I wish I'd start flatlining soon so that making it to the 30 day mark would be easier. Then again, it's possible that it doesn't even happen for me. It doesn't happen to everybody.
I'm trying to avoid all kinds of sexual stimulation but I'm at a point where I'm ultra-sensitive to all-kinds of visuals. Like there is a thumbnail of a girl in a bikini on youtube related videos and my eyes dart immediately there. Kind of makes you see exactly how over-sexual modern society is. Not that there's anything bad in it, just makes this kind of experiments tougher. These instincts were there obviously before this experiment started, but now I've become more conscious of them and they have grown even stronger.
My productivity really took a hit last week. I've been tracking the things I do on Joe's goals for a long time and this week had a pretty low score. Yesterday I did almost nothing all day, except for exercising. Don't know if this is related to this experiment or whether I just had a lazy day. It's not that I've never had those before. :P I should be keeping myself busy though, downtime is my worst enemy at the moment. But I guess that's all I have to report at this point. I'm off to do some yoga, maybe I'll feel better after it. I usually do.
My Lord, I have failed you. I beg thee forgiveness and allowance of a reset.

I could imagine it being hard for him if he starts thinking about it. 365 days would overwhelm me, for me even the 30-day mark feels so distant at times.
Hey Weakamon :cheeky:
Remember 15 days ago when you masturbated. Possibly to porn. Remember that. How amazing it felt. Don't you want that feeling to come back?
:3 if pics won't work maybe words will
How much longer do you have with a set of sex organs that work the way they're supposed to? You want to waste them on some deranged sense of control?
Dave, there's (possibly) real benefits to be attained from abstaining masturbation, especially if you're a porn addict (like me). Check out: Your Brain On Porn | Evolution has not prepared your brain for today's Internet porn.
erhm, go now, your courage has saved you. You're free to reset, but you know the consequence: Jan 15 2013 will be the deadline for you :)Quote:

THE PROPHESIED DAY 15: SUCCESS

Yesterday, while pooping...
I started a no fap challenge about 77 days ago over on reddit. I find that the temptation to look at porn is much harder to fight than fapping. This is my first attempt at such a thing, and somehow, have gone the 77 straight days. Check out Your Brain On Pr0nz.
Good luck on going a year!
That's great KushyBear. What effects have you noticed?
imposible to do,hmmmmm,i've never masturbated in my life,goes to good parenting and knowing it dangers
... This should be good
Mmmm, I'm much more "extroverted," in a sense, being in my body. I honestly don't care what people think about me, I just do what I like, violating social norms and all. But nothing too unacceptable. I see females as people now, not just sex objects; nor do I immediately imagine undressing them or a fantasy with those cuter ones xp. I consciously hold eye contact now, making sure I don't break it first. I've noticed females can sense something about me, maybe that I'm not talking to them just for sex. So I get more attention from girls now. As for the guys, I think they sense something too, but most just try to act "normal." Dumb insecurities in most men.
I'm doing this more to rewire my brain, getting it away from a numbed pleasure response. But fapping and porn aren't my only triggers, so I haven't seen anything too profound yet.
I do however have an overall abundance of energy. When I first started out, I'd do as many push/sit-ups whenever I got an urge. As my libido lowered, I transferred the energy into running.
I can't say that these results are directly from no fap, for I have dipped into Nootropics and some seduction, along with working out.
But as I said earlier, porn is much harder to overcome than fapping. Though, I haven't failed at that yet either xp.
Thanks for the answer. That push-up/sit-up thing is actually a good tip, how didn't I even think about that? Anyway, that gives me more motivation to push onward and see if I get similar results.
This thread has inspired me to try going a whole day. Will I make it?
Nope.

Someone should do a study on this.
Do you think nootropics helped at all? From what I've heard, they have a tendency to give you boners all the time, because they're vasodilators.
I've been thinking about getting on them too, as soon as I can find a reliable source that isn't some dodgy asian warehouse pharmacy.
Haha, ah.... that pains of using toilets.Quote:
