How to ignore boners

    I have been doing NoFap for a while with the goal of cutting porn completely from my life. But one of the most difficult challenges for me are when I get a boner.

    I genuinely don’t know how to ignore boners because the moment I get one I have the roughest time getting my brain off of wanting to pmo. So right now Morning wood is something I am dreading and night time showers get me everytime.

    How do you guys ignore them?
     
  2. Just ignore it, view it as a sign your body is healing, do not view it as something bad.

    I would love to view it as a sign that my body is healing but everytime it only seems to remind me how I’m still addicted to PMO.

    Think of your goal in life, are you going to let this single boner destroy your streak? Also, NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR PANTS WHEN YOU HAVE A BONER. (ground rule for not relapsing)

    The thing is that I cannot for some reason like use the bathroom or shower or do anything with privacy for a second without popping a boner. Thats why I’m having a tough time accepting that getting a boner is good thing, it only seems to hinder my progress instead of helping.
