Well if you get a stomach virus it’s easy to stay the course. If you give it to your wife and kid it’s even easier. Maybe by day 22 I’ll have a weird dream.

Except mine is a head cold and my wife and kid had it first. I've had a couple odd dreams, but nothing super crazy. |

10 days!
Found the correct combination of melatonin and Benadryl, I think, so I feel well rested today. |

All you fellers with your weird dreams. I've been sleeping great, which isn't unusual, and have had no dreams.

Quoted: All you fellers with your weird dreams. I've been sleeping great, which isn't unusual, and have had no dreams. View Quote I think I has crossed the hurdle. Slept great for the past 2 nights. Survived the wife being out of town for a few days also. Watched a movie on Netflix, the first time I have done that in well over a year (movie was the new one with The Rock, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds. Not a bad show.) |
|
Well Covid and Strep has officially killed any sex drive I would've had the last 3 days... So I guess for the purpose of this thread/challenge, that's a plus.
Wife got her vax and is feeling the side effects today as well so the next week should be smooth sailing and then theres only 3 days left. Good luck to all those that still remain! |
|
Still there. Not gonna lie, the first 2 weeks were easy. But shortly after, the temptation was pretty tough to stave off. Without this thread, I would've caved.
|
|
Still in it.
I'm more interested in seeing how far I can go after the month is up. |

I really feel like a better person not looking at porn, my judgment is clearer at least. Not gonna lie, was getting urges last night and pretty tempted after my wife went to bed early, but pulled through. Paid off as I got fantastic sex tonight |

A reminder to keep going - it's almost Thanksgiving, and you've almost made it to the time where temptation will ease off if/when you've got inlaws and family running around, things to keep busy with. Like Black Friday shopping for materialistic junk!
Not to mention there's opportunity for pigging out on delicious turkey, gravy, and pie (the ethically acceptable vice!) which will take your mind off of the abstaining. Especially if you're doing manly stuff like deep frying a turkey. Stay the course. What's your favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner/events? |
|
Still going strong. Chemo has been kicking my ass to the point I'm worn down and couldn't do it if I wanted to at this point.
To everyone else still in: Keep strong and don't give in. God bless and happy Thanksgiving to everyone. |

Had to tell the wife what I was doing. She was starting to think the extra attention was because I was cheating on her... lol.
|

Still in NFN. The wife and I got away for a night last night to a cabin in the woods. The kind where no one is around. It was fantastic.

Almost time! Keep going!
Still going well here although I’ve had a nonstop headache for around 5 days now not sure if that has anything to do with it but oh well close to the finish line! |
|
It’s getting boring. Even after being sick all week I don’t have the desire to look at porn, because I don’t even have the desire to cum. I’ve straight up given up on ever cumming inside my wife again because both of us are exhausted and literally every chance/attempt I THOUGHT we had or I made, I’m denied. Yay sexless marriage. Hope I win something cool as a sex trophy.

Quoted: I haven’t had any weird dreams. What do you guys mean by “weird” dreams? View Quote So I think they’re sex related When I did a Whole 30 I had dreams about food that made no sense. A coworker did it and told me the same thing. Weird shit like ‘I was eating funfetti cake in my parents garage while the family was inside. I was eating it like I was cheating on a diet, didn’t care, and didn’t want to get caught. I was living in the moment and knew all about whole 30 and the rules and was still shoveling it into my face. I HATE funfetti cake.’ So I’d imagine similar ‘weird’ dreams with sex like ‘my wife’s sister came on to me and I was totally horny for her except I’m not attracted to her, and she’s a lesbian.’ |

Not much has changed at all for me.
My sleep is always messed up, but I haven't noticed anything different. I have sex pretty much every day, if not multiple times a day. Punching the clown is usually a time waster. I haven't had time on my hands like I typically would this time of year. I will say it's weird keeping up with a thread in which a bunch of us dudes share how much we want to masturbate. "Hey bud, you give in and flog your cock yet?" " Ho ho, no, not yet. You?" " Come on one December!" |
|
I'm out.
lasted 21 days. It was easy the first two weeks but the last one was harder. At first, it seemed it was just boredom but I've found my other trigger. Stress. I'm gonna work on that one. wish you all well. This was an insightful experience and I'm gonna make some personal changes |

The last 8-9 days should be easy for me to finish NFN. The kids are off for Thanksgiving break all this week and then two days next week to cap the month off.
|
|
Im still good. NFN, and still going strong.
I feel a bit guilty as it hasnt been a real challenge for me; IMO, for all the right reasons. |
|
Wife finally felt good so at least Im not on track for NNN
NFN still GTG! |
|
I’m still in, I’ve been sleeping better lately, almost never had dreams before this but I dream every night now. Had a dream last night that I worked as an insurance agent in some really fancy strip mall store that also sold beer and soda in some really fancy display cases. They picked us up for a work in a stretch limo bmw sedan.
|
|
home stretch is in sight but I will say I had a dream about a girl I knew in college that was, what 22 days ago, would have been best described as, a good start.

I'm still going stong for NFN. Luckily, my GF has been very helpful!
This past week I was actively conserving energy for the bike ride I did Saturday. Attached File Stay busy, exercise and focus on the home stretch fellas!!! |
|
Wife didn't turn me down at 4am this morning. Not sure if she was not sleeping or what, but I woke up super horned up and she didn't prevent my advances. It would have been a serious challenge if I was doing NNN. Still in this thing though. I'll also be continuing this into December.

Quoted: Why? Is giving up fapping and porn for 1/12 of a year that bad? I don’t have enough self control to quit smoking, but porn and cranking my yank is fairly easy compared to quitting drinking, which I managed last year.

So this video showed up when I was scrolling through YouTube. I figured some of you would find it interesting. She’s a urologist and she discusses no nut November.
