    Urges do come, but they also go. Is showering a particular trigger for you? How might you change the pattern? (Eg. Listening to music in the shower, or changing your routine to showering at a different time of day)

  4. Don't look at your friend while washing it. That's the root of all problems.
    I used to do look, then got into more detailed washing of it (haha), would end up looking in the mirror and opening instagram and completely FLUSHING away all the hard work. Do not.
     
  5. The shower is tough for me sometimes. Looking at my penis gets me excited, so does washing it, and shaving it. Plus one of my fav places to MO was the shower since the water hides the noise lol. So i guess my mind associates shower with MO maybe.

    Yessss urges will get intense sometimes. The key is to distract your mind with someone else. I find listening to music or talking on the phone with someone helps my shower urges. Just remember to breath too. Urges are urges. They come and go and that’s the important thing to remember. Your brain likes to play tricks on you, but realizing your in control with a deep breath can help! Also, picture the best version of yourself. Sometimes if urges come, i think about all the possibilities in life if I didn’t masterbate. What that confidence can get me.
