Brain attempting to re-adapt using 'hardcore' scenarios? Anyone else have this?

    Last night for example, I spent like 4 hours in bed fighting an erection giving me all these 'wonderful' hardcore and hot scenarios. Many of them were hardcore, extreme, or power scenarios. Not all of them even involved me.

    It's like my body is desperately and convincingly sending me scenarios to get me to fap and send all my energy out, so I no longer have any responsibilities. I know damn well if I gave into those urges this morning, I wouldn't be doing two workouts today as well as learning new materials.

    I actually feel like I have a hangover though, because every time one of these images or scenarios would enter my head, I would get tingles and feel a rush of hormones. It's like a hormone hangover. Plus it was harder to sleep, so now I'm more likely to 'give in' again.

    It's 'funny' in a way, because when I started NoFap, I was sad that I no longer woke up with morning wood or had random erections at thoughts of things. But now it's like that's nothing to me and I'm still not happy about it. Nofap is a curious beast.

    Very interesting note: I also definitely noticed that these big urges seem to happen much much more when I'm slightly hungry, dehydrated, or low on electrolytes. I'm guessing that when a male might be in a survival situation, there's a primal need to spread that last wave of genes possible before it might die. I've noticed that as soon as I eat some fast healthy carbs, protein, and fat, I am usually able to control these urges.

    Anyone else have experiences like this? I'm going to assume it's a yes since I'm human and it's not like I'm wired that different.

    I want hundred percent have had the exact same scenario has happened to me. They usually happen around the three to four week Mark. for me I think it's a last-ditch attempt at my addiction trying to get me to relapse.it got so used to high levels of dopamine that when Ida private it gets pissed off.so my brain tries to throw all these hardcore fantasies at me to get me to release the chemicals.and I'm not going to lie, for a long time at work and I had a lot of relapses.

    but then once I learn how to surf the urge and let those fantasies play out in my head and not act on them, I realized that they would eventually pass. It's extremely powerful to be able to let them run through my head and then disappear and move on.

    It came so close to getting me. I had to keep reminding myself that it's going to be 1 minute of pleasure if I fantasize about porn type scenarios that will take 2-3 days to recover fully from.

    This routinely happens when I am hungry, so I'm just going to have healthy food ready at any time.

    It's funny how a lot of the issues relating to relapsing just have to do with managing your life better as well. Last night I know for a fact that once I ate some healthy food, the urge fell away and I had more control. Other times the urges seem to be strongest are when I've overexercised or overstimulated my mind with music/media, eaten a bunch of junk food, or put myself in toxic scenarios, aka arguing with a moron or disrespecting myself with my actions. Everyone makes mistakes, and I guess I've been locked into a pattern where when I've made a mistake I could eventually grow on, I just gave myself that easy dopamine and acceptance rush.

    Another awesome thing about NoFap is you can honestly just see it on peoples faces, especially in 2021. You can easily tell when someone is not on their A-game. I have a certain 'fire' to my eyes when I have my shit under wraps and people can tell.

    The unfortunate part of this is, people will notice when that fire isn't there and for many weak minded people, this is when they 'attack' you to boost their ego. This one time I fapped before the gym and I swear to god I've never seen so many manlets and old men try to get into a staredown with me. It was like a hyenas chance to bite a wounded lion, lol. Its actually useful in a way, because people who pick on others when they see weakness are not the types of people you want in your life.

    Yes! Weak people attacking resonates a lot, especially with co workers. And even sometimes I see someone who has a weak or toxic vibe about them and I have to make an effort to separate myself from their vibe. The reason I think in a way I am still a bit attracted to that vibe is I use to be that way. For the longest time I was weak and toxic, so I still find a bit of comfort there. But then I regain my composure and move on.

    And I agree, it's very helpful to be present and have awareness to those around you and then choose the healthy ones to keep around.
