How many days? Try to make an estimate guess of how many times have you fapped through your life. Compare that to a week and it should be less of a chore.I'm not feeling any more macho or motivated, all I am is far crankier. :l

Seriously. It's not overnight. Month one is ridiculously difficult as you try to resist both your brain and your dick screaming at you to do have a wank. This'll naturally make you irritable and not fun to be around. For the bulk of month two you'll probably experience a real low point where your sex drive crashes, dead. It certainly helps you get through the process, but it's also demoralising. For me, it was only in the third month that the "oh shit I'm a 14 year old again" sex drive came back, along with the increase in swag.How many days?

I mean if one of the most important points of this is to motivate you to approach women in the meatspace, it's kind of doing the opposite by my getting cranky and scowling at any person (man or woman), lol.Seriously.

It happens. By the time you've reached 90 days, I'm sure you'll stop being a scowly scowler.I mean if one of the most important points of this is to motivate you to approach women in the meatspace, it's kind of doing the opposite by my getting cranky and scowling at any person (man or woman), lol.
That's a mindset you'll need to be rid of if you want success.I should also mention I have extreme dating woes, so being irritable and essentially starved of "stress relief" (since getting laid is my Mt. Everest) is kind of a case of the tail wagging the dog.

Or not, as the case may be*rimshot*
So if I don't want to go hardcore "no fap for 90 days" rout, and instead take a sissy "don't fap if you aren't with your girlfriend" route, do I also have to stop watching porn, etc.?
Trying it for the novelty of it, Day 3 now, GF comes on Thursday, so there is never more than a week apart. Kinda dubious such short time will help in anything.
The key for me was giving up porn itself. I haven't looked at Internet porn in maybe 2 months, and I've done more graphic design projects in the last few weeks than I had in the last few years before it. The psychological benefits are great, but I still jerk off if I won't be getting laid for a few days. I just do it without watching porn.
There is little practical difference between the two. Both are using your visual sense to create arousal. 'Porn fantasy' is a good way to describe it.like i can very easily masturbate from memory of my own sexual experiences, do i have to stop that

And really, I stress that porn or fantasy isn't bad at all. Its if you've over-indulged and given yourself a problem.
ok, so what do i do to not just like subconsciously masturbate in my sleep
In your sleep? Nothing. As the process goes on you will have a lot of sexy dreams and the fiercest morning wood you've had for years.ok, so what do i do to not just like subconsciously masturbate in my sleep

For the rest of the day, you've got to just be mentally disciplined and think about other things. There's not easy, zen-like solution to that. It is without a doubt the hardest part of the process.
Sounds like a wild ride.If you're a HEAVY porn user, you will notice effects after 2 weeks. You will be beaming with energy.
You will also feel depressed before and after that though.
Oh and you will also encounter "dead dick". Your penis will be shrivled into nothingness and you will literally think its broken. Its not. It will come back stronger.
Porn is a hell of a drug.

I just load up Google images and search for my favourite porn stars and look at the pics.

If you're trying to not fap for 90 days, it really helps.Oh God.
But I wanna be a werewolfThe benefits of not watching porn are different from the benefits of not fapping - having sex, especially with a stable partner, is beneficial to your psyche - your goal shouldn't be to turn yourself into a pussy hungry werewolf, but to increase the quality of your life and increase your productivity by avoiding internet porn, specifically.
If I wasn't masturbating, I'd probably end up cheating on my long-term girlfriend the next time some drunk girl puts her hand on my thigh at a bar. I can't stand the nearly permanent arousal that comes from going 4-5 days without spanking it.

Porn is a hell of a drug.
If I don't masturbate for over a week, I get random boners constantly, like if I were 14.
I was doing fine but there was this girl in my class that was hot as fucking hell and instead of having sex with her I went home and jacked one off. =[
But, bonus round: once life returns, it returns bigger than before. True story.
I don't tend to be spontaneously verbal but I let out a few joyous expletives when I beheld the glory.
It has been 56 days for me. I never thought that I had any addictions but this has been a good exercise for me. I wanted to encourage everyone who is trying to drop porn cold turkey that it can be done and many times self denial is much better than giving in. Develop some will power and it will do wonders for your confidence. Stay strong people.
The Dark One
I think we should have a topic where we try this.
The difference being that instead of calling it the stop masturbating challenge, we could call it Abstaining From Yourself. Hopefully that follows any decency requirement required by the board.
Whatever happened to the contest thread?
This experiment is in direct opposition to my culture's need for me to be docile and easily manipulated. Therefore, I reject it and its common sense. My culture tells me to do things in absolute excess until its unhealthy and then keep going from there. Food. Technology. Communication. Consumerism. Sex. All perfectly fine things, so why not pig out on it all? What could possibly go wrong? It's freedom!
Sarcasm aside, I'm in. (The "in" is referring to the experiment, not...yeah know)
PM'ed Hitokage to no response. Opiate was in this thread, so I guess if he's still reading: May I make a GPE thread to gather participants or not?lol.
Plywood, what's the word on the new experiment thread?
