Does precum get rid of your benefits?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Jan 17, 2018.

  1. Hi!

    I had precum today and was wondering if this gets rid of your benefits. I'm a bit concered.
     
  2. Im not male but i would have thought it's a natural and inevitable part of the process

  3. Sometimes, when I precum, for whatever reason, I feel like bad, not sure if placebo or not though

    Precum hasn't really had an effect on me. I think it's in your head.

    precum will lead to blue balls! As a part of semen is being released and the rest of it has been loaded in the testicles to be released. This creates a congestion of fluids in the testicles which causes pain. And the other thing is that it will create extremely powerful urges which could lead you to a full relapse. It is like you edged and then slipped from there but did not completely fall down. But it is very bad and i would recommend everyone to stop doing it just a little or just once quickly. This improper mindset leads to failure. Abstain from all of it to get the best results for yourself.
     
  6. So, precum makes us lose some semen and like @Vherenz just said, losing even more semen. So we fail at semen retention? Hmmm seems a little far fetched but possible

    What if you precum as a response to a real-life stimuli and not porn? That can't be a relapse, right?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can recover precum pretty fast.
    If you're full already, you lose like 1 to 5% of your sperm during a leakage, it's not really be a big deal.

    Being completely empty after O, that will slow the process for sure and take many days to recover, but a simple semen leakage should be recovered within' 24h in my opinion.

    Just know that if you stop fapping and stay away from pmo consistently you will infinitely produce more and retain more semen than you did when you pmo so pre cum isn't a set back in the grand scheme it just may trigger an urge but you just gotta ride the wave and know it will pass I get blue balls once in awhile but i just let it be and realize my body wants me to release but my mind and my inner self knows this is all apart of process things that use to trigger pre cum for me don't anymore except for maybe real life experiences

    I have a lot of leakage, and I would say that is not a problem itself, but you should reason on the causes of it. As for me, I was fantasizing too much.

    Anyway: pre-cum does NOT have any sperm. They are products of different glands, no contamination between them. It has sperm only if your urethra had some in it from a previous orgasm.

    One more thing, if You're precum is the result of any form of edging process then it's definetly affecting your recovery process. Otherwise in my opinion it must be okay if it occured naturally and you did not do anything which could lead to it. Thoughts are exceptions, they sometimes just pop up in our mind from nowhere and sometimes they come after we saw a triggering material somewhere. But after the occurence of such thoughts it is up to us to shift the focus of our minds to something else.

    So fantasizing for 5 seconds is edging? That sucks.
     
  14. This is inaccurate and misleading. You make a correlation of precum and blue balls, which is untrue. Furthermore, semen is not "loaded in the testicles". They produce sperm, whereas semen is produced elsewhere. "A congestions of fluids in he testicles" is misleading because your previous comments imply that semen is involved. In fact, the vasocongestion in the testicles causing pain relates only to an increase in blood pressure. Moreover, the release of precum will not "create extremely powerful urges which could lead you to a full relapse". Finally, you state that "It is like you edged and then slipped from there but did not completely fall down." Although edging can cause precum to be released, to say precum is like you edged is misleading. I am not wishing to argue @Vherenz, but it's important that we circulate accurate information.

  15. The issue here is not the precum per se. It is the reason why the precum occurred. Were you indulging in sexual imagery? If so, you may slow down the benefits you receive. But, more concerning is that this could become a temptation you cannot control and leads you to PMO. The battle is in the mind. Endeavour to keep it as sex-free as possible.

    Thank you for correcting me. I am still learning about the topic so I am glad to learn accurate information. But in my personal experience I had mild to sharp pain in my balls for a couple of hours the following day after I edged in my previous streaks. So it's just my life experience, i don't know what was going on with my body that time and whether the pain was caused by edging or something else. But in my case I have never had a precum without any form of stimulation. If anybody knows the reason to that I would be glad to know about it. I'm here to learn and recover. :)

    Nah man. Edging means what it means.
    Fantasazing often comes before the urge. It's way too hard to prevent to be considered as a relapse.

    Power is in the semen not precum. If you lose precum you will lose only uneccssary urges and desires which means it is good. Let the Precum goes out once in a month and that will help to retain semen as long as you want.

    Hi are you sure precum lead to blue balls?

    And plz confirm where you study that precum lead to blue balls?

    It is your individual think or medical explanation that precum lead blue balls?
