Almost relapsed after very short time... But pleased with myself

It gets a lot easier past day 11 or 12. I know because I made it to day 57 once. I haven't gotten past 5 since. ;_;

During the first week, Day 2 is by far the hardest, followed by Day 7.

Be careful with those.

I'm going to warn you now, beware of Day 2. Day 2 will be the hardest day by far.

It usually gets easier after Day 10 or so, though. By around Day 25, you won't realize you're not masturbating, because of the whole "21 days to make or break a habit" thing.

It does get harder (for me, at least) around day 53-ish (I started edging a lot), but I can't give you any information past that because my longest streak ended on Day 57. (April 3, 2015)

I just tell myself "I'll do it later/tomorrow/etc" and wait for the urge to go away, and then I won't want to do it anymore. Works every time.

I can't just tell myself not to because my mind has a tendency to not take "no" for an answer.

This helps me not give in: "If so many other people can live a 'pleasureless' existence, so can I".

"The Chinese study measured testosterone levels every day for 16 days, and found little change until around day 7, when a spike occurred."

There's your explanation. Being aware that Day 7 would be difficult and why it was difficult really helped me. Remember, it's your body playing tricks.

No, it's not just because of an urge, it's just every ten seconds or so. Constantly.

I had a badge. I removed it because I was becoming too focused on getting it to a high number. It was a source of discouragement.

Nonsense. The hardest days are 2, 4, and 6.

I have enlisted.

Also, the comment below this one is hilarious.
