How Long Can You Abstain?

After my last spank session, as I stared down at my deflated, drooling dick it occurred to me that maybe it was time for a change. So today marks the beginning of a challenge where I will attempt to go at least two weeks without beating my cock into submission.

What's the longest you've ever gone without rubbing one out? How long do you think you could go without it? Are you willing to take the two week challenge with me?

What is your current frequency? Do you feel like you do it too much?

Just want to get some perspective as to how I rank with my habit.

 

Why would I want to? Sounds kind of neurotic to me.

longest i've gone was about 2 weeks, then it happened in my sleep the night before i finally had an opportunity to go about it myself.

i do it about once a day. i'm happy with that.

 

Longest I've gone since high school was definitely under a week.

At 3 days now though; been working on my masturbation addiction recently.

 

Bi-weekly. Between school, clinicals, and sex with my boyfriend, I don't have a huge drive for it.

 

Back in the fall, I think I went without it for almost a month. But then I'd just come out of a relationship and I was really depressed at the time, so my sex drive was like non-existent for a long time, lol. xD

 

Don't abstain for two weeks! That's fucking ages! Two days perhaps.

I average about twice a day at the moment! I love it. I tend to do it more when I'm getting sex and at the moment I'm not. In about a week I'll start doing it a lot less. Depends where I am in my cycle.

 

I'm going at it like a frantic schitzoid these days, but in the past I have managed to go for nearly 3 months, which is what people who do yoga and meditation try to achieve. It's hard, but if you can go at least a few weeks you really start to feel different. More energy, more alert, more stable sleeping rhythms etc..

I find that weed helps me to abstain, but if I have no weed I get a bit frustrated and bored and then I get drunk and the next day I have about 3 wanks.

If I had a steady supply of MJ I would be able to exercise more self discipline in that way.

When you do this you also become more attractive to women, I have noticed they look at me more with the I'd fuck you if I wasn't married eyes, I guess because you are storing up all this pent up sexual energy and they subconciously pick up on it somehow.

I'm disappointed that I have never had the pleasure of releasing/further harnessing that energy with anyone but my own company.

 

I'm not a fan of weed but when i do smoke it i get super horny and have x10 sex drive even when i finish myself off i'm horny again 20 mins later. Not sure why it has this effect and it only happens when i'm by myself.

 

It has that effect on me too.

But it can also help me to self discipline my mind. It's a versatile plant, how useful it is to you is all down to how you use it.

 

I believe that meditation will help with controlling urges, so I plan to make that a daily part of my routine again. I drifted away from it recently (damn you, internet porn!) and I don't feel the same. I also work out daily, so that is a good thing...It's just a challenge to me to see what my limits are.

As far as sexual energy being detected by others, that's something I've heard before and I really have to look further into it. I think that may have to do more with not reaching orgasm, which isn't always the point of my stroke sessions.

Good replies all.

 

Longest I've ever gone without it was 6 days, then I had to jerk it off. The orgasm was pretty good but I like doing it more frequently.

 

BTW this post has really interested me in trying not to wank now! :afro:

If you got anymore information on the positive and negative effects i'd love to hear them.

 

Don't think there are any negative effects, other than you kind of feel a bit on edge/hyper- in a good way though. This is where weed comes in. It helps you to suppress your libido and helps you to build up a sexual charge inside. Great for doing yoga and keeping yourself toned.

Give it a try. For me the first few weeks are the hardest, but it gets easier. You really have to stop yourself from thinking about it, looking at people you find attractive. The first time I nearly made it to 3 months I snapped one night when I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep.

It's important that you get a regular and uninterrupted sleeping pattern.

It's sad and irritating that society no longer values simple things like getting a good nights sleep though, so for many people it is difficult to achieve this, hence people's obsession with material things and sex.

Hope you manage it. Don't be put off if you snap after 2/3 weeks, just go back to the routine and you'll have a head start. Hope you get to release your man urges on a hot chick, or a dude if you prefer, at the end of your celibate period.

 

negative- you have a lot fewer orgasms.

 

I'm currently researching the benefits of abstinence as it pertains to being able to 'transmute' sexual energy in a spiritual sense. There's more benefits to this practice than most understand, given the nature of our instant gratification modern society. You made the point that most of society no longer appreciates simple things like a good night's sleep. I feel that many if not most of our rhythms are unnatural in this day and age.

There's no easy or instant path to enlightenment, but mastering the body is a good place to start. All of our appetites, from physical hunger to sexual desire must be mastered.

Thanks so much for your input.

 

i can go about 3 days. a solid 3 days...

 

The question is twofold - how long CAN I abstain, and how long do I HAVE to abstain.

Whenever I purposely decide to abstain, so as to get a better orgasm when I have a sex date planned, then it's usually for 2 days at the most. However, being epileptic, whenever I have a seizure it can take me quite a while to fully recover, often meaning that I can't even get an erection for up to 10 days, let alone an orgasm.

 

Six days in...Anyone playing along?

 

i was up to 3 weeks then had to. i'm probably going to aim for twice a month now. just sucks but all that work in not doing it and a moment of weakness ruins it.

i have say i think i was coming down with chronic fatigue syndrome and had some recent concentration problems but not masturbating and adding a daily vitimine really helped me feel at least 65% better. i think main problem really is just my job, i got to lift a lot of heavy stuff and i havnt been doing much cardeo work.
