Lately, I find it helpful to just get out of bed and break up the mood. That helps. More recently, I also think of this forum and all the people struggling with me. That often makes the difference. I was thinking of another dimension today also: most of my fantasies are completely self centered and involve getting something (sexual) from someone. The fantasies have nothing to do with love or relationship, caring or connection. Not everyone, it goes without saying, has the same fantasies--but this helps me consider that I don't really want to do what I think I want to do! I remember having the insight that the reason I was thinking about a certain kind of sex all day, was because I watched those images for two hours the night before! It's a no brainer. The monster gets more powerful and more hungry every time I feed it... But I ramble. I find it helpful to remember how conscious I have been during longer periods of nofap.
from my experience having a mindset of using sexual energy just for reproducting purpose instead of pleasure helps tremendously. And after a while you become spiritual ,one level higher than usual . One gets feelings of satisfaction and euphoria in this state of body which have became spiritual which is far from any success in materialism regard. Maybe those sort of states of body and feelings that Rumi was in it.
