I almost MO'd yesterday but THANK GOD I stopped

So I was lying in bed, reading on my laptop (I don't have internet in my room so I'm save against porn) because my Kindle is bricked.
I was a little bit frustrated because I had to skip my workout that day. Unfortunately, instead of taking a late-night bicycle ride to release my energy I started touching my groin like a little wanker. I even took pictures of my junk with the laptop's cam.

However, at one point when I was really close to actually masturbating, I decided that I didn't want to do it. I didn't quite have the willpower to immediately stop myself, but at least I ceased to go on, deleted the pictures and continued reading until the desire to fap went away. Thinking about it now, that means that I stopped myself. Not fapping is really just not doing it when I feel inclined to.

I took a cold shower afterwards. Now, it is of importance to note that this was my fourth day of not masturbating and this is usually when I fail. But knowing that I actually stopped myself and decided not to masturbate is very empowering.

I need to take further measures to prevent myself from entering such situations in the future, like reading on a chair at a table or always taking my cold shower BEFORE reading in the evening. But I just love the fact that today I'm fully energised and did very well in the gym. Had I fapped to orgasm yesterday, I know that I would have felt down and tired today.


Note to myself: It's never too late to stop. When I catch myself edging in the future, I can always choose to just stop doing so. I WILL feel better afterwards.
