Yeah some geniuses on other challenges attempted this feat. Apparently they are beyond the reach of the chaser effect 
so expect a lot of relapses soon if anyone did so xD

Day 16 v2:
Last night I visited SugarMama. This was the first time I was able to stay hard the entire time we were having sex, even during the less exciting parts.
During my encounter with SugarMama, I had induced my medication and supplements that help me stay erect. I hope to make taking medication and supplements a temporary practice as I progress through my journey.
On a separate event, yesterday I came close to relapsing. I was watching a reality television show and one of the characters mentioned that she is a porn star by profession.
I had become curious and did some research on Google. I was able to find her stage name in an article, then I googled her stage name…
… the search results were links to porn sites. I DID NOT click or open the links. The search results revealed (in text form) that she performed in two of my favorite categories of porn.
I knew at that moment I was in danger. But I was able to fight off the PMO monsters by putting my phone in ‘panic’ mode, locking myself out of my phone for 30 minutes.
First day of 2021 was victorious. We may not be able to control what is going on with the rest of the world, but let’s make 2021 the year where we all gain control of ourselves!

Man, you have slept with more women in a month than I have in my dreams in entire life. Then, what is it that attracts you to porn? Why do you even need porn? Throw this shit out of your window bro and cure yourself. 2021 is yours.

@PrDr I turned to porn and had only PMOs for about maybe four months of 2020.
This was during a time when I was heavily studying for scheduled exams. Also, our state was in ‘lockdown’, so fewer opportunities to meet new people out in the wild.
During this time porn developed into more of an addiction, rather than a recreational activity as it had been in the past. It was my vice for hard days worth of studying and substitute for having real sex. The previous mentioned four-month period was probably the loneliest I had ever been.
Even if I’m not having sex, I find just being able to interact with women in a passive non-threatening way was enough to keep me satisfied. During this whole pandemic, I haven’t been doing much of this.
Although it may not be as serious as a drug or alcohol addiction, I still approach this journey as if it were. Even though at this moment in time, I have opportunities to have sex with real women, my brain is still damaged having consistent excessive doses of PMOs.
Thank you for your support. Your response and everyone else’s contribution helps make this journey that much easier

Bro, its no less worse than alcohol or drug abuse. The only difference is, its FREE. Which makes it even more dangerous, since its easily available and doesn’t make you feel as guilty for wasting money.
Those 4 months were hard, I can understand that bro. I also had 2 very bad months recently. But that was in the past. Now, we all must move ahead and build a better future for ourselves. This PMO shit, its time is up. And you will get fine soon bro, don’t worry about it. Just keep fighting.

Day 17 v2:
Ran errands yesterday. Was an overall productive day.
I had floating plans to have either Kristen or Janice stop by, but both fell through.
Fortunately, my platonic friend Karin invited me out, possibly saving me from a relapse. We had a few drinks and discussed basically all items I have mentioned here all the way from my partners to my ED. Like some on here, she’s in shock with how much porn has damaged me or why I ever bothered with porn as she has said that I do not seem to have issues with pulling women.
Karin and I tried dating a few years back, but we are best friends now. We support each other as we progress through life, especially when it comes to the other having a relationship… if you
can even count the type of encounters I’ve been having as relationships.
If anything, I’m working on improving my relationship with myself. Once I get myself where I want to be, maybe I’ll be able to commit much better. We’ll see…

Day 18 v2
The past 24 hours I’ve had some random urges to open up porn, but I did not follow through. These urges seem to be calm and fade away by just talking to my female friends, even if it is just in a platonic manner. I think this shows that I do simply enjoy the company of women, anything beyond that is a bonus.
Today I am beginning to study for my CPA again after the holiday madness.
In one week I return back to work. I’m excited about this as it is now January and I have not worked since last April.
Studying for the CPA is just as mentally stimulating as working a regular job. Doing both work and studying is going to be tough. I’m not sure how this will affect my journey as my sexual health is going to be less of a priority as it was before.
My journey can be affected by working and studying in either of two ways:
- I become mentally weak and take a shortcut resulting in relapse
- I become so overwhelmed that I disregard my urge for sex and my journey continues on in the background
I really hope it’s option 2. Wish me luck guys

