The thread title speaks for itself. I'm interested to hear people's opinions on cold showers and what they actually do and if they actually work. At this moment in time I don't take cold showers but I am questioning whether I should start or not.
Some years ago i read that they were a myth and in fact they do the opposite! So I tried it and for me i get aroused... dunno if that's due to my system being messed up due to fap
They work for me. I mean, I do it gradually from hot water to warm then to cool and then to ice cold. And then ice cold for several minutes. They do help with flat lining too. If you feel miserable, then you are immediately in a good mood...
They help with flatlining?! This would be great for me! Half the reason I don't have them is because nothing about a cold shower appeals to me. I never actually thought of starting hot and then gradually going cold... Thank you for the comment!
Oh wow! Maybe that is just the effect they have on people. I guess there is only one way to find out what they do to me... Thank you for your comment!
I take cold showers since January and for me there's no way back. I do take hot showers occasionally, but I can't imagine doing so every morning. The energy you get is amazing + I haven't catched a cold since I started. The myth about cold showers is that it raises testosterone, thats BS. But it works good for the immune system, that's for sure.
Too, cold showers help us get used to discomfort. Also, they are a great way to distract yourself if you are having intense urges, I know!
Well for me, when I'm horny and have a cold one = I don't feel horny anymore. But I would say it works only short term. Yeah try it. I just like the feeling. I noticed, that my body adapted to the cold. The first few times were a massacre. You'll notice the heavy breathing at first. But now... nothing it's just normal.
I believe that cold showers are just a distraction for the mind and a placebo effect, but either of those things could be useful tools for some men. You don't have much to lose in trying them. As for me, a power outage on my Day 8 forced me to take a cold shower. It was awful enough that I decided to make sure I would control my desires by other means!
