What is this thing about cold showers ?

Discussion in 'Self Improvement' started by Haddock, Oct 30, 2018.

  1. P-subs are things that aren't strictly porn but are used as a substitute.

    To quote the NoFap glossary, "porn substitutes, are considered undesirable replacements to using pornography. Examples might include excessive use of dating websites, looking at clothed images of models, or even cruising social media websites for pictures. The intention is what matters the most."

    P subs made me relapse . I wa watching YouTube videos of micro things
     
  3. You can make YouTube much less triggering. As I've written before:

    "
    In YouTube if you run the cursor over a video suggestion (the screenshot or title) then some dots will appear to the right of the video's title, like this . Click the dots, and "Not interested" will appear, then click that.

    Basically, do that with any video that is triggering in any way. Keep doing it and YouTube will get much safer.

    You have to be signed in to YouTube to do this. But you don't have to keep signing in, just don't sign out and don't open YouTube in a private window."

    May I? Oh boy. P subs are really what I am addicted to. Any stimulating sexual material that is not necessarily hard porn (instagram pics, half nude, Playboy, models, phone sex, etc.). Best to stay away. I wonder if anyone still does phone sex lol?

    cold showers are great. I believe they boost testosterone, not sure if it has been proven though. They definitely help me wake up in the morning and have made me more disciplined.

    I love my cold showers, especially in the summer where I know they won't give me a cold or something. To me, its an experience like no other: you turn the cold water on and your mind just shuts off. Its a moment where you don't think about anything else besides the cold water touching your skin and your body warming up in response.
    No wonder it's so helpful to resist urges, they literally force you to stop thinking about playing with your willie. :D

    I'm experiencing cold showers since I started this thread about 20 days ago. I must say I do not feel super powers. However, this is true that's it helps me to focus on quitting porn. So what you say is completely true ! I recommend it to new nofap users. In fact I'm starting to get used to it. It is easier than it was at the beginning even though the water gets colder (since winter is coming !)

    I usually get up at 4:30 Am to be ahead of everybody else and I can tell you if you have a cold shower it will ancor your day! More confidence more energy more self discipline. It will start your day off right. Give it a go for a couple of days. Man it’s hard to get in there after you wake up though. Lol.

    I have been taking cold showers for a while. I used to take really warm/hot showers and it would dry out my skin, I find that it helps my skin breathe (cold showers).

    The colder the better. Best results are when I put my head directly under the stream for a bit.

    Currently there’s more science behind cold showers than there is for nofap. I would never go on a no MO streak without regular cold showers
