Feels like a relapse after strong urges

  1. Hi guys,

    Today I had strong urges in the afternoon, I was pretty horny. I think it was something what is called blue balls, but I can't be sure as I don't know enough about it.

    Anyway, after the urges were gone I felt pretty bad, like after a relapse. Motivation and confidence were down. I might have touched myself a bit too much (not even close to edging, but more than you normally would).

    Anyone experienced similar things, is it a commen problem and what do you guys think about that?

    It sounds stupid, but really it is a case of ignoring it until it goes away. I had this for a few days when I started, and found that I had really sensitive achy balls and a constant need to pee. It does pass, but it's kind of uncomfortable for a while (maybe 3-4 days?). Try thinking of it as a reminder of why you need to give up - I think it's your prostate and internal bits getting used to a reduced (i.e. normal) load on the system.

    That's very normal I think. I can relate with you on that, you are very horny and you fantasize a little bit, actually you are almost going to porn again, but you resist and it seems like a relapse after that, but it's not. Relax!
