24 hours down
I could easily go for more than two weeks without masturbating or watching porn before I began this reboot. So I don't think I really was an addict in the first place, because after a week now I feel no need to watch any porn or anything.
I'm in. Anyone know of a way to disable Google Chrome's Incognito mode? Temptation is a bitch.
I'm in. Haven't fapped in 3 days. Lots of pent up desires. MUST FIGHT IT.
Some kind of ranking in the OP for the people who try would be cool. (1 day 2 days 1 week 2 weeks... You get the idea) Would consume much time thought.
So can I still have sex?
I guess this is it; no porn of any kind ever again. Inb4 porn industry collapses.
also working out really kills your sex drive. So when you think you cant take it anymore do pushups or run until it dies down. [editline]17th April 2012[/editline] automegre
I am attempting this as well. Count me in. I'm mostly trying this because of the major time waster watching porn has become. I sometimes do nothing but jack off for like 6 hours straight. Not good.

[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;35608888]Well then again you don't have a PhD and have done multiple intensive studies on this (I know there are studies saying the exact opposite) but we are just people, we have to trust what people say and choose which side we would agree with after doing personal careful and unbiased research to both sides of the argument.[/QUOTE] A few things to consider for everyone in the thread/ taking up the challenge:- If you're still craving for porn after not masturbating for a while, did you really fix anything? If you're still craving for beer for years after 'beating alcoholism', did you really fix anything? If you're still craving for cake after not being a fatty, did you really fix anything?
I'm going to try as well. I have no idea if I'll succed, but it won't kill me and the benefits seem huge. I haven't fapped for about 24 hours already so I'm of to a good start v:v:v

Alcohol and porn aren't pathologic. You just have an increased expression of dopamine receptors on your nerve endings, so you always need more and more stimulus to get excited and to relieve cravings. It then starts to ge physiological. And it's really hard to stop, like in the case of using heroin, as an example, bear in mind. [B]Edit:[/B] Don't compare heroin to porn, it was an example. All I'm saying is that if you crave porn/masturbation 1 time a week it's okay. Daily it's already pushing the limit, go work out. [B]Edit:[/B] Dumbed the explication down for people to understand. I'm an actual medical student.
Porn isn't hard to quit. I just picture previous sexual situations that happened in real life. [strike]I'll start on friday because I'll be high as fuck.[/strike] Scratch that, just jacked off. Now I begin. Put me down. No masturbation or anything.
Oh god. I kept all my porn pics right in my downloads folder, had to wander through and selectively control click each one in order to delete them, t'was like walking on a minefield.
Survived day one!
Oh man, OP sure has conned him some grade A suckers.

That's why I advocate that instead of putting huge amounts of effort into what amounts to nothing more than covering up symptoms.
This is actually true. Whenever I whack it the next day I am tired and can't concentrate as well.

Sign me up [editline]17th April 2012[/editline] Shit, I already lost. Sorry.
Meh not like I actually use my dick for its intended women seeding purposes, so wont hurt to try.
I have decided to keep my hands off until I get laid. Last time was january, and before that it was june and before that it was february. So I guess statistically it will be in about 4-5 months. :suicide:

This thread seems like "don't masturbate because it feels good and we don't want that"
I've gone nearly 48 hours and haven't even had the urge to watch porn. It's probably going to get harder in the coming days, but for now I don't feel any different than normal. [editline]18th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Spearman;35614717]This thread seems like "don't masturbate because it feels good and we don't want that"[/QUOTE] Technically it should be "Don't masturbate or watch porn too often because it might damage your health." Masturbation and porn are fine, just keep it moderated. [editline]18th April 2012[/editline] And by the way there is something to be said about a person who has the willpower to deny themselves pleasure. It's a way of disciplining yourself, strengthening your character and shit. Not just masturbation, but being able to deny yourself of most pleasures for however long you want or need.
Started this yesterday, got a girlfriend today. I must have incredible luck.
