I have been hearing from a lot of people that jacking off, especially to porn or pictures, is not good for you at all. So I started reading up on it on the internet, on a bunch of forums, etc.

What I found in my research is that when you don't jack off for a long period of time, your body goes into 'hunt mode' of some sort. Among health benefits, you also stop giving a fuck, you become more alpha, and your body language subconsciously improves. You start noticing a lot more girls eyeing you for some reason (maybe the way you're walking, the energy youre giving off, i dont know...)

I also read that your body does indeed know the difference between nutting through sex and nutting through wanking it. Obviously sex is healthy for you, but releasing through self-pleasure only harms you mentally and physically.

I honestly can't see myself not fapping for 3+ weeks, but I might give it a try if indeed you guys back up the information I found. I haven't tried it, but I did notice when I go for a few days without fapping that swooping women for some reason (maybe the benefits I found are the reasons lol) got MUCH easier.

Anyone live by this?

There was a study that showed that it increased your testosterone by 45.7% after 7 days of not doing it.

http://www.ncbi.nlm....1?dopt=Abstract

Quote
The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of the relationship between ejaculation and serum testosterone level in men. The serum testosterone concentrations of 28 volunteers were investigated daily during abstinence periods after ejaculation for two phases. The authors found that the fluctuations of testosterone levels from the 2nd to 5th day of abstinence were minimal. On the 7th day of abstinence, however, a clear peak of serum testosterone appeared, reaching 145.7% of the baseline ( P < 0.01). No regular fluctuation was observed following continuous abstinence after the peak. Ejaculation is the precondition and beginning of the special periodic serum testosterone level variations, which would not occur without ejaculation. The results showed that ejaculation-caused variations were characterized by a peak on the 7th day of abstinence; and that the effective time of an ejaculation is 7 days minimum. These data are the first to document the phenomenon of the periodic change in serum testosterone level; the correlation between ejaculation and periodic change in the serum testosterone level, and the pattern and characteristics of the periodic change.

Hope this helped a bit. But yea I do agree that with what your saying about girls noticing you more. I know that some bodybuilders do this so that way on the day of a competition that have more testosterone going.

Hmm interesting, I had actually read that your testosterone goes up between day 3-5 but goes back to normal after 7. Guess that was wrong lol.

I'm definitely gonna give it a try then, for more than just a few days this time.

Has anyone tried this? Any of you not jack off at all because you see the benefits?

I don't have the will power. That or my max testosterone is already too high for me to notice.

This whole week I didn't touch my buddy down there and though it was hard I think it was worth it. Maybe just being results oriented because it was an especially good week but so far so good.

What good are you seeing exactly?

Orgasms are good for your prostate. Good prostate can help you last longer in sex.

If you don't use it, you loose it; If you don't let your body have orgasms (via sex or hand-relief), you might loose some of the desensitization and get overwhelmed when you actually get a real girl.

More focus, more motivation for work and game. Went out to the club and made out with a girl without saying more than two sentences to her and was able to setup drinks for next week with her. Couple day game numbers also.

Plus when I finally came with the girl that I couldn't cum with last week it felt unbelievably good. I swear I could barely walk.

Post: #9

I am going to try it. Worried that I will come across as too needy in my approaches though. Not sure how I can work as well when I am not chasing tail.

Post: #10

Makes me wonder if all the religious bullshit about not whacking it actually had some original logical basis.

Post: #11

I tried this a lot when I was younger, and around day 7 to 10 I would have a dream where I`m fucking a chick and I cum in my sleep. Happened to me 3 times. It always felt like such a waste so I would go right back to doing it every day afterwards. Maybe if I continue to not fap after a wet dream my body will get used to it and I`ll be able to go for longer periods. The study seems pretty compelling so I think I`ll try it from today onwards.

Come to think of it maybe my dreams are just too real. When I was much younger (like 5 to 8 years old) I would dream that I was walking up to and pissing in urinals, but wet the bed in reality.

I've found that if I can abide by my "4 Day Rule", then I am much wittier, sharper and hungrier for pussy.

If I break it, I find myself a bit sluggish, lower energy, not quick witted, etc.

I think it's different for everyone. Some people can j/o 2 times per day and they can keep their hungry level up.

