Day 181
Well, after 6 months of no MO or PMO, I finally MO'ed again. I didn't watch porn, but I just had to masturbate again. And let me tell you, after the orgasm.. I didn't feel lethargic, I felt reenergized... Reinvigorated. Like something kicked my ass into gear again.
So, what was it like not masturbating or watching porn for 6 months?
1st month: Noticeable changes such as change in mood and personality; my productivity increased and I seemed to have a new view in the world. Sex dreams were common and I had a lot of morning woods. I was somewhat motivated to talk to girls and conversations flowed.
2nd month: The novelty of quitting masturbating slowly faded and I had slowly reverted back to where I was prior to when I was still watching porn. Granted, I was still productive though. Sex dreams faded away and so did morning woods.
3-5 months: I just started going through the motions, I started feeling numb, and I didn't really feel anything. I could see boobs or something just scrolling through instagram or the internet or some movie, but it wouldn't even phase me. Sex dreams and morning woods were nonexistent. But the times I did get a boner, it was so hard, it was almost impossible to resist masturbating because there so much built up pressure.. And, if I ever flirted with a girl, I would start getting a boner for some reason and it was kind of weird but I understood it was my body convincing me that I was going to have sex with the girl.
6th months: I have started getting anxious around girls for some reason. I second guessed what I said and everything I was saying just seemed forced and awkward and unnatural. Anytime I would see a girl I was attracted to, I would get strong sexual fantasies that would be really distracting.
So, in summary, the first few months of going extreme cold turkey is good, but not masturbating had some minor adverse effects of my personality and how I interacted with girls.
For those of you reading and considering quitting porn AND masturbation, do it for a good while, but don't drag it out too long, or your progress can somewhat backfire.
Moving forward, I am going to keep masturbating limited but I will participate in it every week and find a happy medium.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Good luck y'all.
