Not having an orgasm for 1 year or more

[Salingo Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Salingo]

I know this isn't really penis exercise related, but this was the closest I could find to a category suitable for this question so please excuse me for posting this here.

I recently quit watching pornography (2 weeks ago). I have watched/fapped to porn at least 3 times a week, every week, since I was 13/14 years old. I am turning twenty in March.

I also suffer from depression, and from what I understand quitting masturbation will help heal depression because your dopamine levels won't be fluctuating like a roller coaster. I admit I was/am addicted to masturbating, It was what I turned to for escapism after I quit smoking weed/drinking, now that I am not masturbating I feel different, I don't even know how to explain it but I have become more easily agitated I think since quitting I also feel more mature as silly as that sounds.

I was wondering what the benefits would be if I were to quit masturbating for a year or more. Not just quitting porn, but also masturbation. Basically no orgasm for over a year.

Would this affect my personality? My psychological state of mind? My PE gains? Would this be bad for me?

Please let me know what you guys think about this, because I am very serious about this, I am willing to do this for myself and honestly just because I want to see if I can do it and how I will react to this change in my life.

p.s. I haven't masturbated for two weeks, I haven't felt a real urge to do it ever since I quit watching porn.

There's only one way to find out!

I doubt you'll make it though. You're probably going last a few months, get turned on by bewbies, and end up jerking off then or in your sleep to a vivid sex dream. It's a nice idea, but why punish with abstinence yourself because you don't have a life? They make pills for depression dude. You get the right one and you won't feel so upset about masturbating, because you'll be more happy and outgoing by then. I recommend Welbutrin, but that's just me preference.

How often do you exercise? Moderate exercise is amazing fro depression if you haven't tried it already. I'm not sure how no orgasms for a year would effect you; I'd think it'd just make you frustrated to be honest.

I know for a fact I can make it, I am VERY good at resisting things. I am not good at self discipline (working out, doing homework, etc.) but I have always been good at resisting things that haven't been good for me.

I really want to quit my masturbation/porn addiction and this is the only way I will 100% be able to do that.

But as stated in the opening post,

Would this affect my personality? My psychological state of mind? My PE gains? Would this be bad for me?

So far, nothing but "why would you stop?" posts. If the kid wants to stop, he can stop. It's his life. He feels that masturbation is taking to a place he doesn't want to go, so he's giving stopping a go. Good for you dude, for taking a radical step. Shoot, I think it's awesome you're taking any step at all! Most people don't make it there.

In answer to your question, yes it's possible, no there won't be any major side effects because your body has a release valve for that, called a wet dream/nocturnal emission. You'll be all right. There may be a period that's sorta like detoxing, but when you muscle through it, you'll be fine.

One thing I really encourage you do is find something to take up your time and energy with. Find a new hobby that fascinates you. Learn a new sport (I'm seriously thinking about taking up hockey), start collecting old vinyl jazz albums, do something with all this energy that you are doing for you, not to attract others. Do what will make you happy.

Thank you!

I definetly need to replace masturbating/porn with something new.. I just started my next semester at college 4 days ago and one of the classes i'm taking is a Spanish 1 Course, I think I am going to put all my efforts into getting an A in that class even though I failed it miserably in high school. I will put my energy into learning a new language

Also I've been exploring a lot more music lately, it feels good.

I will definitely report back to this forum once I have successfully gone one year without it to let you all know how it went. In the meantime I'll be wearing my extender

If you're depressed go out an run. You'll be surprised at what that shit can do. Even if it's just around the block for the first few days or one mile the first month. I wouldn't punish myself by not masturbating for a year. You're probably moody because you're not used to it. Kinda like when people who drink coffee every day and then just suddenly stop. Masturbation is actually healthy for you, but try to limit it to once or twice a week. If you're having the sexy times every day, then that's even better. Try to go on a run whenever you feel the urge tho. At the most maybe try to go about a month.

Its gona be hard to do pe things with your dick but not bust once and awhile. And yes a year without orgasm is possible. I did it. From fall of 08-fall of 09 I didn't bust. I thought my life would fall apart if I busted. When I finally had a disfunctional ejaculation a year later from porn my cum was brown. And it was also brown the next jizz after that. I guess I needed an oil change!

I allways wonder what brings this stuff on , then again some guys want to be castrated so mheh.
I don't think it is healthy but whatever.

My two cents .
I did something similar years ago .
Just to see what my energy would do .
For me , my sexual energy went through the roof .
People noticed it and I got a lot of attention from it .
It was funny knowing I could get my nut , but allowing myself to remain celibate .
Basking in that wonderful sexual energy was very healing .

It can be done .
You'll be more aware of who you are .
Guess I held my cum for 6 months before I let it go .
A time in my life I'll never forget .
mael out !!!

Second that! It's good for everything. Endorphins are released. That's good stuff, unless you get addicted as I ^^ Training rules!

I rarely get orgasms, if the feeling I get is intense I'll have an orgasm but usually I can cum without having an orgasm
