I sleep naked. Sometimes I kind of have my hand down there and feeling but not masturbating. I do this often. Is this detrimental to a reboot? Also I've heard sleeping naked increases testosterone so should I sleep naked?
Some people here sleep in underwear/ pyjamas because they say it keeps them from touching themselves. Imo that is not necessary. You can break the habit of reaching down and fondling. The extra barrier of cloth will not help much, in fact I believe that it might even cause you to reach down more often to "readjust". My opinion is: fondling one time but than leaving your privates alone is not enough to justify a reset. However, if you catch yourself doing it very often, you should address this behavior and include something in your personal no pmo rules to help you break the cycle. Every fapstronaut has his own set of rules according to his goals and problems. I am also very strict when it comes to casual fondling because I used to do it a lot. I think it helped to not do it anymore.
If I sleep naked I've got erection, so often I sleep in my pants, it's much more safe for your recovery.
A quick google search revealed that sleeping naked has a good reputation and can supposedly do a lot of things for your health. Haven't checked the legitimacy of any studies, though. Btw: I sleep naked as well
I do touch my cock a lot too. But I am trying to stop that. I do sleep naked, but that's ok. When I sleep with boxers I got a hard one too.
hallo from another horny nerd :-D I sleep naked from three years and i have not masturbated or put any porn on this month. Sometimes i just let my dick and balls just sit in like a cup of my hand. They are not massive, lol. i don't think it has got anything to do with a reboot. Someone said it is edging. But you can have your hand down there without masturbating or stretching out your orgasm. I get plenty of hard ones but that is ok we are horny boys right? Maybe nakedness gives more hormones. But as teens we've a lot anyway. Someone told me that being naked at night gives you better semen or sperm or both? idk horny nerd bro. :/
I also sleep bollock naked, nothing better than letting the old twig and dangleberries free on fresh bed sheets. I'm not a fan of having them being heated up like an oven overnight by wearing clothes/boxers in bed, so at least this way, it cools down everything from the waist down. There's many journal articles on google scholar that say that heat ruins your sperm quality, one of the reasons I sleep naked and have cold showers is because of this.
I’d like to clarify that reaching down to “adjust” is not edging nor does it count as a reset in any way. But if you’re doing more than that that’s where there’s a problem.
I went through this. And sometimes still do slightly. We have spent a long time focusing g heavily on our penis. It’s the center of my entire body. And I chose to fight the urge to touch myself at all. Sometimes I would wake up with my hands in my boxers or similar. When laying in my back my urge was to lay my hands on my penis. Forcing myself to not touch as best I could. And make this apart of my recovery has helped me to lose the unhealthy attachment to my penis. There’s still a connection to it greater than other body parts, but 6 months sober I can tell you that I think about it moreso how I think of my elbow or toes or something. It’s just another body part. Where before in my PMO addiction, I would be obsessed with it. And think about it all the time. It’s like having a crack pipe attached to your body. Rebuilding a healthy sex life is very imprtant to me and for me that involves me interacting with others and avoiding the self indulgence. I’m actually much happier when I don’t focus on my sexual connection to myself. I’ve revently realized this after months of reboot.
I don't want to touch my cock either. It makes me hard when touching it. As told, I touch my cock a lot, but I try to stop this. I think this is better for my recovery.
