Thoughts and problems after 200 days

So today I hit 200 days of no PMO, MO and no porn.

However I am suffering some major withdrawals.
One is that when I get aroused by something, which can happen several times per day if I am say sexting with someone, I get a lot of pain in my lower abdomen, I also tend to get blue balls. This can last for a long time, usually the entire day and is very painful. Do you experience the same and what do you do to avoid it?

The other think I am thinking about a lot recently is why I am doing this. I in general think PMO every day or more is bad, maybe even a few times per week. But for me atm, I am single, alone, I see women everywhere and it's now summer so not much on. I get excited but I have nowhere to put this kind of energy. And yes I know the gym etc helps but it doesn't help with everything. M is not going to "help" but it might relieve me for a while. Why is it a problem if I MO say once per week? These kind if thoughts are creeping to my brain at this moment. I also expect this would help with the blue balls because one of the things you can do to get rid of blue balls is M.

Also I have been experiencing trouble peeing lately, it's like I want to pee, but the pee does not come directly instead I have to push it out. Not a nice experience and maybe one connected to not M? Or the pain in my abdomin and blue balls?

Anyone experience the same symptoms? And what is your cause for not M without the P. I dont believe in the sperm retention so that's not something for me. I also do have sex, but it does not happen every week, more like once per month or once every third month at times.

 

Hey I agree. But this is someone I will meet soon. Othwerwise I would not hurt myself this way. So lesson learned but it's also hard to avoid. I don't send explicit things etc but even minor things and my brain is starting to spin. Well you know.
I do not PMO or MO though and I think I might have become either more sensitive or just that before I always PMOed and then it felt like the pain went away after a while.

 

Do you mean not MO and PMO or do you mean the texting?

 

I am also leaning towards this tbh. Now I will not do it for maybe another 2-3 weeks but then I might. Do you?

Well it's kind of sexual a lot but not always. What surprises me is that I can get a bit aroused but not in anyway get a boner and after that stomach pain and blueballs for hours.

I don't want to return to PMO but I also don't want to feel this way, because it's like having stomach pain every day, which sucks.

 

I am not sure. It started as a test to see if I could stay away from the P and the PMO. I am very stubborn in some ways so when I decide I decide. I have already met my goal which was 6 months. It's hard to believe I havent watched any P or MO in such a long time. I am starting to see the advantages and drawbacks of these choices.

 

So you don't, but you promote it for others? I do believe that MO is good. And by that I mean if you look at it from a physiological perspectiv it makes sense to do it now and then. My goal was always to kick the PMO to the curb. I am not sure I had a problem but I did watch P maybe 2-3 times per week. And I can now see some psychological factors in which porn has affected me. It's to me like anything you feed yourself with. After a while you get used to it and even numb. My goal was therefore to one -stop the "addiction" that I was seeking it mostly when being sad or bored. Two- not letting it interfere with real life, like getting a bad boner because I watched porn or not feeling excited about real sex becuase there was always porn etc.

And besides, I am a competetive person so counting stuff triggers me a bit as well. However I would never chose to say no to real things to live in celibat. It's not my path.
