    OK, when I was a regular PMOer I would always get a chaser effect after PIV to O with my wife. Why? Well, number one, I was a huge edger. So once I have an O I would say, "well, now you can binge since you already have Oed." And binge I usually would do, Oing at least 3 to 4 time in a day or two.

    But now, after NoFap I don't have that effect anymore after making love to my wife. I feel no need. Grated, the first time I did, but not the second which put me into 4 weeks P free and 3 weeks MO free.

    I think, when you MO, and especially PMO or PME, it causes stress and higher level of cortisol (stress hormone). But when you give up that stressful behavior, and have PIV to O with your wife, you get a cocktail of dopamine, oxytocin, and then prolactin (a high dose). Oxytocin make you calm and secure, it is the bonding hormone and can be easily released with a simple hug. Prolactin is what causes you to go into refractory mode and loose interest in sex. When you MO you only get prolactin, pretty little oxytocin. That leave you lonely and stressed.

    Just a theory.

    Sounds good to me. O with a partner is a million times better than PMO. So sad that our brains tell us otherwise.

    Yeah but no matter how many days I've made, whenever I O with my wife I ALWAYS have the chaser effect... Sometimes I get through it, others I don't.
    In fact I relapsed twice only the other day because I has sex with my wife the day before...
    I think it sucks because I want to have sex with her, but at the same time I don't because I want to cleanse my system...
    It's a Catch 22...

    With MO you get much less prolactin then with PIV to O, so you are more likely to want to do it more.
