Day 4 - Already noticing a difference but unsure as to whether it's all in my head yet. Certainly feeling more focused and problems a lot clearer, concentration seems to have improved also.
I'm enjoying the 'conquering' myself aspect as well.

Day 8.
Noticing a for sure increase in energy, definitely isn't placebo.
Last night I went to bed at my usual time to get ready for the work week. I couldn't sleep and ended up staying up reading about 3/4 of The Great Gatsby haha.
I woke up this morning, refreshed and energetic without feeling I have had any lack of sleep.
So far, increased energy is a for sure, confirmed, effect from this.
Just think about it. That such a small change, something that usually lasts no more than a 10 minute process 3 x a week, can drastically affect energy this much, it's mind boggling.

i will try this soon in the future to see. i haven't noticed any drop in energy since i've started working out and been fapping. and it's been months. however a few days ago i went to the club a few girls were noticing me and a girl approached me. earlier in the day i fapped and also worked out.

Good job guys. It is true that regular masturbation can affect your energy levels. Here are some facts:Purefilth said:
1) Semen contains significant levels of zinc
2) Semen contains significant levels of magnesium
3) Many people are deficient in #1 and/or #2
4) #1 & #2 are TRACE minerals, meaning that you don't find a lot of them in food. So even though your *** is just a few teaspoons, it can have a significant affect on your body.
5) Zinc and magnesium are important co-factors of vitamin D. What does that mean? Well your body cannot synthesize/use vitamin D if you don't have sufficient levels of zinc or magnesium.
6) Your body naturally makes vitamin D through your skin being exposed to sunlight. But what is really making the vitamin D is the natural OIL in your skin. When your body is not synthesizing adequate levels of vitamin D, your body tries to compensate by producing more oil. This situation can result in increased acne. So the "myth" about masturbation and acne isn't really a myth, there is some truth to it.
Do some research on zinc supplements for curing acne if you don't believe me. You will find a lot of people excitedly claiming that they cured their acne with zinc pills. These observations follow directly from the items above.
Zinc, magnesium and vitamin D are also very important for general bodily functions, which is likely why you are experiencing increased energy. You don't have to cut out masturbation or sex from your life, just do everything in moderation and listen to what your body is telling you.
As a side note, I can't quite explain why, but masturbation has affected me more in the past than sex. *** is ***, but for some reason I noticed a difference in energy. I was less tired after sex than after masturbation.

I will admit though, I have caught myself edging a few times.
It's not even like i'm aware its happening.
I remember reading people before saying they were failing and just shaking my head at them like 'cmon have some self control men'
Now after being 9 days in, my d*** is looking super healthy and almost anything will get it excited. A hot girl starts flirting with me or says something dirty and I cant help but notice my hand start to twitch.
Very tempting and almost mindless
crazy to hear all the reviews guys, and yeah I agree, much more energy.
I'm excited to see how it affects my approaches
I failed after Day 6...and the second go around I'm on Day 4.
@TillTheEndofTime
Researchers have done studies on why men are less "tired" after sex than masturbation, it's because there's another physical presence during the act and those interactions cause a $hit ton more human hormones and emotions to run wild more than masturbation ever will.
I'm not a scientist I'm a finance guy, so I won't try to use big words here, but if y'all will take the time to look it up, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Well.. This awkward.
Today is day 10 again. I failed here 11 days ago but as today is going to be a long day i will most likely make it to day 11.
positive's
less instances of random timidness
more confident and less caring
feeling more accomplished (i also do other things as well)
more energy when lifting
more aggressive which further pushes me to approach
negatives
alot of girls that i'm normally not attracted to are much more appealing now
I get major urges of needing a release now and again
puts me on edge with wanting to go on the prowl (causes me to stare more often)

So are you suppose to stay away from all media stimulants. Be it movies, tv shows, magazines that have sexual stimulant images. I mean when are you suppose to draw an end and what would be considering edging if your not looking at porn?

Anything X-rated or above.
movies are fine, porn isnt.
I'm sure you'll be able to distinguish the two apart lol
unless somehow your watching porn that actually has a good plot haha

So me watching Game of Thrones or any Rated R movie that has nudity is perfectly fine? Or me glancing at Victoria Secret images while roaming the mall?
I just want to double check. That's all. Sorry if what I'm saying is being repeated over again.

After 4 days of not "fapping", I had sex and I noticed that I lasted WAY longer during sex. Idk if that was due to not fapping or what? lol...BUT when i pulled out to nut (i don't use condoms with my gf), i started stroking my own d*ck and busted on her stomach...is that still considered fapping still? And then later on that night i n*tted again from a *******/handjob...does this count?

I think it depends on the boundaries you set yourself in the challenge, I'd count it as sex, not fapping.Blue Hef said:
But up to you.

My boundary is no *** on the back of your knuckles...every now and then I stroke a little bit, but don't nut. Don't look at porn either...9 days in and as long as I'm working out, I don't even have temptation. I want to bust that nut, but ****, I'd rather bust it in some ***** or in some hoes mouth so I hold it. I'm in a dirty dry streak, too much of nuthin. Goin on vacay tomorrow though, and no pvssy like out of town pvssy!
