By sharing this post, you agree to be in on the contest. Once you have succumbed to your natural desires, you simply make a comment in the post saying "I'm out."
I am taking this seriously, and I aim to win. If you are somebody who already never succumbs to such natural desires, then you need not apply.
It is widely said that there are benefits to not succumbing. I'm interested to see if this is the case.
If you are not sure what "the contest" means, don't ask for clarifying questions, this contest clearly is not for you.
Good luck to all of you brave souls who participate.

Still in. Started absentmindedly opening porn tabs this morning until I saw a silverfish crawling across my bed out of the corner of my eye. Got distracted by my kill mission, and now I'm focused again.
I don't see many silverfish where I am. They're harmless though, right? Why kill it?
I despise them. If you want a good reason to kill them: they eat books. I kill them because I have a policy against organisms occupying my bed uninvited.
Silverfish are sooo disgusting. Good god! kill it twice blackfox026
Still in. Fortunately got to relieve myself with a partner last night but now I may have to go it alone for the rest of the weekend. Wish me luck.
Fact: My original comment was actually a joke, but when I saw the amount of support it got, I sealed the deal a couple of hours later. Thanks guys, it's been a pleasure working with you!
I've been in for like...4 weeks already. I was telling tng yesterday, the only thing that can make me out is a combination of boredom, a hangover, and the daily show on TV.
Ha, is that a reference to Anthony Weiner twitter dick pic scandal?and the daily show on TV
No. Literally I have a weird thing where whenever I'm bored and/or hungover I watch the Daily Show and one thing leads to another. I'm really fucking weird.
Not sure if this list is still being maintained, but I was out a couple days ago.
Still in, though I was a bit tempted this morning. Twelve days in and it's been relatively smooth sailing besides that.
Damn, I'm out. Didn't even make it to the hangover--two thirds a fifth of vodka and a four beers did me in. Wasn't taking it too seriously--maybe I'll try again on my own if I can weather today's hangover.
This has been harder than I imagined. I actually would've been fine temptation wise if I didn't think about so much after reading the post. I still think this is fucking hilarious.
Nice! Thanks for compiling this. I remain steadfast.
Want To Cut Your Risk Of Prostate Cancer? Masturbate Five Times A Week / Queerty. Before embarking on this foolishness, read this article! I was going to make it a separate post, but thought better of it. Overall, I think hubski standards of decency should be "firmed" up.
Posted 4 hours ago and I remain the master of my domain.
Yeah, sure why not. A break would probably be a good thing. "Yeah, so I'm in this challenge...and I can't, you know, do me or I lose. The good news is that you can still do me, and me is currently at a premium." Post-lunch creepy pick-up lines that I'm amused by for $500.
insomniasexx and I are going to make you use this on a rando in Boston. It's on.
I'm not sure if that's an incentive for me to lose by then or not.
Delta, sorry to hear about your arm now. Hope you're doing okay, that really sucks. What happened?
I was riding a pennyboard down a hill and made a gradual 90 degree turn into my cul-de-sac. As I was just completing the turn, my left front wheel slipped onto an uneven piece of the road and down I went. Displaced radius, just below the wrist. Thanks for your thoughts.
I've broken my wrist skateboarding as well. Got some hardware put in... that was fun. Know what I was doing? I wasn't 270 bluntsliding a staircase railing or something. Just riding fakie. God bless you for not riding a longboard, that shit is cheating. May you mend well, brother! :)
I've got a weeks head start on you boys and girls. It's on! EDIT: I should add my record is 80 days. So that's potentially what y'all are looking at here.
Holy crap. I'll not let you intimidate me though, anything could happen.
I'm interested to see the effects. I feel like descensitization is likely a very real thing as a result of too much, you know... self pleasuring.
I absolutely believe that's a thing. I did hear that getting away from porn and not masturbating for a while is good to kind of "reset" things both mentally and physically, as some people have found that their tastes get more exotic with more exposure to porn. I guess I really do just have a particularly filthy mind though :\
I agree with you two. Not even talking about porn specifically, but there's so much of a good thing, and then there's too much. It can desentize one. I was in a relationship once where I preferred to "tango solo" over actually, you know..engage...that was pretty bad and I think a result of indulging too much. God this is a weird conversation though, I'm refraining from more detail because I don't want my hubski to get too weird.
