Good morning and welcome to the first (formal) post on this blog!
I'm going to start this post by shouting out the communities over at No-Fap.com, and r/No-Fap on Reddit. Without those communities I wouldn't be posting about this beautiful challenge!
So. Today, it's going to be about jacking off.
Well, it's going to be about not jacking off to be exact. You see, I'm a No-Fap enthusiast. For those of you who don't know what No-Fap is, it's a self-improvement challenge where the participant refrains from pornography, masturbation and orgasm (PMO) for an extended period of time.
You may be wondering, why the hell would I want to refrain from touching myself? Is this a religious thing? No, it's not religious. But if you want to involve Jesus in this, you can.
I personally think your Lord and Savior might want to be left out of these kinds of affairs, but that's your call.

We all know that guilty feeling we get after we're done with Rosie Palms and we wonder ,"Why did I do this?" You know when you're just getting finished and you feel like Anakin Skywalker after he killed Samuel L. Jackson.
This is usually me on repeat.

The idea of No-Fap is that longer you abstain from PMO, the less you associate those things with happiness and the less likely you are to want to do them. And as a result you start chasing things that actually make you happy. Things that don't have you writhing on the floor feeling like you just shoved someone's grandma.
And therefore the longer you abstain the more productive a person you become.
The longest I've gone without pulling the proverbial pollo was 118 days.. Before that my longest streak was 50 days. I've made some attempts to start a streak again. To no avail. You see temptation is a fucking beast. And I am a knight with a broken sword. What else does a knight with a broken sword do but go find somewhere secluded and play with his own - you get the idea.
