ай бұрын

Sex without ejaculating is not a problem. In fact, for some people it can speed up one part of the rebooting process (the rewiring to real life people part). Edging without porn (only mastur**tion) is generally not a problem for a person who is not addicted PMO, because it's hard to override your natural satiation mechanism without the aid of supernormal stimuli, (e.g. online porn), but it CAN still be problematic for SOME people who are tying to overcome a PMO addiction (not everyone, though, it depends on the person). If having the slightest problem with too much po*n or even just masturb**n, then I would recommend against edging even without po*n. Because think about it; why would we even want to edge like this in the first please? All it does is leaving us frustrated because we WANT to bust, but we didn't get to. And so we can't really let the thought of that go for the rest of the day. And it is exactly those compulsive behaviors that we want to get rid of (if we are the slightest addicted to PMO). And if we constantly keep edging then how could we truly ever stop being obsessed?

How about mindful edging ? exploring own body

@ScandinavianBob Күн бұрын

Without p**n, it can be a healthy thing to touch oneself mindfully, especially when trying to rewire the brain back to respond to real touch, rather than to pixels on a screen. But there's no need to bring yourself close to "the edge" for that, although you CAN if you want to. But early on in the recovery I would avoid going too close to the edge, as the brain really need the rest from highly arousing stuff.

@WarriorV8 Күн бұрын

@@ScandinavianBob Surely without any porn or visual stimulation . I have the habit of having having a mindful edging (obtaining a hard erection) before a cold shower every morning and it boosts me up for the rest of the day , it feels great but it’s also not to a level of closing to the edge . It’s just stimulation via touch instead of visual stimulation frying my brain off . I’m 26 and been on PMO since i was 10 . Alot to heal and recover for sure but i know my mindset is in a better place now . Thanks a ton bob

Hey Bob ! Im porn and masturbation free 8 months and in meantime practice semen retention but my question is everytime i have sex during this period i get same and maybe stronger withdrawal symptoms, why is that ? Sex with real woman supposed to be natural is it a relapse please i need help

@ScandinavianBob 3 ай бұрын

It can happen, because the brain is still associating porn with orgasm (or even arousal with porn) , and so it kicks in the "B" process in the "Richard Solomon's opponent process theory of emotions", which is characterized by flatline or withdrawals. It's not because you are doing anything wrong. Your brain just needs a few more times experiencing how an orgasm is happening in a normal, natural situation. And eventually it will stop kicking in the "B" process (i.e. the flatline) as it sees that porn is no longer there. Just keep doing what you're doing, rewiring with a real person, and keep staying away form porn. Your brain will eventually stop giving you withdrawals after real sex.

Getting boners just from thinking about reals sex is actually a very good sign. Don't worry so much about your thoughts. It's normal. Just as long as you don't try to recreate some specific porn scene in your mind you're ok. Because that can reactivate the old porn pathways. Real = good. Artificial = bad.
