    I'm on my 11 day of hard mode NoFap. Plus no drinks or smoking or anything. Want to cut any ties to relying on anything that I can.

    But one thing I've really noticed is the sexual dreams I've had every night. Not really complaining but does everyone have these and how long will they go on?

    Also I'm wondering if I flat lined from the beginning. Because I really didn't have much issue this time with NoFap. Really no big deal at all. But I do find myself getting more sexual I guess

    This is not the first time I've done this so idk what's going on. Other times were much harder but this time I just totally convinced myself that the benefits of not fapping was much more than doing it.

    I'm a 35 yo male. Been married twice. Porn definately hurt my marriages. Looked at porn since I was about 12. Tired of the problems it has caused. Want to be a better man.
     
  2. Yea. I think everyone has them. I have them. They for sure screw up my sleep for the night.
    But you have them because you are addicted. Once your addiction is gone your brain will be able to push them away easier and without even thinking about it.

    Of course some sexual dreams will be with you for life. Like any other dream. But that doesn't mean that you are addicted or you can relate to them in any way. In the end, its only dreams.
    From puberty everyone, men, women all in all ages probably to the day you die you will have sexual dreams. people always dream.
    Only difference is that. When you're not addicted to porn it will just be a dream and it wont affect you the same way as it would if you were addicted.

    Flatline I would say from personal experience is part of your heaven through this reboot and a chance for you to rest a little bit.

    Well not fapping means higher testosterone which means more attention from women. Which I noticed today. Even tho I have a cold and I'm starting to ignore it because i've been lying in my bed the past week and I'm sick of it now. I looked away pretty much after one second whenever I made eye contact with a woman but I did notice that they were checking me out etc.

    Hope I helped, cheers man!

    Definately helped bro. Thank you.

    The dreams aren't a bother though. But yeah its funny how I never really dreamed anything sexual when I was fapping. But now I guess my brain is rewiring and trying to work things out. I don't want to have a wet dream. So scared that's going to cause depression, no motivation and anxiety like when I used to fab. One of the main reasons I stopped. But is it inevitable? ? Only had one in all my life and that's when I hit puberty.

    And you know your right about the flat line except I think it causes depression and all when your going through it.

    That's great about the women checking you out. I had the same thing happen to me. Me and a bud went in Hooters the other day. Probably day 8 of my NoFap and two extremely hot hooters girls made a point of smiling and checking me out. We have gone in hooters hundreds of times and I'm friends with a lot of them but this was different. So I've definately noticed that so far. Also no anxiety. And less depression. Motivation hasn't been affected much if any at all. That I reallly need!!! Bad!!
     
  4. About wet dreams.
    Yea you gonna have them. All you can do is to accept them. Its the shit that reboots throws at you. You would have them whether you reboot or not.

    Check out this video about wet dreams:

    Gabe Deem explains it pretty good.

    There are always things you can do to minimize wet dreams but most likely you'll have to figure them out on your own because what works for some might now work for you.

    Yea. I heard depression and relapse is caused by flatlines but in my opinion and experience they cause me joy and relaxation. Why? because there are no activity down there, no brain storm, no super testosterone levels that might mess with your attitude or whatever. I absolutely love them and want the most out of them.

    Yea well enjoy that! it feels fantastic and could most likely make your day.
    Yes, those are the benefits from NoFap and no porn. Motivation you gonna have to find on your own but no anxiety, depression and happiness gives you the jump start to go out and get it!

    So I’m new to this, on day 13, I wrote down the exact same thing and someone told me on here that if you have these dreams you gotta cut em out or it’s a relapse... does this mean I relapsed via dream?? Because that sucks. I haven’t watched porn masturbated , I have deleted all social media

    I don't think it counts. Scientifically, dreams are really just your brain trying to process what happened to you the day before. While you are rebooting, the fact that you are abstaining from watching porn is on your mind, so your dreams are just your brain working through that. Plus, unless you are naturally able to have lucid dreams or have trained yourself to do it, you don't really have any control over what happens in your dream. Abstaining from porn, in my opinion, has to do with training your self-discipline so that YOU decide whether or not you look at it, so if you can't control a dream.

    Good luck to you! I've been struggling with similar things in the past few weeks, but looking at your post and coming up with a response has helped me figure it out for myself and put it into words.

    I've never had a sexual dream that I remember.

    Maybe herbal sleep aids would help, valerian, hops, etc., milk, etc..
     
  11. You have to have sexual dreams when quitting pmo. Its your subconscious outputting what you're resisting so much. It's quite a beautiful process of your brain chemistry shifting from an addicted mindset to a more healthy one. You'll find they will die down and you wont be preoccupied with those unwanted thoughts
