Early morning horniness and how to prevent

Feeling that way when you wake up needs a plan. Give yourself something else to do in the morning, work out, running or a walk. A new routine.

 

Do you use an alarm clock to wake up? What time do you go to sleep and when do you wake up? It's a fact that hormones peak in the morning. Interrupted sleep is also an issue since you may not be clear enough mentally speaking.

 

I get up without an alarm clock

 

Here, have a cookie.

Morning wood is great. Appreciate it. Lot's of men don't have it anymore and wish it back. You know the best solution? Get a girlfriend and make her feel fantastic with it. Don't have a girlfriend yet or can't see her? Jerk off! (But no porn!) It activates your circulation and is an efficient way to start up your system in a pleasurable way. Or just get up and do stuff, shower, work out, blabla.

 

I disagree man don’t masturbate this is probably why your even on NoFap. But besides that I think that ejaculation leads to anxiety because I believe that our sperm has chemicals inside that makes us relaxed and without it we become anxious

 

If your really horny in the morning you should take a cold shower but it has to be like really cold

 

Most people come here because of their porn addiction. Masturbation on it's own is healthy when you don't overdo it. You need to keep using your penis if you want it to work for a long time, that's what urologists say.

That's wacky pseudo-science bro. You're relaxed if your life is in order and you're anxious when you're not doing the things you're supposed to be doing.

 

In my experience to stop the intensive sexual arousal in the morning, you should have a structured routine or you can call it rituals, First, you have to have some kind of important work to do or maybe a dream to chase or even a hobby that you really want to pick and learn.

second, You have to wake up at a specific time and force yourself to wake up no matter what remembering that to have some important work to do.

third, Go And clean yourself up then I highly suggest you meditate for 15 minutes or more if you want. IT'S THE SECRET

fourth, Go and have a breakfast preferably a healthy breakfast.

fifth (Optional but Amazing), Pick your headphone and go for a walk for 10 or 15 minutes while listening for a good podcast or Nice non-aggressive music.

sixth, start your day

The top secret here is to never touch your phone or use the internet in any way unless you go through your entire healthy routine.

It's a really great thing and it's been effective and productive for me.

GOOD LUCK

 

Not true, masturbation without porn can trigger the same neurological pathways in the brain as porn usage... do not masturbatr or watch porn at all for full recovery. The body does not need masturbation, it can take care of itself.

My advise, get out of your bed and start your day. Do not browse or look up hot girls on Instagram or Facebook. Just start your day.

 

Of course it triggers the same pathways, because you do the same thing as you do when you watch porn! But just for your information, you can't "design" your neural pathways, all you can do is change your habits. Good habits lead to a healthy life. Masturbating isn't harmful if it isn't overdone. Even porn isn't harmful if it isn't overdone. But we here can't handle it, so we ditch it. Doesn't mean you have throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Right, that's why we have to go find food, have to maintain a stable social circle, need to find a purpose in life, need to brush our teeth, because the "body can take care of itself"? I don't think so.
If you have a girlfriend and have regular sex you may not need to masturbate. But if you don't I highly discourage people from not masturbating for months on end. It's bad for your dick, it's bad for your libido, it's bad for your prostate.

 

The body takes semen in your body or releases it once in a while through a wet dream. We do not have to masturbate, the body takes care of itself on this part

 

Do not do this, this is very bad advice.

It literally isn't, the role of morning wood is to maintain the penile integrity/structure. You don't need to do anything else with your penis. The prostate thing is a myth.

You do not need to masturbate, old semen is broken down and reabsorbed. Wet dreams, especially in fully functioning adults, are abnormal and a sign of an underlying problem.

 

Nah it isn't. It's an efficient way to take care of a need.

You don't have to use your penis, you also don't have to work out. But it works better if you do.
The prostate thing isn't a myth: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27033442

What is a myth and in no way scientifically proven is the whole sexual transmutation stuff, where you transform excess semen into superpowers.

Was talking about prostate, not semen.
Also your libido will be reduced if you don't ejaculate for long periods of time. The strength of your libido basically comes down to the amount of certain hormones in your system. As soon as your body registers that you don't ejaculate for a long time it will reduce the production of these hormones, because it's going to use those resources elsewhere.
Which is why people have long flatlines. If you don't care about that, fine. Some people on this forum might be interested in a healthy sex life, which entails masturbating once in a while when you can't have sex. Again, it's not a requirement, but you will be hornier over all if you keep up a steady number of ejaculations each week.

Apart from that it feels great to do it and there's no harm in it if you don't overdo it.

 

Yes it is a very bad advice. That is not a need, you do not need to ejaculate.

Incorrect, the morning wood is the work out for the penis.

The study you link is exactly the culprit that spreads this myth. The study does NOT differentiate between ejaculation from intercourse and masturbation, it simply assumes they are the same, when in reality they are physiologically different, prolactin spike for example is 400% after ejaculation from intercourse https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11166491

More so, there is a huge study (6k+ sample) on catholic priests (celibates) and they had LOWER prostate cancer rates than the general population. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7242091

So please, for the love of God, stop spreading myths.

I don't argue for sexual transmutation stuff, sex is very healthy if you can have it.

The prostate does not engage in seminal production if you are not sexually aroused (and close to ejaculation). If you are sexually aroused solo and reach that point, you have other problems you need to address.

Absolutely not.

