    Hey IGY,

    What a dirty trick, that sounds frustrating. On the positive side, you now know not to open any emails from her with attachments anymore - just straight delete them. You've gone so long without, I know you will make it there again. Congrats for such a long streak!

    Out of curiosity, what are your plans to stay out of the house and away from temptation for the next few days? I'm willing to bet that the chaser effect will be showing it's ugly head, and I'm certain you have the strength and foresight to keep yourself out of temptation's way.

    Thanks tm6997 and Pellaeon. I have stayed at home, but I have been watching some favourite music videos on Youtube since. Don't worry they are not current ones - so, no twerking and all that!

    No, not the mighty IGY! :( Sorry this happened mate. I hope you can pull through the next week or so, as you'll experience the chaser effect. From then on it should be back to smooth sailing?

    oh noooes- but hey you're getting right back up on the horse. And now you know 124 days is possible! Hopefully it won't be as difficult this time around?

    Thank you NoB and Earnest. Yes, I am back on the horse and being chased... by the chaser effect! Argh! :mad:

    IGY, not you too man! The mind is weak isn't it. I think you should start a journal, this time? Maybe writing some short thoughts every day will reduce the chaser effect.

    Yes, I have a weak mind ruso. After a couple of days with quite high impulses to watch some porn and masturbate again, I feel a little calmer and they have moved to the back of my mind. Of course, if I allowed myself to dwell on these, my appetite for that sordid shit would hit me like a train! :eek:

    IGY, congrats for the 124 days streak and goodluck with the chaser effect man. You're a proof that what can't be done can be done.

    IGY, you talk about how early on once a week you got incredibly strong urges with an erection. This is what happens to me and is the main reason I cannot extend my streak beyond 7 days. I have taken to MO without P now about once a week, and I dont really get urges to do it with P that frequently, only about once a month. My PMO rate is about once a month. I know that if I can get past that "withdrawal" phase for the first few weeks to couple of months then much bigger things are to follow, but I dont know how.

    What did you do when urges of that intensity came on?

    Evidently, there is a peak in testosterone @ 7 days, which sounds as if it could be the reason why you hit a greater intensity to masturbate around then. Obviously, your erection(s) at this point are going to be incredibly hard (and I used to discharge quite a bit of precum, too).

    I didn't have any special technique to push through that day or two of heightened libido. I tried to keep my reasons to quit in mind; identified fallacious rationalization for what it was and issue counterarguments to stymie it; I distracted my mind by focusing my mind on non-sexual subjects.

    Perhaps, more than anything, I made it an unbreakable rule that I would not touch my penis unless washing or peeing. To even hold it or squeeze it at that point would have been too pleasurable. There is no easy answer really. Know the intensity is temporary and tough it out.

    Wow! IGY...
    This post was very heavy inspiration. And I am even more impressed by how you fought the chaser effect so effectively. After a streak of 124,the chaser effect must have been huge. You are awesome, man!

    I think it is different for everyone, and the biggest factor is what types of practices and exercises you add into your life to speed up the process. I am rebooted no doubt, 38 days without a wet dream now too. I could not have done it without meditation and sexual energy transmutation exercises like mantras, and pranayama's. I also could not have done it if I continued to indulge in porn or even fantasizing when I saw a hot chick. You must learn how to tame your mind! That is the number one thing, and that is why meditation is so important. Contemplation on your actions physical and mental results in more power over our very loose mind.

    Stop fueling the ego of LUST. It is so evil, it is a very powerful demon.

    Here is a tip, When you hit puberty you become sexually mature and your voice changes. This proves how linked our voice is to our sexual energies and this is why for thousands of years people have been reciting prayer and mantra in order to transmute their sexual energies into other positive forms of energy. Start to recite a simple mantra every day like "om maci padme hum" or "om dat sat om".

    Energy can never be destroyed but it can be transformed.

    This great work takes willpower. The great part is that the more sexual energies you have contained within, the more willpower you build as well!. These bodies we own surely are incredibly magnificent works that we haven't even started to master yet. We have de-evolved too must through our lack of control over our LUST. Our ego's have destroyed us so much, but with knowledge of these things we can gain back the power we once had and do things we never imagined possible!

    Keep the faith my friend. You can do this. Don't let the time put you off. Just remember why you're doing it.
