    So, I am fairly new to this, and I have taken the decision not to masturbate, watch porn or orgasm.
    I am only 42, but my only concern is how the prostate is affected by no ejaculating, can anyone give me some advice on this please?

    Well, there are different opinions on this. Doctors seem to think that you need to ejaculate every so often to 'clean the pipes' so to speak and maintain prostate health. Personally I find most doctors to be among the smartest people I know, but there are plenty who disagree with that.

    Personally, I think the occasional orgasm (maybe once or twice a week) is a good balance between cleaning the pipes and not wasting too much semen. That said, you should probably stay away from porn, largely because of it's mental affects, and the likelihood that a porn binge will probably see you ejaculating an unhealthy, excessive amount.

    The affect on your prostate (IMO) depends on how long you plan to do this for. If your plan is to never ejaculate again in your life, you might have some problems in the future. However, if your plan is to simply abstain for 90 days until you're "rebooted" and then go back to a normal sex life, well, I can't see your prostate suffering too much in 90 days unless you already have some underlying medical condition.

    For all that though, asking for medical advice on an anonymous Internet forum is fraught with danger. If you think you have some kind of health problem, or could develop one, perhaps it's best to go and see a medical professional.

    Thank you for the feedback. I do not wish to ejaculate as often as once a week, maybe once a month would be ok?

    That's probably a good question for a doctor. I am not one, so I can't claim to be an expert in the field.

    YBOP says masturbation is not a relapse, only porn is a relapse. Never the less I believe its best not to masturbate, especially at only 30 days in.
    You will ejaculate in your sleep (wet dreams) so that will 'clean the pipes'. Your body takes care of itself.
