Wet Dream Forum

reddit dot com slash r slash nofap

Never recommended a Reddit site before, but this seems to be another nice little resource. Registered users post their experiences. There are also links to scientific studies in some posts.

Something interesting: From what I'm reading, even those who are still sexually active should at least be able to stop their brain's association between pornography, masturbation, and orgasm/ejaculation if they abstain from masturbation for at least 90 days (or could this be masturbation AND pornography?). In other words, you should become more responsive to real live stimuli once you've un/reconditioned yourself.

I find this inspiring. It's nice to know a time frame to work with, as I do wish to rewire my brain and recover from overstimulation from PMO to enhance my real life undertakings.

Thanks for the link. That site is now one of my more frequently visited sites to help motivate me to stay on this wagon. I do wish it were easier to find the age of posters there. A few have talked about when they first started having WDs during their nofap journeys. I still would like to know when I should start to expect one at my age, if it happens at all.

Hell, I'd do a 90-day reboot if someone could look me in the eye and assure me I will have a WD over that time.

Yeah, I found this reddit, too. Wasn't really involved on Reddit before. Joined the No Fap for May "war"--still waiting to see which of the two teams I will be on.
But having that competition I think will help me commit to it.

Ideally, I'd like to complete the whole 90 day NoFap/PMO/Reboot process. But having a shorter goal (though still a tough one!) of 30 days will be a good first goal, and I can see how I'm doing at the end of that to see if I want to push for 60, then 90.

Wish me luck/strength/wisdom!

Hey, LuvsCurvy -- I don't think anyone can look you in the eyes and GUARANTEE you will get a WD during a 90 day abstaining, because it seems like some guys simply don't get wet dreams. But I think they are in the rarity, and there are guys who are older than us who still get them when they abstain. I can tell you that if your body is capable of producing wet dreams, and it seems like the majority of guys' are--then during the 90 days, and I would say likely w/in 60 days if not much sooner, you will get one.

I found in the past that I was the most likely to get a WD when I was thinking abt sex the least. So, for me, if you do the 90 day reboot, don't just abstain from MB; abstain from porn and porn like fantasies, too. If you are looking at porn during the day, even if you aren't playing w/yourself, your brain is getting some of that sexual satisfaction (albeit a very frustrating one!). If you abstain from that, then your brain will seek to stimulate the sexual fantasy sector while you are asleep. Combine that with full tanks, and your body is going to want a release sooner or later.

Just keep in mind that during a long abstain, you will feel very horny at first, then your libido will go on complete vacation for a while. That is when it can be just as tough to continue to abstain bec you want to make sure everything is ok, etc. You've got to push on through the duldrums to get to where your libido returns from vacation, refreshed, and ready to go, but also more stable. That is when, in my experience, you are the most likely to WD.

Go for it and good luck!!

I am ABing from the full catastrophe - P, M, MO, PM and PMO. I've never done it that way before. Usually by the time I'm approaching two weeks, I'm looking at images on flickr, thinking "it's not a porn site so it doesn't count". That of course is a cliff collapsing under my feet, and inevitably leads back to chatrooms and porn sites. This time, I'm snapping a virtual rubber band around my wrist inside my head every time I find myself even enjoying something sexual I read on here. This really is a reboot, pure and simple. I'm on day 19 today.

I was flatlining for the first 17 days. Urges didn't hit me until day 18 - my goal day. A coincidence? I'm not sure. In previous attempts, the first two weeks have been the hardest. Now it seems to have swapped over. But I'm keeping my goals bite-sized this time around. 18 days initially, then 21 days, 30 days, 34 days. The logical one after that is 40 days. I've done 33 days once, and to tell the truth, I'm getting kinda tired of going on about it so really want to beat it.

Good luck in your efforts. I too would really like to do a 90-day reboot. I had planned to do one starting at the beginning of this year, but failed at day 33.