@debellator I think I’m beginning to see that as I become more and more busy, I think about sex less and less.
A few years back, I had become so addicted to sex (not porn) because life dealt me a ‘perfect hand’ to capitalize on it. I was out of control; I would get sick and have withdrawals if I didn’t have sex for a few days. Porn didn’t satisfy these urges.
At the time I was making decent money and busy racing cars. Often fast women can come along with fast cars; this played a big part in my having a ‘perfect hand’. I eventually came across one gal, Tracy, who caught my eye and caught me before I crashed and burned (almost literally)
With her I didn’t feel the urge to sleep around. We were occupied as an item and had events or plans every weekend. Almost as quickly as everything started, it was coming to an end very fast.
Racing cars is expensive… VERY expensive. I was running out of money and decided to take a step back and finish school.
Up until recently. I was either in class, studying, or on campus; I was always occupied. I had no trouble with staying hard when I needed to and I watched porn on occasion.
Fast forward to the end of 2020. I was not working. I had finished with school. The thing that broke me down was I wasn’t able to freely frolick in the wild due to the pandemic, so my mind wandered into a dark place. It’ll take some time to find my way out.
Now that I’m about to be compounding studying with working, my brain will be busy enough to not wander further into the darkness.
Once studying/exams are over, hopefully I will have cured my PIED, possibly with few ambushes from the PMO monsters.
I know we are more than sex-grieving monsters, but there is something about sex that boosts my confidence as a man. I want that back!
Thank you @debellator for your continued support

Both statements are true. Glad to hear you’re back in business!
Yeah, man is not here only for sex, he has much higher things he can accomplish. At the same time, God (if you believe in one) designed man also to derive satisfaction from sex.
This quote by Ray Ortlund sums it up,
Sex is like fire. In the fireplace, it keeps us warm. Outside the fireplace, it burns the house down.
Flame on!

Day 19 v2:
Spent most of my time yesterday studying. I feel like I have forgotten what it’s like to have my brain occupied. I can hardly recall even thinking about women during the day yesterday.
I scheduled an appointment to get a passport; I haven’t had one since I was in elementary school. With having the ability to work remotely and the gals I’m matching with in Canada, I’m bound to make use of it eventually.
I have more studying to do tomorrow and my new home office setup is supposed to be arriving. I have a feeling that the days of having time to allow my mind to wander are numbered.
This journey may possibly be easier than it had been previously.

Bro… Do you exercise regularly?
Exercise is an excellent way to improve blood flow and blood flows more effectively to the penis making it more hard. It reduces ED.
@NeverGiveup420 I run for about a half hour every other day. Don’t do too much heavy lifting

It’s 8:20am and I’m still up from last night. Not from porn; that happened like five minutes ago, but from adderall.
First time I took my adderall in a few weeks. It hit me hard. No excuse, just an explanation.
I need to get back into a routine with sleep, studying, and soon to be work withun the next six days. I soon won’t have time for this off-the-wall schedule.
I beat my previous record of 12 days by seven days. Let’s try to beat it (my record) again

Day 1 v3:
Yesterday I went out to lunch with my future co-worker Marilyn. We had become friends during my previous internship at the company I’m about to start at, so we were just catching up with what we’ve been up to.
I had shared with her the stories and issues about my ED. She accepted the idea that my ED was likely a result of porn, but she noted it is also likely a side effect of adderall. She said when she was on adderall in college, her sex drive was near zero. She told me it took a few months off adderall to bounce back to normal.
I am just happy to hear that there are ways to override my ED. I plan to only use adderall for my remaining exams. I can handle work without it.
I plan on continuing to try to abstain or at least reduce my intake of porn overall. I’ve seen positive results come out of this from pre-covid and pre-adderall times.
One day, hopefully by the end of this year, I will be finished with my CPA and be free from adderall. Kicking sidenafil will be soon to follow.

Day 2 v3:
I thought about my previous streak on how I originally avoided a PMO to later graduate to avoiding porn completely mid-streak.
This current streak is the first time I’m completely avoiding obvious porn. This will be a more true number, one that is genuine to flex. I hope it’s a good one.

Day 0 v4:
I don’t think I’ve tried to abstain while I had been studying. It’s been real hard to focus the past few days.
As much as I would like to continue this journey, I think I may have to put things on pause. I need to complete these last two exams within an allotted amount of time. I need a quick and easy vice just to get over all this.
These exams are intense, unlike any other class or exams I have taken. It’s so hard to focus.
NoFap aids focus. I would suggest noFap, since I find that even days I study less on noFap, I score more in exams than on days I study well but relapsed. But it’s your choice. Also, ■■■■ destroys your prefrontal cortex, so it would decrease your self control permanently (reducing your ability to study) and your focus, but it’s your choice.

We are all different.
I know this fact is not very welcome on this forum, but we have sometimes to be smarter than dogmatic.
Under a necessity of high performance and under high pressure, masturbation can be a good way to decrease tension.
Resisting urges takes a lot of energy. Studying for an exam too.
If the issue of passing your exams is greater than the issue of freeing yourself from addiction in the short term, it is a strategic decision to stop fighting one fight to win a bigger one.
The ideal would be to have other more effective means to release the energy blocked because of the tensions created by our urges. But it takes time and training to do it.
Maybe our friend Not_Ricardo doesn’t have that time anymore. He must now find a way to manage his tensions quickly and effectively to stay focused on his exams.
Sometimes we have to step back to better jump the obstacle. Each fight in its time.
For this time, maybe masturbation can help him move forward. Later, he can work on healthier ways to manage his tensions and will no longer have to resort to masturbation to cope with high-stress and high-level situations.
