    Hi mate, I weight train at the gym quite regularly & I definitely seem to feel an increase. I'm not sure of the science behind it but I am determined to give up PMO yet I'm not giving up going to the gym. I just hope that as I build up a resistance to P & PMO that these increases won't matter!

    What do you reckon?

    Oh! Then I am not the only one :/
    Do you have any suggestions what can I do? Does home pushups and abs training along with running have the same effect?

    Nope, not the only one mate. To be honest I never used to get the same urges when I played football, with the running etc.

    I weight train in all sessions & this is when I feel the effects later that day / next day. I believe weight training increases or boosts testosterone so it may be something to do with this. I don't think there is anything you can do apart from not weight train, but for me it is now part of my life & I don't want to give it up as it gets me out the house. I guess my answer would be do it more. Yes, you may get more urges, but if you are at the gym seeing results & it is giving you more confidence then you may no need P or PMO as you have found a replacement hobby!

    If that makes sense.

    Before I found NoFap, and I was trying to give up porn on my own, I found myself jerking off in the shower at the gym after a work out one day. Looking back, that was a sign that stopping porn alone wasn't enough, I needed to really reboot, and that meant no masturbation as well.
