i wank too much, therefore...
 

i think i'm gonna challenge myself.

today is july fourth. i am challenging myself to not masturbate at all for the next week. if i succeed, i'll extend that to another week, ad infinitum. if i fail, i'l re-initiate the challenge from the day of the falling and document it in this thread.


so who wants to join me? post the current date and your personal challenge. if you fall, don't sweat it, but be sure to document it. i know it's strange saying i'm not gonna wank with the titty board lurking so near, but that's why we call it a challenge. so who's "up" to the challenge?

*update*

okay kids... i'm doing it. fuck liberation armies and campaigns for new boards, join the <b>partnership for a wank-free tfp</b> simply mark in your signature how long you've gone without and a link inviting others to do the same. see my sig for details.

hehe, i am.

though i haven't "wanked" since Tuesday night, so i've already had a few days of celibacy (well its been even longer since i've had sex as well :( )

tho i feel i might be out after i go out tonight, or tommorow morning.

On a side note, wouldn't it be absolutly fantastic if masturbating (or other sexual relations) was a form of excercise, such as you excercise any other muscle, and that the more you did, or more strenously you did it, your "muscle" would grow and it'd increase your sperm count and you have stronger/longer orgasms and so on....

why does it have to be this way :(

another note. does anyone know how much time it'd take to "build up a full load" or does it change for different people. For me generally i generally masturbate every few days and theres normally quite a bit, but i never know if its a "full load" or not. And having sex numerous times in a few hours, you load gets steadily less and less, obviously...

so anyone know what an average cycles is?

like for girls, they like get there period (or egg) every month or so. So how long would it take to fill up the tank.

i like using metaphors wherever possible :)

Can girls join? And it's only solo play ban, not all out celibacy?

Btw, I can tell from the smell if I go down on my bf if he has masturbated on his own (and not taken a shower since). He freaked out when he learnt I know cos at first he thought I have sixth sense about it before he had guts to ask and I said it's the mild smell of sperm. Men are funny sometimes. :)

Sleepyjack:

Read it somewhere that people start to get wet dreams sometimes if they go without sex, but if a man doesn't masturbate the extra semen will just get out of the system in urine.

So why is masturbation bad, you ask?

Sex is for procreation only.
Masturbation is unnatural, it leads to homosexuality.
Masturbation is based on lust.
Masturbation is addictive.
Masturbation is a solitary act. Sex is meant for a married man and woman.
Masturbation is a symptom of [spiritual] immaturity.
Masturbation is an impure act.
God watches us all the time. The argument for shame and self-policing.
Masturbate is the unforgivable sin.

girls can join in, but i do think its easier for a girl to abstain. That'd be a valid statement? right?
if they could statistically find the population average of the number of times people masturbated for each sex, i wonder what the ratio would be (between maless and females)? maybe we could conduct such an analysis here. You only need a few samples to assume a normal distribution and such. would be interesting
its also harder if you don't have a common and loving partner to do stuff with. :(

sex is not only for procreation, but for pleasure and an act of making love which is more than just procreation. Though i don't think masturbating is making love (making love to yourself, doesn't sound right), its more about pleasuring yourself, just like you would if you bought anice piece of cake or something to eat :)

i think addiction has a negative connatation to it, but if i was addicted to spreading love and good will, i don't think that is bad. So that addiction statement is not valid for me. eh, i don't really care or value that christian stuff. I am and we all are, our own gods, as we have the ability to impose life and make choices for ourselves. hmm this is getting of the topic of the competition at hand

good luck everybody :)

edited: spelling and stuff..

Sleepyjack:

The quoted part from "The Christian History of Masturbation" is about opposite of what I believe, but I once happened to found that in the Net and thought it would be amusing in this thread. :)

About being easier for a girl: Hmm, well, usually speaking yeah, but I surf porn every day more than an hour and my bf comes home late, so I think I have fair difficulty factor. :)

Hey sleepyjack,

It takes 4 days to get a full tank.
As for your challenge...no way ...that's sick ;)

The pleasurable feeling that comes with sex,
was nature's way of reenforcing the habit of procreation.
Masturbation is just taking advantage of those same sensations without actual intercourse.

Studies have shown that those who have more sex have a tendency to be healthier and live longer.
Maybe nature wants to make sure those who are productive get a bit longer to produce.
Well it seems that your body doesn't care if it's sex or masturbastion.
You get the same benefits either way.

