You know we have to look, even if we don't really want to.

i'm too horny to even think about going a year without sex, or a tuggie. i can't even make it a week.
This thread is rediculious.

You don't think I was horny during those 60 days?

You don't even know what horny is, man.

I've really read this. The bad for the seed thing.
Okay I looked it up.. I'm not at all a scientific genius, so maybe someone can help me out here. But http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...06453000000536 says that "intercourse and masturbation induce pronounced increases in prolactin secretion in humans, together with evidence that this response occurs exclusively following orgasm (Exton et al., 2000)." And you need prolactin for spermatogenesis. Sooo if you lack it, it's bad, right? Or maybe not bad, but it's better that you have plenty. Plus there are so many other health and psychological benefits.... I also read somewhere that the only negative effects of masturbation are associated with the guilt that you feel afterwards. Unless you really do it ... A LOT.

Who feels guilt after masturbation? Alright, maybe of you're 7. But seriously guilt isn't the result of mastubation, it is the result of not being comfortable with your own sexual activity.

I don't know how many people still feel guilt. I did feel guilt longer than the age 7, but that's just me. Depends on how you grew up, and in what environment I guess.

Religion, obviously.

Hmm yeah but I'm not religious, my parents are atheists, my grandparents are catholic but I don't think they have had that much influence on me. And I felt guilt, well, for a really long time...

Oh yes:

Well, I've also been looking around, and somehow it's all very contradictory. Half of the people say 'No don't stop it, stopping with masturbating is terrible for you!' and the other half is like 'You definitely should, it's good for your health to do so!', so I'm not really sure what to believe anymore. That's why I'm just going to see for myself during the coming two months (it'll be 62 days, beating Jakro ). Actually that's quite a coincidence. I'm going for March through April, which is 61 days, but I happened to not do it the day before the start of this month as well, making it 62.

Anyway, DAY 2 : SUCCES! I'm not really surprised to be honest, it's kind of normal for me to go a week or so without. After that I'll start thinking 'why am I even doing this, I know I can make it and it's just so good...', but this time I'll keep going

i get the jerkin off part, but what about your partner?
how can get away with no sex for a year, anyone?

By not having a partner. If you do, don't bother It's a no-masturbate challenge, which is easy if you have a partner to have sex with

You should all dump your partners in order to do the challenge
"sorry hun.. There's this thing on dv..."

"... what's dv..."

"What? You never listen to me when I tell you something!" *gets baseball bat*

*can't think of response*











........

Try, "RUN!"

Oh maybe I should stop panic











>_>

You know, that really grinds my gears. Where in the bible does it say that a man can't fire off some knuckle-children in the privacy of his own neighbor's living room while his neighbor's at work because I don't have a DVD player? Well, I don't know where it says it because the Bible was way too long to read!

DAY 3: SUCCES!

I'm going to stop saying that until day 7. It's kind of easy in the beginning

Oversharing on the internet woo!

AMWAHHWAHAA

I'm on day 16 of NoFap at the moment, and guy's... I just have to say it's the only way to go. I mean, if you're not a porn addict and fap like twice a week then fine thats great, but for people who masturbate every day or watch porn every other day, something similar like that, you NEED to STOP masturbating. It fucks you up. Masturbation I'm not too bothered about right now, I have some spiritual views on that but it matters not to me whether you masturbate or not. But Porn, matters. It absolutely fucks your brain up, it is the vilest shit on the earth and has caused me so much pain and suffering indirectly. So glad to see that shit in my rear view, naaah saynn??

The first week was easy, no libido, not horny at all. No noticeable changes either. After day 7 however, woo.. shit got real. I can actually focus in class for 2 hours straight, I have alot more energy, I find myself dying to go out and run when before I would always procrastinate on that, I can sit down and do my work without becoming some fearful percfectionist. I have a ridiculously sexy, deep and booming voice now and I love to hear myself speak lol, my confidence has gone THROUGH the roof, a couple of days ago. I don't take shit from people anymore, know when to stand my ground and when to laugh, I laugh alot more genuinely now and I can read social cues ALOT better (if someone thinks badly of you, if they're enjoying convo, etc.. etc). I am ridiculously witty now, sharp as a knife, i feel like gambit throwing razor sharp cards every time i crack a joke now xD, especially with girls. I can flirt now! YES! lol I am one smooth guy with the ladies, I can tell whenever they're throwing shit-tests, and immediately shut it down, but know when to laugh, when to joke and when to be serious, when to just have silence, and its all natural and flowing.

Right now I'm itching to go and approach girls and chat them up (something i've NEVER done) so Imma go for a run now and see if I spot any cute girls at the park, lol. Seriosuly though, I'm beginning to feel so much more free and alive and well. The chains of porn and masturbation hold me down no longer. Next time I come, it'll be inside a woman.

Good Job Glad to see it's working for you.

And you are (i think) the third person to say that it really has helped you... Maybe I should try it O_o

Interesting! By the way, is it normal if a guy always has a morning .. you know?

Morning wood is perfectly normal, in fact lack of it could be a sign of testosterone deficiency.
