15 days down, question about sex

Well congrats on the 15 days. I'm 14 days myself. I might be new to this whole thing, but I would say that normal sexual encounters would be productive, as long as it's organic and you aren't fantasizing about someone else etc etc. Peoples brains are all different and some have to abstain from everything, so I think you are correct that it's something you can answer. I say go for it, I've lost too many opportunities by playing games/fapping or not living in the moment. Good luck friend.

 

I had sex and O'ed today.
I would say that having sex is fine but it does slightly suppress the NoFap benefits, for example: your drive wont be as high and confidence drops slightly.

You wont get brain fog but I will tell you sex leads to PMO urges, I went for a run and spammed emergency NoFap when I got back lol

Up to you though man I kind of wish i didnt have sex today personally.

 

What's the point of having high drive/confidence if you can't use it? Lol

 

Hey Pyramid,

Congratulations on 16 days!

If you do have sex, be careful of the chaser effect.

After you've had sex, people can find they have urges for up to 3 days after. It can be a very rough time.

Good luck.

 

Of course it's a bad idea. If it's that easy just to spend time with her and "get some" with not actually being in a relationship, she's probably doing that with a ton of guys. Seems pretty risky to me.

 

what do you mean expand on this please

 

Sacred spiritual sex with love is the goal I think. Harder to achieve. The taoists taught male orgasm without ejaculation where you actually recirculate life energy through either your own body or with the help of a partner. Highly advanced technique, one I don't fully understand myself. Imagine the "energy" that creates life from sperm and egg being redirected.

 

I don't know what these guys are talking about. I've once gone two months with no PMO and once I had sex, my confidence SPIKED, I felt like I was lifting more in the gym, and my mood went way up too.

 

yeah had sex yesterday and pmo twice since then definitely gives you strong urges after restarting today.

 

I'm abstaining from O completely during my reboot. I've PMO'd for about 8 years and I am choosing to do 'hard mode.' It's much easier to get through the reboot without any sexual activity at all. But that's up to you.. if you think you can have sex and continue to do the nofap challenge then go for it. It's complicated because it really depends on the individual.

 

I say have sex as long as you do what Matt said, it needs to be in the moment, with her, not in your head fantasizing. I had sex with my wife after 20 days of no P and 8 days without MO, it was great. I was 100% into her and the moment. I lost no energy nor confidence, because I think it had been so long, and I only had sex, I didn't go on a binge and O tons of times. But I took everyone's advice and really watched out for the chaser effect. It does seem to light it back up and make it more sensitive and ready to get hard again, but I just got busy and ignored it. Good luck!
