Thanks you for your questions. I will try to answer them one by one.
- What to avoid?
I believe that thereâs no universal tips for everyone, such as âdo cold showersâ, âexercise everydayâ, âdo journaling stuffâ and etc. They may work and may not work. Thatâs what you need to consider for finding the solution. But thereâs some principles, ideas
Thereâs thought that we relapse because of our thoughts, edging or watching to the naked women. I believe that this isnât correct. I live in a country where 80% of the women wear as open as possible, but Iâm still clean as you see.
I believe that the problem is with the high blood pressure in the underneath and false belief system. I know that it might sound unscientific and etc, but thatâs what i saw through my journey.
You masturbated a lot, so your body started to think that you need a lot of blood, sperm. But suddenly you stop doing it and your body is in the shocked position.
This guy wrote good summary on the topic of semen production: Book Summary- Why you should NEVER masturbate by David Baldwin - #3 by darshanp
Iâm not sure that this is 100% scientific, but anyway check it
So you need to do everything to lift your blood to other areas of your body.
By myself I used to live without any trigger, bad thought, but then suddenly I used to relapse. Why? Because I sat whole day on my butt and had a high blood pressure.
Other problem: False belief system
For example, you believe that if youâll see naked women - youâll relapse 100%. What are the sources of this belief? Yeah, you can relapse after peeking, but you may also not relapse. I saw a lot of the examples, when guys are relapsing and to the question âwhy?â, they answering that there were no options, theyâre âhotâ and all of this thoughts.
Examine every belief you have and then you suddenly will examine your belief related to masturbating: âdo I really need it?â, âdoes it gives me the satisfaction?â. Ask much questions as possible for finding the roots.
- Is it pixels or M or both or even edging, even thoughts or what?
I think I answered this question above. Solve this question by finding the roots of your belief.
- What is the minimum and maximum of these affairs?
Well if something bad, thereâs no maximum and minimum here) Thereâs no maximum or minimum of eating the pork, isnât it?
But I would advice you to not care too much on all of this. I used to be paranoic on this âoh no, i didnât do cold showers today, i will relapse thenâ, âoh no, i looked to female, itâs peeking - reset your streak immediatelyâ. Believe me, thatâs not how it works
- And if someone peeks should one immediately reset the timer or try to forgive himself and move on?
Well, it depends on you.
For the first 30 days I believe that streaks(maybe edging streaks) may be important, but then you donât need them at all, because you tend to think that the person who has more streak is greater than you. I have 1.5 years, but believe me, Iâm not a superman , I still make a lot mistakes and thereâs 100% people with streaks less than me, who has more success. Streaks are just a number. Donât concentrate on them. If youâll care about this numbers, youâll relapse
