    And I have feelings for her as well. The problem is that I'm about 2-3 months into the reboot and I can't stop thinking about her and I end up so turned on I'm almost shaking and I can't be like this. I'm probably gonna see her tonight and I was wondering if I should take of business before she visits, or what should I do? Don't wanna mess up my streak either but I feel like I have no choice but maybe there is some way to turn down my excitement? Help.

    If you don't get her, she'll find some other fellow.

    I think your excitement is healthy anyway. I would have a COLD shower before the date, and some meditation might help as well. I also watch kitties and puppies videos to turn me down. And just don't give in, and your body will release that energy asleep in a wet dream or something. Good luck

    What was your original reason for doing No PMO?

    Ehm, what does that have to do with my question?

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's hard not go give in since I don't wanna ruin it with the girl but I hope you're right. Don't wanna mess up the long streak either.

    I was very addicted to P and it ruined my life so I had no choice but to cut it out completely.

    Are you not concerned about losing her?

    That's not what I'm asking. And being afraid of losing her is not a healthy way of thinking. That'll just make you more likely to screw up.

    Do you think you can MO without P or fantasizing? That's another option. See Alexander's thread (creator of NoFap): https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...cessive-masturbation-can-be-a-relapse.175311/
    It may help take of the edge, but I would only pursue it if you know you can prevent yourself from going into PMO cycle. MO itself done in a healthy way is fine according to healthcare experts. The problem is how bad is your addiction? Just be honest with yourself, sometimes hard to do for true addicts.
    That's exactly right.

    Forget about that streak for now. Is my opinion.

    That is not like masturbating or watch P. Is just regular, natural, nice sex with a real partner.

    So enjoy

    Yep, but i don't really understand what's the problem here, that you want to masturbate before seeing her?

    My addiction was really bad so I'm not sure if I can even MO once. Tough decision to make but thanks for the suggestion.

    I'm not talking about sex but about taking care of business before meeting her so I don't start showing weird symptoms.

    Yeah, I feel too aroused atm, probably a combination of nofap reboot and really liking her.

    Well, i still don't understand the problem, are you going to rape her? Why do you want to masturbate?

    If you masturbate you could do better but also can do worst, it's your decision, i think you shouldn't, but i'm not in your place...

    Then the decision is made, you just have to overcome it and stick with No PMO before seeing her

    Lol no but like I said I'm almost shaking from the arousement but maybe it won't get worse and maybe it's my porn addiction trying to trick me to start PMO again? Yeah I think I won't do it. Ever since I started nofap I get aroused so easily but I hope it will fade soon.

    Like I said to the last guy maybe it's my mind trying to trick me into starting PMO again so I better stay away. Thanks.

    If you are far too excited, then it might lead to poor sexual functioning (I.e premature ejaculation) which would not be good for the relationship. Exercise always seems to calm me down so try that prior to your date. You can always put off the sex ( since this is your first date) on the pretext of gentleman-like character.

    All the same, I do recommend pursuing sex in the relationship eventually and not worrying about the streak. Streaks are not important by themselves. It would be best to rewrite neural networks so that you derive pleasure from real physical contact. In this way, perhaps your sexual release will become dependent on physical contact or affection and porn will no longer be enough for you.

    Plan to tell her about your NoFap journey, lack of confidence to control yourself, and how you thought about wanting to MO before seeing her and see how she takes it. That should settle things down.

    Honestly, Im just as confused as Matthew here...

    I believe you're looking for affirmation to PMO. I believe you're "looking for an one-night stand" rather than an 2nd date. I don't even think you really have feelings for your friend... You're just lusting after her. I say this because of the desperation and conflicting uses of words in this thread. You're questioning your own confidence because you are unsure...

    "maybe it's my porn addiction trying to trick me to start PMO again? Yeah I think I won't do it."

    You've been blinded sided with so much lust you can't even think about the first-date maturely. You're putting your Soon-to-be-Girlfriend on an pedestal and letting your lust control you. What have you been doing during your 2-3 month reboot?

    Now change my mind as to why I am wrong thinking this...
