I am getting strong urges to fap and touching my penis but i control them. I read in a thread that the more urges you have and the more you control them, you are healing better . Its like developing a muscle in brain and you are strengthening that part of the brain that resist urges by not giving in to pmo. So that part of your brain will become more strong and your brain will re-wire in a way that resisting urges will be easier in the long run. So, is it true that the more the addiction- the more stronger the urges, the more you resist, the better will be your healing from this addiction?
Im going through the same and i think alot of people have gone through this phase in this journey, just hang in there. And YES, the more strong the urges that means the more addicted you are, and the more you resist the better your healing will be because your brain will be trained to control itself and you will order you brain to remain in control. You will control your brain and not the other way around. Soon, the brain will be tired of sending urges to you because the brain will know that you will not act on those urges and the brain wont get a dopamine rush by pmo no matter how many trick it plays on you. Soon your brain will be forced to upregulate your dopamine receptors and find another source of dopamine like eating, excercise , talking to friends, social gathering etc. So your dopamine levels will be fulfilled by these activities and not just by pmo. This will be the time when you will be cured and your urges will be completely under control and you will not be a slave to dopamine rush by pmo because your brain would have upregulated dopamine receptors and it can get its dopamine rush through eating, excercise. etc and it wont be dopamine deprive. Enjoy this journey bro, and keep resisting the urges , in the end, you will be cured and live a happy life. good luck
I'm fighting my urgest now, and I find it difficult too to handle it but I'm sure that the more you will have resistance to these urges, the stronger will your will power become and healing will be faster coz your brain will fail to trick you into relapsing
During this stage you fight your urges. During the coming flatline, there will be no urges and the fight will be different. You will fight the desire to see if you can feel an urge. You may feel like you are sexually broken and may never have another erection. Be ready and stay strong, or you find your success in your relapse and reset. You are doing great, keep it up.
