    Cold showers and why I think it works for nofap/noPMO

    I've implemented cold showers for a year+ now and I'd truly believe that it is a big contributor to my progress. As you'd would have known, cold showers is a hot topic in the nofap/nopmo sphere where many advocates/youtuber speak about it. As seen in my other posts, I highly talk about cold...

    Cold Showers are Awesome

    I used to hate cold showers - I just couldn't take them. I love them now. That shock you feel when you take the cold shower is uncomfortable at first, but then you get used to it. I find that they make me feel a lot better, and they help me out of my comfort zone. I am only on day 4 but I plan...

    My Journey to Full Cold Showers and Bathing in the Sea in Winter

    Introduction Let me share how I transitioned from a person rather sensitive to cold, and being called for it, to the leader of a “let’s bathe in the sea in winter” party. This article is for everyone that says “I hate cold”, or “I can’t imagine doing a cold shower”. I used to say those things...

    Are two cold showers a day okay?

    Well, for the past few days, I have been taking two cold showers a day - One after waking up and the other after working out. Are there any side effects? Or are there actually benefits? [P.S. - I'm asking this because I read somewhere that more than one shower per day is bad for health.]

    Those who are doing NoFap + Cold Showers

    What differences have you seen between how you were before doing cold showers and how you are (after starting cold showers) now? I used to do cold shower but since it's winter time in India and for some reason in the North-East it's weirdly colder than how it used to be before, I temporarily...

    Sudden nausea during very cold showers

    I have been cold-showering regularly for the past six months so I am not a beginner to this practice as of now but I have felt quite ill during the past month as the water pouring has become much colder, which of course is due to natural reasons (since the ground-water has become much colder)...

    How cold is *cold* for showering?

    Simple question: how cold are your cold showers? I've been measuring the temperature of mine, and when I have 100% cold, it's still about 18°C. If we're going off deep below ground temperature it should arrive at about 7° , so I guess I have quite a shallow water main (and I'd expect it to be...

    Cold Showers Improve Relationships?

    I'm starting to wonder if you take cold showers you'll be more successful with dating. If a married couple takes cold showers they'll never get divorced. Why? Because a cold shower is a way of bring intentional pain and discomfort upon ourselves. Most relationships end because we can't cope...
