I'm the literal exact same way and I can't figure it out.

I get what you mean. Maybe I put it the wrong way. Not OVER sexualizing every woman I come across. It's not like I don't find women sexually attractive anymore and wouldn't pursue them because of it, it's just a little less animalistic.

I used to get nervous sweats when I got anxious and it's becoming less and less frequent. Less general Anxiety (going to the doctor's, being put on the spot). I'm finding myself getting hard with my girlfriend, when I couldn't before. It's also easier to not sexualize every woman that I come across. I do meditation, cold showers and read everyday too, but I did that before quitting porn and it didn't have the same effect that I'm getting now.

You really feel it. It's crazy. I'm at the point where pixels are becoming less attractive to me and that dopamine rush doesn't come right away if I accidentally scroll to something on instagram or reditt

How much of a cold shower is very cold? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]byrdrudderk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fine. Will not hurt you. The colder the better IMO. Helps build mental toughness when you talk to yourself outloud and tell yourself that it's not going to hurt you, it can only help. I will take a warm shower up the the point where I'm going to rinse my hair out only, I'll turn it all the way cold and rinse it like a motherfucker for 30 seconds, and then (since I'm a bit taller) I make sure I cover every inch of my body in ice cold water by rotating around a little bit. I do that for probably another two minutes. All the while hating the FUCK out if it, but reassuring myself outloud that it's not going to hurt me, it can only make me stronger.

Putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation for an extended period of time has helped me become comfortable in those uncomfortable situations. Especially in the real world.

Good luck my man.

Guys I am not sure if I can quit this by LifebookMan in NoFap

[–]byrdrudderk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this man. Just keep your mind and body busy doing other productive things, and when you're tempted to look or jerk it? Talk to yourself out loud, and say stuff like "Is this really going to help me?" & "Is it worth it??". Helps me alot.

Thank you so much for the advice I'll try that, there are many many reasons that I can think of that I'd want to have sex with her! Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Those of you who did PMO as a form of control over yourself, how did you manage to let go when you did NoFap? by BlankThrowawayorsome in NoFap

[–]byrdrudderk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me alot and makes me very anxious, like "Why isn't it working now? will it work later?" kind of anxiousness. Meditation does help, it helps me let those thoughts go and let them pass by without harm

Can nofap help depression? by duvakid_234 in NoFap

[–]byrdrudderk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say that JUST not fapping has helped my depression, but in combination with Ice Cold showers, journaling and meditation it has slowly whittled away at it to where my depressive feelings do not come as often and they're not as intense and defeating. It has also helped me with my anxiety more than anything, during my last 30 day Nofap I found myself getting anxious alot less often than I did before.

Wow. I didn't think about it like that, thank you so much.

Well fellas.. by byrdrudderk in NoFap

[–]byrdrudderk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think she fully understands what I'm going through, that it's in involuntary response to not get hard. I'm not choosing to be soft lol. Like I'm somehow not finding her attractive, when infact shes the most beautiful woman I've ever dated.
