    Hi,
    I always get the nofap superpowers if i abstain for a few days. Then after a few more days, they go away. The superpowers are so strong with me, everytime i get them i feel like i can just do anything. Its really hard when they wear off, because it's such an amazing feeling when you have them. And when they wear off i feel like a completely different person. Right now I'm repeatedly doing 4 or 5 day nofap streaks and then masturbating for a few days. This way i can get the superpowers when i want them. My longest streak has been 26 or something. These superpowers dont really last with anyone right? They're always going to be a temporary thing? Have there been cases where they would stay for longer periods of time after 90 days for example?

    Hi!

    The "superpowers" are an awesome feeling, but I believe you attain them because your mind and body are on a high because they're not used to having all this extra testosterone and dopamine flowing around you. Once you get past around the month mark, everything starts to calm down and regulate itself; the same as any change in your body. For this reason, you will start to feel "normal" again.

    This is my experience anyway. If you're only masturbating when you feel it's absolutely necessary for you to have that release, you will feel a lot more grounded and mellow in your day to day life than if you beat off for hours on end multiple times a week just because you're bored.

  3. A few days masturbating and then a few days not masturbating will not get you anywhere at all. Furthermore, superpowers do not exist. Your addiction has inhibited normal functioning. Any positive benefits you can feel is a return to your normal functioning, not super functioning! Only when a person makes a completely recovery (which may take 6-12 months) can that normal functioning be sustained. 90 days is just a milestone to aim for, it is not the final destination. So, get these false ideas out your head. Forget this stop/start regime because that is just textbook addiction. Just stop!
