Orgasm clears the head?

I think I know exactly what you mean...

I used to masturbate a lot, but after stopping I've realised that when I finished masturbating I was so motivated and driven and could just get shit done. one of the big reasons for quitting was me thinking :wow if I can get this much shit done when half the day i'm watching porn imagine how much I can get done with out it.

but yeah since I've started I just cant seem to get motivated and driven or even focus my mind on much. i'm always tired too....

I like to think that I will be able to replace masturbation in time, but at the moment I haven't been able to replace it with anything. I think for the brain to function at full you need some form of release - masturbation is one of these 'release' methods...but its just not a very healthy one. maybe

 

Actually, I've been feeling the exact opposite after starting nofap

 

That passes. Your brain is rebooting from all that stimulation you get when you orgasm. Stick with it and it'll fade.

 

I'm assuming you mean PM induced orgasms. In which case yea I kinda get that feeling. For about 5 seconds. After which I immediately start fading into procrastination.

Since I started nofap I actually feel quite the opposite of what you do. I'm exponentially more energetic & productive.

 

I'm just going to add that in the past (before NoFap) whenever I O-ed my first thought was the clearest. The best thought ever....or so I thought. Since I started doing NoFap, ALL my thoughts are clear. Comparing this to a few seconds of a random vivid thought...haha I'm years ahead.

I would suggest, to try out nofap for a week or two. See how you feel. Investing 7 days in to something that might change your life for good isnt that bad of a deal. Take a deep breath and let the journey begin


EDIT: Spelling

 

Hi, I used to smoke and drink and just after that first puff and swig I always felt my head 'clear' somewhat but eventually I realised I was puffing on a stick of smokescreen whilst downing a glass of illusion (see Buddah quote below)

This is only a suggestion but the 'clarity' you experience might just be the result of tension and release, or should I say the release you feel after the build up of tension (especially due to reversed blood flow) which ultimately leads to the 'explosion' of orgasm? Like I said this is only a suggestion but maybe have a read of this which I typed shortly after arriving here (when I was full of beans trying to make sense out of a few things which is probably why it's so long!)...
