Quoted: Ok, I’m going need to get an idea of some of y’all’s ages. Not looking at porn (a daily thing for me) hasn’t been all that difficult, and I’m not having funky dreams or any strong urges to flog the bishop. Surely I’m not broken at 42? View Quote I'm 48 and it took me about a week to dream. I don't have nearly the sex drive I used to though. |

Quoted: Glad you mentioned yoga. I was gonna recommend it as well. A while back, when I was 28ish I house/dog sat for a guy who I swore had cameras and was monitoring his house while I was in it. So I stayed away from websites and didn’t tug any out for a probably 10 days or so. I had also just started yoga and was going every day like clockwork. When they came back I took a trip to the next town to visit my moped (archer reference if you know) She was fun and we fucked like crazy. She commented “did you get bigger!!?!?” ![]() I think “saving up “ and the yoga is what did it. Yoga opens up all your joints and blood vessels for increased flow. It helped my dick reach full potential. You know, like when you were in HS sitting behind the head cheerleader and got called to the chalk board kinda potential. I recommend yoga for everybody here. I guarantee your sex lives will Go next level and your woman will thank you for it 33 here. EDT: also replacing one habit with another is a successful strategy. Yoga is an absolute monster of a good habit. I’m looking at classes right now for after work. View Quote I'm trying it to see if I can get my low back to relax as well as my pelvic girdle. If it makes my dick bigger, I'll go full namaste dirt foot! |

View Quote ![]() Youre not gonna get what you don’t have, but you will reach your full potential. No doubt that wiggling, strengthening, loosening, and lengthening the pelvic area and spine opens up more blood flow. It’s like going from stock fuel lines that are pinched against the chassis with a zip tie to new stainless steel braided lines with a larger diameter. |

Still going strong on NFN here...wife hasn't said anything regarding the extra attention yet, but she's also had a bit of a head cold the last couple days too.
|
|
Day nine, everything going well. I admit, it's easier with 3 kids already running around. Not a lot of alone time for just myself. That combined 5am workouts and work around the starter farm, I'm usually too tired to touch myself inappropriately.
|
|
Yoga class was full of fit women in yoga pants. I took a spot in the front of the class. So I would not be tempted to release my precious fluids.
For you single guys. That seems to be the place to find skinny and flexible women. |

Quoted: Day 10. Hold the line, men! https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/258113/6AF9FF97-A848-49D0-8D7F-AC89E087F14A_jpe-2161620.JPG View Quote Home with two kids and a wife who I disappointed two night ago. This line is secure and I’ve no previous experience. I think this is the longest I’ve gone. The sex the other night was so worth it. I swear if it keeps getting better each time porn is done for in my life. Pussy is WAY better. |
|
Still good.
Dreams started last night. Not looking at porn at all has been a good thing. |

|
I was able to quickly make the sex with the wife this morning. Maybe she can tell a difference, or maybe she is sleeping more so the early wake up call after the first snooze goes off works.
|
|
|
Still holding strong here. I do no sex with the wife yet.
Tonight's the night, I can feel it. |
|
Well, I’m out. Have to admit though, this is most likely the longest I’ve gone in a few years. Going to try to hold myself to abstaining for the rest of the months. Thanks @narphenal for the chance at great prizes and the motivation to make a change
|
|
1/3 of the way there! keep going, weirdos.
those that have faltered - it isn't over. recover and refocus. the prizes offered by @narphenal are generous and a good incentive, but the real benefit is better.. Quoted: I encourage you to stay the course though. You own self control is worth more than any prize, and cultivating discipline will never serve you poorly. We are still here for you. View Quote |

Odd dreams last night, not sexual. Was a cold warrior trying to find my soldiers for an alert.
Pretty vivid, right down to the BDUs, steel pots, and A0 Bradleys. Holding the line. |
|
Had to really stay focused last night.
Another day of keeping myself busy. |
|

No weird dreams last night. I just kept tossing and turning. Watch says I got the most deep sleep in recent days, and when I woke up at 4::30 I felt AWAKE. No massive sexual urges possibly because I’ve actually had sex this week and twice within seven days.
Journal died. I haven’t kept up with it. Pretty much I have no desire to Jack off, no wet dreams, no raging boners all day long, and I’m not staring at every piece of ass as fuckable any more than normal. TV is a lie. It might be different if I couldn’t get laid, BUT I doubt it. |
|
Day 11 into NNN, woke up, went to work, 40 minutes into my daily work day I found out we have Veteran's day off, went back home.

