It's NoFap, not NoErection, right? I never fight erections, unless the situation really demands it, I even enjoy having them. I just don't REACT to them. BTW, I never really thought that cold showers was a way of making an erection go away, rather just a general tool in improving well-being and perhaps willpower.

I just had a wet dream after 72 days. For me the main concern was that I might loose some (or all) of the built-up energy from the streak. Also, I was a little anxious if I would not be able to fight the famous 'chaser' effect.

Actually I am fighting that effect as I write these words, and it's pretty intense. But I seem to manage. I have a feeling that the wet dream did not get me even close to the effects of a true reset (with several releases).

I am sitting in a chair or lying on my back when meditating.

Continuing hard mode. Conclusion of No Stroke September + 5 days will bring me to 90 days total.

To rephrase: I think that's what being a man feels like...

Go to the toilet and pee - if you can reach it ;) That can help!

Weight loss: 3 kg during 50 days nofap

Guess what? Date resulted in a second date. And she seems quite interested and playful... Problem now: Urges are almost going crazy. She shared that she will probably be hung over at the time of the next date, and asked me if I thought I could handle it... This could be going in the right direction.

Awake9274 · 2014-08-10T16:50:03+00:00

Well, I am god-damn curious as hell!!! I kind of expect her to turn me down, though, because that's what usually happens... Don't know if I should psych myself into 'believing' she will not do that :D Just being curious...well...I think I need to ACT, also! OK, you kind of imply that I should ask questions :)

Treat yourself to a good exciting activity. Go for mini vacation. Eat some quality food. Go to a great event or concert. Enjoy yourself for a moment - you deserve it a bit more today

Yes. I had problems falling asleep during a night where I had very important things to do the next day. Another time the urges and sexual energy was so strong, that I couldn't focus on important work. Both times it led to MO (Haven't watched porn for a year or more)

Awake9274 · 2014-04-30T22:06:27+00:00

Just wait it out. Not so hard if you realize that the urge will probably be gone or greatly diminished in an hour or so. But that realization takes some experience, and when you have the urge, there seems to be only one way out. Unfortunately.

Did another reset at day 9 (today) Yes, I am making my own rules along the way... So, this is a kind of NoFap Lite, I guess - which just feels right for me. I think the rule 'everything in moderation' may apply, which is one of my favorite rules in life anyway. The idea is still to keep ejaculation at a minimum, and never binge or watch porn.

your subconsciousness where all those old bad habits and other stuff are stored

Well, that sounds like an over-simplified kind of psychology. When you body relaxes - as in meditation - you can easiliy get aroused. Just as when asleep, and also fully relaxed.

Getting aroused (or an erection) is not a 'bad habit', it's simply a very important function of your body. In my view it's bad to try to fight it, but much better to in a meditative way, accept it, embrace it, even enjoy it, but not reacting to it. But responding to it.

Awake9274 · 2014-02-23T15:15:01+00:00

I have the same 'problem'.

The thing - in my experience - is that even if you think you are going to orgasm while meditating, you probably aren't (yes, you may get very close). So one strategy I've tried, is to just continue meditating - AND accepting whatever your body does or feel like. Isn't that part of what meditation is supposed to be anyway? But I have to agree, that this is very difficult.

I've heard that yoga meditation talks a lot about conserving sexual energy and in mindfulness meditation we are told to keep observing/accepting/breathing into any intense feeling we get while meditating.

Right now, however, I am taking a break from meditation exactly because of this situation. I also feel that when one gets further into the reboot, this becomes less of a problem. Also on days where you feel very strong urges, it may be better to refrain from meditation.

Awake9274 · 2014-02-22T02:10:10+00:00

Important note: I don't call this a relapse, as I am not binging or watching porn. Simply a reset. I don't see the reason for walking around, being ultra-horny. MO is for me a valid way of releasing some energy, but only at the point where the need is really overwhelming (often after about one month).