You don't need to be horny all the time, you need to be horny when there is real opportunity for sex. Go 1-2 months without masturbation and you'll be attracted to all the women.

Heroin feels great, so does procrastination, probably fucking a goat feels great too, that doesnt mean it's green light to do it. "It feels good" is not an argument for a behavior.

 

Two best practical tips in my option are:
1: keep the phone in distance
2. get under COLD SHOWER!!!

 

Eh when you're horny you have need. Go jerk off, cum, move on. Problem solved in a happy way.

That doesn't make masturbation NOT workout for the penis, so it's not incorrect, Mr. I'mRight.

Who gives a damn about the prolactin spike, if you don't use your organs they deteriorate! It's the same rule for every part of your body! Your lungs, your brain, your muscles, your cardiovascular system, everything! You have to use it or it loses it's functionality over time. Nobody's forcing you to stop your abstinence streak you crazy monk, but please, people have been jerking off forever and just because it contradicts your belief system that it's harmless doesn't mean you need to defend it with none sense. xD

First of all it's a fallacy to assume correlation between their lower prostate cancer deaths and their celibacy.
Second they only looked at deaths, not the state of their prostate.

*cough*

Yeah, if you're going to not ejaculate for 5 month and then go have sex you're going to suck at it compared to someone who's masturbated, let me tell you that.

Exactly, it's inactive, which is BAD. You need to keep your organs ALIVE. You need to keep them WORKING. Your body isn't bank to store away money/energy, it's there to be TRAINED. Just like it isn't healthy to be in a super-hygienic environment all the time, because your immune-system deteriorates. But you would never recommend somebody to get sick right? Yet you absolutely NEED exposure to sickness inducing viral and bacterial organisms in order to stay strong and healthy.

Why not? Why's masturbation so bad in your book? Because "it leads to porn"? Dismissed! It doesn't. You lead you to porn.
Because it makes you "depressed"? Dismissed, it makes you depressed if you don't have your shit together in your life and your main source of dopamine is masturbation.
Because it "takes away your energy"? What? I go do sports right after I've jerked off and feel literally no difference to other times. These are stories NoFappers tell themselves because they're so desperate because of their addiction that they get radicalized on this forum to start to believe in silly things like that.

I don't want to be attracted to all the women. I want to be attracted to my type of woman. It's not freaking natural to sexually starve yourself until you'd be ok with fucking a 200 pound whale. Opportunity for sex is regularly there when you have a gf but not always in the same amount and timeframe. And inbetween you can jerk off and keep yourself sexually hungry. Because you lose that hunger when you go 7-8 days without touching yourself. It goes down. You're still horny when you see here, but not as horny as when you've masturbated 3-4 days before.

Heroin does feel great I'm sure, but there are better drugs with far less downsides, like MDMA, LSD, Cannabis, etc. So go for those. Procrastination doesn't feel great. And "feels good" is definitely an argument for a behavior. I'd say it's the core argument for most behaviors. It sometimes just doesn't outweigh the downsides, like in the case of porn. But hey, it definitely outweighs the downsides of masturbation, because there aren't any, as long as you don't do it every single day.

 

@StayClean&Proactive DUDE! I had the same issue and I don't have it anymore!

I'd get up in the morning and I'd have huge urges. Honestly, the first weeks were hard, so I had to have my roommate be a really active accountability partner for those first two weeks. After that, I just checked in once a week instead of once a day. There's three secrets I've found to get past it.

1. You have to put the phone AWAY from your room.
To best work with you brain, you need to set a time each night you put it away and when you allow your self to pick it up in the morning. For me, I get up at 5:30 and go to bed at 9:30. I put my phone on a table in my kitchen at 9 pm each night, and I don't pick it up until 5:50 when I'm literally walking out the door to go the gym. It doesn't matter what times you choose, just do it at the SAME time each day. I promise, this creates habitual pathways in your brain.

2. You need to get a set routine for you morning.
If you have time to do early morning web browsing, you have too much free time. From the time I get up, to the time I go to work, my morning is FULL. You're brain is habitually going to make you think about PMO, so you have to keep it occupied or else you are going to think about and eventually PMO. It's simple. So, this is what you do. You find a time to get up each morning, and the time you leave the house. You then create a routine that you do EVERY day for the time, that leaves no time for web browsing. I'd even tell you to keep the phone charging until you are walking out the door. Make a routine that doesn't involve your phone if you can.

3. Mental or Physical Exercise, preferably both.
You got to get your confidence in yourself up, cause you don't believe you can kick this morning PMO right now. First step, write a statement every morning telling yourself that you keep the promises you make to yourself. That will counteract the people and voice in your head that make you feel like you can't do what you commit to. Second, do at least 30 min of exercise if you can. You can take all the frustration, shame, guilt and anger and put it into whatever exercise you like. All those emotions have energy and you can either choose to channel it into exercise, or it will choose to make your urges STRONGER. Not what you want.

I've now moved on to some other challenges I've go to work through with my recovery from PMO, but I don't have to worry about the morning anymore because of those 3 secrets. Best of Luck!

 

Thanks for the ide..really good

 

Not going to waste too much time replying since you're stuck in rationalizing your behavior so hard.

Yes, telling someone to go ahead and masturbate is very bad advice.

I explained to you why your study is wrong and that there is NO evidence that masturbating is good for prostate. Nighttime erections/morning wood is how the penis stays in shape.