Post: #13

^ very true. I guess everyone has to listen to their body. I'm on day 3 and I feel MUCH hungrier and I'm definitely more willing to approach. I also noticed today while sitting in a restaurant that my body language was a lot more laid back, open and relaxed. Also talking to the hot waitress seemed different, it seemed a lot smoother, easier.

I wonder how I'll feel day 7-8 lol.

Post: #14

Still going strong, and I feel amazing... I think I'm on day 5 or 6. I wake up not tired at all, very energetic. I even feel like my skin looks better for some reason. It's also a lot easier talking to girls, just feels so normal and natural (like it should). And it seems like all the girls at work are trying to talk to me and giving me the eyes the last 2 days.

Usually I'd be grumpy and rage a lot easier when I go this long without nutting, but I haven't been mad at anything yet, I actually feel like I'm in a way better mood everyday.

Pretty cool... but wow, this is not an easy thing to do!

Post: #15

yeah it's definitely not easy when you get boners.. I haven't done it in 2 days and I already feel smoother, more confident, better body language in general, and a better flirt. funny this thread goes up at the same time i experience this.. i dont know if i can do it any longer tho.. its hard!!

Post: #16

make one day your wanking day so the rest of the week you can build it up! lol

on the 4th 5th and 6th days i swear women were just glaring at me left right and centre and i was horny as hell

it works.i feel better and stronger in the gym too.recommended (if your not gettn laid that is!)

Post: #17

Exactly, I feel the exact same way as the 2 previous posters! It's pretty crazy. I don't know how much longer I can last though. But people who have gone wayyy longer than 7 days are saying the effects are amazing, so I just might have to give it my all and try harder to last until I explode uncontrollably lmao.

One thing I'm worried about though, is when the time comes to slam some bitches, I last literally 30 seconds because of this...

I covered this a while ago. I suck at making it 4+ days. Anyway, the link on my original post of the thread is very good. Tons of information and opinions on the topic.

I've recently gone a MONTH *gasp* without punching the clown. It was an interesting experiment that I considered worth doing especially when I realized that I might have never gone that long without busting since puberty.

Heres some of the stuff that I found out:

- I definitely felt more confident, had better body language and had an overall more positive outlook on life. All the bad shit in the news started to have little effect on me.

- The study that says that you increase testosterone until about day 7 then it drops off is BS, for me anyways. It just kept building up until I couldn't take it anymore.

- Workouts and excersing was not only something that I looked forward to, it became mandatory.

- Approaching chicks was effortless. Rejection had little to no effect on me. And yes, I believe they could sense the state I was in.

- I can't ever remember going to a club being confronted by more guys randomly without any provoking of my own, espeically as it got later in the month. I think the guys could sense it as well.

- hard to sit still. If you work a desk job this is something to think about. Maybe morning workouts could help out.

- This might be obvious but this is NOT possible without eliminating porn. After about week two a stiff breeze could be enough to get you excited.

Those are the things that stick out most in my mind. All in all I would say its definitely worth doing. Especially if you want to remember what it was like to be 18 years old again.

I agree that it is absolutely essential not to watch any porn. For one its a slippery slope,as your horniness increases every day: softcore naked pics --> some lesbian movies --> some good old fashion pounding. I've made that progression pretty fast if i've abstained a few days.

More importantly I believe that wacking is as much psychological as it is physical. Our brains also get a fix from porn, no doubt. 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.

No whacking unless I haven't gotten laid for weeks and I just can't take it anymore.

Being too horny isn't helpful when you start seeing ugly chicks as bangable. You know it's an illusion created by the sperm build up.

Post: #22

Think about it from an evolutionary standpoint. Only the alpha was getting any prehishtoric pussy so the build up of testosterone in the betas was there to drive them to fight the alpha a maybe get some. Boxers and fighters abstain for months sometimes before a fight. Me? two days tops.

@1bliss --

I can't begin to tell you what it's done for my game. You've almost inspired me to change if from my normal "4 Day Rule" to 6 day just to see what effects it has on my libido. When I had unregulated j/o habits-did it immediately whenever I felt like it (sometimes twice per day), passed up too many opportunities to approach because they would probably be awkward becuase I woudn't be into it, small bouts of so. After-not thinking twice about approaching because it's not a big deal, I have a lot more to say, sharper, wittier and feel like I accomplish things more easily.
