    Okay so I my last wank was on 2/28. Since then I decided to restrain from fapping for twenty days to a month or maybe longer. My main goal is to enhance pleasure when I do start up again. I didn't even hear of this site until today so I thought this might be a good way to try and keep my hands busy. I heard about this challenge from an article on a site about this guy who first went twenty eight days before breaking down (my upmost congratulations to him). Then he went 190 days (which I wouldn't even dream about). My main problem is that I am still in high school and my last relationship has ended. So basically I am going "hard mode" since I really have no other choice.

    Can someone please fill me in on the benefits of this challenge beside enhancing pleasure? I hope it is worth it because I can not stop thinking about sex. As if it isn't bad enough I am a hormone crazed teenager. Plus the girls in my school with nice asses seem to decided that this month is the best month to wear yoga pants and tight clothes. This is going to suck for a while :(

    Hi Sid. I read your post and had to smile, in a good way. I retired my safety pin a while back, but never mind the bollocks.

    Most of us here are not trying to enhance the experience of MO, aka wanking. Yep, I'm a wanker. Or, I should say I am a retired wanker. Most of us here are trying to quit it, as in forever, because it caused problems in our lives. And when I say "it" I don't really mean the wanking, I mean the porn we used along the way. Turns out it is addictive. Yep, sucks more than yoga pants and tight clothes.

    You might want to look into that Sid. There are a lot of mates here your age, even younger, who are having a problem with it. Not saying you do, but if you do have a problem with it that you could fix now and avoid other issues later in life, it might be beneficial.

    Tell Johnny I said Hi.

    Peace.

    PS. My thread is here. I don't think it has much to say to you because I think you are not where I was at when I decided to quit, but you might find it amusing. I know that if I were you, I would.

    I quite enjoyed the Sex Pistols references! :)

    Porn isn't really my problem. Sure I've watched (and by watch I mean jerk to it) it a few times and I have a playboy in my closet but I always found it to be unrealistic, dull, degrading and a just not for me.

    Cheers man!

    It changes your life. The way you see/ interact with people. The way you treat others. You begin to live a life (your ENTIRE life) of giving to others. Yes, increased pleasure and sensitivity would be YOUR physical benefit. I also find I'm less susceptible to even the common cold the more I abstain. There are also mental and spiritual benefits as well. No doubt, it's incredibly difficult- especially at first and yes- you'll go through phases where you feel you can't control yourself- may even relapse but stay strong and keep trying. Keep working to rise above pure 'animal instinct' and be the best version of yourself for you AND your future mate. Yes, hormone-crazed teenager phase is tough- simply do something MORE productive. (anything is more productive frankly than exercising your wrist to get a 'genital sneeze'.) Look at it this way- if someone were to give you 4 extra days a year, what would you do with those days? If you MO for only 15 minutes a day, it equates to 4 full days lost over the course of 1 year just MO. Problem is, the rush and the dopamine etc that you feel as a result. It won't just be 4 days but before you know it, it turns into a week that you could have been more productive. You could start a business (even at your age), improve your grades, the positive possibilities are endless. Your REAL human potential is endless! Achieve your greatest and strive to be more and yes, in the end your relationship with your one true love will be even better and you'll be better yet. Good Luck!

    @ Lust, you just had to go and drop the dopamine bomb. Just kidding. Even if Sid has no problem with porn, it cannot hurt for him to know about the problem. Truth is, all of us love dopamine, but not all of us use porn to get it. EarthDragon pointed that out to me. It's a caution. God save the Queen.

    Peace.
