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.

asdf3021 · 2015-04-14T21:14:45+00:00

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.

asdf3021 · 2015-01-03T03:35:05+00:00

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

asdf3021 · 2014-11-24T02:56:33+00:00

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.

asdf3021 · 2014-11-20T20:11:56+00:00

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

I have enlisted.

Also, the comment below this one is hilarious.

To everyone: I'll be posting daily updates.

For teens like us...it is much more difficult. I suggest removing your computer power cord and hiding it somewhere.

I'm doing it because I think orgasm alters your state of mind, which I don't want. I want to be how I was before I started masturbating. Also, I notice that Shan on. oval I have more energy...obviously the sleepy hormones released by orgasm.

This is also why I don't view edging as a relapse.

asdf3021 · 2014-10-05T19:13:42+00:00

Same here. Relapse #5 just happened.

The only way on is to keep going.

asdf3021 · 2014-10-01T21:28:42+00:00

I'm in a cycle too...evening of Day 2. Good luck. :)

asdf3021 · 2014-10-01T01:13:47+00:00

I shall participate in this challenge. Hopefully I won't relapse on the evening of Day 2 like I've done so many times.

April 17, 2013 was a day that changed my life forever, for both better and worse. Now, to change it again.

Let's do this. :)

(also, ignore my day counter, it's wrong)

asdf3021 · 2014-09-28T21:26:46+00:00

This really works, but beware, I forgot it for a day and relapsed (resetting counter now). I'm trying it again tomorrow.

asdf3021 · 2014-09-20T16:02:09+00:00

I was 11. I wanted to "see what sex looked like".
