Sleep naked: good or bad for NoFap? "my" story

what exactly is the benefit you see from sleeping naked? would be great if you could give some sources to that aswell. and youre very right, sleeping naked is pretty dangerous when it comes to nofap, because we so highly sexualize even our own naked bodies. the only reason i see for sleeping naked is if its hot or if you just had sex. otherwise for many it will simply be a trigger, jist like for you. and even if you dont masturbate, guys, would you rather have to change your underwear/pants due to a wet dream, or all of your sheets?

 

I sleep naked. But I started to do it before NoFap. I'm not sure if this should be necessarily a goal through quitting PMO.

For me, I do it because I'm working on changing my self image. Before, thinking in my body and my member, took me directly to a sex directed context. To be prepared for sex. Sex necessarily connected with my body functions.

And as I used to have sex separate from the "real" me, to get it hidden, that was the perfect context to go through porn and compulsive sexual behavior.

Now I'm working to join my sexual and my non-sexual dimension. Which brings me to re-construct the ideas about my body, about my member, as me as a male. And to separate it from the stereotype brought from porn that nakedness, my body and my member necessarily takes to sex.

From that, for me, sleeping naked has been an exercise to be with me. With me as a body and as a mind. To feel comfortable being with me. And to re-build my thoughts in which my body now is part of the real, the actual me. Not part anymore of that hidden world of porn consumption and compulsive sexual behavior.

 

I sleep naked and I recommend it. But when we get an erection, the obvious question arises (lol) what happens then? In fact, I find that this is where sleeping without clothes pays off. When dressed in bed, an erection causes unnecessary pressure on your swollen and sensitive sex organ. I find it beneficial for it not to be in friction with underpants etc. When I am naked, my dick can stiffen and soften wherever and whenever it wants to. This is a personal choice, but don't knock it if you haven't tried it. I do not agree that simply because you are nude in bed, you will masturbate and/or watch porn. It is also better for testicle health and fertility.

 

No idea about the health related effects. But sleeping naked causes wet dreams, which makes it significantly harder to stay strong the next day, especially for beginners. And whatever benefits of semin retention may exist, you now you'll have to recharge.
I used to almost sleep naked before discovering NoFap.
Constant PMO causes your scrotum to sweat a lot, but no PMO reduces sperm production and therefore cools down so you don't wake up with sweaty balls. So sleeping clothed on no PMO will be more comfortable and hygienic than before you started.
That's my two cents, but in any case feel no shame for sleeping naked.

 

There are no downsides to sleeping naked, only upsides. Sleeping clothed on the other hand offers no upsides, just possible downsides.

The most important bit is better thermal regulation and lower testicle temperature, which is healthy. If you have kids or whatever, you can sleep with a VERY loose pair of shorts and just that.

 

Personally, I don't sleep naked for three reasons:
First, it also creates urges for me. These might subside when I'd get used to it, but I'd have to get used to it first, then.
Second, I go to the bathroom at least a couple of times every night, and I want this to be as easy as possible. I wouldn't want to be in a shared space naked (I rent a room in a house with 3 other renters, 2 owners and the owners' grandson), and it seems like a chore to dress and undress twice a night.
Third, I actually don't find it comfortable. I tend to turn a lot, and without underpants... well, I won't describe the physical details, but I don't like the positions my sexual organs end up in.
I do sleep without pyjamas, though, unless I've relapsed. I think that this lets my body regulate its warmth better, resulting in a warmer body temperature in winter and a cooler body temperature in summer.

Why? I've never heard of this.

 

This is a myth.

 

I don’t really like to be naked, I walk around the house in my underwear all the time and sleep in my underwear.... But having everything out and bouncing around is uncomfortable, even when I’m alone. I need some support.

 

sleep naked seem so disturbing lol, one wet dream will ruin my bed and my sheet on it haha

plus, its rainy season and some bug or something like centipede often came into the room lol

 

Hey buddy, I am pleased you discovered that you can get naked to go to bed and this does not mean that you will simply start masturbating and watch porn. Personally, I find it feels better and I sleep better. I don't get dressed to go to bed!

If you experience urges in bed, it is not because you are nude. Urges can happen of we are clothed or unclothed. Enjoy the benefits of naked sleep and deal with temptation when it comes, just the same as you would anyway. Good luck buddy.

 

it is up to you, if sleeping naked affect your PMO streak, then dont do it. It is that simple

 

I need to add to this discussion that if you’re dealing with PIED, as me, sleeping naked gives you more chance to monitor how your erections are going. It’s very encouraging to wake up during the night realizing I’m getting better. When I use a short to sleep, this is not so easy to feel.
