  1. That's the only thing that causes wet dreams? How can you sleep with stress and anxiety? In order to fall asleep one has to relinquish stress and anxiety.

    You can sleep if it's not high enough to keep you awake, also that's not the only thing, any emotion that brings you out of a neutral state can cause this. Lack of emotional balance is the cause of wet dreams.
     
  3. I definitely wouldn't rank that as the number one cause of wet dreams. A contributor, yes. Having to urinate badly while sleeping is far more of a trigger for wet dreams than that. Though, I have also had wet dreams despite waking up to urinate excessively, so its not the only cause either. In terms of sleep, its my understanding that if one is sleep deprived and goes to sleep exhausted, then wet dreams can happen, as your normal guard against them seems to vanquish. Wet dreams can also mostly definitely be the result of a demonic attack.

    Oh definitely, in my latest wet dream although I was able to control myself, around the end the woman's eyes were looking right at me with eyes wide and seemed very hostile, looked like a manga drawing tbh. Anyway, I'm not worried about wet dreams.
     
  5. I was saved by an angel of some sort during one near wet-dream. It was highly sexual and right about when i felt i was gonna release, I suddenly felt this presence and image of light, and it stopped. The dream even continued on for a little longer before i woke up. Many years ago i was also raped by a demon during sleep paralysis. So, I really have no doubt in my mind that they can be demonic attacks. That was well before I was spiritual in anyway too.

    Just don't live with fear, they feed on that and keep improving yourself.

  7. It's hard to tell how many because I didn't count them. But first wet dream happened after 13 months - I was dreaming about browsing web, watched light P in my dream. It felt like I was half awake but still couldn't think properly and after ejaculating I came to my senses and woke up and realized what happened. Damage was that almost of pmo. That week I read one chapter In Bible a lot so that almost memorized it(for Bible studies), but that first wet dream was more a result of previous pmo life and pressure from bed or duvet.

    Preventing them with cold showers and trying to go to sleep early and wake up early, without sleeping in a lot. Before I was telling myself before sleep firmly - I will not see sexual dreams! Also at one point was praying God before sleep to guard me and my property during the night. So yeah - consistency, since it is easy to do those little things and easy not to do. But mostly cold showers and never drinking coffee and trying not to eat sweets and soft drinks. Reading Bible and praying more or less almost every day.

  8. You went 13 months without any wet dream?! That’s crazy man. I don’t know if you’re lucky or your work paid off. Maybe God granted you protection. I pray before bed too for protection.. because there are definitely dark forces that want to steal our valuable sexual energy. What time do you go to bed and wake up?
     
  9. Well man, you are 26, at your age I did 2-3 months without wet dreams. But was not Christian.
    I go to sleep like at 10-11 PM, waking a 5:40-6 AM but sometimes fell asleep even at 4-6 pm, and then wake up At midnight or 2-4 am, start to read and usually don't go to sleep again. During summer had a lot of super early moornings.

    Hey guys,


    first of all, thank you for all your thoughts on this, positive or negative.


    So, a little over three months after my original post I wanted to give an update on how I'm doing with my decision to end normal mode and going back to masturbation.


    First things first, I still don’t regret it.


    The good thing is: masturbation has not led me back into porn. I actually never had the temptation to turn on porn when I got horny and wanted to masturbate. I have a habit to masturbate only in my bed and only shortly before falling asleep, maybe this (structure) also helps.


    One of my biggest problems while being on NoFap disappeared: premature ejaculation. Not long after I started to masturbate again, I met an absolutely gorgeous woman and had the most amazing sex with her. I was and am very happy that during our sessions I can please her for a very long time without coming after one minute. Also, the orgasms don’t hurt anymore.


    But I also have to mention that my original plan (masturbating only one time a week) didn’t work out. After the first few weeks I encountered some stress in my life and masturbated two times in three days. When this happened, I decided to lower the bar and said to myself that I only masturbate every other day. I can stick to that. I am a very sexual person and could do it easily three times a day, like I did years ago. But after my three years of PM I have the discipline to control myself. And going from three times a day to one time in two days is a success and healthy way of masturbation for me personally. Especially with the positive side effects of not coming early and non-hurting orgasms.


    So, what about the ego trap I mentioned in my first post. Well, this one completely changed. I wrote that my life was defined by asceticism also apart from NoFap. I only drank water, watched my nutrition very carefully, watched my sleeping time, did not party at all, no alcohol etc. All these things are not bad for themselves, I just noticed that they defined myself too much. They became an ego trap for me. I did those things not because they were healthy but because I wanted to prove something to myself. All of that disappeared. For months I went out partying, had many days in a row with little to no sleep, ate a bunch of fast food, met new people etc. Only thing that remains from my austere life is that I stay away from booze. I also don’t regret any of this. I felt alive again. Although I might have to turn back to modesty now and do everything in moderation so that the ego trap won't get me the other way around again.


