    I'm a 26 year old guy. I graduated from a good college a few years ago and still work the same serving shift that I had while I was in school. It's good money but I have not had the powerful drive to leave. I've applied to a few jobs and either don't get called back or get denied the job. I got frustrated and stopped trying. I also party quite often.

    Anyways, for the past month I decided only to drink when I went out for a special event. It has not been hard and I have had time to focus on exercising and "getting my life together" or whatever. I feel more "gains" from working out without alcohol, and it's easier for me to sleep.

    About a week ago I read something about the "NoFap" movement and have never thought of myself as having a PMO problem. The truth is that I DO! I don't even try to hook up, I would rather be in the comfort of my laptop and lube. Honestly, it's gross and I want to overcome this bullcrap.

    I have some questions about this whole thing if anyone could help me out.

    1) I've been "clean" for 8 days and this is probably the longest i've gone in 10 years without blowing a load. Do your testicles swell up? I feel like going a long time would cause some sort of bloating down there...

    2) Do you feel like there is more blood flow to your flaccid penis, or less?

    3) Can you still do Penis Exercises while doing NoFap or would that maybe get people to excited or count as masturbating in a way?

    4) What other advice do you have for me? I deleted all of my porn bookmarks.

    :)

    Welcome @Michael Trent, glad to see you here!

    I'd recommend you continue to exercise do a few other things like taking cold showers, reading books and some deep breathing.

    To answer your first question, I'd say over time there can be some build up down there and I have a technique for you from one of the Heirs @SolidStance.

    For some of your other questions I wouldn't worry too much about certain things, they will take care of themselves over time. Those things will improve as you go further along this lifestyle and your blood flow will improve. I wouldn't recommend touching anything, only when you are urinating or cleaning in the shower. It can be detrimental to your reboot if you do exercises like that.

    If you need any help feel free to message me, I recommend you join our group on NoFap called Heirs of the Sun. We have a serious community that offers many tools and support to help an individual succeed in overcoming there addiction.

    You seem to have some good decisions to help aid you in your recovery! Keep that up and you will succeed! So far you're doing very well!

    Thanks. I woke up and had a cold shower and it seems to take all the blood out of my member, which seems to help with my girl cravings.

    I can definitely withhold from PMO but sometimes I get horny and touch myself a little bit... not masturbating, just putting pressure on my junk, and maybe tugging it a little. Should I try to stop doing this? It's so hard. lol