However, as with everything, there can be side-effects to doing it too much.
So the old saying still goes..."everything in moderation"
Even something that feels good.

I've never been able to go too long without masturbating, especially if there's pornography around (like on the tfproject).

What is the purpose of this self celibacy? I think that masturbation actually helps my sex drive, rather than hurt it, so I was just curious as to the original poster's intent...

well, if this was just solo play it would be easy except for my girlfriend plans on staying a virgin till marriage, so no solo-fun = no fun at all..

but what the heck :) i am all for the challenge!

I accept this challenge!

I'm out :D

damn sarcasmo... care to re-ante and try again? suviko, anyone any everyone is welcome into the challenge, and this is simply a ban on any and all solo action... if you find a partner you're free to go wild.

as for me, i'm simply seeing how this affects intercourse... that and i have better things i could do with my time than searcgh for "wankable" porn and then take care of business. so i suppose i'm challenging myself to increase my productivity and improve my reproductivity... ;)

right now it's the most difficult... i just woke up, and that's my regular time, but i'm getting through it.

so like i said before, if you wanna join in, state your challenge (give it a timeframe, it makes goals easier to track). any and all are welcome.

haha this is exactly like the seinfeld 'contest' episode. one of the better ones, imo. i'll play :D

http://www.t-shirtking.com/graphics/116-00255.jpg

I won a contest once...I am master of my own domain.... king of the county

well, I'm doing it anyway, since your mom's place is not someplace you want to wank off, nor using your sis's system.
Talk about bad karma.;)

And no, I'm not about those who still live with their parents.
geez, I've been out of the house for forever.:rolleyes:

hehe, i still live with my parents. tho i am still a student, so they kinda support me.
still master of my domain as well :)

i think the longest i've gone before is life is about a week or 6 days. on a camp.

@suviko:

wow, 1 hour of porn a day is quite excessive. Especially for a girl and maybe even for a guy, well maybe. I don't look at that much porn, mainly cause i have a 56K modem still, so it chews up my bandwidth. Although i think it is fair to say that i'd think about sex etc for more than an hour a day. So that'd be kinda similar, in that you are occupying your landscape with sex for a long period of time.

its all good tho :)

About a month ago I didn't wank it for 3 weeks straight. I think that's the longest I've gone. I honestly don't even really feel the need to do it, unless I am sitting around with nothing to do and my mind starts to wonder. If I am busy with something or whatever, like work or school, I just don't really get a chance to think about it.

If four days is how long it takes to bust a full load, I definately haven't filled up my tank for awhile

Not masturbating and then have sex.. hehe.. the effects are good.. Not masturbating and then having oral sex usually has this effect "That's more like a cup rather than a teaspoon!" :D

Longest I've been.. 3 months.. after that was up made love for the first time.. ;) After about 4 weeks it seems easy and it the urge gets less and less.. And before the 3 months I was goin on average around 3 times a day.. bloody scary.. Got alot more energy too :D

Re: i wank too much, therefore...
 

I went a month without masturbating when I first started college. I've got no desire to repeat that feat heheheh. :P

phredgreen: And why exactly do you want to stop masturbating, if possible, forever ?

if you read a whole thread instead of just the first post before replying, you'll learn alot.

There is no fucking way I'm taking that challenge.

aww... but think of all the short stories about your feelings and how not masturbating affected you you could write...

phred, i'd be glad to join you, but i just started sleeping with an old flame, so that would defeat the purpose of not masturbating for me. good luck, and godspeed. hope you find an outlet for the urges.

let me get this straight... you're sleeping with someone, therefore you <b>must</b> masturbate???

does this make NO sense to anyone else? i'm not asking you not to have sex, in fact i'd rather people be shagging than wanking. maybe i'm misisng something, rat... care to explain?

What's the challenge? If you can have sex, but not masturbate, wouldn't we all like to do that? I don't masturbate when I have a girlfriend. It's just when I'm alone, I need something to do and something to take care of that need.

If you don't have to give up having sex then the challenge is pointless.

the whole point (how many times do i need to say this) is to get people away from wanking and back into bed with their better halves. good for you that you don't wank when you're with someone. not everyone is wired that way.

longest i've gone was like a month, not really that difficult if the situations arent ever good.

its not that difficult to go without it for a few days, just excercise extra or something, gotta burn all that extra energy and try not to be bored a lot.

lol

what the hell, i'm in!

starting tommorrow. :)

last time i wanked was july third...
yes, its an interesting experiment. I've tried to see how long i could go without wanking. probably about 3 weeks, when i went traveling with my folks.

