How Long Can You Abstain?

I would hate to abstain. As awesome would it be to have that really good orgasm, it's just not worth it. Plus you'd get so many erections in public.

 

you're making it kind of hard to abstain with this thread!..

 

Like I said you have to distance your mind from ANY sexual thoughts. The spontaneous erections on the bus/morning glory go away after a week or two.

 

Uhhh...Actually, I still wake up every morning with a hard on that I could drive nails with.

The difference is that the edge is now gone. Focus and concentration have been better lately and I am working out more. It's not that hard at all to keep my thoughts from drifting towards sex.

 

Three days is tough for me.

 

The most I've gone with masturbating is 2 days. It's probably an addiction, but I love it and don't care.

 

Not too long I hear it makes ur genitals stink if u don't release

 

Intentionally about a fortnight.

 

The longest I've abstained was two months during Basic Combat Training. Didn't have the time or energy to do anything once I hit the bunk. I had the best orgasm ever when I got home though. :2thumbsup:

 

just under two months. i was back packing europe and was sharing hostel rooms with strangers

got laid three times though.

 

not very long

 

I have no idea why anyone would want to find out?

 

Lately, it feels like I am lucky to abstain for five minutes.

 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

I can keep my hands off of it for maybe two days and then I rub it on the average of three times a day for the next five days.

 

I often go at least three weeks, and a few times it was about six weeks. I think I got in enough 'sessions' as a 13-16 year old to make up for the last few years.

 

I have gone about two weeks without masturbating. I masturbate 3-5x per week and I'm happy with that number.

 

My longest is 5 days. My next goal is 7 days. I'm on my third day now.
And as for my yearly average, about 50% of days in a month I had masturbated and least once. My four month average is less and declining. I've been been charting my frequency for about a year and a half.
I got interested to see if I can last a month(I failed) and that is how a begain to track it.

 

Hey, good topic w/ honest reply.
Well my need for controlling it is b/c of wet dreams--I hate not having ctrl over it from about age 16-19. So I was able to ctrl having wet dreams around age 20.

About masturbation:
Around age 24, I realized I didn't want to jerk off 3-4x/wk for the next 60yrs, so I tried to conscientiously suppress the urge (why?-->Why Not?) but failed.
So I decided to just jerk off whenever the urge arises. After about 2mos, the urge started to die off b/c I no longer suppressed it.
Now I avg only 1-2x/month (I have a printout 8x11'' calendar that I mark).
My reason for abstinence is nothing more than "Why Not?", i.e. I like to control anything and everything that I can possibly control.

 

To the person who said it's "not worth it," you're not losing anything.
I do agree w/ the other two who said basically you'll have a type of confidence/coolness about you that ladies may (or may not) pick up on.
You'll also be more energetic and alert, which helped in my college yrs.
I think the key is to not suppress the urge AND not feed the urge.
