    So, basically what happened in october is that i was having a 1 month long streak without any fantasizing (which for me is insane because i usually last 2 weeks before thoughts start getting to me, but this time i managed to control them) and a lot of urges came up.

    I was questioning myself whether or not i should relapse to have these urges go away and i dont know what it was but it really was stupid if i think about it now, it made no sense of me to think that and i guess it was just the addiction putting pressure on me.

    I relapsed, and after that, i started again. I went about one and a half months, but the thing is that i was SOOOO sensible to anything sexual.
    Even in the mornings, when i`d wake up, i`d have this kind of a burning sensation on my penis as if i was thinking of something sexual and some precum would come out (just like as if i was actually fantasizing). It went on and on, every morning, every day, and i started talking to this girl and thing were going really well, but every time i was thinking about meeting her or going on a date with her the sensation came back instantly.


    Usually it would go away in the afternoon completely, and would only happen in the morning.
    I relapsed again, even though i didnt feel like it. I only did it because i thought that the feeling would go away, and now that i have the ability to control my thoughts and not fantasize (which for me is the hardest part), things would go amazing.

    I currently have about 47 days of streak, and the feeling is still there. I am OBNOXIOUSLY sensible to sexual stuff
    or anything, pretty much
    i could get turned on from hugging a girl romantically, but not always.
    If i see a scene of a couple making out, the same would happen. Extremely sensible to anything pretty much.

    And this feeling is really really annoying because i get precum SO easily and its a frustrating feeling.

    Some of the benefits are there, but I KNOW FOR A FACT that if i didnt have this feeling every day i would arise from this addiction so much better.....

    Please help, tell me if this is normal, if you have encountered it, and if i should relapse or not....
    In the past i have had a 200 day streak but it was pointless because i was fantasizing LIKE CRAZY and was just basically making up porn in my head,and i do not want to waste 200 days again...


    THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE ;((

    Every normal person possesses sexual desire...we are wired this way. I could remember getting 'turned on' just because a girl was in my personal space(felt embarrassed). I realized this was one of the long term effects of prolonged exposure to PMO. It takes time and consistent effort to calibrate your mind towards chastity. Hence, I say you do some premeditated imagination exercise before you meet someone. Eventually, your heart would settle in its habitat.

  3. “I was questioning myself whether or not i should relapse to have these urges go away”
    My Rule 0 is never argue with your mind , there are two people there you and PMO
    PMO disguises itself as you
    For the burning sensation can’t you go to a Doctor to check you for any STI’s?
    If you’ve been in PMO for a long time whats happening is totally normal

    im a virgin and havent even had oral sex or smth, so i dont see the point of that.
    and yeah i have been trying to stay off pmo for like 4 years, and in the past 2 years or so i have made tremendous progres, even goin 200 days without it
    thing is i remember summer last year i had the same sensation for a few weeks after which i relapsed and it went away
    i didnt really take notice of it because it was something new and had no idea what it was, thats exactly the reason for which im asking if i should or not relapse, even if i dont really feel the need or want to

  6. I have a theory that we all wake up half hard 'cause we have to urinate. I think I confuse the signals coming from down there. For all I know this was our cave man ancestors favorite time to procreate. (Some day, they're gonna find 35,000 year old cave paintings of men masturbating...) And they probably had to urinate also.
    The other thing for me is "desire." During my longer streaks, I notice that I experience Desire in waves. It just sort of washes over me and isn't necessarily connected to anyone. It's not a bad feeling and I wonder sometimes if it's a sort of energy I can use (see all the stuff here on the transmutation of sexual energy).
    I have noticed, I hate to say, that when I relapse, that's followed by several blessed hours of no sexual thoughts at all.
    It's like if I feed the monster, he'll go away. But only shortly, then he's back. The longer I go nofap, the weaker he gets. In a good mood, I can sometimes appreciate a person's actual, natural beauty without having to do anything. Like a painting or a work of art. I can appreciate the Mona Lisa, but I have no desire to take it down, take it home and fuck it.
    This is both good and bad: I have had the revelation once in a while that all women are beautiful. This has nothing to do with sex. All present an appeal of some kind, a mystery, a hidden danger.
    And someday you meet that person that you want to be with. You want to do all those sexual things and many others, but with her, not anyone else. Seems like all our relationships start that way and somehow sex becomes the most important thing and it all starts to go south. Sorry to ramble. This stimulates a lot of thinking!!

    I use to have a similar problem last year. I would precum after getting close to a girl. And it went on for 3-4 weeks.
    The reason it stopped after that is I realized every time I saw that girl, I was constantly thinking about doing something sexual with her which turned out to be detrimental to my NoFap journey as I would relapse due to uncontrollable urges.

    So I focused on other things in my life. Cut out all sexual stimuli that would come across like in T.V. shows, Movies which have sexual content in it. I made interactions with that girl to a minimum.

    I just saw you are 18. Your dick is going to be hard every morning for a number of years. Try to just get used to the sensation and not worry. Scientifically your hormones are strongest in the morning, even for old farts like me (71 yrs old). And 18 is just that time in life when a breeze can give you a hard on. Be grateful things are working well. If you are staying away from porn (main priority) and limiting your M-ing you’re fine. You are not abnormal. Stay open to healthy loving relationships.

    Yes.
    Don't think about it too much(Pink Elephant analogy)
    Focus on other things and after a few days or weeks, you'll be fine.

    i had kinda lost hope it would go away because it has been here for like 40-50 days, even if i always try to get over it and drift my mind to somewhere else
    Just last night i had a dream in which i was literally on my phone on 3 different porn sites looking for videos and then, in my dream, i believed that i relapsed and suddently got that intense guilt feeling.

    You cannot possibly understand how relieved i was when i woke up
    I was just like "i never want to experience that feeling AGAIN".
    Still, this precum and super sensitive thingy is really annoying me
