Well.... I recently cracked after 2 weeks which is kind of good in my books. So yea today is the begining for me and I should be able to keep busy especially since I'm going to college in a couple of days. See you at the finish line comrades
I will stop masturbation complete.

I've also started noticing when I see hot girls I stare at them like they're the last girl on earth. Like serious creepy rapist stares.
But what are the reasons. Because you do not watching porn or because you are not masturbation?
Quote:All in all, these are some pretty welcome changes. And even though I'm only like 37 days in or something like that, I think I'm going to make this permanent. The few times I have looked at porn over the last month, its appeal has simply not been the same as before. So I see no reason to ever go back.
But you still do masturbation?
freiheitlich,
Just stop thinking and DO IT. What do you have to lose? Just do not touch your dick and keep that up for two weeks and see what changes. Do the same with porn. If you want to be scientific about it, first do no porn and no masturbation, then no masturbation and porn, then masturbation and no porn, then both together, then... well, whatever you want.
This is what I actually doing. Thank you.
But what is wrong to get information about the experiance from other people?
Nothing wrong with that. It just seemed like you first wanted to know about all the effects before you started.
How long have you been doing it, and what are the effects for you so far?
I'm still in the challenge. I have no urge to see hardcore porn lately, but I still want to see beautiful naked women or hot teen girls experimenting with each other and such. I also fantasize about dirty things.
I'll have my third date this week tonight (second internet date), so apparently this challenge does inspire me to take action. In my work where I walk door to door for charities I've also started being more direct.. On one day I complimented two mothers on their daughters! Both of them loved it. In one case, the daughter was actually 15 lol. (She was a perfect candidate to be a model if I ever saw one. Very tall, slim, beautiful face and body.) Also complimented beautiful girls directly at the door. With one woman the talk turned kind of sexual, but she was not one of the pretty ones unfortunately.
Been off porn for 2 weeks now and Im not sure if its the withdrawal but I have been having a lack of appetite, and having problems sleeping at a regular time. I've been going to bed at 4am - 6am. I'm eating pretty healthy (after the crazy Christmas food coma with family) but can't hit the gym since my arm is broken. Any thoughts? Especially with exercising with a broken arm. I fractured my humerus about 2 months ago and can move my arm a bit but obviously not at full strength.

Work out the arm that isn't hurt. Studies show that there is a transferred effect between a normal and injured limb, something up to 20-25% of strength is transferred, as opposed to sedentarism. So, Dumbbell Bench Presses with one arm, Military Press, Seated Rows, etc. Just use one handle and one dumbbell. Don't need to go super hard everyday, but just enough to get a training effect. Athletes just don't sit around when they get injured, they have a purpose to get back on the field or court right away, so they attack the issue accordingly. You should do the same.
I now did no porn and no masturbation. Iam now in the 6th day.
I can really feel my sexual energy. I often have sexual thoughts also.
If this really increase my sexual desire permanent, then why not stop masturbation and porn forever?
Yeah, I'm seriously considering cutting out masturbation entirely. It's fun, but completely unnecessary.
I'm just 5 days in. I used to cut down every now but got somewhat upset when I read about the effects on your brain chemistry. I saw the slow spiral into even more and more explicit porn use to stimulate myself.
I am wondering though, if this can be used to re-wire your brain in a more interesting fashion. Masturbate for pleasure when reaching pre-set goals, just conditioning myself to reach more. But that might be too abstract. For now, I'm abstaining from porn, masturbation and orgasms.
As long as you keep busy, it's pretty easy. I dread the weekend, as I'll have way too much time on my hands.
I'm 10 days in now and can barely take it anymore. At the club this weekend I was turned on by anything that moved. Anyone else feel like their standards dropped since doing this?
I was at 10 days and i had trouble holding and getting a boner with this girl.... How long does it take to become normal?

