This forum member refined the technique for shower takers:
Shower logistics
Had to do this twice today to ease the horn and it worked great.
a. Select cold but not full shock cold.
b. Stand like a sumo wrestler. Saves it going all over your legs.
c. Spray your bits all around. It’s a shock.
d. Then select full cold. You will start breathing like you are lifting a heavy weight.
e. When your dick looks like a half eaten chipolta you’re done. I could not take more than 30 seconds.
f. If you’re still thinking anything sexual, the water is not cold enough.
Another guy uses a dipping technique, also favored by the ancient Chinese Daoists:
When I had really bad cravings last night, I decided to try the cold water trick I’ve read some people talk about here. Since it was late and I didn’t want to get in the shower, what I did was take a small bowl, fill it with freezing cold water, and put my area in there. It was hilariously painful, and if you do it long enough, the cravings really do go away. So for anyone reading with cravings, use this trick! It really works! Every time I go in the shower I’m probably going to use it even if I’m not horny, just to stave off any cravings as much as I can.
The sink method:
Since I only have a shower and no tub, I just kinda hung my junk over in the sink and ladled cold water over it with my hands. It definitely kills the cravings. It’s also a good way to wake up.

I take cold showers a lot of the time – really like them. It’d definitely be good to remind myself to jump in there when things get bad. Cold Showers give a similar feeling to the feeling I now have from these Tibetan Exercises – The energy spreads out all over the body.
Another guy:
If you are feeling overwhelmed go to your nearest showerstation and take one. You might want to start easilly and begin with warm. But slowly turn that knob towards colder and colder. Then go in for the trill and go in to the moment of shockingly cold. I have used this sucessfully when I was about to start going up the walls.
Another guy:
I’m a 15 year old who is about to leave on vacation, and the drive is two days each way. In the last hour I took a shower and looked myself in the mirror. It’s a hot afternoon; my favorite time to masturbate. I thought, “I don’t wanna be stuck in the car ride with a boner, I can continue nofap when I get back.” I argued with myself for a couple minutes.
I got in the shower and started edging, thinking that I could save myself; and if I don’t, then it’s no big deal. So I fapped. I reached the buildup. Then the most incredible thing happened. I turned the hot water off. [No climax] When I got out of the shower, I felt proud of myself. Kinda felt like a superhero. I felt my confidence rush back into me. I could see in colors. I feel powerful. Confidence and self-control was ultimately my goal of participating in nofap, so I’ll
keep my counter running. This’ll be hard to describe. Before I popped, I felt a flashback of my feelings afterwards, and I felt the feeling of impending regret and self-hatred. I remembered a post saying cold showers kills the urge to fap; so I thought with my brain instead of my dick, and I went for it. It worked.
Another guy:
Put an ice pack on my groin. Kind of a desperate measure, but necessary. The cold keeps erections down and generally makes it had to gap(feels pretty damn good as well). As my lust goes down, my confidence rises.
Another guy:
The image of me doing this is ridiculous but it is what works for me. I take a large ball jar (no pun intended) you know the canning jars. . I guess a large glass or mug would work but the jar is the perfect size for me .. I fill it halfway with ice and to the rim with water.. and then.. emerse my whole penis and testicles in it.. firmly pressing the rim of the jar all around the base of my entire business do to speak.. including some of my perineum or taint. I usually do this over the bathtub because overflow happens.. but depending on how engorged or not you are you can estimate less displacement and not fill the jar as much. I emerse for anywhere from a few seconds to a couple minutes.
This is not as difficult or uncomfortable as it might seem. I know a cold shower or cold body bath or cold penis rinse might have the same effect but for me I hate getting my whole body wet and cold. I don’t even like much cold water running down my inner thigh. So the jar works. Oddly enough it suppresses my mental desire for a while. It also feels emotionally for me like I am tangibly doing something to help my feverish desire. Like the action of using those water vapor cigarettes to help some obcessive object in mouth inhale satisfaction without the chemical release. Again my oddness here but showing attention to my penis to actively alleviate my desire and placing it and my testicles inside something with care and a little activity seems to emotionally satisfy something. Along with the icy cold palpably reducing some flood of chemicals my testicles must be making. The ice water shuts the party down… I’m just sayin. I have just thought of a name for my technique.. Ice Tea Baggin. Nothing to do with taxes. 🙂
