No Porn: No Masturbation: 30 Days

@ Mike, ask the Taoist

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_Sexual_Practices

I’m so glad I started the previous masturbation thread. I love how all it takes is posing a question to someone with a different point of view to inspire you to improve and change your ways.

I’m in for the challenge too. Let’s let the testosterone levels build up! HORMONES!!!!!

Is anyone only doing this challenge to see how it affects them.

I have a severe distrust for most of the benefits listed here.
I think moderation here is key.

I think there a just as many “proven” benefits of masturbation as there are “proven” cons. End of a long day, ejaculating (sex or masturbation) helps put me to sleep. I have gone weeks in the past without, but I can’t say I noticed any extraordinary effects.

I’ll leave an article here for you HEathens to read.

@Vasco It takes more than a strong PC muscle.

What is edging? If you’re referring to those stretching devices then no.

When you start out you will still bust your nut, but as you keep practicing the ejaculation will go away. At first you might have to rely on special techniques, then you’ll be able to do it with your muscles only, and lateryou can do it with nothing but your mind, and when you master it it will be automatic default mode.

@Manimal Ok, I’ll give it a go and see how it works out for me.

Edging is when you masturbate / have sex almost until orgasm, then stop before the ‘point of no return’, wait a few moments and start again. Some people say they can last for hours with this technique.

I’m in, and wow I didn’t realise stopping ejaculation was an actual technique.

Yeah It was kind of a typo, those words are associated with each other and get mixed up, I edited it.

What’s done is done. There’s no way back. What you can do to “compensate” is to simply be healthy, that will allow you to live longer.

We simply have to accept our mistakes and learn from them.

Some of the reboot stories on yourbrainonporn.com are pretty amazing to read. Some of the symptoms people experienced whilst watching too much porn actually related to symptoms I had a while ago. Very interesting reads. One of my best friends has been preaching this site to me for over a year now and I finally went to look at it now. Reading some of the stuff makes me more into this than ever. I know i said it already but I’m 100% in.

Yeah that site is really well put together and interesting. It pretty much is the inspiration behind me giving up masturbating. Really good website.

It’s no fap feburary.

I’m in.

Porn is a tool of government mind control, like advertising, junk food, media & drugs that keeps the people distracted from the real issues of the world.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was part of corporate policy to keep us obedient & manageable ie paradise syndrome.

On a side note. Can someone tell me what is the healthy recommended amount of times one should ejaculate over any given period? Once a week, month, year? Without porn of course?

B.T.W yourbrainonporn is the best resource I’ve seen on the subject.

@Paul According to the taoist masters, a young man should ejaculate no more than once a week, that’s maximum. As you get older, you should decrease the frequency even more. But retaining it completely is better.

I think you might be right about the “paradise syndrome” distraction stuff. The more distracted a person is, through entertainment such as tv and masturbation, the less they will care about real issues, and the weaker they will become. Especially when you’re abusing your body’s “gratification system” so severely, like masturbating and doing drugs.
