Didn't know this was a thing

I decided two weeks ago to take a break from visual pornography, and four days ago to take a break from masturbation. Then I found you guys while researching what kind of physiological effects I could expect, and hot damn, there's a lot of people out there doing this! It sounds like I've got a long, long road ahead of me, and the strongest, most insidious argument my mind has presented so far is, 'Why are you taking a break? This is silly'.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this experience.

 

Oh, I'm well aware of the dangers of edging. I did it about four days straight once, once an hour, every hour I was awake. By the end I couldn't get it up, even with my mate's eager assistance, and my climax was so painful I almost cried. The only temptation I'm risking is when roleplays delve into erotica, and I'm being very wary of the effects that that has, too.