Quoted: You got this. Over 1/3 of the way there now, why waste all this progress? I'm still going just fine. My daughter has a cold so that's kept me pretty occupied. Hoping my wife and I don't catch it View Quote I definitely won't give it, but needed to acknowledge the desire. I've been keeping crazy busy. |
|
Obviously a bit late to the game....but I have inadvertently been doing pretty well. Been weeks for sure, guess Im getting old. Been crazy busy so that helps, I guess.
Good luck to everyone |

Yesterday was by far the most difficult, probably because it was the first time in a couple weeks I've had any free time in the evenings to myself.
Managed to find something to keep my mind occupied though and made it through without issue. |
|
We are 1/3 in, and there is no way I won't make it.
As the great athletic poet Ronnie Coleman once said "Light weight baby! Ain't nothing but a peanut. Yeah buddy!" |
|
Survived the first night alone with the wife working. Was too damn tired and went to bed early. Had an awesome day today, to the point I will call it in early again. Have the day off tomorrow and looking forward to the weekend.

I’m not in the pool because I didn’t see the thread until 11/1. That said, I’m still holding out.
For some reason, Day 8 was exceptionally tough. Thankfully, the wife came through for me. Crisis averted. Day 11 - still golden. Some days, I feel like doing a Kramer, though. |
|
you guys with wives are lucky.
well.. maybe ![]() I think the boredom quote floating around is the honest to god truth. Yesterday was my off day ( 1 a week) I surfed arfcom and watched KR trial. This thread and the accountability is what keeps me from just saying "fuck it". Im also slowly replacing my old habits with new good ones. I'm cooking a lot more instead of grabbing fast food or whatever is easy on the way home. Big bonus there. Also arriving earlier for work still. Have had a few weird dreams. Won't describe those. Wanted to ask if anyone has the info on a good blood test. The TRT thread is about 1K pages. I've skimmed it in the past and saw blood tests mentioned that are way more in-depth than the typical doctor one. Im curious to know what my T levels are during this, not that I have a baseline to compare to before but figure It's a good time to check. Any leads on some good options. I want to take my diet more seriously. |

I’m married, but I have cut out anything extra. I’ve gone from about 5-6 times a week either solo or with the wife to about 2-3 times a week with just the wife. I’m sleeping better and exercising more and lifting heavier. The time with her is much better and I’m finding I’m not obsessing about sex every hour of the day. I really think this is the reset that I needed. Thanks again OP for starting this thread. My goal is to actually change my bad habits and make this a permanent lifestyle change.
Also I’m 46. |

Quoted: Quoted: Surprisingly uneventful so far. I recall hearing somewhere, “You’re not horny, you’re just bored” and it seems to be true. That quote seems to be true. Hindsight being 20/20, its a definitely a time filler versus a little extra sleep or doing something meaningful or just surfing arfcom ![]() |

Apologies I haven't been in thread at all. Last minute funeral had me out of town.
Reading through everyone's PMs right now. |

Here is a post from a member who wished to remain Anonymous:
The main reason I am participating is for a healthy mental reset towards women. I’m a single guy in an almost purely male industry, so I see very few women per day, much less ones my age. As such, I lay eyes on more women in an online setting than I do in real life. Faces I get to choose… Now, there’s a social cure for this (meet more real women) and I’m working on that too, but simply adding more women to your life doesn’t help as much if you’re still accustomed to seeing most through a sexual lens. Quoted: I’m honestly hoping it makes it so I stop trying to think of her like a porn star or thinking of porn stars when trying to nut. Plus if you’ve ever jacked off while your wife is home it’s kind of sad to think you’d rather fuck your self than her ‘because it’s easier.’ View Quote That post struck me, and though he is speaking from a married case, a single guy equivalent is clear enough. So far, I’m noticing that the women I do see in real life look better, and I’m having better quality conversations with them. I wasn’t doing them or fantasizing about them before, so it’s not withdrawal. In fact, I’m getting more real face/voice time than I gave up. I think that my mental Overton window of realistic/organic images and interaction is shifting to a much healthier frame. I recall some advice threads where guys suggest that if you want to act better around and be more appealing to women, stop looking at porn and stop yanking it. There’s definitely some wisdom in those words. Hold fast, you crazy nutters! View Quote |

Day whatever.
Slept weird on this fucking army rack and now my back hurts all over. Still in NNN/NFN though. |
|
Glad to see you back, OP.
Definitely experiencing mental cravings today. Sadly still no sex since the preg wife is still exhausted/nauseous/both 24/7 which means no relief here. I can't get upset with her because I know it's not her fault, but damn does it suck not having an emergency relief valve. |
|
Still going with NFN. The wife had the day off yesterday and the kids still had school, so some things were done.
I also find it easy to not fap if you work out so hard in the morning you just can't move your arms. |
|
Day 12 and I still rock out with my cock out…of my hand. I’m getting the wife drunk the next few days and we have a baby sitter Saturday night so I’m going balls deep in it.
|
|
Wife has made this easy. She is pregnant and horny. It's been at least once a day, sometimes twice this week.
|
|
Still good with no nut. I haven’t noticed anything weird yet, so that’s good.
