It has been a week since I started the nofap challenge and I am starting to feel the tension caused by the urge. Today I had peek to some lingerie pics and mostly non-nude girls since this morning I was very horny. I am not sure if it counts as a relapse but I will try to refrain from this bad habit. Since, I am rookie I have few questions: my balls are getting very swollen for obvious reasons and I sometimes feel some sort of discomfourt, and a costant reminder that I want to masturbate. So, it is not very easy try to focus on other thing..has anyone gone thorugh the same issue, any advice would be most welcome. I also am planning to not masturbate for at lease a month and then make an attemp without any porn or pics, or have a normal intercorse or do I need to wait 3-5 months? I am little confused with so many different modes and challenges.. Cheers-.
It's better to MO than to PMO, of course. But I personally wouldn't try to MO (even without P) after a month. I wouldn't M ever. I guess the reason you are wanting to do this after a month is because you want to relieve some of the tension, right? I think you will always have moments of tension, where your balls feel swollen for example, but they will become easier to resist. MO'ing after one month will not help anything, in my opinion. When you're feeling tension, just leave your room, go out and get among people, eventually it will fade away. Physical exertion helps with that. So, to combine the two: go for a run.
Thanks, mate.That’s a good point. Yet, seeking relieve at some point will be a tough challenge. I am trying to avoid all the triggers around and I am focusing on new other interest but my brain has not yet processed such a sudden change so it keeps push me to masturbate. I am determined to not to fail and I am constantly telling myself that it is a piece of cake. My main goal is to get rid of porn masturbation habits and the vicious circle of time wasted and mechanical stimulation, I do not think masturbation itself is wrong but should be once in a while activity after I will be done with nofap project. However, maybe in two-three months time I am planning to have normal sex. I do not see the benefits of a perpetual chastity besides going straight to the nuthouse… Of course, this is my opinion at this early stage.
