    Any issues with urination in your NoFap challenge? I am having problems with starting (waiting 10-15 seconds for the urine to start flowing and trouble emptying my bladder. I have been getting up in the middle of the night to pee and having to go more often. I don;t want to worry about prostate issues if in case this is a normal side effect of going from constant PMO to hard reset. BTW I am 39 and in otherwise good shape. My father has had some prostate issues but just large, not cancer.
    Thanks.

    No problems for me, but I have sex regularly, so I wouldn't know. I hope all will be ok with you -- but what you don't want to do is use this as an excuse to masturbate. PM is wrong, under any circumstances, so trying to rationalize doing it is dangerous. Not saying you're gonna rationalize -- just want to give you fair warning. :)

    I'm 46 and gone 30+ with nothing unusual to report yet. Jason makes a good point and there was a post on yesterday about prostate cancer and no fapping (and its great we all have this resource so we can share information/experiences/ask questions etc) and like Jason I'm not saying you will rationalize or that's even why you ask but its always worth getting the reminders in etc:)

    Better to get it checked out. I doubt it is cancer so don't worry unnecessarily. but it could be an enlarged prostate problem known as BPH.

    see if this link is helpful to you: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001419/

    Some OTC supplements may help too. according to that link, saw palmetto supplements may be beneficial.

    Yeah not rationalizing just wondering if other guys have experienced the same thing. It seems to come and go. Sometimes it takes forever and sometimes no issues.

    Remember how after you O you have to peer like mad? I think it is the body's way of flushing you out and of course in hard reset that doesn't happen. So perhaps things get a little backed up? Who knows.

    I'm 51, and was diagnosed with BPH 5 years ago, but had symptoms for several years before that. I have noticed the pee problem getting a little worse since quitting. I'm not a doctor but I'm guessing it is due to the prostate not getting as much exercise as before and needing a little more time to relax and allow the stream to start.

    I had the similar problem. Sometimes i need to wait 20 seconds or more, other times i don't wait a second. I doubt the prostate can change size between days.

    I think its most psychological. Even if its not, i would suggest that you cut down on carbs, or do intermittent fasting. These things should shrink an unnaturally large prostate to its normal size.


    Don't buy the fact that a prostate normally grows by age. The growth is minimal. The reason is often increased carb and insulin.


    good luck.

    I seem to pee endlessly and also have trouble getting started. Once the floodgates open though, I have to go far too often. 33 years old and fapping everyday sine I was 14.

    Yeah once I start I have trouble emptying my bladder and feel like I am back in the bathroom a few minutes later. Also I used to PMO with my phone in the bathroom stall and now play word games when I am sitting on the toilet instead. And if I sit there for awhile I will pee and feel done then a minute or two later I am going again. Don't know, but I will be 40 in 5 months so I figure the prostate exams will start soon.
