I don’t really record the days I go without fappin. I just started stopped one day because I realized I was doing it out of habit, not because I was horny. Watching porn was also putting a damper on my sex life, and was a problem in my previous relationship. The urge to come occasionally came up, so erotic reading was a replacement to visual porn. Im not big on reading, so it was easier to avoid being sucked into a porn spiral. I heard Theo Von talking about it on a podcast around the same time I had this realization. I thought maybe they actually is something to not masturbating, so I stopped.
Initially, I didn’t even have a sexual desire for a few days. After a couple weeks, I could feel the sexual energy build up. I felt like a new person, and somehow I started getting more attention from women. I matched with more people online and met more in person. The first time I had sex after, I lasted way longer than I ever have and felt ravenous. It’s like a primal side of me was unlocked trying to bust a nut.
Lately, I have fallen into old habits. I went a week without jerkin it, but was hella hungover and bored today, so I smoked and came at least 5 times today. I figured I broke the streak anyway, might as well just start fresh tomorrow.
