The Coldshower experience

"The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it."
-Molière

Okay guys, so I was reading through the forums of NoFap and I came across a thread about coldshowers. Now I had previously known that a lot of fapstronaughts use cold showers to distract them from their sexual thoughts and like I get why they would use that but I always thought that it's too extreme of a measure to control their urges.

As I read through that thread, I saw a lot of people appreciating the coldshowers not just for the distraction but for it's other benefits such as more productivity and discipline. Basic idea was that by getting out of your comfort zone (heavenly warm showers) and stepping into the challenge (devilish coldshowers) you grow as a person as you're ready to do things that are tough.

Now I'm a very careful person, the thought of a coldshower brought in all the ideas of how this could go wrong; Hypothermia, Cold, Frostbite (yeah). So I went on google and read about it and guess what? It's as safe as a celibate is from STDs. Ofcourse there were a few people that said it could cause all of the above but I mostly found them on Yahoo answers so I'm guessing they were like me (filled with preconceptions about things they don't know).

So I went ahead and gave this a try. And guess what?
I FUCKING LOVED IT!!
I felt like the world's strongest man! I've never had a coldshower before this but now I'm going to change that and take one every morning.
I felt like I achieved something and I'm guessing starting your morning with this belief that you've already achieved something would make you automatically feel like a winner throughout the day. Along with that champion feeling, I had a lot more energy and felt less cold than usual. I also was able to pay more attention to things

Before stepping into the shower, I did the power-pose for a minute to get my testosterone up and the fact that I'm doing NoFap already gave me an edge (no pun intended lol).

So guys, I really do recommend you to try this one out, it's worth feeling like a champion after a shower.

Go for it,

Well from what I've read, cold only happens through pathogens not the temperature but then it's funny how cold usually picks up in the winter. Anyway, if it did bring you problems then I see no use of it for you.

Also that video is amazing! Chaplin really had it sorted out eh?

 

Totally worth it!

Each to his own but my personal benefit was feeling like a champion after completing the shower.

That's a different issue then lol

 

I guess you have to really believe that it's gonna help to make it effective, believing in something can do so many changes in the right direction.

Well,
1) Harder to not think about sex - Yes that would happen but army people transmute their sexual energy into something more productive. After all, the sexual energy is the most powerful energy we have, transmuting that would make you better in other areas of life. So yes it would be harder but try to use that energy to do something better in your life.

2) Erection in cold climate - I don't know about the tight underwear but being in cold will reduce your ability to get an erection. Just go take a coldshower and see how your penis shrinks. Heat expands and cold contracts right? But I feel coldshowers increase your testosterone psychologically because you're doing something so difficult that once you're done with it, you can only feel like a champion.

 

Good luck! We all need it when it comes to coldshowers. :O
