    Is it bad to take a hot bath? Like really hot? I feel calmer after it yet kind of this close to relapsing after a bath.. Is the hot water bad for this challenge. Lucky my mind went PMO or nofap.org

    Not at all. Whatever will help you relax and take your mind off PMO is always a good thing. When we're stressed out we're more likely to seek bad habits. It's part of our natural brain's chemistry, to find pleasure when we feel down. Thinking about how bad something is makes it bad. If you find it calming and helpful, by all means go for it, but make sure you also do things that are beneficial to nofap such as meditation, exercise, and a good diet. Good luck.

    Just had the same question, bro. I definitely alleviates the sperm in our testicles. That's why with time after the bath we get a testosterone surge.

    I take a ton of baths (because I love them and it helps my muscles recover from a workout). I'd be careful going too too hot, but unless you feel uncomfortable you're fine. They're extremely relaxing and often help me sleep before bed.

    Nah it has nothing to do with relapses.
    I take hot showers twice a day

    I take almost every day a bath and it helps me absolutely to get calmer!

    I take cold showers. Beneficial in many ways. When you do something hard like take a freezing cold shower (not just standing there, actually scrubbing with soap) other things in life seem much less challenging. When I revert back to PMO it’s usually because I’m mentally weak, depressed, or lazy. Cold shower will fix all those.
    Best of luck.

    Interesting, how many times a week you do cold showers? And how long per shower?

    Depends. Usually once or twice a week. And they are as short as possible lol. Honestly once I get used to the cold water I almost enjoy it

    All I know is being under or in hot water too long dehydrates the skin. It rips moisture from the skin. It's bad for people who suffer with skin conditions like eczema.

    But I don't know if it necessarily increases your chances of jacking off though.

    Well, you want to be careful because the longer you sit in the hot bath, the natural oils are going to be stripped off the skin. For example, you put the dirty dishes in the hot soapy water in the sink to soak, and minutes later, the grease comes out of the dishes. Imagine that will happen to your skin from head to toe. Also, comfortable and pleasure=PAIN.
