Masturbating is a habit caused by sexual drive. The pictures in the bibles were drawn for people who were illiterate, because there were a lot in those days. Also, those pictures referred to the levitical laws which commanded against giving in to unlawful sexual desires.It is a habit that can be overcome with some effort, but the temptation will remain until you get used to it and overpower it.

In reply to:nah it appeares ill be able to do a month easy... and 3 months is starting to look like cake to me... Me too! Although I don't know about 3 months being cake. One day at a time with me. Everyday is a struggle not to masturbate, but I'm managing. Just over 3 weeks now and counting...

hasn't been a strugle for me at all so far

It's been a bit of a struggle for me, but not anything I can't handle. It's entirely doable, and the feeling of being free is great! My proof: a year and a half of freedom thus far, and the temptation is pretty non-existant. Not that I don't have a sex drive, I'm still looking forward to being married, it's just that its a great feeling to be able to control your own body. I encourage you all to continue in your efforts of freedom!

rawr!

wow, good luck also my longest is probably 1-2 weeks but i wasnt trying to stop or anything i was just on vacation with friends and felt uncomfortable

F22fighter I don't think marrage has anything to do with your sex drive.

Marriage is when I get to give in to my sex drive. I'm not saying that's the sole purpose of marriage, because the relationship is even more important than the sex, but by my religion, that's when I'm allowed to give in and become one flesh with my wife. I was just saying that you can tame your sex drive until you're ready to use it for what it was meant for.

4 weeks!how a holding up focus ... almost slipped today that urge came and went really fast... ... ... several times ... ... in a row... ... heh this is funnyI told my friends that im gonna try to go as long as I can without masturbating and one of them was like..."nope... not gonna happen"the onther one gave me props for lasting 25 days
-
this is gonna be my last post untill I quit, that way this thread can stay dead =]

I'm still good! Just past 4 weeks. That would be one whole month :laughing:
Still going strong! No wet dreams yet tho... :frowning: I'm going to keep abstaining until I get wet dreams. It will probably be another month or two before that happens. Well, Lent is coming up, so we can continue to abstain for that, although I wonder if it counts giving up something that you've started giving up on before Lent starts? :confused: :smile:
I must say I'm very proud of myself for making it this far. But I'm not past my record, which is 8 weeks. That was a while ago - my most recent record last year was 6 weeks. I hope to blow right past that.

Take up EverQuest 1 or 2. Trust me, it'll eat up 6 months in no time.

congrats oglethorpe and focus! I actually did this a couple of years ago with a buddy. I didn't think I could do 2 weeks (which was my previous record). Our goal was to just do 30, which we did. I was surprised how easy it was (once I got past 2 weeks). Then it was 60, 90, and 120. That's as far as I got. My friend actually crossed the 300 day mark!Crazy thing was, I never got a wet dream. My roommate started getting them after about 45 days, and got them every few weeks or so.It can be done and it gets easier as you go. The trick is to not only actively avoid any stimulation, but to not think about the desire to masturbate. I recently started the venture again and got some great advice: the trick is to learn to enjoy the erotic feelings and the sexual drive without associating it with the need or desire to masturbate.Good luck guys!(I just realized that tomorrow is Feb. 1 which is when I promised myself I would stop for good...)

Quiting entirely makes no sense to me. i think it will desexatise (doubt thats a word but u get my meaning) a person, and probly isnt good for you since masturbation relives stress.
Practicing abstenance for short periods is brilliant. You can use it as a weapon to give u more confidence and ka to get with some one. Plus when u go without an orgasim for a few weeks... the time u have sex is very explosive. -

That's just absurd. Desexatise? What in the name of Pete does that mean? Do you have any idea what it's like to walk around with this pervasive feeling of eroticism because you're not acting like a monkey and jacking off everytime you get a little itch? That's sex!

Again...absurd. Masturbating is not wrong or harmful, but to not masturbate has many benifits and causes no harm. Yoga relieves stress. Yelling and beating a pillow relieves stress. Tennis and meditation and good music relieve stress. Masturbation only feels good, releases sperm and semen, and gets rid of "horniness". Don't make it more than it is.

Alrighty ... this was a pretty shitty week as far as masturbation abstinence is concerned, I said I’d let the thread die and only post when I stopped and that’s what happened today.Looking back on the week I saw a lot of mistakes … ones that I do not plan to repeat as I start over. Strangely even though I gave in to a really strong impulse I don’t feel defeated like I usually do when I spank the monkey.It was weird for the entire 5 weeks nothing ... then the last two days were just ridiculous ... oh well ...Anywho 45 days isn’t too shabby although as I scan over my other posts in this thread I do believe I have to put my foot in my mouth… seeing as how I said 3 months would be cake...So as abstinence session #2 begins when ever I get the urge rather than feeding the urge by looking at naked women ill try to analyze it and understand where it’s coming from and then try to control it and make it my bitch.Goals are good ... ... Anywho, I’m expecting to double the number of days I abstain this time. Peace out.Hehehe btw how ya holdin up focus =]
