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

I need to start doing this ASAP. I'll make it a habit to cum here ops.. come here and confess each time and that will hopefully do the trick, because then each time I FAP I have to share it here in my hall of shame, but if I resist it, this can be my hall of fame.



Oh by the way this starts tomorrow, because of reasons...

I'm sure I have the self control to do this for at least a month. Let's see where this goes...

I would advise just jerking off once/week because from day 1 up to day 7 your testosterone will increase and at the end of the week it will be peaking which means more alpha mentality, slightly more confident and very horny but the most important thing: muscle growth and recovery will be optimized!

After day 7 your testosterone-levels will slowly decrease again so that's why you can go for it once a week

*If your goal is higher testosterone levels.

So now I can give myself a good tap ON THE BACK (don't get any ideas.) - Day 1 survived thanks to this wonderful thread.

Non-wanker friends! Day 2 accomplished.

And you know I can still fantasize about things and each time I reach the fine line between resisting it and not giving a sh*t anymore, I just think "Ah man I really don't want to share that I have done it " and I get my control back.

Sigh... This was a hard day both figuratively and literally ..
Although right now I am in control!

Please keep updating us. You keep making me laugh in the middle of class for no reason.

My will must be good because I haven't done it since Friday without even noticing, whereas I have a pretty high sex drive normally. Though, this week has been a MAJOR party on Saturday followed by recovery.

I do not intend to go into details with my personal life, but I've decided to follow suit with no porn or masturbation to focus on my partner and actual sexual interaction. I feel like it will be good for my mental health and relationship.

Saw this on 9gag:

But then I said:

Well, I've made it 42 days...It is pretty ironic that I am saying this on the exact day of weakamon's record.

I think NoFap has done all it can do for me. Over the course of this challenge, it has become more apparent to me that I now need to focus on other lifestyle changes, and I think I can give NoFap a rest. It has shown me that I have control over myself, but it also has illustrated that the type of changes that I am looking for don't occur from simply changing one loosely related aspect of my life. I want to make it clear that I am not giving up. I never wanted to do this challenge for any set length of time, just for as long as it took to serve its purpose. After the first week or two, NoFap became extremely easy. If I thought that waiting 90 or even 365 days to masturbate would help me in some way, then I would continue this challenge. Advancement in life does not appear to be that simple. I have no doubt in my mind that I would do this whole NoFap thing again and I regret nothing. It has served its purpose as the primer for the changes to come.

As my NoFap days conclude, I will replace the challenge with a few new ones. Most notably, NoDreamviews.

Good luck to all of the people posting on this thread and peace out.

I am sorry guys it was impossible to not slap the monkey this morning

I had the most vivid, stable lucid sex dream this morning, it was so incredible that I will even go into detail about it in my dream journal.

Maybe it was because of the fap challenge?! Damn I really need to start it up again.

Remember that that DJ entry will sound like a sex novel or something, so read it on your own risk, but remember that if you can't resist and start fapping, keep in mind that you are then fappnig to me! :S So for your own sake STAY AWAY! Haha...

I just realized that I forgot to mention that I quit my latest challenge a couple of weeks ago. Setting dates and stuff doesn't really work out for me Nevertheless, for anyone who is willing to try this, it is DEFINITELY worth it. It will change your life, make you more attractive to the opposite sex, and you will simply feel a lot better. I'm speaking out of experience from last year. I will probably start over myself as well. That being said, I probably won't post succes or failure in here, because I don't really want to pin myself down on a promise
The best of luck to everyone who joins

Two weeks in and things are going good. The urge is there, but taking two different writing courses in the same semester along with working every day is pretty much ensuring that I have almost no free time. Three weeks, here I come.

EDIT: What a bad pun.

Ok I am sleep deprived (because of 3 nights in a row of partying), and I haven't wrestled with my one-eyed vessel at all during these days, so according to previous experience, I am very likely to have a vivid dream perhaps even a lucid dream this night, and according to these little theory it is even more likely for that result:

""Over-masturbation, or more accurately said over-ejaculation stimulates parasympathetic nervous functions, which results in the over production of sex hormones: acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. Abnormally high levels of sex hormones cause brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion. In other words: there is a big change of body chemistry when man or woman practices over-masturbation. "

(This article wa about OVER-masturbation, but based on the results we both had, I am prepared to say that the same thing happens in a healthier way when you stay away from it for a little while and then go at it again.)

acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin <-- Lucid Dream Technique - Brain Chemistry - YouTube

As I said NO COINCIDENCE, but a pattern match!

So unless I read it incorrectly, all we have to do is to not fap for about 3 days and let whatever is happening naturally in our body happen, then on the fourth day schlick, shlick or fap fap and the chemicals of the aminergic system <- governs critical thinking will increase it's activity during the night because of the change of body chemistry. " - From my DJ.
But for now I will continue to resist for as long as possible and see if my dreams changes.

See ya!

That theory isn't really backed by a whole lot of science since most studies show there is nothing negative from masturbating at all except psychological addiction.

I will take this challenge again for the third time. I've been uncontrollably jacking for the past few weeks. Most of the time I procrastinate(even right now), and when I know that it's too late, I just jack off to relieve myself, which makes me disappointed and disgusted with myself. I'm gonna prove to myself that I can stop jacking because I can. I'm starting tomorrow and my goal is 43+ days.

Don't give up! I'm with you! I feel the same as you do :$
I am currently at day 4.
The urge comes from time to time but it is easy to ignore. Hope it'll stay that way.

Starting this again, I somehow can't overcome the 4 day mark...

Although I know that if I stop for 3 days I am very likely to have a vivid lucid sex dream on the third night. (Just look at my Dream Journal..)

Good luck to the rest of you.

I challenge thee MasterMind! To a challenge of Iron Will. Are you starting this today?

Tomorrow... because of reasons. This was my fourth day, for some reason it gets more difficult after the third.

But yeah I want to be a true master so for now my short term goal will be 7 days.

I will (if I find time) report the vividness of my dreams and rate of lucidity.

What's the longest duration you've gone for? I think mine was nearly a month but I could be wrong lol Also competition could be a motivation for not doing it

Probably less than a month, but I am only keeping track of the days to see it's effect on lucid dreaming and therefore make it not OK to do it, and because of that I want to do it... So I am only talking about staying away from it while keeping track of the vividness of dreams.

Not so long ago, I was abroad and well it never even crossed my mind to "slap the monkey" so I didn't do it for a week, and now when I look in my dream journal for those 7 days I can see that I had 3 vivid lucid dreams on the third, fourth and fifth day. So I think there is something to learn from this.

So that is why I am taking up this challenge again and ehum again.

Well being 17 I'm not prone to any effects of sex dreams (I'm not anyway) and how long do you plan to not "slap the monkey" for in this attempt?
