I stopped masturbating for 41 days partly as a challenge (for someone who couldn't go even one day w/o it, it was hard!) and partly because I felt I was using masturbation to procrastinate on things I had to do. I haven't put other habits in place in order to make sure I won't use it as a way to procrastinate which is why I'm kind of worried I'll go back to the habit of jerking off too much and not do other things I have to do.
Most I ever went was 4 days,and that's only because I was in the hospital undergoing some tests on my heart!
I went at it for one hour and a half, I was kinda surprised I lasted that long after not jerking off for so long. I was looking forward to the orgasm, but it sucked. My left ball hurt as hell when I was cumming, and the pain overshadowed the orgasm I guess. I was kinda worried but I did a little Google search and it seems like that is normal. It happens when you don't cum enough, or cum too much. Thirty minutes later I jerked off again to see what would happen, and when I came it didn't hurt at all.
Foolish business, that: playing games with the one thing in life that is yours alone. You'll never make up all those sexless days, and when you go to your grave, you will be thinking..."and I wasted 41 days by not jerking off! Oh I wish I had them now!" *followed by darkness.*
Not really. I kinda wanted to improve my discipline in that area. I love jerking off, but I was not doing other things that had to be done because of that. Masturbating wasn't the problem, the problem was that I was masturbating to procrastinate.
In the beginning it was really hard. But as the days go by you don't want to screw it up, and it seemed like my libido kind of lowered. It took me a couple of tries to get to 41 days. On the first one I wasn't really committed to it, and hadn't set any rules, so I jerked off on the 10th day just to see how it would feel (for about 5 minutes) but didn't cum, and then again on the 12th day, but got carried away and busted by accident. On the second try I also hadn't set any rules, so masturbating was kind of allowed as long as I didn't cum, so I jerked off on the 15th and 18th day, but accidentally busted again on the 18th. On the third try I didn't touch myself at all.
Cleaning the pipes once in a while is actually good for the prostate, by all means keep yourself from getting ass cancer and spank the monkey.
I say break it, and don't go on another sabbatical, because masturbation has too many good side effects to just stop doing it. Just read the post above mine, that's 100% true.
I managed a fortnight once, on occasions a week because of where I've been on holiday. I can't imagine going 41 days unless I had some illness that stopped me and I hope that never happens. I know that if you give something up after a while it can be easier, especially with an end date in sight. Still seems too difficult.
41 days?! That's incredible! We sometimes abstain from orgasms for as much as several days to a week before some of our mutual masturbation sessions, just to enhance our orgasms. But 41 days just boggles the imagination. You should have made a special announcement on our Masturbation forum, that "... after 41 days, you intend to masturbate, to an orgasm, at 12:00 midnight..." and some of us here would have gladly masturbated (all the way to an orgasm) with you -in spirit. The collective force of our orgasms would have been incredible! hugs, HotCaliforniaCouple
Do you guys find it harder to not orgasm quickly after it's been a while? I usually find that the orgasm sort of "sneaks up" on me. I didn't think I would last the first time after the streak but surprisingly I went for about an hour and a half.
