This is my first post on nofap and I took a look at myself and I'm realizing that i've been looking at some pretty disgusting shit. I've started my journey and i hope to at least go 60 days. Ok so now on to the real problem, this morning I woke up extremley aroused and every part of my body was overly sensitive. I don't know what's wrong with me, i didn't masturbate but i keep edging myself by touching other parts of body, has anyone else expierenced something like this? Can you help me?
It's normal to experience a boost in "sex drive" your first week off of porn/masturbation, but the reality is that it's not an actual boost in sex drive, but more of a systemic craving that your brain is experiencing to signal you to consume more porn. It's your brain's way of saying "alright, I want more." This typically levels out and results in a flat line (for many) after about two weeks. The last thing you should do is entertain this signal by edging yourself in a sensual way (even if you're not touching your penis). You might find yourself a bit wired compared to the way you usually feel, so divert that energy and pent up urge towards something more productive. Don't tease yourself. It's the equivalent of being on a diet and then scrolling through the internet looking at pictures of decadent desserts. It's not the same as standing in the middle of a bakery looking through the glass, but both will increase the likelihood that you follow through with a "relapse" or a cheat. I think it's fine to have sexual thoughts, especially in the mornings, but don't physically stimulate yourself in any way.
