Are you more succesful with them?

Day 2

Failed on friday, saturday night got a BJ so I don't know if that counts or not

this isn't turning out so well for me thus far

 

[PDubb75]

I recently passed the 100 day mark and lately I noticed a definite change in the way I percieve women. Now it's less about their absolute physical appearance and more about tiny little details I didn't notice before like the way they walk, talk, dance, smile, look, wiggle their nose, their personality, ... Truth be told, I like it this way better. Plus, I don't feel randomly depressed anymore.


Tho, you should know about this little trick I started using. Before I would get say up to 40 days, then slip, reset to 0 and lose all motivation. Not good. This time I slipped around day 35 and I told myself I ain't counting this. I'm gonna cheat. No motivation lost. Then same thing around day 80 - cheat and don't lose motivation. Be smart, trick your own mind if you have to. Btw, I feel no urge to watch porn/fap anymore. I only crave women

Now, I'm far from a chronic masturbater, but I have never reached anywhere close to 100 days (45-ish is my max). Everything you describe as to what you like better now that you have stopped, I experience now even when I'm not trying to stop. I always notice those little things about a girl, and I actually blame that on why I am so picky. People will point out some girl they think is hot, and then I'll comment on something about her they never even noticed.

And I am never lacking urge/motivation to go for girls. I don't using masturbation as a fall-back at all. Makes me question if the benefit for me is worth it.

From forum.bodybuilding.com:

"Serious thread. This seems like bullshiit but I'm not lying.

Was beta, depressed, had anxiety before.

Almost three weeks in, no fap no porn. So much change that I can not adjust.

I don' know if my body smells like straight testosterone, but something is going on. My mind is blown at the increased attention I am getting from women. Girls that I have known, and complete strangers. I understand girls that I know showing more interest, considering that I am much more social and flirtatious, but complete strangers are hitting on me hard as fuk.

Girls literally fighting over me. Not combat, but "drama" type.
Get way too much attention at bars and clubs. I feel overwhelmed but it does not show, they just keep coming.
Girls keep giving me their numbers and actually asking me to fuk them, I don;t even know what to do.
Get eye fuked all day.
I have so many options that it's overwhelming.

I have almost no anxiety so I flirt with every girl no matter what.
It takes a lot more alcohol to have any effect on me.
Had to but new polo's because of the gains. (Strength, and size increase from my new appetite)"

Still going strong, 1 more day and it will be 3 weeks now ,

I feel like i'm more witty in my convos, much more fun, better eye contact

After work I was walking with a coworker of mine while she was eating an icecream i dropped her some silly inuendoes, since she wasnt good at getting at this ice cream out of the wrapping. She laughed for a good while and I imagine my stone cold facial expression at the time which only made it harder for her to pull it together.

Definitely worth it.

Is this thread serious? I have gone from spanking several times a day to literally no sexual activity for weeks and I never noticed anything.

 

[ebracer05]

I've seen this a few times and have been considering it. I'm going to give it a go. I know the best way to start something is not by assuming failure, but I really don't know if I can hack this. It's been a challenge enough not to masturbate when I know I'm going to see a girl.

Anyways, tomorrow will be day one.

BTW, do sex acts with real females count as faping? If that's the case, f*ck this!

 

[ebracer05]

That dude who said week 2 is the killer... Week 1 is the killer... DAY 1 is the killer.

I don't know how I'm gonna do this. I am a horny SOB at the end of the day and it's not realistic to see my GF every day, more than once, to have her take care of business for me.

But so far, I have been true.

Day 6. For real this time. I don't want to suppress my sexual urges or sexuality, but I can't let boobs or butts fvck with my attitude.

Day 1.

Damn, dude. Impressive. Any benefit to abstaining that long? Was there any noticeable difference between 2 weeks and 2 months?

I see this whole thing differently than you guys do.
I have no scientific research or proof to back up this claim, just purely from documenting on how I feel day-to-day has lead me to this belief.

I believe the reason you would still feel great energy after you've masturbated is because your testosterone levels are still high.
Just because you've fapped once doesn't completely deplete yourself of all the days you went without it.

If you were to continue doing it a few times a day for 3-4 days in a row, I bet you'd start to feel tired.
The dopamine in your brain will at very high levels and will cause you to feel lethargic, lazy etc

I don't think you should see it as Day 1, Day 2 etc
Because once you've "broken" it you'll feel like you're starting all over.
By just cutting it down to once a week you've actually done your body a huge favour.

Masturbation isn't bad, over-masturbation is bad. Just like anything else. Too much of anything is a bad thing.

^^what about sex then, does that logic apply as well?

 

[Rocky92]

I am on day 16 and something has scared the **** out of me. For the first week and a half I felt great. But today I saw the finest female in these tight yoga pants...something that I would have gone crazy over before, but I felt nothing!!!? Has anybody experienced this? I am on the verge of calling it quits and need advice. Ishould have a raging sex drive at this point right??

Has anybody experienced this? I would appreciate advice from experience rather than a theory because I know many of us are hyped up on the positives of it(as I was too) but I need to kno for sure, I dont wanna end up with ED or some ****. Mayb its because ive been completely dry (no gf at this point). but I have heard alot about this 7 to 10 day peak and then dropp off point. Idk, I am confused at it all. but I dont know wat to do. Has anybody experienced it but kept going and felt it return? Im very motivated but if I feel that my **** is goin dead than ill jump off thw wagon rite here

Somebody please help me out!

I believe physically the body can't tell the diference between sex and masturbation, it's all just ejaculation.

If you're banging a girl 3 times a day for 4 days straight you're still going to feel lethargic and lazy.
But I don't think your confidence will be affected. Fulfilling sex doesn't come with the emotions of guilt and loneliness that masturbation has.

Regular ejaculation is healthy for your body so I don't necessarily agree with this thread about trying to go as long as possible without it.

The difference with over-masturbation is the damage is done psychologically. If you're on a quest to chase women yet you continue to over-fap, the constant feelings of guilt and shame and loneliness will take over your brain.
Add that to the physical affects and you're just not going to be as affective chasing women as if you were to cut down to once a week max.

I've chosen to completely give up porn and masturbation and rely on sex with my girlfriend for release. I was finding my sex drive to be lacking because I could have that satisfaction whenever I wanted and I used to prefer the variety of porn to looking at my own girlfriend.
But since cutting it out our sex life has improved dramatically and my confidence remains higher.

I definitely believe there is a link between over-masturbation and social anxiety. It won't give you social anxiety but if you already have social anxiety then over-fapping will heighten the effects of it.

Wow. Incredible article. Thanks for sharing.


Edit - That link lead me to finding this little nugget:

RESULTS:

A wide range of better psychological and physiological health indices are associated specifically with penile-vaginal intercourse. Other sexual activities have weaker, no, or (in the cases of masturbation and anal intercourse) inverse associations with health indices. Condom use appears to impair some benefits of penile-vaginal intercourse. Only a few of the research designs allow for causal inferences.
