I've stopped masturbating.

Well Viper, the upshot to all this is that when you finally do decide to choke the bishop, you're gonna blow your load about 20 feet across the room and your dick will explode like you were doing it for the first time. I'll envy you that day.

 

I personally get negative responses from myself if I try to abstain, I usually get grumpy,restless, nervous and desperate for release! Not a good idea to abstain in my opinion. But to each their own...

 

That's what she said!

 

muahahahahahahahaaaaaa...

:devil:

 

I have the same thing, I'm so busy I didn't have time and I actually feel great not doing it. Girls seem more attractive and I'm more focused on getting a new girlfriend now

I'll try and last a month and see where I go from there.

 

One week in and it's getting easier! It's actually fun challenging myself to lay off! Woot.

 

I see your motivation Mellow. It can manifest into an addiction. No one needs that!

 

Yah, I actually spent 3 hours last night looking at amateur pornos on Xvideos, and I didn't even wank off. I got horny, but I couldn't bring myself to it, because the people in the vids are just flaunting their sexuality, and I'm only left with my hand. It kind of bums me out. I think that's why I've stopped jerking it more than anything. I want to get what I really want or nothing (sex with an actual girl), no compromises or in-betweens. Plus, you can waste a lot of fucking time surfing the web for porn, and it seems like a poor substitute for the real thing.

I did see a wicked funny parody of snow white and the seven dwarfs though. It was some fucked up German cartoon from the 70's where they were all gang banging her, and the witch was jealous, because she wanted to reach an orgasm or something.

 

damn dude still going strong? more power to you.

 

Interesting post. All the things you have quit or want to quit, I have quit as well...starting with masturbation. For me, my libido is really strong and from 15-21 I had a TERRIBLE acne problem. Pimples would plague me to the point where at times I was reluctant to leave the house and expose myself. I realize a daythat this may be connected to my masturbation habits, which were mostly once a day at the time. At times I noticed that when i stopped for like 5 or 9 days, my acne would improve. It also helped control my sex drive when walking on the street. When you are in a college or something where you are constlantly seeing hot chicks and you dont have a girl to blow off the steam, it can take over your thoughts--it sucks as you guys know.

The most I have stopped was for about 35 days--which is incredible. My acne did decrease and I fealt more "pure" for sure. i also stopped staring at the chicks as I walked about and tried to redirect some of my energy. For me, it kind of collapses because eventually you are gonna have an erotic wet dream. for me I couldn't avoid, i would stop for like 10 days, then get a wet dream would screw up the streak. Eventually i realized that it doesn't really matter--it is a VERY strong biological need that you can't supress, specially while you are young and fertile. Also, it does clear your mind and help you tone down the horniness throughout the day.


I did this while i was completely sober at 20 yearsold and it was very tough mentally. I would imagine if you smoke weed regularly it would make it easier as you have other avenues to relax and reset.

As far as alcohol, i was long convinced it is just a nasty drug. As a social enhancer, it is wonderful and it is great for that, but it is just poison for you body. I am just sick of dealing with the hangovers and the broken or damaged property when you get careless. Not to mention the emberassing and foolish behavior that it leads too. I mean how many times have you regretted the heedless way you acted the night after or the dumb things you said? To me it was great for getting girls as I was always taciturn and it helped to push me over the edge and approach girls tremendously--i give it credit for a lot in that department. But how retarted is it that i need to chug like 5 beers before I can approach someone? wouldn't it be a lot better and less costly/harmful to my image and pocket if I could do it naturally? I have gone to numerous parties sober and some of the behavior you see from tipsy guys is completely pathetic anyways (myself included). It takes a really drunk or slutty girl to eat it up anyway. This train of thought has convinced me to wanna stop drink alcohol. My plan was to go sober from the first of the year, but that is already off.

 

Oddly I haven't had a wet dream after five weeks, even after going on a non-masturbatory porno binge last night. After not seeing porn for a while, too, I'm beginning to resent it to a certain degree as I mentioned in my last post.

I read somewhere that sleeping with a full bladder can prevent wet dreams. What's bizarre is I had a very erotic dream 2 weeks ago where I was masturbating and felt this really intense orgasmic sensation which I woke up to. I was certain I jizzed everywhere, but apparently there was no mess. I've never had a wet dream before to be honest, and I've gone abstinent many times before. This 5+ weeks is the longest.

It hasn't been unusual for me to wait to weeks though. I've done that a lot. At times, I'd only masturbate one week apart without really even intending to do so. I'm surprised I haven't had one yet. My tactile and olfactory senses in my dreams are usually very vivid though. A lot of times flavors will taste vividly like the real thing when I eat food. One time I tasted peppermint in a dream and was surprised to wake up without peppermint actually being in my mouth.

 

I also blocked the porn content and all around avoided porn stimuli when I stopped. I would strongly advise against going on porn binges haha that is bound to break you. So, what is your goal? Is it just to stop to clear your thoughts and have better habits? I think unless you are having actual sex, it may not be all that useful. Obviously you want to bust a nut since you are a male and you have been thinking about it, why not give in and take weeks off in between. Like on a sunday or someting, at one point that abstinence itself can start to consume you.

 

Its partially to clear my mind, which looking at porn didn't help.Even when just looking at porn without even masturbating, I engage with women less. I'm hoping it forces me to talk to chicks more so I can get a girlfriend and get laid. I'm more sexually invisible and make less eye contact when I've jacked it or porn binged a lot.

Its also to exercise self control. Philosophically I believe the greatest exercise of freedom comes, not from giving into base impulse. I believe, rather, that it comes from taking the path of most psychological resistance and succeeding and that you can strengthen your will power through this type of austerity.

I notice my memory has improved too and that I can remember names and number sequences better.

After I had the dry binge on the porn though, I was trying to read a book, and I kept getting distracted by metal images of naked chicks.

 

I figured out that you were joking right about here

 

I see, as a mental exercise it is great, i see the value. To me it was also really hard and like I said i did feel more pristine and had some improved confidence that month. With that said, you cannot mask your sex drive--after all you´re 95% savage and 5% mental, you cant change your DNA. So as far as that goes, just hit on more girls, work on your confidence and start approaching on the street, or even better in school. Having graduated recently, I miss how easy it was to get laid in college. When you get out, you really have to grow some balls and actually get them, as horny/drunk girls stop being so frequent and when they are, you probably better off avoiding.

 

In the mean time, I could channel the energy into reading or hobbies so I appear more interesting to chicks. When I go on masturbating binges, it leaves me sort of dull and groggy. I wonder if peacocks loose the luster in their feathers when they jerk off. I should ask a zoologist sometime.
