    Hell I really want this day to be over. The urges are so bad I feel real physical pain right now. My balls actually feel sore. Im only on day 4 but this is the first I've had this. Anyone have this before?

    Oh yes, buddy.
    But please believe me---they will pass.
    To do something really decent and worthwhile, we often must first carry the cross. In one sense, and depending on how you approach it, your endurance of this pain can be a sign of your regret for past, unworthy behavior.
    Most guys find that blue balls pass after a few days. In the meantime, try putting some ice cubes in a baggie, wrap it with a washcloth, and apply gently for a few moments. Do this as needed.

    You can do ALL things in Him Who strengthens you.

    Peace, brother. Mike

    I had this too!!I think on days 10-12 my balls really hurt!!i thought they are exploding, BUT I didn't fap and the pain disappeared after few days..so I would recommend you just to let your body work!don't worry about the pains, they won't kill you.persevere man!

    right now, on day 53 of nofap, my balls hurt again, because i thought about sex all day long. but the experience showed me that it will vanish by itself. also you will experience a lot of new things, if you resist the urges and endure nofap! it's worth


    ps: I agree with mike to cool your balls...with ice or cold water;)
     
  4. Everyone has it. It is ghost pains, a withdrawal. Sometimes guys call it blue balls, but you will be fine. Don't let your addiction talk you into relapsing to ease the pain. Accept the pain is the price we pay to disconnect from porn induced dopamine addiction. That is just the price we pay. It does go away. I suggest you do the hard 90. 90 days no porn, no PMO, no MO, no O, no sex, no porn substitutes, no vanilla porn, no thoughts of porn or of sex, no gratuitous sexual thoughts, no porn memory, no artificial sexual stimulation to give yourself a dopamine high. If you can get to 90 a lot of guys report feeling much more back in control. Peace.

    Yes, I too have had blue balls in the first 1 to 4 weeks (but not so much anymore, but occasionally) - a severe pain that always caused me to give up. While cold showers don't quite do it for me - they just agitate me and the cold water doesn't necessarily hit or stay on the right spot. I have discovered that an ice bag, covered with a cloth (don't apply ice directly to skin), and applied directly to the balls creates a slow, penetrating, and soothing coolness to the testicles (nice relaxation), relieving the testicular congestion. Sometimes I take an aspirin of Tylenol as well, on the theory thatf thinning blood a little may creatie smoother flow and less congested blood flow in vessels. It also helps if you lie down on your bed and rest while doing this - great when you're trying to sleep or are up in the middle of the night with blue balls (fall asleep like a baby). Sometimes I also put a headset on and listen to neutral music - it helps sooth the mind, too, at the same time and distract from sexual thoughts when the balls are aching. Also, sometimes putting the ice pack on the front of the forehead (again covered by a cloth) drives the thoughts away and relaxes the mind.

    Dude, don't take this advice lightly - it has helped me defeat the "physical pains" of PMO withdrawal.
