Masturbation urges nofap

Mine did. It took about 35-40 days before I broke a 20 year habit of daily (P)MO. Calm down is a more apt description for me as I don't think they would go away completely in the near future.

 

I would agree. IM not too far in the program but am as horny as F**K right now bc i am used to a daily PMO. I was doing better with all 3 PMO but lately slipped into more P and Psubs. Edged a bit yesterday to some P but didnt complete to O.

 

If you don't fantasize AT ALL and you don't get any sexual stimulation (no edging, no looking at P/Psubs etc) they eventually go away. As soon as you reintroduce any sexual stimulus, they come back...

Mine went completly away after 10 days. I went hyper-cold turkey mode though. I didn't even look at cute guys on the street. Logged off facebook, no snapchat, no TV, no movie... I think that's what you call monk mode!

 

Agree. I think monk mode may be the fastest path. I look back at my journal and though I was crisp and golden when it came to avoiding all forms of pixel-based P material, I fantasized as natural compensation and that undoubtedly made my struggle harder than it needed to be. My brain was even conjuring up images from childhood and erotic women I had not thought of for 20 years. Perhaps that needed to happen the first time, who knows. Thanks for reminding me of monk mode. It is something I may partake in (even if for unrelated reasons). I wouldn't mind pulling a Tron and going off grid.

 

This 'monk mode' yall are speaking of is a well known technique over at the Your Brain Rebalanced boards, it is the highest method of rebooting IMO,

The "No Arousal" Method - Celibacy of Body AND Mind - Your Brain Rebalanced

'Twas spawned by the legendary bigbookofpenis.

NoA is the gateway to mastery over your sexuality. Granted I prefer just to use the term chaste or celibate hahah, to each their own.

Sexual transmutation and celibacy are timeless practices, granted everybody needs to smack a big fat label or brand on things these days........

 

Good link. I must say, the bigbookofpenis is quite prolific in his writings (as expected I suppose). I am about half way through a first reading of the method. Briefly that looks to be best implemented in stages. Now 80 days into a reboot, I feel comfortable turning away from fantasy. Practical considerations make it tough to eliminate 'all' sexual interactions with women temporarily, but I do believe the method would be highly successful. I'll have to look into a modified version of it taking into account practical living circumstances.
