As per the title. I’ve been doing periods of no masturbation ever since I discovered it, a long way back, so I’d like to know if more people do this as well.

And before someone refers NNN, I had broken the thirty day mark before I was 15yo and the challenge was a thing.

Because I’ll be breaking a personal record very soon, I’d also like to know if having an AMA on the ocasion would be something fun to have (if at all possible; haven’t found the nsfwAMA yet).

    I had a cervix surgery, and the doctor said no sex and no orgasms for six weeks. I think I made it about ten days before the sex dreams started, my body did not agree with the no O thing. I did heal ok though.

    After childbirth is the longest for sure, nursing absolutely tanked my libido down past zero. It was a negative sex drive - like to even get to a normal “I might be able to if you want to” took a lot of work - I didn’t want it and was touched out - and so unsettling after the high of pregnancy. So under more extreme circumstances, 1.5 years, four times. And about 7 or 8 years before I started in the first place, I guess.

    Why don’t you do it more often? Is it not fun for you? Most people do it regularly because they enjoy it. What im trying to say is it is a bit like asking what is the longest you go without breathing

    Mine was about a month. I jerk off more than I’d like to admit.

    An AMA could be fun. Could ask questions about your preferences and what not.

    Only maybe about three weeks for me. I don’t care about any of the weird challenges teenagers do, but it was mostly for mental health reasons and to aid in achieving some other personal goals. Despite the constant commenting, I usually only masturbate about once per week on average though.

    Years.

    Back when the disability stick hit me, I couldn’t. Too much pain to even think about it, much less attempt it. I think it was three years or so. Could have been chooser closer to four, I didn’t exactly do it intentionally and didn’t really think about it when I finally did, so I have to go by the memory of the reason I did it and that’s not something I made note of lol.

    Since then, I’ve still gone months without, but I’m married now and our libidos match damn near perfectly. Masturbation has turned into something I only do specifically as self care rather than as sexual release. It’s about the journey rather than the destination, so to speak.

    When it comes right down to it (pun intended), even if we can’t have sex for a while, I’d rather just wait until we can, unless I’m in the frame of mind to do it “right” by my standards, which isn’t just jerking off to bust a nut. It’s about being feeling good and giving myself a form of mindfulness in that pleasure. Don’t necessarily even need to orgasm or ejaculate (and the two aren’t always the same thing) for it to achieve that sense of connection via pleasure.

    Hell, sometimes ejaculation can break that feeling.

    Mind you, after about a week without ejaculation and/or orgasm, the “pressure” builds up enough to turn my dreams into free porn lol.