When i go without wanking for a few days, things with my SO get hotter.:)

lets see if i can go a week.....

lmao
There was this one time.. where i didnt wank for about 1 month.. The day i did wank it i was getting really bad cold sweats.. I couldnt stand it anylonger.. Well when i came i was shocked.. It was mostly clear fluid.. wtf.. I think it was all that natural lubricant.. It was f*cked up. Anyways i wanked it 3 more times that day :)

I heard that your testicles will re absorb the sperm.. But for the people who dont. They get wet dreams! i've only had 3.. :(

ok, i'm game. :D ::makes sure to note the year in her sig, as well as the month and day:: ;)

I'm most definatly in. It's gonna be a bitch, but I'll do it.

alright guys, i'll bite. im in.

nice, i've been going since tuesday night. Whenever i get an urge, i'll try to come back here to reassure myself. i am proud of myself not to have given in, especially after friday night in which i was getting quite physical with some girls on the dance floor (it was mutual tho!)

its getting very tough tho :(

keep going people, its all will power!

this is amazing, im still pending on my decision

well im getting a hard on as i read this so it will be hard but i goin starting today the 6th of july!

longest i went was like 3 weeks

and as for sperm build up, it seems like i am less horny if i dont masturbate for a long time... but that only pertains to porn...

but if i am with a girl i am extra horny...

odd

well I just saw the post but I haven't wanked it since the morning of the 4th.

I'm in a difficult situation though. I haven't seen my wife in over 3 months. She and the kids are in Michigan and I'm in AZ trying to sell the house so that I can finally get back with my wife and kids.

Wanking has been one of the few things to help keep my sanity during this prolonged absence.

But I will certainly accept the challenge.

well, i have a g/f and i dont need to whack off...so, i guess it doesnt matter

good luck. don't put an eye out when your done fasting. lol

Well, I just saw this too. Was with my gf all weekend, so wanking was not a factor, but now I'll take up the challenge. Thinking back to the last time...Wednesday, I guess. So July 2! Woo! Can I be in both a liberation army and wank-free group? My sig is getting unwieldy, time to prune.

I think I definately wank it too much, so I think i'll give it a shot, though i've tried stuff like this before, it's never been documented so hopefully the documentation will help 8D

Bleh, I'm up. Can't hurt anything!
Besides I havent been eating enough protien lately to keep up with my habit.

uh.......no.

Basic Training and tech school, guaranteed to kill a man's libido.

I must say, this is a bit more of a challenge for us single guys...

Okay, I'll do it.
<img src="http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/09/58/22m.jpg">

Someone once said sex was sometimes a good substitution for masturbation. Hmm... comments from other married men? =)

Alas, the dream is over.
Well 6 days, was pretty good for me. Given that i normally wank daily or 6 times a week, and then even some more if i have trouble sleeping (it always works as well ;) )

Anyways, i had to catch the bus home from uni today and on the way home a really beautiful girl got on (with some firends). Anyways i smiled at her (as i do to most people who walk past me anyway) and she smiled back as she went past me to the back seats, and after that it was all over. That was all i could think about on the way home and when i got home the streak was over (well not much of a streak...)
Nevertheless, i've learned some lessons. I think it feels better after abstaining for a few days, also your load is a lot, lot more, and one of the reasons it does feel and also look better, lol

So, again i feshly join the club, in an attempt to set a new PB (personal best). great thread :)

I'll give this a try... while I do have regular sex with my wife I also usually mastubate a hell of a lot.

I've been masturbation free since June 29th...

I'll throw my hat in too.. though i doubt i'll make it through the rest of the week. Cant find condoms anywhere in this damn town.. No condoms= No sex. No sex makes Ganguro a dull boy..


Though I have a question for you lads and lasses participating in this experiment: Since you stopped "topping off the tank" do you feel more sexual aggressive/ easily aroused, or more hostile and less sexual?

I'm gonna throw my hat in also. I've been wanting to do it, but never fully commiting to it. For me personally, if I masterbaute, the sexual drive for me decreases, and my fiancee suffers. I think tonight...I might make an ultimate sacrifice, and get rid of all the porn on my computer...Don't know about that though...I'll update y'all about it tomorrow.

