It will be a week once I complete today that I have not PMO!! Wow I feel so good. Glad I got over the 2 to 3 day hurdle. I always seem to cave in around that time. But it seems like a breeze now. I've been flirting a lot with various different ladies. Jesus, I just get so horny once I see or hear the ladies teasing me. Good feeling. I've been resting, exercising, reading books (downloaded The Hunger Games from the Kindle iPhone app). Just feeling great. Full of enegry. Not mad at the world.

Love it. 80 days more. I can do it!

That's not how weeks work.

Anyway, congrats! As for myself, I'm on day 3 after two failed attempts. Really didn't expect it to get this hard at times. But I'm confident this time around!

Just watched the video in the OP. Mind blown.

That's it, I'm quitting. Starting NOW


Ironically, I have just finished downloading perhaps my biggest porn haul ever... I guess that's going to the vault.

 

[Suairyu]

I don't think my intent was saying 'this success thing is really tough so I'll set myself to fail." Where'd you get that from?

Because if you have access to porn, you have access to failure. Letting yourself see it is setting yourself up for failure.

Just cut it out. All of it.

Job done. Succeed.

 

[ecurbj]

I think that's where many are trying to get to.

For me I have become aware that I let porn become an outlet for my sexual energy which has sapped my sex drive for real life partners and has damaged my drive to court, flirt and continue to follow through with females.

I know it played a role in problems with my last relationship and ones before that......all I'm saying is that its easier said than done to stop looking at porn and begin recovering properly.

Well of course. If you trained your brain that "I can get an easier high dopamine mix masturbating rather than taking the risk to talk to a girl and getting laid". Which path is the laziest way? The former would be the better path, am I right? So you continue on the path masturbating because your to lazy to "game" that female for sex.

Well obviously, but when you didn't close that night, but you did have the girl grinding your dick with her perfect ass, then beating it off when you get home is quite the relief.

Exactly, so you conditioned yourself to "get off" when you get rejected or things don't work out. You made your brain find the easy way out. Rather than giving it the alternative to moving on to the next girl if that one plays hard to get.

Porn just made it easier for our brain to get that "high dopamine" explosion rather than risking potential mates.

That's not how weeks work.

Anyway, congrats! As for myself, I'm on day 3 after two failed attempts. Really didn't expect it to get this hard at times. But I'm confident this time around!

Than what is it? If that's not how weeks work then break it down.

Fair enough, good point.

9 days in. I find myself feeling strongly about this girl who I was talking with last year, like those feelings had gone earlier this year but now I want to talk to her more often and stuff. I can't tell if it's just me really horny or if they're genuine.

Horny. You see a potential mate you wanna fuck. So start up a conversation. Take her out. Flirt with her. See where it goes. She initiates or likes the flirting signals she will give you the opening.

Go for it. Having sex with a girl that wants you in the 3D world is way more beneficial than a 2D counterpart. GO!

 

[Naked Snake]

The previous thread about this didn't phase me at all (since ED is not exactly my problem), but this talk about Dopamine, ADHD, focus and memory impairment, etc. hit a bullseye for me. It was exactly what I needed to hear to question my porn (and to a lesser extent, internet in general) usage habits.

I'm gonna pull this off.

Don't worry; a new thread about craving hookers can only be a couple of days away.

Just pulling your leg.

Spoiler

You said it would be a week (aka 7 days) today and at the end you declared "80 days more", which would mean that you were aiming for 87 instead of 90 days.

 

[Xun]

Eh.

I may as well start.

Ha ! Good one. That's fake son. No matter how much you put it.

Exactly. He must be an attention whore. The threads he posts in OT explains that. Dude didn't even read the OP. Let alone provide why he thinks it's worthless. A troll at its finest.

Ah ! Ha ! Sorry I started this 90 day challenge April 24, 2012. So I am correct when I say today will be a week. Once I complete this day however.

I mean to say (it was 3AM in the morning when I typed that post). I have 82 days left of the challenge.

He's a sex-obsessed failure with women who calls them "sluts" and thinks he's the next Blame Space because he's watched a few CK Louis DVDs.

 

[Hieberrr]

That's it. I am taking the black!

