    Got a quick question for y'all.

    I'm on Day 5 of a Reboot, and I notice that somewhere around here, I get really horny. Incredibly horny. But if I can ride the waves out till day 9 or 10, the urges to relapse lessen.

    What's the connection? I'm guessing it has something to do with hormones, and I would appreciate any resources that you guys have to share.

    I'm guessing it's just the brain starved of its usual fix. The thing with porn addiction is, the horniness seeks fulfillment (orgasm) with artificial stimulation. Even if you try to MO without porn or have sex, your brain hasn't taken the time off from any sexual stimulation long enough to rewire towards real-life sex. You'll probably just start craving porn worse if you do.

    I think someone said that testosterone peaks about 7 days into a reboot, so maybe that's it too.

    Thanks Kosh. I heard that about the 7 day testosterone peak...

    Does anyone have any articles that I could read?
