    I have the feeling that I was doing NoFap for too long.
    Doing NoFap since December 2018 with 7 Fallbacks.

    At the beginning it was like really good for me.

    I was able to concentrate more and felt more masculine and dominant.

    But now after over a year of doing it, I somehow feel that it changed its effect for the worse.

    I become more easily aroused and sometimes I am hard as soon as I fall asleep until I wake up the next morning.


    Anybody had a similar experience like that?

  2. Only 7 fallbacks within 1.5 years is good. You can be proud of yourself! :)

    Having a great libido is something to be proud of! The goal of PMO recovery should not to stay abstinent for forever but to be able to control your needs and get rid of addiction behavior. What are the effects that you say have turned your life to be worse?

    I become more easily aroused, even through my nipples and I do not want to be aroused, because it would just lead to PMO.
    Just fighting against my libido has become my new daily activity which I do not enjoy.

    This morning I woke up after coming in my pants (which is basically happening every month now.) This time my hands were on my nipples which felt weird and not very masculine.

    I just hope that constant arousal would stop..

    I feel that I have too much dopamine in my system, so much that it isn't healthy.

  4. Live around were i live the women around my community are highly unattractive and rude.
     
  5. Having wet dreams and feeling a strong libido are both signs for the success you had with your recovery!

    The wet dreams already started in the first month and it is not that, it is just that it is getting harder and harder to control my arousal. It is like a constant burn. Getting hard from the tiniest thought immediately. I didn't have that that hard in the first 5 month of doing it.

    What you have said are good signs of a high sex drive, which you should be thankful for. Put that energy to use in weight lifting or picking up girls, studying, working, etc. This drive is not to be wasted on fantasy or your hand. Use it to improve yourself.

    Take your high libido as a blessing, even if it’s hard you know how many people including me would kill for that, oh my god.

    IMO NoFap for too long is not healthy. It helps porn addicts to stay away from porn and reboot their brains, but after some months, it's benefits are achieved to a maximum and there's no point to keep it.

    I see a lot of guys here saying that once you recover you should get someone to have sex, but you know what? The first person you should have sex is with yourself. How can you have good sex with someone else if you don't know how to arouse yourself? IMO masturbation is completely normal and healthy. Of course, avoid porn as much as you can. Porn is trash and if you keep consuming it when you masturbate you will rewire your brain to this garbage.

    I started NoFap October last year and stopped January this year. Since the first time I had good sex (February) I feel my libido much higher than before (it's important to note that was the last time I had sex so far), and now I masturbate often. Now I'm pretty confident that I can get aroused with someone else much easier than before. And I won't stop. I'm reading about sexuality, exercising and doing Kegel daily to improve.

    And about touching nipples, dude I totally love touching mine! I think learning to get aroused with other parts of our body but our penises is great! I'm trying to rewire my brain now to learn news ways to masturbate, like touching my nipples when I aroused, this way I'll learn a new way to get aroused besides touching my penis.
