Dry Dream

I think that after a wet dream follows the chaser effect...

 

There is a time of increased urges as your brain fights to get back what it craves. And also your feeling there will grow very sensitive.
It's a tough time to get through but it will calm down.

 

Chaser Effect
The Chaser Effect is a period of significantly increased urges that potentially can follow an orgasm during a Reboot. People may encounter the Chaser Effect after having sex, masturbating - whether to porn or not - or even having a wet dream. The Chaser Effect is common, so there is no need for worry if you encounter it. However it often creates some difficulty for Rebooters who plan on orgasming during their reboot, or Rebooters who have relapsed and are trying to restart their reboot.

 

Stay strong ShuttleTrooper and thank you for your timely message. I am having exactly the same issues as you - at exactly the same time in my streak - and it has been very encouraging to realise that I am not alone in feeling like I am hitting a tough patch at the moment. I am on a current PB so far, after a lifetime of PMO and this is all new territory to me. I experienced a dry dream last night and reckon, it was the first time that I ever actually dreamt of reaching O. My erotic dreams before this mostly ended before I got past 1st base and I can't recall ever having experienced a wet dream in my life. My sex drive is on overdrive at the moment and I am getting seriously turned on by things that would only have been very minor turn-ons before. It feels like the pressure is building. I probably didn't make things any better by a very short spell of edging that I quickly turned away from. Stupid I know, but the porn brain had a grip on me last night, less so this evening, thanks to your original post, and all the great replies that followed. Thanks again for sharing, your message could not have been received at a better time.

 

The chaser effect for wet dreams is very strong.

I almost broke my 64 day hard mode streak yesterday. I had a wet dream and it was the least control I've felt in the past 64 days.

 

Don't hope for a wet dream, it will only put you further on edge for more stimulus. Your horniness will come and go, I've actually found the periods of horniness easier to deal with that the period of absolute sexual nothingness, just keep riding it out!

A dry dream is a gift, you're retaining your semen and experiencing pleasure at the same time. Lots of people practice for months to perfect dry orgasms and you've had one spontaneously.

 

That is a wise bit of advice sayonaraPMO. I now realise that hoping for a wet dream was more from an expectation that it would ease the withdrawal symptoms than wanting to O. I am also beginning to realise that retention is more important than I had really considered before. I will admit that I am actually one of those people who practiced for months to achieve dryOs - so maybe that helped out in the dream. I knew all that hard work would be rewarded some day

 

Nothing like a bit of kegel self-control

 

LOL they have a name for everything these days. Stay strong brother - the big 50 is in your sights. I'll be amazed to get to 30.

 

I believe that the general idea on retention is that by retaining all those incredible bio bits in your semen, your body can reassign it as it continues to produce more. As the sperm produced is not being spilled then it must be reabsorbed. This increases your own hormone levels and adds extra energy to your body and spirit.
