No masturbation
I decided to test myself. I made a promise that I would not masturbate for 30 days...or until I see my girlfriend again, whichever comes first (she lives out of town currently). I'm at the end of day 4...and it's been so hard. (no pun intended) Last couple days I've been wanting to just explode, there is so much of something building up that it feels like I'm gonna just pop. Maybe I"m over reacting...I've gone this long w/o doing it before, but usually just cuz I didn't have time to.
Anyone else try this before? I can't tell you exactly why I wanted to, I guess for a lesson in self discipline, and self denial. Also, there is a point when desensitization happens. Wish me luck, Dave

It's not impossible, but it's not easy either.
Believe it or not, I've once gone 60 days without any sex or masturbation whatsoever two summers ago because my girlfriend wasn't around. Apart from doing exercise like Spidey recommended, I'd also advise you to steer clear from all pornographic material and anything remotely erotic. If you have porn in your hard drive then delete it all. And if you have any porno magazine either stash them away or burn them. The first few weeks will be hell, but afterwards you'll get used to it and it won't be a problem (as long as you keep yourself occupied with enough activities that you won't feel a need to go looking for sex).

From what I've heard on Loveline of similar situations, don't be surprised to start having "wet dreams" like you were 12 years old. The body stores all this stuff up and it needs to get out somehow, even if you're not trying to do anything.
Just fair warning. |

Or Everything you see I owe to spaghetti. Sophia Loren, actress One of those should benefit you. Good luck.

Hehehe thanks guys.
I exercise regularly...I'm usually at the gym 5 or more times a week. I'm kinda hoping the extra testosterone will help me with more power in my workout. BTW, the mornings are the worst.

When I read this it made me think of 40 days and 40 nights, haha. It is gonna be hard. The longest I have ever lasted is 21 days, after that I pretty much decided it was too fun to give up. Good luck to you!

Anyway, the only way I find to keep my mind off it is to work hard all week, every week, and to be too damn tired to do anything at all. Also, hide the porn. But really, if you are not getting sex, why would you want to deny yourself the next best thing? To me, it's a basic human right...

My gf is out of the country for the next 6 weeks. I would try this but when i have an extra 5 minutes and am in between tv shows or something, i'm like a masterbating zombie, it just happens. Plus what if you went for like a month without doing it and then you got into some freak accident and lost your arms?

dude, don't exercise as some have said. The extra testosterone will increase the libido, not decrease it. I speak from experience. I workout in the early mornings, but the time I come home and in-between getting ready for work, I am yanking it. Then at night, because I have energy from the afternoon, I have to go at it again. Can't help it, just super horny and it is a direct correlation from working out.
You caved in anyways, so mute point now.....

Maybe we should have a moderation club, instead of a abstaining club? Since I'm sure a lot of us wank it daily (or more so), and orgasms are better with moderation, we all strive to reduce the quantity and increase the quality?
I read it takes 4 days to reload, so I'll try for a 0.25 wank/day ratio. *shudder*

it's like that movie 40 days and 40 nights!
I say...based on tis thread that we start a club / comp once again. I personally believe it's more a matter of will power vs basic libido. My gf is leaving too for 2 months....and I would like to see how well / long I can go without any yanking. I am good to go starting on Monday June 28th! Who else is with me?!?! |

I just had a 37 day stint of no wanking. I just kind of realised that I hadn't done it in two weeks and I tried to see how long I could continue the trend. I even watched quite a bit of porn. The only effect that I noticed is that I got mad a lot quicker than normal. I had much more road rage than usual.
Ultimately I figure that when I'm 100 years old and my dick works like a slinky, that I'll probably regret every time I could have had sex and didn't. I'll probably wish that I yanked my chain more often.