you're probably flatlining. Depending on how heavy your porn use was, the longer it will take to get back to normal.
Read some of my post in this thread at this moment I'm dealing with flatline myself. keep in mind that this just means that your brain still needs time to return to its normal dopamine sensitivity. So it doesn't mean that your dick doesn't work.
Im in since November 27th, so i thought i could share somethings with our newbies here
(Couldn't do it entirely without Masturbations, but i'm keeping it to a minimum (usually once a week))
The first 2 weeks weren't really that great (but i bet you've already figured that out,lol), i really felt like shit, sometimes i was crazy horny but was flatlining comptletly.
After 3-4 weeks there where some decent effects, my sexuality became somewhat normal again. I wouldn't call it "dropping standards" its just that you feel honest attraction for Females who aren't supermodels and have they're little flaws.
Back in the day when I was still watching porn on a nearly daily basis, i've never really felt that aroused even while making out with girls. 2-3 weeks ago i've been dancing with a girl and I was so attracted I had to hold myself back to not "fully escalate" on her in the club. That's the moment i've realized that im never going back to porn again.
Its just so much more enjoyable when your mind needs to hold you back from taking action instead of constantly pushing you towards it.
Other positive Sideeffects:
Productivy skyrockets. Just by the mere fact you're not wasting your everyday time to watch porn.
My motivation to do sports grew quite a bit aswell, this weekend i went to the gym & jogging despite being hangover on saturday & sunday
needless to say my results in the gym are better than ever before. My mood in general seems to be better aswell, and i'm way more outgoing.
negative sideeffects are still there though, and it really takes a good amount of time to recover. After i've slept like a baby for most of the reboot, last week i started to get the insomnia-effect some of the users on this board reported. And well, it really requires a good amount of willpower to do such a thing. Try not to spend boring hangover sundays in front of your computer

I definitely have been feeling more honest attraction toward females in general. When I was on the dance floor a couple days ago, I felt extremely aroused just to be around so many women.
It also makes it a lot easier to approach. When I was masturbating and watching porn, I felt quite apathetic. I feel I've been able to approach much better , because I'm attracted rather than just going through the motions.

If you do masturbation, what effect (and how long) has it on your attraction towards women?
Iam now at day 8th, without porn and masturbation. I still have a permanent sexual state und often thinks about sex.
Did someone recognise a decrease of sexual desire after the 8th day?
I have stopped looking at porn around October last year, this proved to be manageable and mostly a set of habits.
During this time I still masturbated/had sex about 2 times a week, didn't want to go too hard on myself in the beginning. Still noticed a definite increase in desire for the fair sex. Can't say anything about flatlining.
PMO-free since the beginning of the new year, now girls that I wouldn't even have started to bother myself with turn me on big time. Way more productive and motivated for sport and work. Really interesting and useful for overall motivation, will keep this change for sure. What's bothering me is the insomnia since I stopped orgasming. This apparently belongs to the symptoms. I'm educated and proficient in autogenous training which usually works like a charm, but nothing seems to help.
Is there any practical and efficient way to deal with this?
So sad... I had a girl totally put out for me and couldnt get an erection. Needlessly to say she hasnt called me back
This thread made me smile quite a bit. Makes interesting reading, particularly the motivational parts. No way would or could i practically join in. But keep it up i guess... or down. Though I don't see a necessity for going 'cold turkey'. Limiting porn viewing and masturbation to say one a week/every 3 days feels more reasonable to me.
Bwong, there are a number of seasons for erectile dysfunction... having watched porn in the past isn't one of them to the best of my knowledge (i'm a physician). If this happens to you more than just incidentally, it's probably worth investigating further, there could be a medical reason behind it.

Is there research showing that quitting porn after years of frequently watching it has no link with (probably temporary) erectile dysfunction?
I completely agree with you that his erectile dysfunction may have many causes, but I think the effects of online porn are not documented in research yet. If I'm wrong I'd love to read some. I can personally say with confidence that watching porn and masturbating every 3 days has a massively different effect on me than not watching it for weeks or months. I'm sure others agree.

Honestly I can achieve an erection in bed by myself with some touching. My issue is achieving an erection when i have a beautiful girl infront of me. Now ive watched ALOT of porn in my day and still kind of worried about the effects its having on me right now.