No porn for a week. Then, 2 weeks.

LET'S DO THIS!

I believe this. I have fapped and watched a lot of porn the last couple of months, and despite getting plenty of attention from women, I have yet to get liad in the last while. I also binge a lot on sugar adn fast food, and even porn when I get a chance. I'm going to try this challenge. I plan on moving right by camps for my last year of school. It would be a shame to have a chance to get intimate with so many women at my uni only to have it ruined because I 'm watching too much porn and fapping. HERE WE GO!

 

[Cuban Legend]

AFAIK "Contest" aren't allowed. But what if we held our own Great Porn Experiment?

wait what? but why did we get banned from having another contest? was it because of *the people temping everyone with all the nearly-nude pics?

*Fuck you guys, i wanted to do another one this year.

(four weeks to go on the dot today, woop, woop)

 

[Dever]

I'm getting close to two weeks and I think I'm going through a 'flatline'. I really don't have much urges at all. Hope I didn't break anything lol.

 

[BeesEight]

That would actually be ideal. I'm coming up on week three and I'm still getting urges. Albeit, they're not as strong before. They mostly just spring up randomly throughout the day instead of being a pressing intrusion the entire time.

And from what I've read, it's normal. You'll come back stronger than ever soon. So no worries.

 

[Suairyu]

Pretty much.

This thread is self-improvement. The contest threads were just "look at these borderline pornographic images without wanking!"

 

[Bay Maximus]

Nothing to do with pics IIRC. It had to do with the uncertainty involving Big Google's stance on 'objectionable material' on sites they advertise with. But from what I've seen the rules haven't been nearly as Draconian as once feared. It doesn't feel like it should be a problem but we still haven't gotten a yea or nay from a mod yet.

Oh it's definitely gonna happen, I just won't see her until the summertime.

You know, I actually remember not so long ago when Skin Diamond made her debut.

I can't tell if you're trying to help everyone or sabotage them.

Started this yesterday and I'm running through day 2 no problem.

I ignore when he does that. I take it as he is venting. But he does need to stop because it might make others edge.

Good job. Usually day 2 or 3 has me edging and I relapse back to watching porn. But I'm to far in now. 8 days and going strong.

I prefer to call it "tough love" - I will see you all through this but you must be tested! I don't want my flock to ScarJo out on me.

Or to put it another way, I'm stressing your willpower. I'm only using text! (and one Queen music video...) You guys gotta learn to not google on impulse.

Day 4 has been really difficult for me. I think I just need to get over this hump and then it should be smooth(ish) sailing from there.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So, it's the porn itself that triggers dopamine?

Wow, weird how the brain rewires itself like that. I wonder if I can rewire my brain to trigger dopamine all the time.

But that'd probably kill me or leave me dead inside.

90 days will come and go in no time. We got this.

I just read the text of the google results so I'm not falling off that easy.

I don't think that's something you'd like. Seems to me like constant dopamine hits would make you complacent as hell.

 

[FallingEdge]

So from what I understand:

1) No porn
2) No masturbation
3) Do your best to ignore porn/proactive pics/etc.

You are allowed to have sex and you are allowed to nut but only if it is with another person. And if you really must rub one out, do it without the assistance of porn. What about erotic stories? Does that fall under the porn category? I would think so but just wondering.

Day 1, no problem.

Alright guys, 1 day!

I'm about to go sleep so no temptations for me today.

 

[Atramental]

Day 2 has passed and I'm a-okay. For me week 2 is when the real challenge begins.

And speaking of weeks I'll probably post an update every 7 days so that I'm not obsessively posting in this thread.

 

[Exclamation-One]

Day 0.

[Emily Chu]

So I've started making my own POV porn... does this count ?

full cycle here have a office + a brown leather couch + a desk and everything where girls + Transgender Girls ages 18-26 will go for $500-1000 "auditions".

This is... a rather unique scenario.

But yeah, you can't watch or fap to your own porn after you've made it.

The only thing that's allowed is intercourse, in the flesh, with another person.

and to think of it... it's all POV in my POV on the computer screen so I would be fapping to /watching myself's POV.....

my mind is melting
