Dear Fellow Fapstronauts, I am a sixteen year old straight male who loves ballroom dancing (please don’t give me crap for that ). I take ballroom dance lessons at a high school on the other side of town from this really cool dance pro. Once a month he puts on a big dance where he invites the entire school so we can show off our dance moves. All the teens that go to that high school are really good dancers as well. Just a side note, I haven’t PMO’d since joining NoFap. Well… to my problem. I am not being a pervert during the dances… In fact I am very respectful to the young ladies. None of it is erotic or sexy, but being in contact and holding the girls close to you always gives me crazy PMO cravings the next day. I am usually 1 month clean until the day after these dances, and then I watch porn and masturbate. The dance is tonight, I am still new at all of this, and I need help and any tips anyone can spare! I can’t stand to relapse again! I don’t want to fall again! ~Squeaky Soul
I remember I had the same problem back in high school. It wasn't ball room dancing, but more choreographed stuff that we performed up on stage. And I would get really horny and feel strong cravings afterwards, because the girls were hot and I had to touch them. I don't have any advice, but you have my sympathy! It seems like you may make the nofap process harder on yourself as long as you are choosing to participate in this.
OK, if you seriously don't want to fap, right this second arrange to do something tomorrow. Just text a friend and organise something now, baseball, a mall trip (haha sorry I'm British), anything. Just make sure that the day after this dance you are busy. If you're busy, your mind is kept occupied and you won't want to fap. If you genuinely feel like you can't control yourself, which is nothing to be ashamed of, simply don't give yourself the opportunity. Remember, you control your body not the manipulative chemical reactions occurring in your brain.7 Stay strong man, good luck!
Did you try listening to music and dancing on them at home? YOu will think of something else and you will tire your body.
