I've abstained from masturbating for nearly 10 days, and have encountered some really weird and disheartening symptoms. I used to masturbate 4-5 times a day, and this was for about 5 years. So I was expecting some withdrawal symptoms, but this is really freaking me out. My normal erection is 6 inches. These have gradually become more prominent: My flaccid size has shrunken somewhat and has actually become rather rubbery. Veins are also quite prominent. I cannot get an erection anymore. When I get aroused, my penis gets longer somewhat but is still rubbery. Maximum length- 3.5 inches, and very skinny. My groin really hurts. I can't get any substantial sleep. I shiver regularly. I suffer regular mood swings. The thing that worries me the most is over penis size. I keep on worrying that it has shrunk, making me feel even more depressed. It's sometimes lifeless and also ultra-sensitive. I just feel I'll never be able to restore my original size, and then some. Apparently, people get bigger after nofap, but I'm skeptical. Are these symptoms to be expected? What should I do?
Just dont fap my man. These symptoms eventually go away. In fact, symptoms like these prove your body is recovering.
Don't Panic! After reading the success stories of a few other guys, I think that what you are going through is normal. As long as you continue to nofap, you may realize that everything is working the way that it should after a normal sexual interaction is initiated. But, don't feel weird.
withdrawls are your body and minds way of justifying and tricking you back into using your crutch. dont fall for it. you know this is worth it and that you were sick of needing PMO to be satisfied. dont give up and keep abstaining.
