Urges

Just don't jerk off, it's not that bad.

 

well watching porn is not going to help you. Its like trying to quite crack but still going to a crack house to hang out with your friends.
As for urges: i would find the triggers for those urges and found healthy was to deal with them.

 

I was about to open a thread about urges but it seems like you need more advice than I thought about.

Personally, I had this thoughts of semen retention could harm and stuff. After a year of experiencing it - it's total Bullshit.
I'm not a doctor but I'm telling you there's no harm, only good! The moment you do the bad thing you realize how good your life felt when you did semen retention which means there's guilt for a reason, we all have guilt for doing it.
Think about how far you can get people often talk about superpowers but it's not magic, if you sit on your butt and not changing habits or filling your schedule up it ain't gonna work right and be harder.

So my tips for preventing urges

Cold showers - The BOMB!

Running - I had an urge an hour ago from stupid advertisement , I was surprised to see how it's gone completely after a run.

Social media - Gotta get rid of it, if hard do it gradually.

There's much more I could talk about, honestly I'm running out of time but listen even if it may be hard for you you can definetly do it, stop overthinking and get to work.

 

It’s hard to resist urges! Your body wants to do what is natural and familiar and, for you, that’s fapping. Joe has some wisdom here : watching porn while on NoFap is akin to visiting the crack house while trying to quick crack. “It won’t hurt if I only inhale the fumes” - this is the level of sophistry (deceptive, fallacious argument) that your porn-riddled mind will conjure up to convince you that one more hit can’t be that bad.

Wrong! Catch yourself and then focus your energy on something else. Cold showers, running... all great options. Basically, do something somewhere such that you cannot possible fap. For me, it’s running outdoors or going into a public space, even if it’s just the neighbourhood park, until I cool my jets. Works wonders.

Resisting urges requires self-control. Self-control is a muscle; you must train your mind to be able to exert it.

And hey, we all fall off the horse. Don’t beat yourself because you gave into your urges. Learn your triggers and aim to do better next time.

 

When my brain does that I Play my own head, by stating and doing it only with my pinky, til my willpower comes back and kicks the addiction out, that way I never jerk off, but the best way is to enforce compassion into the fantasies that could make you fap.