    Thanks again for reading and I wish the best of success to all of you. No matter how your personal (NoFap) journey looks like.


    Stay healthy everyone!

    Masturbation if you keep it up for long enough will eventually lead you back to porn, I know you think you're in control but it's a slippery slope and you'll only see it once it's too late.

    With that said, do what you think is best, I wish you freedom, your post is a great inspiration, I'm going to reach 1000 days myself one day.

  13. Congratulations on such a streak.
    If I may I'd like to follow this thread.
     
  14. Have you seen animals, they don't give a fuck about sexual energy, sensitivity, blah, blah, blah. They will do whatever they like and when its time for sex they will do it and forget the rest. We humans will be overthinking like shit every time. So stop that, stop giving a fuck about all this things you are 1095 days away from your addiction. So grab a beer and enjoy this fucking life mate.
     
  15. Thank our third layer of brains for all that overthinking, the thing that gets us into this mess is what gets us out of it.

    How was your PE condition before? and how long it took you to recover from it?
     
  17. I'd love to know too, because I suffer of PE as well unfortunately... ED also... so I'm not in a sexually healthy state which is a daunting thought and I'm trying to cure it. At this stage all I do is practice no PMO. Is it not enough to cure the situation or does it need more time? Are there underlying things that prevents my healing process from happening? Just wondering.

    Hello there dear fapstronauts!

    I started this thread exactly one year ago and I thought it might be useful for some readers to hear an update on how my story went on.

    Let me say this first: I did stay away from porn all the time!
    Not once did I watch a porn video or opened a porn website.

    I would even say that during this one year I haven’t really felt the temptation to do so. It has become something like a barrier in my head. It's like something that is a complete No-Go area, impossible for me to even enter.
    So I'm confident enough to say I’m free from porn.
    Because, again, during the past year I, of course, got horny and wanted to hump and/or masturbate.. but porn? Never even seemed to occur…

    My original plan to only masturbate one time a week didn’t work out though.
    But I managed to keep it under control. I don’t do it 2-3 times a day on average anymore. I do it way less.

    I never masturbate more than 1 time a day and there are often times where I only do it every other day or even less. I don't keep track because I know it's not pathological anymore.

    I’m still sensitive down there. But I can control it much better now. I dated a girl for a while and we had some very intense and long sex sessions that I could really enjoy without too much concentrating on holding back my orgasm.

    Most importantly: I got out of my personal ego trap. I’m much more chill about those things. I know I will not watch porn ever again. The urge is just gone for so long now. Gone for good. And I also know that I won’t get back to masturbating 2-3 times on average. Which to me was the bigger issue I realized.

    Many people here might disagree with me and that’s completely fine. Thanks to NoFap I came closer to a ‘middle way’ of handling this topic for me and overall I’m doing good. But while re-reading some of the old posts in this thread I realized that by definition I'm still on NoFap, doing the "easy" mode.

    Anyways, I don’t want to type too much since I don’t even know if someone will be reading this.

    Hope you guys are all doing good, regarding NoFap and in life in general.

    Take care!

    Props to you bro! Sounds like you've been on a bit of an adventure! 1095 days - that's some streak! Totally get what you're saying about behaviours that go along with it and they can definitely be dangerous. I'm taking the same approach and I suspect that I will keep it that way for some time. It's crazy how drained and depressed one nut can make you feel! I'd rather just not do it for 3-6 months and see how it goes then. I'd also like to know that if I do it, that I can do it with out thinking about some twisted voyeur fantasy that I conditioned myself onto with porn, and without doing in in one of the ways that I've conditioned myself onto while watching porn. There's like a whole mental ecosystem that goes along with porn that I'm trying to rid myself of haha. I'm counting days, but I'm not doing it daily. I think it is important to know that you are more than you asceticism. That's a pretty bold realisation because it's a realisation that, if handled well, will contribute 10x to your being a functioning, contributing member of society.

    But why do people do nofap with no goal in sight? I think your next goal should be to get married (assuming you're old enough). Otherwise, you can go ahead and fap... After all, if you ever find yourself going down the rabbit hole again, you can start rebooting all over again... It's that simple.
    Personally i think you should work towards marriage. I'm currently on day 35 hardmode and my goal is to get my life in order, find love and marry. I'm 36 years old, by the way, and never been married because of this horrible addiction -- Left my life in total disarray.
