I just learned this but every time I’m doing nofap get better & then get with a girl I get the chaser effect & pmo & stuck in the cycle. I didn’t know it was called the chaser effect. How does the chaser effect work on your mind after s? How can I prevent it What can I do to manage better?
In short, having an orgasm makes you crave another orgasm. It's like your mind says, that was nice, let's have another. A little different than drugs and other addictions, after having that orgasm it might be a few hours or even days before the craving for another kicks in. How to manage it? Avoiding orgasms is one possibility. Another is "self-knowledge" - after having an orgasm, know that you will need to be extra vigilant, especially in the first 5 days after that orgasm. In time, the chaser effect may become a little less intense, or you may find yourself craving sex again rather than PMO. Even after a few years of this, I still crave MO after having an O from sex.
And some smokers deal with the symptoms of withdrawal by smoking until they die (and some live a long time). It's a free world, man. MO all you want
