Hello Fapstronauts. I'm currently on day day 92 of no PMO. I flatlined from days 14-43 and have since begun to gain my sex drive back, as the primary motive for me beginning this reboot was to cure my PIED. I feel that though I've gained back some libido, I feel like it has stopped gradually increasing. I'm contemplating MO'ing to see if it will further increase my sex drive. Any advice would be great
Hey Jrobe, First of all, congratulation for 92 days of pmo free hope I can get to where you are soon... Second of all, by my self experience, M and O won't help either. In fact, they can damage your progress depending on what you are fantasizing... When I first tried to have sex I was watching P on a daily basis and had a weak erection so I wasn't able to put the condom without losing the erection. I got desperate at the time and stoped watching porn and masturbation. After one month I had one more opportunitty to have sex and yet it didn't work. When I was around day 60 of porn free I managed to have sex with no problem. Even nowadays, when I'm too stressed and start watching porn more than once a week my PIED starts coming back... So, to put short, keep going free from this stimulus but in case you want to test, go for M but without fantasizing about crazy things at all. All the best!
feeling rebooted means that ur sex drive has stabilized, u should want a high sex drive but not to the extent of doing MO.. Wat I mean is that u reached day 90, so at this point u shouldn't be experimenting.. Once u feel that ur not at risk for watching porn or masturbating excessively,, start to reintroduce is an MO once a week.. Quitting MO forever is a nofap myth.. There are so many benefits to moderate mo.. The only reason fapstronauts have this idea of permanent abstinence is because when we pmo excessively we make the practice redundant and then we start to think that it is.. When in fact being rebooted and once a week mo is something to look forward to and "me" time, no homo
Look up on google is MO healthy and ull find out.. There are also sources say mo is unhealthy.. Instead of deciding on one, I just make the conclusion that healthy depends on frequency.. When u think of soneone who pmod for 8 years, 5-8 times a week,, and they decide to take 6 months to reboot, and subsequent to that the reintroduce mo like how I said,,, then y would that person care about once a week mo when they compare to it six months ago.. If ur saying that the context of the mo I'm talking about is harmful, then everyone who is addicted or partially addicted to pmo will be completely incompetent..
I don't agree with masturbating once a week. It's oke if you weren't addicted, but if you are (probably cause your on nofap) you will rewind the addicted pathways in your brain... Seek for an alternative, let a womand do the job for you. This is much better and you will not feel guilty.
I say screw MO (still up to you), yes there are some "benefits" but those studies don't take in account the benefits of not doing it, If you think about it, MO is kind of a waste since you're not reproducing, Also I feel a lot weaker after MO so screw, I'd rather just O with someone else if I were you at this point.
Man join a gym you might want to Mo more but maybe thinking like ok, I like the feeling when me sack is full and lifting that what I did when I started. Dont even both Mo I agree with Larry Keep that strict counter until a female comes around but never go back to PMO
For many the goal is to quit PMO forever and by quitting MO, you can more easily cut out the P. I want to do this but I also want to quit MO b/c I believe it will make sex better. And hopefully all the other benefits everyone talks about.
You have gone this far don't turn back again. There was a time I was on day 40 or so and I'm MO. From that point onward I started PMO and all d abstinence was in vain. So bro don't go down that the lane of MO because it only leads down to PMO and PMO leads down to a world of constant PMO'S which is what we don't want any more
Until you can be intimate with a woman, I wouldn't even go there. Just think back to all those soul-crushing moments where you had a beautiful woman on your bed, someone who you think might even be that special someone, only to be unable to perform. She tells you everything is alright, but deep down inside you, it isn't alright at all, and your mind starts racing through everything you ever thought was wrong with you. Is that soul-crushing pain really worth jerking off all this hard work you put in. I'll let you be the judge of that, but if it were me, I would say HELL NO!!
