    Do you guys think I can start masturbating (without ejaculation and any stimulants) in order to improve my longevity? I would like to do this but don't want to if it would mess up the benefits I will reap from NoFap.

    I have not PMO'd and have restrained from sexual activity for 23 days so far. I am doing nofap so that I may perform better with my girlfriend, particularly, I want to last longer. I believe that the way I masturbated contributed to this. If safe to do so, I would masturbate for periods of 20 minutes once or twice a day. This would be solely for the purpose of improving my longevity. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!!!
     
  2. What you describe could classified as edging, which most agree is just as harmful in a reboot as full on resets. You're still giving yourself that dopamine rush that your body is craving. You may find that your body doesn't respond how you want when you're with your girlfriend because you're still "training" it to respond to manual stimulation. Most would recommend that you completely keep hands off during the reboot.

    I agree with Jen. Keep your hands off. I think that is a slippery slope. You would probably end end in a full relapse. After 23 days? That's great just stick it out (no pun intended).

    Ok, thank you. I am away for college, and my girlfriend is back at home. Next week is winter break for me, and I will be spending that time with her. Is having sex with her ok to do during my reboot? It's tough because I don't get to see her often, and this is something she will surely want.
     
  5. I think it depends on what your goals are. However, I can give you my own opinion, in that sex during a reboot is perfectly ok! You're experiencing sex as intended, and not relying on artificial means such as PMO or MO. Real sex helps your brain re-wire to what is real. I would still recommend that you try not to fantasize about porn or other stuff while you're in the act, try to stay in the moment and stay present.

  6. I personally would not do it. Two major themes you'll find on this site that I agree with are:

    1. The PMO world and the real girl world are not the same and do not help one another. You should improve your performance with real girls by practicing with real girls.

    2. The benefits of NoFap are achieved through an all or nothing approach. Don't fall down the slippery slope.
