For me the issue is ����/lust, not the actual masturbation. My way to deal with this is to see it as a normal body function and take care of it as I would any body necessity.

During one 3 month span of my life I was so depressed that I had to force myself about once a week to masturbate as a normal body function. I knew the release would make me feel better mentally but I was so depressed I didn't want it. Masturbating as "maintenance" to take care of my body helped keep things from getting worse though.

Again, I am not giving up or giving in, I am adjusting my way of seeing this and finding a safe method to release without sin. So the plan now is to still strive for the 90 days but if I start suffering the above negative emotions I will take action to reset. Sound good?

This whole thing sounds GREAT! The ironic part is now that you have adjusted your mindset you'll probably go 37 days without having to masturbate and have zero issues.

Praying you have the clarity to see the path that's got your name on it and walk that path with your head high and smiling.
 
Gee I failed lol. Guess that's what happens when you stay up too damn late. Talk about crazy load though for 5 days! I guess it's an improvement from 3+ times in one night every single day of the week.

:) Thanks My Brother! The path becomes more and more clear as I progress. To be honest I was down on myself because I felt as though I was just not making progress but when I looked at it rationally I am seeing the great success. Now, everyone in this game should know this; God does not expect us to be perfect or even give up the thing we love to do, He only wants to see you try your best. I look at it like this; I have two arms full of donuts and I don't want to give them all up, I have loved these donuts for so long and I would not know what to do if I did not have them. God comes back and says "I do not want all your donuts, but how about giving me a couple, you have 24!" So I give God two donuts. As time goes by and I gather strength God may come back and ask me for a few more donuts. At this point I am stating to see that I really do not NEED these donuts so this time it was easier giving up a few. This process will go on until we have given up all the donuts. Now, do not think that that is the end, you will most likely eat more donuts but the differnce now is you control them, they do not control you. God is gentle and His yoke is light!

Progress my Brother is progress! Some of the triggers for me are being tired or overmedicated. So try not to make choices when you are tired, wait until the next morning to make that choice. It is very hard to resist temptation when all of our faculties are not in order. So I go by the H.A.L.T., if I am hungry, angry, lonely or tired I try not to make any decisions until I have brought myself into good health.

What was your reason for trying to stop masturbating? 3x in 1 day every day would leave me sore. I know you get used it to it after a while but that's quite a bit of masturbation going on.

You are correct sir.

Now the part about the donuts made me think of an old joke that seems really fitting for you....

Who's the most popular man at a nudist colony?

The guy who can carry a dozen donuts while holding a cup of coffee in each hand.

Of course you have to then ask - who's the most popular woman at a nudist colony?

The one who can eat the last donut!

Carry on wisely and enjoy the joke.

Well I have been losing a lot of hair and experienced hair thinning. So I came to the conclusion that releasing my protein from my body isn't a good idea. Also it's releases a lot of testoerone throughout your body when you ejaculate. I been reading. There's no direct correlation with masturbating and hair loss but I was compulsive with it (stress and anxiety was a big factor as well).

I decided to try a no fap session and honestly I liked it. I felt better , I felt confident, I had a lot more motivation and concentration on the things I was doing. Also FL/FG/E.G. We're greatly improved. I was definitely happy with the results. Last but not least I was a lot more inspired to stick to my PE routine than before. It just feels like a constant burst of energy. Lol

Isn't that amazing? I thought my life would become more complicated, harder, more stressful but just the opposite. I am by no means close to being perfect but with the progress I have made I feel so much better about myself. I no longer have that burning need to check out every woman. I no longer have to deal with the foggy guilt after. I just feel much better and much more disciplined. I think men get scared to give up ����/mast as they think it will make their lives miserable when just the opposite is what happens. And believe me, this does not add to premature ejac. I still; maintain very good control over that when I do slide into masturbation again. I have given up many things in my life and the two hardest have been sex and cigarettes.
 
Update on me. I was reading Romans 6-9 and if anyone reads the bible it is very easy to find justifications for doing the wrong thing if misinterpreted, as many do. I truly love what St. Paul is explaining here and when it is listened to completely and not taken out of context it is a great help in this challenge. Even if you are not a religious person I suggest reading these verses as it will help with guilt and understanding human nature. Anyway, last night I was greatly tempted and I said to myself, 'well go into the bathroom, close your eyes and knock one off' .....nope, that is not what I wanted! I wanted ����! My selfishness showed it's face and I recognized it! Case closed! Victory!
 
no no no..30 days is hell to me what more on 90 days hahaha. I don't think I can do this, well good luck guys you got my full support.
 
I will attain the 45 day mark and reevaluate my state of mind. I am hoping with this new way of approaching these temptations truly works. So far it is awesome, whenever the temptation comes up I immediately say to myself, "I don't do that anymore" and I move on. It seems too simple but I have to say it has been working. Best of luck to all who are accomplishing this great and worthy challenge.
 
This is also a ROLLING challenge that any man can join at anytime to complete the 90 days, and all that is asked is HONESTY and if you need support than just ask, like I may find this difficult now and than.
