It seems like that website wants you to totally go off porn. Very well written articles and I might have to try the month thing. Although I'm not sure how I will make it. The web block sounds promising.

I looked at porn and pics I have saved... that was extremely stupid. I stayed strong and didn't wack it but damn was that idiotic of me.

It definitely seems like girls are being pulled towards me more and more. And it's way easier to talk and approach them. The hornyness is the cause for this, but it doesn't come off as desperate at all, if anything it's coming off as alpha I think. And my standards aren't going down, despite how horny I get.

It just comes down to the biological need to bust a nut is more powerful than the inhibitions that would normally hold one back.

I know this because if I just look at porn and don't jack it, I don't get nearly as horny. Evolutionarily, this makes sense, as porn is an incredibly new phenomenon, particularly hardcore HD porn with dime-piece 18 year olds, and yet the physical makeup of our bodies and brains are 99% the same as they were thousands and thousands of years ago. That HD porn is doing a very very good job tricking and rewarding our systems... there is something very unnatural about it.

Yep, completely agree with this. At the same time our brains aren't stupid and if you haven't wacked to porn in a while, the first time you might trick yourself into thinking its close enough to the real thing. Then everytime after that I think it's harder to convince yourself, which is when porn guilt kicks in. I think thats why most guys rarely watch the same scene twice. They're trying to chase the high.

I read an pretty interesting interview with Sasha Grey in the latimes where she was quoted as saying "Porn exists for masturbation". Plain and simple. If you're not planning on wacking it, theres no need to pull it up on your screen.

I jerked off so good the other night, when I woke up in the morning, my dick was making me breakfast!

How about if you jack off without reaching orgasm, can you keep your testosterone level high this way? In other words, what actually depletes libido: having an orgasm or the actual act of jacking off?

Really?

Not a dumb question. But the viewing of the porn and various naked women easily probably does effect it. It usually takes some effort to get them naked.

Yes, you can jack off until you get to the plateau stage and just stop right before orgasm.

Well I, the resident docter, will guinea pig myself.

I will not look at porn or masturbate until at least 2012

Probable outcomes:

-Increases stupidity
-Better game, as a result of my need to get off through women as opposed to myself
-Increased boldness
-I'm not really sure. I might listen to more Rage against the machine

Note: This isn't no ejaculation, this is no porn/masturbation

the bottom posts on the first page had some interesting links on how porn effects libido and sexual interest in physical partners. Check those out.

Now, off to a ladies pad. Cheers[/b]

You're going to really feel stupid if the world ends.

you're a year behind champ.

But yes, I would.

Danger & Play had a great post on this.

I can't post links yet, but it's at danger and play dot wordpress dot com. Entitled "Masturbation Strike."

"As it happens, I once went seven weeks without masturbating. Some undoubted and noticeable changes happen. I was 17 years old and in Basic Training when the Drill Sgt. told our entire platoon that our entire conception of attractiveness would change. As children often do, we laughed at our mentor. As time often shows, our mentor was right."

I'm on strike effective immediately.

I failed 1 week in, and it felt amazing when I did do it... but I definitely regret it now. I restarted and it's been 3 days, I hope to last atleast 2 weeks this time. The effects of not jacking off during that 1 week were outstanding though, I felt unstoppable.

I first developed this theory, Mandrake, during the physical act of
self-love. A profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness
followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly.
Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women
sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women,
Mandrake. But I do deny them my essence.

I can no longer sit back and allow Feminist infiltrati​on, Feminist indoctrina​tion, Feminist subversion and the internatio​nal Feminist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

For the last 6 days, I fab, but I don't cum, hoping to get the best of both worlds.

I've been doing that, and now I feel like I'm walking around with a couple bowling balls hanging from my crotch.

Under no circumstances would I recommend this strategy.

You're not even supposed to watch porn... wacking it but not finishing is the worst thing you can do.

There seems to be some confusion on this point. Is the goal to try and prevent the testosterone drop from orgasm, or is it to avoid looking at naked women in order to motivate you to go out?

Post: #47

The former. I can find a million other excuses to not go out besides watching porn.

Ok good, then the results I'm seeing hopefully aren't entirely psychosomatic.

Post: #49

Actually the goal is to stop watching porn. The novelty of it desensitizes and becomes a source of dopamine. You are literally drugging yourself by watching porn, especially when masturbating to it.

Read that. I literally experienced some withdrawal symptoms, I had no idea it was effecting me to the degree it was.

But then it is okay to jerk off as long as you don't use porn?
