Only one more week to go and it's getting difficult. I keep getting distracted and I even took a peak at some porn. On the one hand I feel like I would be way more focused on all of the study I have to do if I just went ahead, on the other hand there's only one more week and it seems like most guys don't make it this far.

fairplay, I'm struggling on my third night. You'll be so freaked if you give up now

C14N · 25-09-2013 04:19AM

I took a cue from letssee and had a porn-less far in the shower. I kind of rushed so it wasn't much higher fun but I do feel very relieved and relaxed now.

NegativeCreep · 25-09-2013 04:37PM

I don't know how you guys are lasting this long. I could probably not do it for a month but as soon as I consciously decide not to do it, it's all I can think about!

Has anyone mentioned Seinfeld yet?

They did it.

And then Seinfeld went a bit further in Oz....

I'm giving this a go. 3 days in so far - which is very rare for me to go this amount of time without. Grand so far but I'll see how I feel after a week. Hoping this might have some benefits as I have found myself not bothering with situations where I could possibly get laid but go hang out with my mates instead.

What benefits or differences have you guys seen so far? Any boardsie stores like the ones on Reddit?

Has anybody made a No Fap App yet?

Week 7 now and it doesn't really cross my mind much

Jesus, what age/gender. 7 weeks. That's incredible.....

MarriedButBi · 25-09-2013 06:55PM

I'd say a week is the longest I have gone since I was 11, that's like 29 years of a lot of self gratification. That seems dirty & pathetic.

20/M
Out of character too.
To directly contradict my last post, I've actually felt way more urges to do it in week 8 compared to previous weeks.

Day 3.

Not setting any target, just want to know who long until I surrender.

R019912 · 25-09-2013 11:11PM

On day 31 of this. It gets a lot easier after the first 3 weeks!

lg01 · 26-09-2013 10:00AM

I could not sleep last night. Not being able to fap made it way worse...

snausages · 26-09-2013 10:20AM

Had a wet dream and now feel all un-energetic and crappy.

Barna77 · 26-09-2013 10:35AM

Guys, spare the details when all this comes to an end...

lg01 · 26-09-2013 09:18PM

Reading a few of the comments like this, this and this on reddit - for some of the guys it really must be a full on problem. They talk about "relapsing" like a heroin addict - and talk about how they 'hate themselves' after they do it. Wow, makes me feel so much better lol! I'm on day 4 and its grand - just the habitual aspect of it I have to break. But I am really interested to see if I get any of the benefits that others have reported so I'm going to give it a go for 2 weeks at least, hopefully a month - fingers (and legs) crossed..

If I notice no difference I'll be pissed I've denied myself of one of lives simple pleasures - however I will be proud of myself for accomplishing this small feat of discipline.

I've tried it and failed a few times. The biggest benefits is increased motivation to go out and get the 'real thing'.

R019912 · 26-09-2013 11:26PM

Some people get ED from it and everything if you read the forums. They've a term for it - PIED and the explanation for how it occurs makes perfect sense

27-09-2013 01:57AM

Day 19 out of the way now. Been kind of dry **** myself some mornings just to help me wake up - thankfully been able to snap out of it before climaxing.

I'm now on the verge of breaking a record I last set back in 1998 when i was in Irish college, i.e. 3 weeks without fapping.

After that I'll be in *ahem* virgin territory, as I've never gone more than 3 weeks since becoming an adult. Who knows what will happen once I break through that barrier :pac:

nbar12 · 27-09-2013 03:28AM

bollocks anyway lads, the ex sent me a few cheeky snaps and well yeah the rest is history. Only lasted 4 nights, will start again tomorrow

I think for a lot of those guys it's a self-induced placebo come-down effect more than anything. A **** now and again is fine but doing it constantly is an epic waste of energy.

Just ignore them. Got a few Brazzers emails in the spam box myself, just deleted them and moved on. Also, I think the rules allow you to briefly view porn if it was an accident so you're grand so far.

This is what I don't understand. I've nothing against the no fap challenge; if you can do it, fair play to you, but if you feel that bad over having the occasional fap, (which is normal and healthy) then there is a deeper problem.

I disagree, it's an addiction, of course people will be disappointed if they fail.
