Going from once a day to once per week is already a lot less masturbating, and I'm sure it'll yield good effects if there are any to masturbating less. I see it kind of like putting off a bad habit like drinking, someone who has to drink 4 bottles a day cutting down to 2 or 1 is a huge improvement and he shouldn't feel bad he can't quit completely.
Alright everyone going to throw in the towel here!
feb 9 of 2013 - 19 april 2013. That's about... 69! days of abstinence.
I'm very proud of what I achieved! It has been a wonderful journey with you all!
I felt alot of benefits of having more natural energy and being able to gym efficiently (although motivation hasn't been consistent) as well as naturally attracting women on days where I'm on phero break.
I felt more like a man after breaking off my daily fap routine.
I decided I'm going to take on an experiment called the 7 day cycle taken from the article from my last post. I felt compelled to commence this experiment on this day so that I can let the build up follow through to the next friday!

Quote from website
"Essentially, testosterone is what helps make a man a man. It's responsible for developing muscle and overall body fitness, not an unusual trait in an alpha male. Also, it helps to charge the male libido and sex drive.
So what's testosterone have to do with masturbation? Testosterone is produced in the testicles and when you ejaculate you are releasing or using up some of that testosterone. This is fine when you are having intercourse with your desired partner, that is the whole point after all, but not fine when a chronic masturbation habit is leaving you drained of testosterone and limiting you from your true sexual potential.
In 2003, there was a research study done on the testosterone levels in males during certain periods of abstaining from ejaculation. It found that there was a gradual increase in testosterone levels during the first five days but on days six and seven there was a huge spike, up to a 147% increase in testosterone on day seven. After day seven, testosterone levels returned to normal, thus indicating that seven days is the effective number of days to abstain from ejaculating in order to hit peak levels of testosterone."
I remember at the start of my journey, i didn't notice much after the 3-4 day mark. Some people found it difficult although for me it felt like just another day!
It wasn't until I finally broke the week barrier was when I started to feel:
-Super horny as if essence is on skyrocket!
-Have motivation to go out! and now I do go out more when I have the chance to meet new people at meetup events that I now consistently attend to.
-I literally wanted to fuck anything that moves!
Few days after that... was when I begun to calm down a bit. Masculine qualities begun to arise in me, I felt more liberated about my sexuality than ashamed of it in my nice guy times.
It's not that i see it as giving up my fap challenge. I feel that i completed my challenge and now I'm taken upon a new one!
Now I was virgin by "Choice" getting laid isn't a real big goal for me. It's no rush it comes when it comes. Hopefully someone worth it
Being inspired by thunders post in another different thread
http://pherotruth.com/Thread-Sleeping-Wi...-of-Women.
It didn't take this no fap challenge to get laid, it was to learn more about my self, taking on self-discipline and learning self control. So now i can say that 'I have done it!'
I wish everyone else the best in their challenge!
Thank you Bored4life for making this thread. I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't come across this.
Another quest for me in my voyage of self development
I will be making reports of this experiment on my journal.
