The Tony Soprano Challenge: 1 month of NoFap + Cold Showers

Interesting challenge. I might give the cold shower technique a try

 

I will certanly be giving it a go tomorrow morning. I am canadian and in the winter the cold water is really cold but fuck it. We are truley men

 

I`m going full in.

Today is:

DAY 6 of nofap
DAY 3 of cold showering
DAY 124 of meditation 20 minutes

We`ll see how the day goes

 

I really respect your determination to succeed, and I think this cold shower and nofap combination is very beneficial and noble. ive been 3 days of NoFap and I shall begin the cold shower commitment. Good luck everyone!

 

Yes and Yes. Great tips all around especially now that it's winter here.

 

Sign me up! I've done cold showers in the past, and I can attest to their vast benefit.

 

I have a question. Why does my chest hurt after a few days doing the cold challenge? Is that normal?

 

The problem I have with cold showers is that if outside it's 20° C then a cold shower may be not really cold. But if its -10° C, well...

 

I'm in. I love the cold showers, but I haven't always been very committed to them. That all changes now.

 

I would be ok with all your NoFap Rules but i don't like the idea of cold showers everyday, i don't really get the purpose...

Actually when I've seen the title of the topic, I thought it would be "NoFap Rules + forced cold shower everytime you think (even one sec) about porn or any masturbation tentation", I would be 100% ok with that challenge but not with cold showers everyday.

 

So my guess is that members who did this had a heart attack? I asked did anyone else's chest hurt doing this but still no reply.

 

Thank you M.D for this thread, it has been a great source of inspiration for me and i've developed my own challenge based on your idea + on Ivan Pavlov Theory.
So far it seems like my new topic is still awaiting administrators validation but I can't wait to have your oppinions about it.

 

im done for this .

 

Interesting read. I will start this tomorrow, no fannying about, 100% cold.

 

I have been struggling here on nofap fap for about 6 months. I comitted to having a cold shower every day 1 month ago and now I am on my longest streak (20 days) which doesn't look like changing anytime soon...
I still have 100% instant cold showers even when I am sick with no problems. You will amazed how much the cold struggle evolves into a challenge for the mind. When your feeling down about your goals and demotivated a cold*shower will become much harder to have.
The water isnt any colder it's just in your mind. So you can really take control by having cold showers and eventually your mind will learn, it will backwards rationalize and cognitively make predominent the idea that YOU counciously have control and well when that happens you do have control and that will be huge in your recovery and ability yo do what you want in life.

Everyone has excuses for not having a cold shower, but if you comitt you will be amazed the results.

 

i know this is pretty late, I'm one of the guys that first started on this but had to quit cuz hemorrhoids and shit. BUT I've been taking cold showers for 2 months in a row and never got chest pain. Im guessing its either too cold for you or you need to see a doctor man. My only issue is if it gets too cold my scalp fucking hurts

 

Little update - I went 3 months with cold showers and it was great. I had been sick with the flu and cold at times and still had cold showers without adverse affects.
Lately I switched though now I have warm showers as long as I don't relapse...otherwise it's back to cold showers.

 

Hello I will participate in this challenge. I have been taking cold showers for about 2 month back and will not stop doing it any time soon.

 

interesting rules, lets give it a try

 

Thanks for the tip
