So why don't you just go to the mall or the store and look at the real thing (real females) rather than pictures, which are fake and will more than likely cause you to edge and then view porn?

I can't do that right cause I'm working on a research paper. But whenever I do have free time and feel like looking at that stuff, I'm going to do basically what you suggested or something else productive. So much time wasted looking at that shit...

Yep. I know exactly how you feel.
Exactly. I feel ya. Just so you can keep this in mind. I was 11 days strong but relapsed because I began viewing photos of girls online. I was edging so bad that I began to masturbate to the images I saw and then used my imagination to finish off towards climax. I felt so bad afterwards because I wasted so much time. Almost late for work. Disappointed.
Masturbation leads to procrasination. Give it up and focus your mind and energy on things that are important. It's your brain constantly seeking novelty. It's bored right now because your doing something not to exciting which in this sense that research paper (lol). Something that is simply not giving off much dopamine.
It takes time to be stronger at this reboot. It takes patient but the payoff is so awesome. I did this 90 day challenge before back in novemeber of last year. I went all the way up to early Feb. Sucks but I'm going to get past this. And it doesn't help that I suffer sometimes from social anxiety which halts my attempt at talking to girls.
You might have a better situation than me. So I'm assuming you do. Feel better about that and get out there if the opportunity comes up. You see a girl flirting take it. It's better than mastubating and remaining lonely constantly and wasting all your years away.
Hope this helps...

Only on day 3 now (lasted 8 days last time). I am noticing some differences already and i'll be interested to see if this keeps up.

So..its okay to fap to your imagination?
Still being a virgin is feasible. Never masturbating, though? Yeah, right.
No. The challenge is a No Masturbation challenge. Why would your own imagination count?
Yeah, this sounds fishy. I could maybe buy that he doesn't look at porn but even then - never masturbating does not sound authentic.
he didn't have internet access before 17-18 ? no access to cable porn either I suppose....
but does anyone even know of such a person ?
never experienced an orgasm not even once.... or masturbated
never ever
so he's pretty much been on no fap for the past 24 years....
and I'm still wondering if he is lying is ass off
He was also a tightass with high standards back in high school
and during a time I told him masturbating was bad for him so he never did it.... (middleschool)
he knows about 4chan and internet culture... so idk
I'd say he's lying. At the very least he's had wet dreams so he knows the sensation. And I can not see how someone could live for 24 years and never try masturbating. I mean, it's something that teenage boys talk about all the time so there's no way he would even be unaware of it.

He could be asexual. I mean if I were to put money on it I would say he's a dirty liar, but it's certainly not out of the realm of all possibility.
Asexuals are not sexually attracted to anyone. That does not mean that they do not masturbate.
screwed up. gave in.
back to day one.
this is a lot harder than i thought it would be. doesnt help that i hardly see my gf, and when i do shes usually too tired to do anything.
ah well. 90 days is going to be mighty lonely.
In the few days i did manage to hold out though, nothing interested me, not even her, felt pretty bad.

Week one is about to be over for me. I'm just now starting to have some urges and I get the feeling it'll get worse. This is probably the longest I held out but i feel good about it. Oh wow your in this to Jinty, we should be like support buddies in case one of us has the urge to cave.
Day 4 almost done (relapsed again just to start on a Monday). Time to beat is still 13 days. No wet dreams (never had one I don't think) and no morning wood like my last attempt. I probably won't start feeling good about myself until day 10.
Anyway, I've attempted this 3 times prior now and each time I hit week 2, my face started looking better. It seemed less inflammed. Everytime I relapse it goes back to flaring up. Maybe it's a placebo thing, but I'll take it! I'll do it for my face too!

OK GUYS I NEED HELP!
I got frustrated due to some friend bailing out on the last second. So now I am stuck at home with nothing to do! I got a pack of Hard Mikes and I don't work tomorrow.
I'm thinking of getting drunk and just go to sleep, but it's not even 10:00pm yet.
My fiance is at work and right now my only companion is my Wii, My PC, and some books I read long ago.

It could also mean a lack of interest in sex in general. I wouldn't doubt that most people best described as asexual masturbate but it's the only way I could see someone being that age and not having sex/masturbating at all. But again, my money would be on him being full of you know what.
Atta boy, the first few days are the most nerve-wracking.
I'd like to know too... is it no masturbation? no sex + masturbation? no porn?
Just use the wii-mote and pretend like you're getting off on that.
Seriously though, take a piss or a walk outside. Assuming you don't jack off after pissing.
No porn, masturbation, and no getting off on fantasies. Sex is allowed. It's not really a challenge; more like rehab for porn addicts. If it helps by making it a game feel free. Most just post updates here.

Interesting. I've gone for weeks, mostly because of travel, but have never really seen it as a willpower thing. 90 days is... intriguing. I'm not anti-masturbation though but I don't see what the harm is in stopping for a brief period.
Do I have enough willpower to do this? In the last year or so I've quit TV for the most part, stopped drinking pop, and gradually reduced my gaming purchases so porn seems like another likely item to add to the list. Maybe after that I can work on reducing my time spent online.
I guess I'll join.

I guess I was never addicted cause this ain't no thang. It's been three or four weeks now and I never really crave it. Of course seeing beautiful girls in bikinis seems to do way more for me now than in the past. I feel like when I was a kid who got his hands on a Victoria's Secret catalog. Funny how the simple things seem to stand out much more now.
So I go out after work for a few drinks, and the current GF tosses a slew of "omg your at a bar have fun with the sluts" type messages at me...and the sad part is when I was leaving I could have done exactly that.
But, I am home posting this and not "slaying the pussy" as she claims I was out doing...and instead of a rage fap I'm gonna go sleep.
Who knew day one would be so hard, lol

Rage fap? The hell?
Go to her place and show her just how you "slay the pussy" (that's a terrible euphemism)
If she didn't live an hour and change away as opposed to my 5 minute drive home, maybe.
NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Never thought I'd say this: But to my pleasant surprise I'm having very hard time streaming online porn on my new iPad, Safari won't play anything, porn sites are recommending me to download this stupid $3 App, to download and convert streaming clips from popular porn sites. (F' that noise) not purchasing no stupid App.
I have this other third party browser and that one for some reason is totally blocking porn sites for me! Well Hey! Works for me, Thanks Apple!
Please do not dare to recommend or suggest workarounds etc.

I feel like I sound like a bitch, but going through with this sort of makes me "uncomfortable," is if I'm forgetting to do something I should be doing. I'm on day 4 of 90 and have held strong, no serious temptations, but I do find myself having to re-justify this hiatus to myself. I actually took time to talk to my girlfriend about the entire thing because I figured it would be easier if I have someone besides just myself to be accountable to, and she's excited for it. Actually, since we only see each other on weekends right now, I find myself counting down until the weekend when I get to see her next more than anything.
Also, for my personal "challenge" here, I'm basically abstaining 100% from porn, 100% from masturbating, and as much as possible from any images/TV/etc that normally turn me on. Attempting to limit myself to only stimulation from a real, actual, in-person woman.
Stay strong, whoever else is going through with this.
This is the way to go, bro. You'll have no problems going through the 90.

Okay, I'm on day 5 but I had a very vivid dream last night. Probably the first one I've had in a while.
In my dream I was dumping shredded cheddar cheese in a pint glass of beer.
wtf.

I'm on day 5 as well and I've had some dreams the past 2 days. One involved swinging on a tree swing, but the swing was a gold toilet instead of a wood seat. The other had something to do with guiding my brother, who for some reason was blind, through a maze.
Still going strong!
