    I have abstained from PMO for longer periods before, but it's been a while. My day counter below is marking PMO, but I have gone without MO for 15 days now. At first, you feel kinda horny but the battle is mostly mental. Once you pass a week, the mental battle is less, in the sense of just fighting the habitual side of it. As of 3 days ago, the real physical battle kicked in. It has been pretty easy this go round up to that point. I actually had legit blue balls two nights ago. My nuts feel full all the time now, everything is very sensitive down there (in a good way), and it's kinda nice overall, but it's like my body is also saying to me, "OK, when are we going to have a release? We're all ready to go down here!" lo
    Mentally, I feel like I am currently "in the zone" as far as just being determined to not go there. (And I know to not get cocky and let my guard down bec that's when it's easiest to just give in.) I even took a bath today, and relaxed (work has been pretty stressful recently), and it was great and I had no temptation to give Mr. Willy any more attention than he required, and it wasn't a battle. That was huge for me! So, I feel good, despite the on again/off again blue balls, I even feel it now, but it just feels weird to say "no" to myself, when my body more than my mind is craving for a release. Like, I'm actually not craving an O, just a pressure release. I'm determined to ride this thing out, but I'm finding that aspect is the hardest for me this go around..

    Does anybody have any advice for dealing with that? How to convince yourself to ignore your nuts when they feel like they are going to explode? ha. But seriously... any tips to manage the pressure/soreness? I just tell myself I'll be ok, my body will have a wet dream when it needs to. How long did you fapstronauts abstain before you guys got a WD? I haven't had one in years, because of too much PMO. But now I feel like one can't come too soon. For the physical release more than anything.
