    thats when the testosterone increases and you feel the urges strong. once you hit that 7th day it should be easier. hopefully this inspires myself and others.

    Yes definitely. Actually I think the first 2 weeks are the worst. The chaser effect and the binge would lead to some serious damage if uncontrolled.

    Definitely thinking the same as @StonePlacidity because the first two weeks are the hardest. First is hard due to the chaser effect and second week, especially day 10 or 11, are the days where I'm most horny and it's super hard to control.
     
  4. The first week is usually when I relapse, so I agree.

    I'm always stunned when I think just how many years have I been a slave to PMO, and how a mere 14 days without it feel like an eternity

    It is definitely brain science.

    This science also says two weeks.

    I experience that too.

    I'm at two weeks now and not difficult yet. Maybe less desire because I'm older (mid 40s), or maybe my nervous system is so exhausted after 30 years active or latent addiction that it will take longer for my energy to build up. I'm not going to fool myself that it's going to be easy all the way. I expect the difficult time will come and I need to be ready for it.

    After strenuous exercise was the worst time for me too. I would get home from my martial arts class, later than I normally go to bed, and wide awake from the training. So what else would I do but fire up the porn machine? I'm happy to say that for the past two weeks I have successfully displaced the habit onto NoFap. I look forward to coming home and reading and posting here.
