    I'd really like to know what everyone does as soon as that urge kicks in. How do you control yourself? What are your personal techniques? I find that standing up and stretching, or just giving my legs a good shake helps me take my mind somewhere else. Jumping on this website of course helps a lot too if I'm on the computer.

    Well don't think about your dick for one. Splash cold water on your face. Think about something completely different like explosions being superman and flying. But know that you can never truly quit it until you can push through the urges and you will have them all you life.

    But realize that will power is hard to have its there and it isn't. But just running to go outside works. You'll have to see what works for you but usually I have to change what I think about because thats where all urges start. And you'll always have random thoughts but you have to get rid of them dwelling on them makes you relapse. well its made me relapse. good luck man

    Well challenge. If your not already taking cold showers then start! Before when I tried to abstain from PMO I would go 3-7 days and then relapse. I would get these killer urges to fap, I now think, because I wasn't used to body discomfort. Now that I'm taking cold showers I get to experience true body discomfort and now that a boner pops up or I'm feeling horny I squash that urge like it's nothing because I'm used to that discomfort.
    Hope that helps.
    Peace love and stay clean. :)
