| 30 day Abstinence
Posted: 1/1/2009 11:02:59 PM | Honestly out of complete boredom and probably stupidity i decided to see if i have what it take to abstain for any and all form of sex for the entire month of January, i also watched a movie where a dude did this and went "pfft i can do that easy" then bets where made  I alo figured i can use the excess energy working out getting rid of all the extra calories i filled up on during the holidays
Now for the serious part, Are there any health risks in doing this, my body is not going to stop producing sperm just cause i stop (for the lack of a better word) "spending" it and where will it go if i'm not letting it out? | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 11:12:39 PM | You mean 40 days and 40 nights?
That said, shouldn't be too hard. Don't sleep in your normal place. Take a cold shower. Sleep fully clothed. Don't look at magazines anything that might have a picture of a hot woman in it.
Oh yes, interwebs... :P | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 2:09:14 AM | nothing harmful will come from this... just discomfort I'd assume.
Your body knows how to get the release it needs to say healthy.... I guess the worst thing that could happen is wet dreams. | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 2:09:30 AM | First, I cannot believe with the WWW available to you that you wouldn't have looked up this situation on a reputable medical website or simply typed some sort of descriptive sentence into Google. YIKES
Women get the horrid condition up there that someone described as 'blue bawls' (wrong buddy, it's blue BALLS or vasocongestion . Basically, testicles and the penis are engorged with blood and without the ejaculation taking place with an erection there is a bit of discomfort, and yes, women experience this too so REMEMBER THIS GUYS WHEN YOU FINISH FIRST!!!!!!!

Blue Balls
Do you know the connection between blue balls and sex? Have you ever heard someone ask you, "What are blue balls?" "Blue balls" is a slang term referring to testicular aching that may occur when the blood that fills the vessels in a male's genital area during sexual arousal is not dissipated by orgasm.
When a man becomes sexually excited, the arteries carrying blood to the genital area enlarge, while the veins carrying blood from the genital area are more constricted than in the non-aroused state.
This uneven blood flow causes an increase in volume of blood trapped in the genitals and contributes to the penis becoming erect and the testicles becoming engorged with blood. During this process of vasocongestion the testicles increase in size 25-50 percent.
If the male reaches orgasm and ejaculates, the arteries and veins return to their normal size, the volume of blood in the genitals is reduced and the penis and testicles return to their usual size rather quickly.
If ejaculation does not occur there may be a lingering sensation of heaviness, aching, or discomfort in the testicles due to the continued vasocongestion. This unpleasant feeling has popularly been called blue balls, perhaps because of the bluish tint that appears when blood engorges the vessels in the testicles.
Blue Balls Describes a Temporary, Minor Pain
The condition usually does not last long and the level of pain associated with blue balls is usually minor and can be exaggerated. Most men have been socialized to ejaculate when they get an erection during sexual activity. Failure to ejaculate and to feel orgasm often adds frustration and disappointment to the reality of the physical sensation.
Men who believe that they should ejaculate every time they have an erection are likely to exert pressure on their partner to proceed with sex without taking her feelings into consideration.
Some men find that masturbation is a viable solution and are realizing that ejaculation is not a requirement in every sexual situation. This attitude allows both men and their partners to relax more and to learn that pleasure and meaning can exist without having to reach ejaculation and orgasm during every sexual encounter.
Men are not alone in experiencing the discomfort of unrelieved vasocongestion. Women's genitals also become engorged with blood during sexual arousal and, like their male counterparts, women can experience pelvic heaviness and aching if they do not reach orgasm.

Sex is the best way IMO to burn calories. Even kissing burns calories. Plus a great aerobic benefit (provided one keeps it up and going for at least 30 mins)! So why resort to weights or jogging?
Of course JOffing does not have the same benefits, but only some of the calorie burning - aerobic bens.
That is why they call it "friends with benefits", the benefits include the calories burn and the aerobic part!
So give those up for 30 days or even 3? Why? People must stop believing everything they see in movies!! lol

Have you actually seen this movie?? It's hilarious, well.. the bits that I've seen were anyway.
I bet a BF one time that he couldn't last 28 days... the time between when we were talking and when he'd be coming to see me (long distance relationship).. and he had a two a day habit of self-lovin'. Actually we both agreed to it.. see who could go longer without. I won. He claims to not have experienced any problems with discomfort related to blue balls. The whole thing was actually very funny because we talked daily and I did everything in my power to get him so worked up and horny that he'd lose. He made it just about 21 days... hehehe..
OP.. go for it. Should be a learning experience for you if you pay attention to your body. He found that he became more in touch with his feelings and well.. more, but I'll keep that bit to myself. | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 7:00:53 AM | Jeez, this isn't intense training for the Olympiad, it's abstinence for 30 lousy days. Monks have been managing to do it for years and years. While longterm abstinence proved to turn some to degenerate behavior, I don't think 30 days is long enough.
You'll survive. | |

I have seen said movie 2, on cable, and frankly I stand by the claim that people must not believe what they see in movies. lol
Plus I could never go and have not gone 21 whole days w/o even "self sex". That would be undue punishment, not to mention the stress that would cause! lol Seriously! Why give up the world's most natural stress relief method? | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 7:14:15 AM | Your body will continue to create little soldiers, even if you don't fire them.
If your body decides that you need sex, you'll have what are called 'nighly emissions'. Remember them?
Just think of all the hot water you'll save
Good luck | |

Nick.. you should try it... it's an interesting experience. Neither he nor I were stressed out during this time...
So you've never, not once, ever missed a day of masturbation? Not one single time? I call bullsh*t.

Posted: 1/2/2009 7:33:21 AM | | I'm still trying to figure out why you would even want to go 30 days without some form of sexual release. Saving it isn't going to make it worth more or anything. It's one thing to save it for a partner, but why not just pop one off in the shower or something if you aren't dating or planning on having sexual relations anytime soon? | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 7:36:36 AM | Are you kidding.....
where did you go to school of course you will have permanent harm. I have heard that not masturbating will make you blind, and possibly bring up latent homosexuality. I had a friend try that after a week he had this funny taste in he mouth a few days later he started to drool cum. It is your health.
Come on wtf. it wont hurt a bit but you should go back to school. I would say 30 days of reading sex education material would be more beneficial. | |
