Mission Impossible??
 

Your mission should you choose to accept it is simple. Do not watch porn for two weeks. Ok before you start throwing bottles at me because I've asked to take away the most precious of viewing materials,
there is a method behind this madness. Let me explain.

It's an experiment of sorts.. just for the great members of TFP. I'm curious as to the effects of not watching porn when one is accustomed to watching it. Does it make you stress out easier? Does it enhance your love life? Do you find your fantasies more realistic and more vivid? Are you more open with your sexual partners? Do you find a new hobby? Do you get more accomplished at work? Around the house?

Now, here's a little helper. You are still allowed to masturbate. Masturbate as often as you have been or when you feel the urge. You just can't watch porn while doing so. This includes reading erotic stories, softcore (cable porn) or any other visual stimuli to achieve orgasm. If your S.O. performs a strip tease then that is most certainly acceptable.

Fantasy during sex play is often a good thing. So this is to see if not watching porn increases those fantasies or if they diminish. It will help us really get a feel for what we think about during sex play and how we can channel those fantasies into a better sex life. There are other factors as well but they obviously don't need to be outlined. If you agree to this challenge. I'd like to get feedback here so we can all learn from each other how we click sexually and how we grow (no pun intended) in the sexual realm.

Your mission begins as soon as you finish reading this. This message will self destruct in 3...2...1..

I accept. And to double it up, I'm not going to masturbate, either. Woooeey.

i'm going to fail

I failed already.

The proposal has been moved and seconded. I accept.

interesting. if my gf read this, she'd be like: "what?! you were watching some without me?!"

I'm in. I might have to format my computer and destroy my modem for this to happen! haha. 2 weeks. ok.

Ha my wife would say the same thing.

Anyone interested in this can come back and post day to day occurances and happenings.

I'm in. Shouldn't be too hard.

what about those of us that dont watch porn and rarely if ever masturbate?

They can't participate in this?

Well, you can count me in. I'm willing to participate in such a study if it will benefit mankind. What I am wondering though if this is all that hard or not. I'd be really surprised if I cracked before the two weeks, but I do not see it ouside the realm of possibility.

Will it enhance our lives? I dunno know, but it might loosen the grip of the masturbation habit, and maybe we'll be seen as normal?

I think this is indeed a venture of monumental proportions.
Giddyup y'alls.

I'm in. I decided yesterday to try not to masturbate until I get home from school and see my girlfriend, just to see if I can do it.

Twelve days to go.

failed less than 30 seconds after i read the thread... I love bobby's stuff in the "tittie board" too much...lol

Well then it obviously doesn't apply. This is for people who masturbate while watching porn alot, and to see if it affects their fantasy life at all..

It's really not about enhancement as masturbation is a normal part of life and shouldn't be seen as otherwise. It's merely an exercise to better understand how we function sexually, and how our brain responds to a lack of sexually stimulating images. I'm most curious on fantasy patterns and how they increase or decrease in kinkiness, vividness, and of course if they increase or decrease in time. Also, if it helps your sex life at all. These are the two main areas, but I'm interested in all results pretty much.

And no, I'm not in school so you don't have to worry, it's not for homework or anything. Just pure curiousity.

I don't really watch much porn these days anyway, when I masturbate it's over past sexual experiences, and I have a gf who's tits I can see. If I do come across porn though through my internet browsing though of course I look at it and get turned on, but I don't really go too much out of my way to look at it. Therefore, I'm in too.

ok. starting.... NOW!

I'm a bit antsy today,, but it's more a lack of food than an urge to see a girl getting rammed.

Mood: reflective

I failed while reading this.

failed.

Um, I was okay for a minute or two. I think I'll start later when I'm ready (what a procrastinator I am)!

You had me all the way up to this line...

Granted, that was only the second line, but I was totally invested in first sentence. ;)

I'm in.

I wanna see tits!!!http://smilies.vidahost.com/cwm/cwm/sd3.gif

LOOPHOLE!!

According to Shell Oil Co., Penthouse and Playboy are no longer porn... http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55248

Just thought I'd throw that out there. ;)


Oh, and it's been 2 days... so far I've held up just fine. My strategy has been to work out every time I feel the urge, and it seems to work pretty well. Anyone else have a strategy they're using?

well for this study, playboy and penthouse are still porn ;)

Perhaps I should say that no sexually stimulating pictures,movies, stories etc. :D


My strategy?? I just listen to music or do more work

We're not allowed to watch porn while deployed, so it's been uhm... a good long while. Does that count? I'm always stressed, but I'm not sure that's the cause. Mmmmm, sex. I miss it *whimper*

I'm going for no porn or or masturbation. It's been a day, and Im finding it hard not to accidentally run into mild porn on the internet. I think I'm going to need to develop a strategy.

I once went a month without masturbating. Of course, I was with my g.f. every day and every night at the the time, we were both overseas away from prying parents' eyes and had a place to ourselves. So it was hardly necessary. She flew home before I did and WHAMO, inside of a day it was back to regular wanking.

They're corrupting me! http://planetsmilies.net/sad-smiley-384.gif Doesn't count, an accident, I swear. No arousal, see?

So it's Day 4... hasn't been too difficult to distract myself or surpress the urge as my self control is still very much entact.

One thing of note happened last night. I don't have dreams that i remember all that often, but when I do remember them they are very rarely sexual. However, last night i had two unique dreams with sexual themes to them... so it will be interesting to see if there is a connection between having sexual dreams and abstaining from masturbation.

Day 3: I'm writing a final paper for a class today, and I gotta tell you it has been damn hard not to whip it out and start whacking it! It's not that the paper is arousing, it's just that masturbation is such good procrastination. I'm surprised how well I'm doing avoiding porn though, but I guess having a girlfriend helps. I don't think I've really felt any effects yet.

Piece of cake...

It has been more than 3 months since I've watched porn to begin with. Also, I have not had sex for the past 35 days and have not masturbated for 63 days.

The real challenge is to go 120 days and 120 nights without any sex or masturbation---that would take discipline for a man to do. Women can go without sex for much longer because we all know they have a built-in "on/off" switch for their sex drive.

Um.... never mind. I'm not going to say it.

lmao

Heh heh. Me too.

Well, I'll give it a shot. My rapid share premium account just expired today, so I could renew it, or I could try leading a more normal life and cut out the porn in my life. Damn. I'll have so much free time on my hands. (ha!)

2 weeks.

Alright, I'm throwing in on this one. All I need is some sort of reminder to not accidentally watch something. Maybe a screensaver that says no Porn for me.

Just found this thread, so I am going to join in on this business, but I am adding an additional 50 days without the porn and masturbating.

So how did everyone do?? If you just started then keep going :D

I know for me my fantasies increased as well as my actual sexual desires.

Oh, I forgot it was just two weeks. In that case, I passed with flying colors.

Then a downward spiral about three weeks into it , then, a recovery.

I found some interesting hobbies and gained renewed vigor for athletics.

:D

I've been cheating by having sex with the wife...
