That\u2019s when I realized I was going entire days without thinking about how I wasn\u2019t masturbating.<br \/>\nI started to notice benefits, like I was being more attentive to my wife. When you\u2019re not masturbating, your wife or significant other is your only chance for an orgasm. So you start to take seduction more seriously. You can\u2019t just go off to your man cave and milk yourself into oblivion.<br \/>\nNot masturbating also helped me stay in the moment. During my heavy masturbation period \u2014 i.e., many times throughout my adult life \u2014 it didn\u2019t take much for my attention to wander. If you talked to me, I might look like I was listening, but in my head I was thinking, \u201cOK, OK, get to the point, buddy. I have a computer full of sweet JPGs and MPGs waiting for me at home, and they\u2019re not going to jerk off to themselves.\u201d<br \/>\nOnce I stopped whacking, that was one less thing taking me out of the moment. I could really be with people and not be distracted by the orgasms I wasn\u2019t having.<br \/>\nWhen you\u2019re not masturbating, the amount of time you save is amazing, and you get back a lot of mental real estate. It makes you more powerful. Or at least that\u2019s how I felt.<br \/>\nWhen I meet a person for the first time, it\u2019s tempting to shake their hand and say, \u201cHi, I haven\u2019t masturbated since Feb. 14, 2005. How long has it been for you? Since this morning?\u201d<br \/>\nIt\u2019s not like my sexuality has just disappeared. I\u2019ve had about half a dozen nocturnal emissions (or \u201cwet dreams\u201d) since I began this experiment, and they have always been a pleasant surprise. If your body needs that release and you\u2019re not providing it, nature has a way of taking care of it for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Post: The tide started to turn for me after about 90 days.
