    17 Years old. So I've put this question out there about 3 times now and i've only had 1 reply back!
    I really need help and advice on what to do!

    I have my final school exams starting in just under 2 months. At the moment I am trying to reboot so that I am sharp for them, as when i masturbate i am demotivated and have brain fog and can't concentrate, however from personal experience and researching I know that not masturbating causes you to be irritable and have brain fog as you're body is craving masturbation as it is so used to it! and by not doing so your brain goes weird and you then get headaches etc.

    I don't want that around my exams, i don't want to be stressed. But i don't want to relapse and ruin any streak that i have held down!
    :S Help please! Does anyone have any experience of this!
    would it be beneficial to masturbate around exams so that i'm not stressed

    Don't masturbate, Davies. Stay sharp. Don't buy into that research and studies. They're lying. You know the truth about the brain fog. You've been through it before. You gotta be attentive through those midterms and focused all throughout. Don't worry. You keep on rebooting, okay? You'll get through. Good luck, Davies.

    Actually PMO'ing made my concentration worse. Of course there are gonna be difficult day while on reboot but your brain if far more better than it is in addiction. I use a $15 non prescribed serotonin enhancer from amazon.com which is working quite well. It helps me keep calm so I could concentrate on my studies. Good luck!

  4. Yeah man, I'll have exams soon, too. And it's really hard to concentrate. But try to fight through that, I hope it will get better after we overcome the 'rebuild'.

    I think the main issue here is an attempt to find balance. See most of these gurus advocate that masturbation once a week or so is a healthy thing.. it attempts to find an "optimal" balance between too much and none at all. The problem is that who honestly only PMO's only once a week consistently? It's like popping open the cookie jar or a bag of cheerios and only taking one out of the bag a day, despite the temptations, the aftertaste "chaser effect," the wonderful smell from the bag, etc.

    My view: Don't PMO.. Rather channel that sexual energy into something else like exercise. That's what I've done, I am able to push harder in my workouts and feel amazing and clear headed afterwards, both "the pump" from lifting weights and/or the "Runners High"

    Everyone here is saying to not PMO. From personal experience, the 1º week is just awful. I couldn't do shit, i felt depressed, wanted to die. But the 2º week, was actually better for my grades, and i was more concentrated ... Then i relapsed but ignore that XD

    My opinion: Do whatever you want, not based on researched, but based on what you feel or experience.

    what the fuck?? that's bullshit man..totally! don't listen to stupid people who will make excuses to run away from nofap streaks! they are hard,we get it!
    okay , now listen, i had exams last month and i was feeling like i will definitely fail the semester. i was afraid and really wanted to pass. every exam time i would try and do everything alone on my own and masterbate to reduce stress and find escape, i failed every F.U.C.K.I.N.G. time!
    this time i tried something new,i rebooted and stayed on a nofap streak, went for jogging to convert that sexual energy into something useful for body and went to a very trusted friend who helped me study and got notes from him. i thanked god everyday and night for giving me everything i had and asked for his help to pass. after a little hardwork and trust, I passed and with better grades than expected.
    nofap helps , seriously man,try my method and be strict on yourself to not give into urges. if your friends telk you crap about nofap, don't talk about it with them. they probably fap like 3 or4 times a day .
    i wish you all the best for your exams and streak..!
    work hard.
    :)
