Why do people say not to do this?

I've read a lot about other people's journeys and some of them give tips saying that I shouldn't think about girls in a sexual way, or that I shouldn't do this or shouldn't do that. (couldn't think of others at the moment) So do they say that because it releases dopamine or testosterone (one of the 2)? (no idea what it is or what it does) or just cuz it leads to relapse? I'm just asking because I want to get the full experience out of my journey.
 
I would say try not to think about women sexually because it is a temptation, which could lead to relapse. Not to say you won't be attracted to females just try not to think about them like that.

so then it doesn't involve dopamine release? cuz I heard that's what we as men are trying to save to be more attractive to women
 
I mean I'm not sure chemical have anything to do with it (they may). If I have a jar of cookies in the next room and I start thinking about cookies how good they look, how tasty they are, and so on. Then I'm going to want a cookie, I may try to resist eating a cookie but once I have cookie on the brain it is sooooo much harder not to go into the next room and get one because it is just that easy to get one. Same with thinking about girls.
 
Fantasizing over women while in a normal state of mind isn't bad lol. Neither is masturbation. But when you're addicted to PMO, your dopamine receptors, well, get fried. Abstaining allows them to heal and return to a normal state. It might be best to limit fantasizing during a reboot, as it does give off dopamime. However, being attracted to real women is a sign of healing so don't just disregard it.

Well I'm not sure if you are just lusting over girls like fantasizing if it releases dopamine but i know if you edge it does release it and it will hurt your reboot.

so is there a way I can tell if dopamine is being released?

Don't fantasize to the point where you're going to relapse, and remember that being horny is perfectly normal, and a good thing. It makes you want to go talk to girls instead of staying home and jacking off.

You might hit a flat line on your way and also in my opinion each streak is different which in return will provide different results but that just a theory of mine.

A flat line is when you have no urges but also have no energy or motivation. I just deal with it till it passes. With urges a take cold showers or just use will power to say no. When i have urges that's when the sexual energy is high and i try and transmute it to other things in my life sometimes i do it right other times not so much it a little difficult to transmute your energy.
 
How do you stay up to 159 days? I'm on the 27th day and I feel like my balls are gonna explode. I havent had any wet dreams tho.

If you were an alcoholic would it help to think about beer, tequila and vodka all the time? Or your favorite bar? Or liquor stores?
 
It's very hard for me too especially at the gym but I catch myself from staring too much and try to focus on my workout as much as possible lol I also see how my brain is always thinking about certain girls I see regularly at the gym and how attractive they are but I see how my mind wants that vizulation and fantasy so bad that I purposely try to deprive it and remind myself that's someone's daughter or mother and a human being and not a sex object and it's inappropriate to lust over someone you don't know it gets better once your awareness is sharper

I was just kidding haha. But I feel that my balls are getting bigger after not doing it for quite some times. Does any of the fellas here have the same experience as me?

I've got big balls, fancy big balls.

Yes I noticed after about 80 days or so my jewels felt heavier, looked bigger. No doubt filling themselves up with manic mojo.
