I've been here 16 days now, PMO free, and while I was taking a shower today, I couldn't help stare at my little buddy. As I was staring, I got hard, but told myself not to touch! As I looked away my erections went away, I find it weird that by just looking at my private part I get hard. Anybody else get this problem? Is there a way to control it?
It is surprising for you, as a naturist/naturalist to get aroused merely at the sight of your flaccid dick. Whenever I have looked at naturist/naturalist web sites, I have never got aroused by them. What was going on in your head at the time?
Im not really a nudist, I sleep naked that's about it. Im not sure, but whenever I look at my dick, my brain thinks it's time to fap, and blood starts flowing. I'm trying to train myself to stay flaccid by simply thinking of something else. It's hard but I know I can get passed this hump!
It is not so unusual for someone early on in their recovery journey. Normally, when you see dick, it is either on screen during porn or it is your own which you masturbate to get an orgasm. So there are sex connections either way. You should find this less of a problem as you go for long periods without using porn or masturbating. Get used to no touching! Sleeping naked has specific benefits, such as increased testosterone. I sleep naked, too, I just prefer it. It feels natural.
Apparently, you have conditioned "little buddy" to react when you stare because you have often followed the staring with a session of fapping. Flipping the shower to cold should put him in his place. Eventually he will learn that he will not be rewarded in the shower, and if he wants to rise up in protest, he will be met with an icy blast. If he wants to see any action, he needs to collaborate with you in finding a willing partner.
Your body only has one brain and it's located inside your cranium. Talking about your dick in the 3rd person as if it has its own thoughts & opinions is cute and all, but it just sounds odd to me.
Yes, it sounds funny, but when you give in and fap, was it you or "little buddy" that was pushing for release. Actually, here it would be more anatomically correct to talk about a reptilian part of our brain and dopamine dependence, but I thought that @supaflyB 's "little buddy" communicated pretty directly (post #1). I liked the phrase and used it, though in a more generic way, as if we each had one of our own with a mind of its own that makes its own decisions as to when or if he's going to come to attention and perform.
