Showering

Discussion in 'Compulsive Sexual Behavior' started by Deleted Account, Aug 12, 2018.

  1. I have a problem that for many, many years I used to M in the shower. It was s favorite place. Little clean up. Anyway, now that I’m doing nofap and have given up PMO I’m doing great with the no porn part but when I shower I am constantly being tempted b/c of past association with the showering/washing then M-ing my D. I have to shower. Cold showers help but I just cannot start with cold water shower. I do turn it cold most times if I start getting excited.

  2. I'm sure starting with the coldest water you can endure would help a lot, Just jump in! It'll be cold for about 30 seconds and that's it. It would probably help you because it wouldn't give you that time to get comfortable/excited. Try working out until your exhausted just before jumping in. You can do these in the bathroom, Burpees, Pushup, Stationary running.
    You're even gonna want a cold shower after that. :)
     
  3. I know cold showers work it’s just I hate the cold water. I don’t even go in the ocean off Maryland it’s too cold.

    Keep powering through and don't touch yourself whatsoever while you shower from now on - just ignore your erection and think about something else. Make your showers quick or distract yourself somehow - can you put music on, sing or even hum a song?

    Keep at it and eventually one day you'll shower, dry off and realise you didn't pop a boner the whole time. Good luck!

  5. Maybe on your most tempting days take a cold shower and if you're still tempted maybe while you wash your body turn off the water and you'll possibly be even colder making you go faster to finish up and then you'll still be especially cold when you turn it back on again..

  6. Things have settled a bit as Ive gone into flatline so it’s not much of an issue until I come out of it. But thanks. I hope I’ll need a cold shower soon. It’s weird not getting boners.

    cold showers have been a huge help to me. there is a ted talk about the subject. Many others are telling of benefits. Cold is uncomfortable to most everyone but it is only 2-5 minutes and it will remove the appeal to pmo in the shower. read up on it.
     
  8. This was the case with me and baths. I no longer take baths because the temptation is strong to MO. I don’t have a problem with showers. I get my cleaning done then get out. Maybe look up five minutes or less showers. In boot camp years ago we had to take quick showers. It’s actually pretty good for building discipline.

    Showers can occasionally be a problem for me too. When I think I'm going to be tempted in the shower, I'm going to limit my shower time to how long it's going to take me to hum the national anthem. As soon as I start humming, that's usually enough to kill any temptation.
     
  10. How in the world do you do burpees in the shower?

    He means before taking the actual shower, like in his bedroom or even in the bathroom if there is enough space! But I like your sarcastic question AuraQ xD It made me laugh
