How does dopamine recover during nofap?

Thats how you know it is working

 

Cut it off! Just kidding. The natural sex drive is vital to our energy level, but the key is to CHANNEL this drive into positive action. According to ancient yoga teaching, there is a coiled serpent sitting at the base of your spine, called kundalini. This energy can be directed upward through the spine rather than through the penis. Obviously the penis is not just for sexual use, so it still serves a function, but we don't have to waste our precious semen and exhaust ourselves through ejaculation. Competitive fighters abstain before matches for a reason!

 

It is not dopamine deficiency. You have frazzled your dopamine receptors. They will recover in time. But you need to stop all hypersexual stimulation via masturbation and porn in order to reboot the brain back to 'factory settings' so to speak. This will take many months of unbroken abstinence. Meanwhile, your penis will temporarily remain limp and even shrink.

 

Three weeks is commendable, but is a very brief time to expect any kind of recovery.

 

But as you said, you used cialis to have sex in this thread: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?t...aving-for-porn-anymore-whats-going-on.321652/

"Had sex with my gf 5 days ago with the help of cialis."

 

Yeah, I mean that, because it wasn't without the pill.

 

Then that means that your brain needs a long recovery to get back to normal.
