    Hi everyone, havent posted in a long time so I apologize if I post in the wrong thread or something like that .

    1 thing that is stopping me from conquering nofap is stress. I am a university student, and my program is tough. (most kids drop it after first year)

    PMO is a super quick stress reliever. I rely on it. but I dont want to have to rely on it anymore.

    Any suggestions on quick (emphasis on quick) stress relievers. I already workout (isnt quick anyways). Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

    You don't need to be polite in saying the suggestions will be appreciated, but you need to have an understanding of the suggestion to actually appreciate and successfully execute it. That means you may need to spend more than a few seconds reading it. I don't know about you personally but I am really discouraged to recommend anything because most people don't really spend the time to read what is said online. That has to do whether you kind of read the instruction manual so to speak, not because something is not quick enough (whatever that is for you) but once you get it it may be quick, you just have to learn about how to do it. Just like anything you're learning in uni you can't expect to get it right away.

    Very few things will work as quick as PMO does, that's part of what makes things addictive - instant gratification. In the long run you probably need to address that not just for PMO but for other things in life.

    A couple of simple ideas: contrast showers and binaural beat. With the showers it can be as little as 5 minutes, something like 30 seconds hot and 30 seconds cold cycles. It will get your circulation going.

    With BB *the right recording* can work pretty fast, or it can START working quickly. There's more to this like things that may help you study if you look into it - again you need to read up a little and try different ones.

    I have to keep in mind other people might benefit from this but TBH I'm extremely discouraged because for the most part it's short attention span. I hope I am not wasting my time like I have repeatedly experienced in the past.