NO!! porn is a terriable thing to waste. At least make a back-up. And if you really don;t want it in a few weeks, send it to me :) I will give it a good home and pay shipping :)

Alright i'm in aswell, starting July 7th

the catholics have all ready won

I was celibate by choice for over 3 years... was trying for 5... but didn't make it...

good luck all of you

Well I would have to say that depending on the time of day I'm more easily aroused. The worse part is trying also to quit smoking at the same time. I'm not sure which vice is worse :p

So far no wanking is easier.

Heheh. Give it a couple weeks, Hal. No offense to anyone trying, but I suspect the victory will be short-lived.

Me, I'm already trying to abstain from other chix while the girlfriend is out of town, I don't really need to be increasing the difficulty level.

Dude, I'm so fucking in this.

*adding new signature*

If I fuck up, I will try try again.

sub-zero...the 8th...umm, that's tomorrow...so...you're signing up for it tomorrow??

I don't think it's a catholic thing Halx, I'll certainly look at porn, hell, my fiancee and I just bought a Porno Magazine tonight. I'm just trying to save my sexual energies for her.

Hmm. I think this thread is having the opposite affect than it was intended for upon me. I go forth to wank.

;)

Yes indeedy! I already did my duty ;) for the 7th, so I figured I'd start on a fresh clean day. That day is the 8th!

Yup, according to my clock (12:41) my no-wank journey has begun.

well, so much for self control. managed one night without it, and then "bickety bam!" i'm done. gonna restart, not gonna do it tonight. i think i'm also gonna have to swear off seeing my attractive friends, that's what made me lose it.

could someone tell me how to put this in my sig with colors and the link?

last time was last night, so now's a good time to make a start, i suppose.
i'm in.

don't sweat it mael... even the mighty have fallen... posting that many sets to teh titty board was too much for my fragile system... i <b>had</b> to get it out of my system... so i'll start over. let's go for a week from today, the ninth.

I will try it, but I'm almost sure I can't succeed :)

another note. does anyone know how much time it'd take to "build up a full load" or does it change for different people. For me generally i generally masturbate every few days and theres normally quite a bit, but i never know if its a "full load" or not. And having sex numerous times in a few hours, you load gets steadily less and less, obviously... ---> Dude, the bank usually fills back up in about 24 hours or less.

All you have do do is delete all the !'s and change the date to whatever you'd like.

Read the vB code page to help you figure out this stuff by yourself.

Minus Cynthetiq, you're all WEAK!
I've gone roughly 1.75 (or more, I lost count) years without because I'd rather have sex than masturbate. I'm in as of 9 July 2003.

What is this? Wankers anonymous? I don't see how there's any challenge if you have access to "real sex." It's like telling someone "oh i quit drinking... except when a beautiful woman buys me a beer, then it doesn't count."

Also, is one of the steps in this process going to be to go and apologize to all the female friends/acquaintances i've imagined while wanking?

-saladami
wank free since 5 minutes ago

i would pay to see that. :thumbsup:

So would I!

WOAH DUDE!!!

I'm not getting ANY sex at ALL. Nothing! Zilch. For me, this is totally a challenge man.

ps: i haven't given in yet

I don't think the challenge is to abstain, it's to hold your sexual energy for things that can use it. The way I'm taking it is that I want to abstain from masterbauting so that I can save it for my fiancee.

just so you know, not all of us have that access..

im currently dating a virgin till marriage, and I don't plan on getting married anytime soon, so any sex whatsoever would be out of the question..

I was curious just how everyone is holding out. I am closing in on a week. I still have less than a day and I will have gone a week. *woot*

i guess I will ask the question in a few days just how many made their week of no wank.

I'm in

i made a week.... then i succumbed... heh...
oh wells... here it goes again...

d'oh. broke lst night... it was worth it, though :D:D

^^^ lol
hmmm im thinkin about it
i think ill start soon

As far as filling back up...if I have sex when I wake up and then on my lunchbreak, well, it's usually weak on my lunchbreak, but by bedtime that night I'm fully loaded again.

I used to be a roommate with a med student who explained how guys are on cycles, similar to females...except for most guys it runs somewhere around four times a year. I started paying more attention and noticed that indeed, no matter how much action I get, there's usually a two week period every three months or so where I'm rediculously aggressive...I can have sex four times a day and still wank it a couple times in between. Wowzers.

Anyway, I started as of tonight and have been successfully wank-free for almost an hour. I'm thinking I need to go visit my fiancee in the bedroom soon, though. This is gonna be tough...

