    Hi there,

    I made it, 5 days porn free ! First time in years !

    I started on Monday morning. I felt things really started changing after a couple of days : no more brain fog / headache, better sleep, hunger and appetite under control, less socially awkward ... I did feel a little more irritable / anxious on Thursday, but nothing serious. And feeling I was taking control over my life was amazing. Some cravings / porn flashbacks here and there, but nothing overwhelming.

    However, as the days went by, I started feeling a tension building up in my underpants. Maybe it's the notorious "blue balls" syndrome ? It felt like my balls, prostate and lower stomach were so swollen and stretched, like fluid had been building up for days and couldn't find a way out. The pressure got so intense it was almost painful. I had to relieve the tension and relapsed on Friday. It all went away after PMO, but the headache, brain fog, laziness, time wasting and shame are all back. Maybe not so great of a deal. A shame, since I could have gone longer if not for the intense discomfort.

    Any similar stories ? How long does it last ? How did you deal with it ?

    Stick with it, and the tension will fade.
    One day, you find yourself in flatline and wish for the tension back. It is not an easy path, but you did put in a lot of work getting here.
    After you live on credit cards for a while, you have to pay them off. There is no free ride. Now we man up, settle down, and give it up.
    Then we can enjoy real relationships.
