    Well, I'm watching a TV ad about true stories of people committed forbidden relationship. So, to make the long story short, I checked erotic true stories over the internet, only finding myself "rubbing". I almost O'd, but I immediately stopped after the realization. I'm 5 days without MO, as well as without P, so now, my man-member is a bit painful, like congestive. What should I do???? Please help. I don't want to MO, but I want to relieve this pressure pain in my groin area..

    Hello Chris,

    I think you should stop checking these websites. But after to make the urges to decrease go and pee. I know it's stupid but you should try and then try to put water on your sex. Dont even caress it. You will fall.

    It's very hard not to have any urges. You are in a normal process. I know what it is what you feel now so be patient and do something you like or you always dreamt to do. Go for a walk or go to drink a glass outside if you live alone :)

    Take care of yourself !!

    Thanks, Pics! But the pressure on my groin and pubic area is too much. Not that it's so painful or feels dangerous or alarming already, but you know, it's uncomfortable. How to deal with it?

    Cold showers help quite a bit. but it should go away with a bit of time. just let the urge pass and don't give in. It'll be harder for the next couple of days because you viewed triggering material. Avoid that stuff like it's the plague.

    Thanks. What do you do if you fail? What kind of punishment do I need to do? Does it mean that this whole campaign isn't working for me, and that I should quit altogether?
     
  6. hi chris...I also could not make it...get back up...believe you can do it.
     
  7. Fuck no. Just because you stumbled once doesn't mean you give up. You cannot change an addiction overnight. It takes practice. Remember why you started doing nofap in the first place. Do you want to back to that?

    You only fail when you stop trying. So get quitting out of your mind, and make yourself stronger by doing a little better every day.

    I would change your goal from 365 days to 7. When you make it to 7 you change it to 14. When you make 14 you change it to 21. Then to 30 days. Then 45, and so on. You'll have more motivation to make 7 days than 365.

    And finally, while I'm not a fan of "punishment" - maybe your punishment could be to stay off the TV for 2 days. That will help you also avoid triggers.

    Good luck, friend.
