    Hello
    I'm 18,boy and My longest streak has been 17d for past 1.5 month(17 day period- this happened thrice). Right at the 17th day Urges bomb over me and I become Uncontrollable. And today is Day 17 and I'm am not going to relapse today. Yet I got urges while I was using YouTube and I found myself searching bad stuff and within a minute, someone came in the room so I closed (from which I realize that being public helps me do NoFap)! I think if I was in private I would have been relapsed again.

    What happens in 17 day period when I used to relapse?: For the first few days I would be normal and by the time day 15 comes, thoughts about sex starts popping up, and on day 16-17, Urges Start hitting me. Urges cause a Relapse. For me, Urges are caused by a Curiosity about Sex, Masturbation or curiosity to feel the feelings during MO. It is due to the Sexual Hunger in me. Or I should say Lust.

    WILL: I thought we can overcome PMO by will power. During Day 1-10, even if you bring a naked woman in front of me I would close my eyes, because my will was: I should follow NoFap.. Some bloody part of the brain still says "No don't follow NoFap". Then during Day 15-17, what happens is that The will that was saying I should follow NoFap, Now shifts to urging me to fap. I would find myself relapsing only because the dominant will is to fap. That bloody part which was urging me to fap would grow through the period to occupy me. I would switch sides without even being conscious!

    The will which I used to control PMO in the day1, is the will compelling me to fap by day 17! WTF

    but How do we Control this curiosity? How should I fill the hunger of my senses without PMO? How to detach?

    All the problems arise because I am in holidays- no goals. When there aren't any goals I relapse because of the curiosity and when I have a lot of goals, I relapse because the will tells me to relax sometime by faping. :( (Altogether I suck anyways)

    Thanks Brothers

    Making it to day 30 had always been difficult for me, i generally relapse when i get close to the target. But this time i used urge surfing and probably things went well i crossed day 30. Once i reached day 35, i felt damn confident and i hit flat line, no urges after that. Even if there are, i have the confidence to confront them.

    In the last 12 years , i was never able to reach this target and when i did this time, for the first time, i feel great and very importantly confident that i eternally lacked

    Hold on well there ! Being at 17 days means you can reach more than that , try having a hobby + enhance your tools to combat the urges ( by knowing more about the science of addiction it is an eye opener )
