    I personally haven't had that particular issue, but I would bet all my money that it isn't anything that will go away on its own. I definitely suggest you talk with a CSAT counselor about this.

    I would believe it's more common than you think. Also, definitely agree with @Joe1023, the more support we can get with this thing, the better.

    The NoFap community has been a fantastic tool for me to leverage in conjunction with quality therapy, 12 step meetings, and numerous other recovery based tools.

    Wishing you the best!

    Glad you stepped in and provided this resource for OP. That's why I absolutely love this community. It's great when we find common bond and take action to work together for the greater good.

    Though I don't struggle with SSA, I am married and have other struggles with escorts, illicit massage parlors, and video chatting. Similarly to the SSA threads, I've bonded with others struggling with escorts and video chatting.

    Definitely feeling grateful right now. Wishing everyone the best!

    If you are attracted to men, you ain't straight. You're probably bi.

    I did nofap for 60 days, no sex with my wife either, and did pretty good.
    We finally had sex, and I feel like it made my craving worse! What does it mean?

    I did 60 days hard mode and now back to sex...
    But now after having sex I'm having strong cravings

    I notice the same after having time with my wife. Cravings will be stronger, because your body wants more. Additionally, my mind will feel less motivated toward retention, my fantasy will also be more tempting. The good news is it only last 48 hours for me, so if I can retain and focus on NF benefits during that time, I can return to my retaining mindset. I spoke to someone else about it who has been here a while and they said it used to be talked about as the chaser effect. Do a NF word search for chaser for more information.
