    I heard about how good cold shower helps here but how could that help?
    Does it turn me off if I have urges?

    Cold showers are great for many reasons, healthwise and also for completing NoFap. It helps you deal with urges by causing you to experience discomfort and then get comfortable with it. It also helps your general mindset for life. You know a cold shower is going to suck and be cold, but you do it anyways because you want to accomplish a goal and prove something to yourself. Getting into this mindset of becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable can help with girls, schoolwork, and anything else you can think of.

    I'm a bit jealous because I can't do an actual cold shower myself. Max I can use is cold-ish, if I try to use ice cold I start breathing deeply and get a rather scary feeling of suffocating. Had this ever since I was little kid.

    Maybe someone here had a similar condition and could give me some tips? Is it psychological effect or is it something wrong with my body? (My brother had an asthma when he was younger but I never had any issues with breathing except for this)
    I'd love to overcome this and I'm trying to slowly get used to lower and lower temperature but I'm not sure if that doesn't defeat the purpose of the whole thing.

    @Shakti: I think most of guys are like including me, I'm not sure about suffocating but for myself I really have a big trouble with cold water, for example swimming, I really can't stand and my body is shaking before the water touches me especially my back. Unfortunately I don't have the trick to do it but to do it and don't be scared.
     
  10. It mainly helps because you break your behavior, and also, a quick cold shower makes your body feel good.

    But don't shower yourself as a "punishment", no, it should be refreshing !!! So not ice-cold, beware !!

    "2. Turn the shower ALLL the way cold from the very beginning. Some people like to suggest that you start it warm and gradually make it cold. Don’t be a wuss! This defeats the purpose!"
    If it is not ice cold it defeats the purpose.
    Cold showers help a ton if done right. Your will power is like a muscle, you have have exersise it by doing thing that you dont want to do. And yes it kills your urges if you have them and also "snaps you out of it". Highly recomend you have a cold shower daily, i cant live with out them now. However it should be unplasent for the first week, if it isnt your not doing it right. Good luck!

    Once you do cold showers for a week or two, they become something easy to do once you know you can do them. Just get used to them and perservere.