I accept your challenge. Good luck to everyone!

sorry, hadn't checked the thread in a while.

I'm not saying I must masturbate, just that the cessation of masturbation for me is pointless, as I'm still getting off just about as much as when I do masturbate. The effect on my testosterone levels and such are negligible from what I've found. Now, don't get me wrong, I rarely masturbate at all now, but cutting myself from little to nothing when I'm already sleeping with someone would defeat the purpose for me, as I find it has little effect one way or the other.

okay... so you just spontaneously ejaculate while walking down the street?

Ah well, lost it today :(

That would be the greatest thing in the world. Imagine being at a restaurant and suddenly you just start jizzin' everywhere. Imagine if all men could do that. "Um, Fred don't mind my uncontrolable ejaculate that just landed on your shoulder." :hmm:

"No worries Bob. I just blew a load all over your lunch." :eek:

:D :lol: :D :lol:

alright, I'm in just for the sake of the challenge,.. I'm sure that I'll last till Saturday, but beyond that, I'm not sure.

wank free since <b>July 10, 2003</b>

and to think... tomorrow is my birthday...

What about us single guys who have no other outlet?

Ummmmm....... no?

I've got an idea! How about a new partnership where we see how many days in a row we can go w/o missing a wank?!

You people are weird.
;)

it's sorta funny and weird at the same time to read all of your signatures and know the last time you all wanked.

fun fact: the last 4 digits of my phone number are WANK. :)

i picked a bad time to quit masturbating :( i just saw a totally fucking steamy hot movie, Secretary. my boxers are sopping and i am not even confident my current "interest" reciprocates the same feelings... not to mention he is far enough away from where i live that it's also a pain to see each other. :| when i'm interested in someone, my sex drive turns into hyperdrive. when i'm not pursuing someone, i'm ice cold which is why the 1+ yrs. i didn't even realize i had gone that long until someone brought up masturbating in a conversation. sigh. but now... now i am "awake"... i want him so bad. right. now. D:

haha yeah my friends and I held a "whackin" contest also when I was in school, I can't remember who held out from batin' the longest, but I know it wasn't me.

Yeah Secretary is one hell of an erotic movie!

Ok this is a bit of a graphic story but I have to tell it with this whole wank free thing.
I started wankin when I was about 13. I wanked at least once every couple of days since. Well one day I was mowing my lawn...got finished and decided to rub one out before taking a shower. Well some how I rubbed the cockler wrong and sort of skinned (chafed) a part of it. Needless to say any friction there was horrible. Anyways...about this time, I started dating my current girlfriend. I was too afraid to show her my cock (luckily she wasn't easy) because of the small rash looking thinymabobber from when I skinned a part of it. Anyhoo, I didn't jerk it for about a month and a half!!!!! Sort of by choice and sort of not by choice.
So finally everything cleared up down there and I was about to get my first blowjob ever. Since I was so built up over the past month and a half I was worried that I would be done in a minute. She put it in her mouth for maybe three seconds and I was done. It was very embarrasing but it was the best orgasm I had had since I first started. Breaks are good, if you can do it.
Damn I was nervous that I was in actuality a minute man...but luckily..I'm more of a 2 minute man.

I'm in Jerry! I just hope there's no chick undressing behind the curtain beside my mom's hospital bed. Or a couple getting it on in the loft across the street (wasn't that what was going on across from Jerry's flat - that made Kramer lose the bet?).

Anyway, this should be interesting...

Well I'd like to, but you'd have to shut down the Titty Board first. It's just too tempting, dammit.

I'm having the exact opposite. I love my gf, seXor is great but I have great difficulty coming without jerking off. This is what 10 years of excessive masturbation will do to you.

WOO! Day one, mission accomplished. GF says she wants to watch me do it tonight - says it turns her on. She usually gets herself off while I do that for her. oh, darn. Try not climbing all over each other after *that*

So I guess that'll be twice in one day, but there's no extra credit for multiples iterations in one day in my partnership, so I'll have to do it again tomorrow anyway.

I'm SO broken up about this...

well, i made my week goal with a day to spare... i think i am going to up the ante and go a month..

to tell you the truth.. the week didnt seem that bad.. I didn't even really think about it, but it is usually that I think about sex more the more i masturbate, so when I quit, I really don't notice..

that is part of the reason I have gone 4-7 months without any wanking or play of any sort.. I just don't notice.

oh well, 1 month here i come!
