365 days w/o Jerking Off: A self control challenge

**littlezoe** · 05-09-2012 10:11 AM

Well, that tip won't be much of an use, but thanks Spyguy, lol.

**Spyguy** · 05-09-2012 03:52 PM

Ah damn, how could I miss that D: It was mainly a reaction to Wolfwood who said 'and what if you meet a girl?', so I didn't even check. Sorry

**littlezoe** · 05-11-2012 08:38 AM

Okay, i'm weak

I was talking about this challenge with someone and they convinced me that it's not worth it

I'll travel to failure land

**Wolfwood** · 05-11-2012 09:17 AM

Ahahah. 2 years ago, I succeeded with this for a month. Every time I tried it after, I failed. Welcome to the land. ^_^ Mostly because I convince myself by any means that there isn't much reason to do it the challenge...

**littlezoe** · 05-11-2012 09:29 AM

Ye... i could've done it for a month or so... but i was convinced as well that this is pointless :s

No Zoe, those people don't really know anything.

Try it for a month and I'll promise you, you'll gain at least one new insight.

At the least you have proven to yourself that you are capable of not doing what you like as long as you set your mind to it. It's a test of willpower.

Well... but in the end i don't gain anything, just take away some enjoyment from myself and stress about it o.o

Well if you have read the thread, most of the people who accepted and completed the challenge learnt something new. But you have to keep an open mind for that. Not going to force you if you see no purpose in it.

I know what you mean, but i'm not sure if it's worth it

Well the essence of the challenge is taking it up when you really like fapping.

**MtSaEt** · 05-11-2012 08:25 PM

Noooo, I jerked off yesterday

Shame on me

I resisted 14 days.
Excuses : None.
Context : My friend kept on sending me pr0n websites on my phone.. Haha..

**Carrot** · 05-12-2012 09:31 AM

It's okay.

Well done on 2 weeks, MtSaEt!

It is definitely worth it for men, I'm not really sure about the effects on women though

I would say it's worth trying out, who doesn't try out something new won't improve the current situation

**Vavanar** · 05-13-2012 10:04 AM

Anyone saying its not worth it is retarded. End of discussion

I like trying new things out, but not ones that are bad for me ^^

I've done it before, and it certainly felt like more women were attracted to me... but I am certain it was because I was damned well madly attracted to them. Impossible not to show it. Just makes you look more interested in the opposite sex or whatever your preference is. And people like interest.

Why? More energy, more attraction from women, less anxiety if any anxiety at all, my stutter went away, i feelt generally better healthwise and in general overall, the studies about not masturbating giving you increased risk of prostata cancer has no science backing it up, science is actually saying that there might be a reduced risk from not masturbating. I am never going to masturbate again.

It's not bad for you. There was once in your life when you were living fine without it before you found out.

Once i was fine without it for 3 months, but these days i have to relieve stress

If i take that away that's not good for me, i'll be more stressed

If you've noticed some of them did other things in their life to replace that form of relieving stress. A few had taken up exercising, etc.

I did not read the 36 pages of the thread

If i would have anything good to do to relieve stress then i would try this again, but i have no idea. I don't want to exercise... i don't want to get more thin, i would need to get up weight...

**Carrot** · 05-14-2012 04:43 PM

Nah. I didn't read all either. That's madness. I thought you noticed the thread in the past. I tried it out in March/April and there were people talking about exercising at that time.

First time hearing a girl complain she's too thin.

I'm too unhealthy so I need the exercise.

**RemoteVicinity** · 05-14-2012 09:13 PM

It is worth it. At the very least if you're watching porn. Definitely quit porn and never go back. Don't think M'ing is that bad, but it should be done in moderation. I've M'ed a couple of times the last days.. Never again

(I hope..) My once flawless
reboot now contains several relapses.. I'm going for about 35 more days.

Exercise doesn't have to make you more thin? Perhaps if you do a lot of cardio, but a little strength exercise couldn't hurt I guess
