Erections during Night

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Feb 12, 2019.

  1. Tried my first attempt last night. It didn't go as I thought it would.
     
  2. I tried to sleep with the pillow in between my legs, but it ended up being a constraint on my legs so I had to end up sleeping on my side again, but without my sleeping shorts and that ended up doing the trick for me.

  3. Oh great man. No extra arousal from being nude?

  4. Not quite. I tried sleeping nude, but I got so aroused that I couldn't stay comfortable and it didn't help that I kept rearranging the pillow (thinking that it would help me). I eventually put my boxers back on, put my pillow on the floor, and with just me wearing a shirt and the boxers, slept on my right side and that did the trick. I had no erections after that. I guess my body is trying to adapt to this new lifestyle and wants me to wait until I'm rebooted and have my hormones/urges under control before I try the nude method, but I'm going to try to order an actual body pillow and see if that will work since the pillow I was trying to use didn't help any.
     
  5. Ok cool. What works for one person isn't always going to work for another. At least you are trying! And maybe the proper body pillow will make the difference.

  6. I do hope so. Having a regular pillow felt uncomfortable. If you have any recommendations on what size and type of pillow I should have, let me know. c:
     
  7. I am, Jack. I'm trying my absolute hardest. I'm giving it all or nothing. :cool:
     
  8. Body pillow. It's a one size type thing.

  9. Oh, okay. I had never heard of them before until yesterday and so I thought they had different sizes, but I guess in this case, one size works well for all.
     
  10. Yes and I hope it works for you my brother. I am concerned that you find a sleeping solution that works for you.

  11. I hope that it works for me also, brother. I enjoy the side position since it decreases the erection factor, but miss the stomach position due to how comfortable it felt. I'll find a position even if I have to have some sleepless nights doing so. c:
     
  12. That's the spirit! I only started using body pillows when I stopped sleeping with Tavon. He was my body pillow.

    You live at home while going to college?

  13. Must've felt weird for you going from a human to something made out of fabric, foam, or whatever a pillow's made out of, lol.

    I do. There's a community college like five minutes from my house and I'm trying to get into an online program since I want to save money and get a degree without it costing me an arm and a leg.
     
  14. That's great man. And you share a room with a brother?

  15. Unfortunately. Our house only has four bedrooms and so, me and one of my brothers got roomed together and it's been like that ever since we've lived in our current house.
     
  16. Is he older? Does he know about your csa? Does he have a PMO habit?

  17. Yes, he's older. Even though he's older, we're like polar opposites to each other. My parents say that we're more like different people than siblings. No, he doesn't know and I'm fairly certain that he doesn't have a PMO habit.
     
  18. Alright, so an update about this: I'm now at the point that I've almost can sleep nude. I've slept in just my underwear, on my side, and I've not gotten any erections during the right. I might try the nude thing tomorrow since it'll be Day 40 and I want to see if that will help. Only bad thing is that I had my first wet dream almost two weeks ago and I'm afraid to sleep nude and have another one come, but I think that's a risk I'll have to take when doing the nude experiment once again now that I'm over a month into this and see if I don't get aroused the second time around.

    So, Jacky, you'll have to read my journal entry for more information on that, but I just found out recently that he does, in fact, have a PMO habit and is seeking to get rid of it. And did you mean ssa instead of csa? :p
