Quitting Masturbation - My Journal

[gookmique]

I want to keep a journal of my effort to go without masturbation and this place seems like a cool place to do it.

So I'll answer the obvious question: why?

Let me start off by saying that I like to masturbate... It feels good, it's relaxing, it distracts me when I'm angry, sad, etc., and it's entertaining.

So why quit? I've noticed that when I don't masturbate, I have more energy to do things. A lot of people claim this isn't true and I believe them. I believe that it doesn't give THEM more energy... but I've noticed a definite difference between a day where I've masturbated and one where I haven't.

Second, not masturbating gives me more desire, not just for sex, but for other things I care about as well. When I don't masturbate I can work myself up to do things I would normally not give a shit about.

Third, not masturbating makes me more interested in women and vise versa. For whatever reason, probably the increased testosterone, I feel more confident, energetic, and sexy when I don't masturbate and it seems like women pick up on this. I can be pretty introverted and the few times I've managed to go some time without masturbating in the past, it's gotten me out there and dating which is a lot of fun and a lot more memorable than beating off.

So let me end this by saying that it will be a challenge, I've been trying particularly hard the last few weeks and I haven't even gone 2 solid days. I'm using something called neuro-linguistic programming to help me along and I feel it's my only advantage.

I'm going to post every night, tomorrow will be day 1.

[khaos14]

Good luck. God be with you...

If you don't make it can I have your car?:lol:
Good luck

[The Pretender]

You feel you have more energy on days you haven't masturbated because when you do masterbate most people feel really mellow and just feel like relaxing and not doing much and Good Luck!

[Nihilus]

Good luck!!!!!:D

[Dolphus Raymond]

I've heard a lot of people do this before for religious reasons, but I look forward to seeing someone do it for these reasons. Please keep us updated :)

As everyone else said, good luck!

[Patchy]

I wish you the best of luck in doing this...it will be hard but once you overcome it you will feel great :)

[gookmique]

Well, initally, yesterday was going to be my first day. But, I felt the need to go just 1 more day with masturbating. I woke up late today, around 1 p.m. so I won't be awake for too long; therefore I won't have much time to want to masturbate.

Since being the first day of this project, I don't have many mixed feelings so far I.E. being extremely horny. I'm sure I'll get bored today and want to masturbate. But I can't.

I atleast want to go 2 weeks without masturbation. That will break my old record of 6 days, and add on. This will be a challenge, but I feel it must be done.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'll update later tonight or tomorrow.

You read a lot of people wanting to quiet masturbation but these are pretty good reasons, it just depends what you want more :)

[scatman]

Wow, Great Job and Good Luck! I was trying that just to see if I had enough self-discipline and I lasted 17 days, The only reason I j/o'd was because my friend that I have wanted to j/o with forever wanted to do it.

But good luck! And remember to keep us updated!

Good luck. the longest I've went is like 6 days, but I've definitely cut back in the last year or two, so I only do it once every couple of days.

[Sage]

Best of luck, pal. It's been a good 8 or 9 months since I've last done it.

[forChrist07]

And does anyone know if the whole prostate cancer thing is real or not? I've heard it so many times. Does anyone know for sure?

I don't know about the whole prostate cancer thing, evryone masturbates, yet there's still alot of prostate cancer, so i don't think the link is real strong there. I think prostate cancer, like a lot of cancers, tends to be genetic.

[CollegeHockey]

I tried to quit before and it hard. I only lasted about a week.
p.s wouldn't you guys have your longest steaks around 11 years unless you masturbated when you were 5, lol.

[Gavin]

I wonder how he's geting on ?

[Ryandel]

Good Luck, maybe I'll try again

[Dale]

Well, just as I expected I only went 6 days; then I masturbated. Lol, I actually forgot about this thread. I'm still trying though, it just isn't going anywhere.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

By now I hope this helps everyone realize that there really isn't any reason to STOP. I mean... power to ya for trying but it's kinda like trying to hold a really big crap (lol). You can go for a while but sooner or later (usually sooner) its gonna HAVE TO come out :D

[jma94]

Wow; This is definatly a hard task. :3 I've got lots of self dicipline, I went 3 months without it, but well, I started again because, meh, It relives stress, and I needed that. I hope you meet you're goal and good luck.
