Cold showers?

Okay, yesterday I was like: Never again. But I just did it again!I think it was a bit easier today but still horrible. All muscels down from the belly cramped and I had fear to fall (anyone experiece?), so I shut of the water, shampood my hair and went under again. No cramping this time, bud a feeling of many needles penetrating my body. Before that it war only cold but now it was actually painful. It was easier to bear than the cramping though.
But afterwards you just feel great having done it. And you dond even think of MO when taking a cold shower

 

Its interesting, yesterday I was like: You dont have to do it tomorrow, two times in a row in quite good. But today, laying in my warm bed, I was pretty exited about having a cold shower. And even my dick was exited about it, I dont know why, maybe just because its a new experience that has to do with being naked . Its interesting because normally I take showers like 1 to 3 times a week, now I took 3 showers on 3 days. I think its because its not just getting clean, but also a challenge. And to everyone who has the feeling that the days just pass by without a chance for you to really notice them I can only recommend this kind of daily challenge, because you start feeling everyday, at least the moment the cold water runs over you.
Today it was far less cramping, its getting better. But I also have a con today: I have a little headache, maybe because my heads blood circulation isnt used to this quick changes of temperature...

 

Okay the headache yesterday was really a big con, it lasted very long. But I think you just musnt hold your head under the cold water for too long, only as long as you need to wash your hear. Another pro is: No clouded mirrors
Another con is: Well some people say that your body temperature and your blood circulaution are getting better through cold showers, but I felt chilled through all of yesterday. So I thought, maybe its because when you get in your cloth right after, it might be a change of temperature the body cant quite deal with. Maybe you just have to walkaround in your underpants for a little while...

 

Mark are you Mark Queppet ? That's what I thought but in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvmYINIXN5U he advocates going for cold water right from the beginning (at 2.40) and you say you can't do it.
I personally can't. I start with slightly warm water to get my body used to the water and then turn it cold progressively. I'm able to go really down in coldness. I don't see why it shouldn't be valid, it still gets me way out of my comfort zone.
Today I tried to go as cold as I could and my head started spinning. I also felt pins and needles on my shins. Are those sensations normal ? Will I get used to it or will it get better ?

 

OK, cold shower men, I have a question for you? Why am I aroused during my cold showers? I have been doing cold showers for about a month. I start cool, not too bad, and go colder and colder as my shower goes on. At the end, I go all cold for as long as I can take it, usually another couple minutes.

Anyway, when the cold hits my penis, it is arousing. My penis never goes super hard, but usually is half erect. When I spread my legs and the cold hits my scrotum, the scrotum responds and ends up nice and tight to my body, but the penis stays semi-hard. Cold water is hitting my penis or running over my penis most of the shower. I had expected my penis to shrivel up and climb back up into my body like when I go swimming or am really relaxed in a warm shower, but has yet to do that.

I also have precum leakage as I dry off, so I do know I have really been aroused. This happens with every shower, and I cold shower almost every day.

So, has this happened to any of you other cold shower men? Looking forward to your thoughts, ideas, etc.
Thanks,
FW

 

I've been taking cold showers for a little better than a month. I prefer them for all the above mentioned reasons. They are or at least feel true. Being alittle uncomfortable with myself for a few minutes prepares me for the upcoming sales day.

 

Ive been taking the cold showers for two weeks now and feel amazing after them.

To me its more of a challenge, do I dare to take a cold shower? and I always do (been missing it one day). But I also go in to the shower when it is already cold, at the coldest the shower goes. Then I actually sets a clock and only showers 5 minutes!

I know that there are benefits like better immune system and easier handling stress and so on. But the main reason that Im doing it now is for the feeling of victory after the shower.

 

will give it a try, thanks

 

freedom warrior sometimes I have the exact reactions as you with semi hard, and when I soaked my whole body in a nice back I got fully erect. You'd think it would be the opposite. It isn't 100% of the time with me though, but my penis never shrinks really small like when swimming.

 

I find that cold showers have gotten easier for me to do. I set a five minuet timer and once it goes off I'm out of the shower in like 5 seconds. also I find setting it to cold before you jump in is the best way to make sure you actually do it. If i were to set it to warm and then change I might not change it to cold at all. its a great exorcise even if all you get out of it is looking like a complete B.A.

 

Mt metabolism is already of the charts, maybe I shouldn't be taking cold showers...

 

Guys do you know exactly if cold showers affect your metabolism=weight because im trying to gain weight cause im an ectomorph body type(hard gainer) and i think cold showers will not benefit me like i want to.
Some say it helps with weight loss some say it doesn't affect it??

 

The difficulty of taking a cold shower also depends on your place. Here in germany the coldest setting is very painful. Its so cold, that your balls hurt even if the water has not touched them yet.
I watched a series of videos on youtube as I was starting a new attempt of NoFap. I found the video with that guy you certainly have already seen, who introduced the benefits of cold showers as a training method to strengthen the power of making a serious decicion in motivational words. He said something like:
"If you cant even relax under a stream of cold water, why should you be able to do so in a more serious situation?"
This was a interesting question, thats why I immediately tried it out afterwards. I forced myself to take on a deep rythmic breath. It was very refreshing and promising. I also regularly done this at the showers of public swimming pools.
After two weeks it gradually began to drain physical energy and to get more and more painful.
I could not do it to that extent again.

So do not exaggerate, dont take the shower too long. It has some impacts on metabolism, but the unnatural high temperature drop damages the bones, joints and organs.

I decided to take short cold showers only at the end of a session. It is like a sportsman, gradually building up stamina, not by doing peak performances every day, but doing regular training at challenging level. Taking a pure cold shower at the coldest setting every day would correspond to a peak performance, which is not meant to be done on a regular basis.

 

Click, wonder where you dug this up. I have read a lot of amatuer stuff on cold showers, and just have not found negative effects such as you describe. Please share. Thanks.
