Has anyone doing NoFap experienced tingling sensation in their scalp?
After about 20 days of NoFap, one side of my head/scalp gets a tingling sensation, for about 5-10 seconds, a couple times a day, for about less than a week. Then they go away for a couple weeks, then return for a few days, etc. The tingling sort of feels like when your foot falls asleep, but instead of feeling bad, almost feels good, like goosebumps/chills.
However, after doing NoFap for a long time (90+ days), anytime I broke the streak and relapsed, immediately looking at an image of porn causes the tingling sensation in the head.
It's like the tingling sensation happens on two circumstances:
- When my dopamine receptors are healing from quitting porn.
- When I break the long streak.
Anyone else experience this, and know why it happens? Just genuinely curious about the science.
