Porn. And Masturbation.

I've tried the no fap challenge and went 4 months. I had a relapse and the nut was incredible after resisting for so long, but I instantly regretted it and wished I have saved that for a provider or someone else. But yeah I recycled much quicker but had to stop what I was doing.

As for the wet dreams; I started to have them. You body will have "maintenance" or flushing out old sperm no matter if you do it or not.

I'll have to renew that challenge today. It is a great test of will.

It comes and goes in waves for me, but definitely seems as though, the more I get it.... the more insatiable I become!

And I also agree with prograde ...backing off for a bit and then getting it can be VERY intense. Originally Posted by M A X

Alex_Reece - 4 months, holy shit! Is that 4 months and no pops at all or only pops with sex? I know what you mean about breaking down then regretting it. For me it's feeling like I wasted all that energy and how much better it would have been to wait until having sex.

4 months, no pops at all. Hadn't gotten laid at all during that time. The experience to restraining myself for that long was strange. During the first few weeks to a month and a half, it was fine, but then as the urges kept getting more intense, and me noticing that, allowing myself to consciously accept that I am horny while denying what my body wants not only got harder, but also, it brought my awareness to not only my self, but the physical world around me up a notch each time.

Not to sound all mysterious and all, but I noticed to all kinds of things differently, well not differently but more intensely. I was carrying something up the stairs to my apartment when I misstep and fell. Cracked my elbow on the cement. The pain, although I don't do that often, felt a lot more intense. It seems that I consciously made it that way because I had become very in the moment and fully indulging in how my senses reacted more and more now that I was paying attention.

It's hard to explain, especially without sounding like this was a magical experience. It wasn't. It was hell. But your conscious levels will be upped dramatically. That I'm certain.

Your senses are the same, yet you are paying attention to them and I think because of that, whatever you feel are more intense.

The day I gave in and made myself pop is when I felt like I was sucked down whirlwind of sorts and everything seemed a little less .... man I can't really put it into words. I instantly felt that I was was concisely asleep again, and not awake. I can not only imagine if I was to revert like that, to have that done whilst in the company of a woman.

Ok I'm stopping here. Dude if you try it and go that long without it, you WILL feel different. That much I know for sure.

"Then there is the biochemistry of the orgasm itself. Research shows that during ejaculation, men release a cocktail of brain chemicals, including norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide (NO), and the hormone prolactin. The release of prolactin is linked to the feeling of sexual satisfaction, and it also mediates the “recovery time” that men are well aware of—the time a guy must wait before “giving it another go.” Studies have also shown that men deficient in prolactin have faster recovery times.

Prolactin levels are naturally higher during sleep, and animals injected with the chemical become tired immediately. This suggests a strong link between prolactin and sleep, so it’s likely that the hormone’s release during orgasm causes men to feel sleepy."

Sleep, Sex, Men
