    I just had a relapse after 3,5 months of nofap, and I feel like shit for failing. How long will it take for me to regain my superpowers?

    How's that possible? Was the orgasm intense of weak and dull?
     
  8. Generally orgasms are more pleasurable and stronger if you feel good about having one, if you feel guilty while doing it than it would not be pleasurable at all.

    I feel for you man I know exactly what you're going through i myself only had 135 days that’s 4 months and 15 days without PMO this pass March. I was supposed to get 5 months without fapping or porn. It will a least take a week to regain your strength.
    How does it feel to look at porn after months without?
     
  10. the superpowers are no more than your state of mind, if you allow yourself to mope around and be sad than they will never come back, confidence is a state of mind.

    LilBeck I think you should seek regular actual sex instead of fapping/PMO.

    NoFap/NoPMO is not some "special protocol" -- just the natural thing that happens when you don't have regular actual sex. Those without a respect for this nature seem to end up either "relapsing" (to relieve "that sexual frustration") or "flatlining" (to reject anything sexual/sexually-related because it causes "that sexual frustration"). No "superpowers" for either of those groups --- the point (whether/however you get superpowers or not) is to actually seek sex instead.

    I just woke up in the middle of the night from a wet dream. Hate this shit. This has never happened to me so shortly after relapsing.. Just 7 days of no PMO now. Will it slow my recovery?

    How did the relapse come about? You claim you O’d without touching. Can you elaborate more on that?

    I watched porn, that's what happened. Got so much dopamine my body couldn't resist anymore, I guess.

    Still, I wonder, does a wet dream slow your recovery process? I'm so frustrated this happened after such a short period of time from my relapse. In 7 days is when the benefits of nofap usually come. Did I delay it?

    If you have it in your mind that you delayed your progress, then you have. That’s the point. The mental outlook is half the battle. Stop worrying about wet dreams. Unless they’re happening multiple times a week they shouldn’t be inhibiting your recovery very much. Just keep going on your streak and don’t look back. Stop dwelling on mistakes of the past. Learn from them, but forge on ahead.

    Superpowers are a myth. Nothing more than temporary dopamine imbalance fluctuation while you brain chemistry rebalances itself (it takes months). You're in a very dangerous moment right now. Rather than worrying about "lost superpowers" focus to get back on your feet immediately to prevent slip developing into full blown relapse.

    Lol superpowers are just what you get when you become a lot more sexually (as in actual sex) "open" --- something that NoFap/NoPMO can bring about especially for first-timers (to NoFap/NoPMO that is!)

    Essentially it's the result of first becoming more sexually open without...well, any particular odd "barriers" or frustrations, what have you!

    Superpowers are not some transient "dopamine imbalance" imo --- they're just the result of unconstrained, unfrustrated or non-barrier-ed (for lack of a better word!) and most likely newly-opened sex drive.

    You'll lose them if you don't pursue/have regular actual sex in the meantime. Abstinence here will pretty much start "closing"/"frustrating"/"barrier-ing" the sex drive, so you'll end up losing whatever "superpowers" you would have had there before. In other words, essentially you lose them frustrating yourself with abstinence.
