So, a mere six hours from the end of this month and odd ritual (or non-ritual, I guess) and I get a horrible, debilitating flu. I don't even want to masturbate. I'll get back to you guys with results soon enough though, I'm certain.

Ok, I'm willing to give this idea a go for the rest of the month.

To be fair, it is possible that they had enough sex to not need to masturbate this month. However, whenever anyone says that they never ever masturbate, there is a 99% chance they are lying.

And really, people actually think masturbating is bad and something to be ashamed of? Lol, how insane is that. You should be ashamed of not taking care of your body properly and also of missing out on a lot of pleasure.

Okay, got in a good enough state of health that I could actually masturbate. Took me forever to cum, which is odd for me because although I don't suffer from premature ejaculation or anything, I often cum a little sooner than I would like. When I finally did, it shot in eleven or twelve bursts. It was seriously so much that I was wanting for it to stop. I'd like to thank my left hand, my salivary gland, and extensive documentation of Lily Thai, Evelyn Lin, and Kara Tai for making this possible (I've mostly stopped watching porn, but this was a special occasion, I s'pose).

I haven't had sex this month either. I hadn't had an orgasm for an entire month. I did have extensive contact with an unbelievably gorgeous young woman, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, but it was not a sexual encounter.

For the people saying it's a bold-faced lie, it was really much easier for me than I would've thought. After awhile I just stopped thinking about it so much -- I was also much more motivated than usual to get reading, writing, and exercise done. However, I've been very high-stress lately, but that's mostly because contact with the aforementioned beautiful young woman has trailed off under fairly dubious circumstances. I'm not sure where we stand and I don't have any way of finding out. I suspect that under normal circumstances I would still be comparatively anxious, but extenuating circumstances prevent me from drawing a direct causal connection between lack of masturbation and heightened stress.

I think that a month is probably longer than is necessary for my purposes -- waiting two weeks at a time felt more comfortable while still stimulating my vital energy, plus I feel like it's important to be in tune with my sexual processes for the simple fact that above-average performance in bed is something I have particular interest in achieving. This hadn't been a real issue for awhile (three years have passed since I last had an explicitly sexual encounter), but in light of my dating life reanimating itself, it seems like a good thing to be aware of.

So, closing statements about Don't Fap December... it's definitely not for everyone. If you place a high value on self-control like I do, it delivers a definite feeling of satisfaction, but the practice is overly scrupulous for normal living. I will say that there are slight negative effects to excessive masturbation, just as there are slight negative effects to abstinence from it -- as is the case with most things in life, you'll be at your best if you find a balance. I may "celebrate" this again next year, although romantically I could be anywhere by then, so not cumming for a whole month may or may not be the matter in question next time around.

EDIT: I think I should mention that there was scarcely a day in high-school that I didn't masturbate at least once, so don't think that I'm a total prude when it comes to masturbation or anything. I think it should be clear by my language that I'm not particularly touchy when it comes to the subject, I've just made a project out of seeing how cultivating my self-control can have an effect on various sectors of my life. Anyone can do this if they want to -- it's just a matter of body chemistry and personal outlook if it would actually be worth it.

Nice story! 12 bursts is so many. Did you also shoot much farther than normal? It must have felt good to let out so much after waiting for so long.

Why do I get the feeling there's a little more than just garden variety curiosity when it comes to the details of my cumshot, Izzy?

It was probably about twice as much as average in every way. Very Peter North-like, honestly.
