Hello everyone! I wanted to ask your opinion on something that has been happening to me during my reboot journey: I've needed to pee a lot more (like every hour) and recently I've found precum in my pants without getting an erection. Ok, to be honest, the last two days I put myself in a situation that aroused me and while in there I think that I could feel the precum coming; however, in either of the two times that I made that mistake - which I regret so much now - I got an erection nor touched myself, it just happened to act on its own down there! And today I haven't been aroused - only have had thoughts, which I'm fighting really hard - and for some reason I'm still finding precum in my pants. And again, no erections or touching myself at all, and I'm very confused now... feels like I need to release, but I guess that's another withdrawal effect that the addiction is provoking me so I relapse, right? My question is: is this precum release normal in the journey? I ask especially because today it's just day #11 for me, and I wasn't expecting these kind of things so quickly for not releasing daily. Currently I'm trying to avoid all sexual thoughts in my head, but this situation doesn't help... any comment/tip you might have for me is really helpful and appreciated - thanks and stay strong!
Finding precum randomly or more easily than before is super normal. Your body has been producing it continuously over the years, and now that you've suddenly stopped using it, the tank is full and leaking lmao. Just stay away from those situations that trigger you, but don't worry about the precum, it happens. Having an overactive bladder and frequent peeing is also common, but no one's really sure why yet. It could be because your bladder is next to where your cum is stored (it's not the balls hahaha), and since you've just got like a bunch of extra cum there, there's not enough room for piss, so you need to go to the bathroom more often. That's probably part of it, but no one's really sure. There's also a correlation with people with porn addictions and ADHD symptoms, which also correlate with more trips to the bathroom, so there's probably something there too There's other weird shit that'll happen to you too. your dick will seem like it's shriveling up you might leak actual cum randomly or when aroused (feel's like a warm slug coming out ) cum is gonna cum out of your dick when you take a shit balls will probably get pulled in a bit at some points you're gonna be super aroused by the smallest hint of cleavage or ass, and at other points you're not gonna think girls are sexually appealing at all And more haha. I could explain them and link YBOP articles but am too lazy rn haha. Go through this FAQ yourself Porn FAQs
Hi, thanks for your reply @modernstore99 and sorry for replying so late! This is happening to me again, and a lot more than the last streak (which I had to reset due to some mistake I had). And well, this time I think it's more natural, I haven't let sexual thoughts and fantasies develop as much as before but I frequently find some precum (or even little cum) in my pants without reason. Sometimes it can be that I saw a hot girl on the street ('cause I've been out of home more time recently) or just that I'm talking with some female friends online (but I don't even know their face, just like friends in some common interests) and then boom, I find the cum again. It's really stressing at this point, I want to keep my semen as much as possible. But my body isn't helping, and two days ago I had another wet dream all of sudden. It sucks, I want to be able to keep my semen for at least 2 weeks, like no arousal and precum at all, save all that energy for my productivity... So, if anyone has tips or a possible reason for why this is happening, please feel free to share here and thanks in advance! Stay strong, we got this brothers!
Oh I don't consider it a relapse because (1) I'm talking with this girl in terms of friendship/studying and I'm not seeing her (we don't know each other face/body, etc.) - it's strange I know, but my point is that the precum appears even when I'm not thinking sexually about her. And (2) it's unnatural, more like the excitement to talk to someone online that makes my body to release something rather than me voluntarily going to get aroused in an online chatting website. But before (the days of my first post in this thread) I did chat voluntarily in that mood of getting aroused and I would consider it peeking, so yeah it is a relapse in my opinion - or at least a reset in your streak. Thanks for your question anyways, it's good to have clarity on it!
Hello, sorry for late reply hehe. I think it's partially solved, after around 30 days (before my reset) it suddenly stopped and now it's only happening to me when I either drink too much water while studying or when it's cold outdoors and I'm in front of the window almost all day. Something I realized too is that I've been feeling nervous to the point of getting cold hands and lot of pee when thinking about girls or dating, it's something I'm trying to work on (with meditation for example) but probably during the first days of my streak (when I wrote this post, before my reset) I was thinking way too much about girls and sex because I was watching lots of videos about attraction and stuff I probably shouldn't have watched compulsively (yet it helped me not to relapse ironically) ~ so maybe that was another factor for my case... I hope your own problems solves soon and yes it will get better for sure, it's frustrating at the beginning but that's the power of self-improvement, to continue working hard and embracing discomfort in order to get better results in the future - you got this, stay strong!
