Quitting Masturbating

I am thinking to quit masturbating. It is not the usual reason where people thing that masturbating hinders gains. Rather I think that if I stop masturbating and watching porn, I will become more and more horny and this will really give me the drive and motivation to meet new women and hook up. I’m thinking about continuing to have an edge session once a week just to ensure that my penis still works and can get nice and hard, plus for the practice of withholding ejaculation for extended periods of time. Basically I’m gonna try to channel my sexual energy to other aspects of my life, rather then releasing it regularly.

Does anyone Edge without porn? I have never tried this but have read about it in the multi-orgasmic man. It seems like a real chore to me and I would like to hear some thoughts about this.

I ejaculate once a week and I can tell you that I used to be much much hornier when I masturbated every day.Also edging without porn is better, at least for me.

Yea in my opinion I am hornier and can maintain erections better if I masturbate at least once every 2 days the more the better. I abstained once for 2 weeks just to see effects I had little urge to have sex or masturbate after 1st week and when I finally did I found I had much less control over it. I decided to just use it while I can no abstaining from orgasm or ejaculation for me anymore. Not to mention the random erections at night or morning are more often if I masturbated the day before.

Like the guys above, I have found that if I go more than a few days without an orgasm, my sexual desire and my penis’s functioning both start to go downhill gradually. On the other hand, if I masturbate every day (or multiple times a day) for a long period, without break, I also find myself starting to get sexually listless. For me, the optimum is an “irregular” schedule of masturbation/sex, switching things up between jerking off four times a day, and then, say, taking a couple days off.

Every guy is different in this regard. See what works best for you.

I have noticed the same thing with me as BobiTurboto (awesome name by the way) and Bigbassman. I’m horniest when I masturbate every day or every other day. As far as semen retention my erections get progressively more spontaneous and harder up until about day 4 then they die down and get softer.

As far as abstaining from porn, I think this is a good idea and will benefit your sex life. I don’t think it will make your libido increase, it might actually decrease it in that you might not be as conscious about finding the next beautiful object to stimulate you. It won’t make fat chicks suddenly become supper hot either, unless your already into that. But what it will do is make the women you are already attracted to even more attractive, their bodies will please you better visually. What caused slight arousal before (in the real world) will cause more excitement than what usually would happen had I been routinely watching porn. This at least has been my experience.

Good to hear that many other guys, like me, notice a non-linear effect of “time off” from orgasm/ejaculation. Some of the anti-ejaculation threads have made me think that I’m weird, but apparently not.

good luck. lol!

I disagree with everyone. The longer I go without ejaculation, the stronger my erections and penile health in general improves. I don’t ignore my penis though! I have sex with my woman every day, but I withhold ejaculation. Here’s a non-scientific explanation: When you have sexual contact, some form of gas enters your penis (perhaps Nitrogen?), and its purpose is to pressurize your unit. This pressure serves two biological purposes: 1) to give you a strong erection so that you can enter the woman deeply, 2) to allow for a strong ejaculation which shoots forwardly such that your semen can reach as deep as possible. Now, when you ejaculation it naturally marks the end of your sexual encounter. As such, the gas or pressure is released and your penis becomes exhausted. My method is to maintain that state of pressurized penis! Now when I’m flaccid, my penis is big always. When I used to ejaculate every day, my flaccid penis was always small. Also, I enjoy a host of great sexual qualities like endless staying power, rock-hard erections, better orgasms, raging libido, and the list goes on. If anyone wants to learn about this, feel free to PM me.

PMs defeat the purpose of a forum m_e.

I find that masturbating does not lead to a reduction in desire for sex, but sex greatly reduces the desire to masturbate and watch porn. My desire for sex increases with the number of women I meet in my day-to-day life - but porn just provides a quick pick-me-up when I feel down, so for me porn does not reduce my desire for real sex. A sexy smile from an attractive woman at the start of the day often fuels a masturbation fantasy later that night - and herein lies the problem, choosing the certain fantasy over the uncertain reality. I think if you can get over this mental roadblock and choose the more difficult but more rewarding option of the uncertain reality, porn and masturbation will take their rightful place as gap-fillers and won’t have to be cut from your life.

I’d be interested to read your results if you try abstaining from porn and masturbation.

Good luck!

That’s all I have to say. :)

Ejaculate it’s healthy.

Would you mind telling us how old are you? Have you met the builders of the Sphinx personally? I ask you this because your “non-scientific” explanation seems to come from a different era, some thousands years ago… FYI we have some better clues today about the physiology of erections!

I’m sure that list of yours also contains immortality.
Congratulations, you are the perfect man! :)

On topic: Quit masturbation trading it for sex!

LOL! Yeah, non-ejaculation is of course a several-thousand-year-old tradition in the East. What I meant by non-scientific is that I am no doctor and don’t pretend to be. All I know, from my own observation and experience, is that my penis has a lot of pressure which comes from some physiological phenomenon, and that pressure goes away when I ejaculate! This forum is a hodgepodge of perspectives and wisdom, so everyone’s going to get a taste of different points of view on the subject they research. Good luck to everyone in finding their own way! By the way, I am 23 years old.

So I went for a week straight without ejaculation. I edged once on Wednesday for about 30 min and no ejaculation. Then I started to grow super horny over the last 2 days. This morning I decided to edge before work, I was able to get through the first PONR and experience the contractions without ejaculation but then the second one I busted. What happened was that I couldn’t hold a good erection after the first PONR because I am doing this with no porn as stated earlier, so I was holding a Kegel to pump blood during the stimulation. Then by the time of the PONR, I guess my PC muscle was already worn out so I ejaculated.

My next attempt will be on Wednesday and I will report how it went.