That way, it will not get "weird."I'm refraining from more detail because I don't want my hubski to get too weird.
The reason that that Seinfeld episode works so well and is literally, in my opinion a masterpiece is because they never actually use the "word." I was hoping we could have this contest without getting too graphic, without sharing too much but simply with the rules I posted.
I'm confused, are you or aren't you participating? Anyone that reads this, if you want to participate use the share button as the indication. Commenting in this thread does not indicate participation
I have refrained from sharing as I'm not committing yet. I am, however, commiserating with you guys about how it's a good idea to sometimes take a break from that activity. I'm just not sure if it's an idea I "need" to partake in. I literally just bought myself some fun accessories after the break-up 3 weeks ago. And you want me to give them up!?! :)
I generally buy mine online through Amazon, and Amazon appears to have a universal return policy. I just checked and I could return it (if I wanted). I would hope that they would not resell it. However I have heard a horror story about someone ordering an accessory online, getting it, and being able to tell that it was used. As for a warranty, I can't recall and I think I've disposed of the box and any warranty that would have come with it. It probably depends on the item. The Hitachi Magic Wand which is pretty high end, expensive, nice, etc comes with a 1 year warranty. It probably depends on the maker and vendor and such.
'M' Is for May and Masturbation Month Who knew? tng clearly picked the wrong month for his contest.
I did this contest once with two friends of mine as a New Year's resolution slash bet. Each of us put in twenty bucks. The contest itself was flawed because one could easily lie and collect the pot. That may have happened, in fact, because I was 16, same as my friend, and the other party was early 20's -- meaning he had more self-control and wisdom. Personally, I lasted 27 days, and that was as a teenager. At that point, it was a kinky touch activated fire hose. I admitted it to my colleague, and he said he failed within the first week. I 'came' in second place. But now, having aged and matured, being filled with mightier will, being now in my prime, and having no 'main squeeze' to escape the neurotic, nail-biting happiness that will no doubt accompany such an endeavor, such an enterprise, I'm in. (Sorry for the luscious detail, but this is the internet, so what can you expect?)
My sister, a meditator of a particularly exotic form, was once very excited. She announced at a family dinner that she can finally go to a 30-day retreat. She had previously been disallowed because participants could only go if they were married or had been celibate for one year. I said, "Isn't that the same thing?" So all I'm saying is that just because tng is married, it doesn't make it any easier. Especially with a recently born kid and another young'un. So _refugee_, he's at no advantage.
He isn't, but as of my last relationship I instated a minimum requirement for this kind of activity and I think I'm going to keep it. I mean, both parties agreed to the requirement and if there were extenuating circumstances (such as week-long vacations) the requirement was waived, but after a summer of sporadic activity, I decided I wanted to know with certainty that I was going to get a certain amount. And I do want to get laid a certain amount. So I think it's going to be an expectation I set with partners going forward. Of course long term relationships - especially with kids - those things waver and may not take as much priority - but I'm not there :)
Oh come on, all the more reason to challenge yourself.
I'm still in........ How to Win The Contest: Don't have a working vibrator / shower head (for guys - go break your hand or something) Have a partner or two Be so busy and exhausted that you would rather sleep / read / Hubski when you have spare time.
My list should be up to date with who is in and out.
The thought of all these hubskiers going out today is making it hard...mmmmm. :P Just kidding. I'm sunburned and disappointed and sitting on the couch with my mother. There's no chance until I get home Monday and Monday I'll have my men back.
Wow, I actually had porn open in another tab when I saw this. In.
Hmmm. If not all sexual acts excluded I think I could do alright here. I'm in. Also.. You're fucking hilarious thenewgreen.
Could we extend this to all sexual acts? Seems unfair that it wouldn't extend to sex. EDIT: This may have just been a ploy to keep thenewgreen from getting laid...we all need our fair share.
If the point is to research the benefits of not succumbing, then sex will give you the same physical things if not more. There's no point if sex doesn't count as succumbing. With sex allowed it has nothing to do with this statement: And everything to do with the video (a friendly game).It is widely said that there are benefits to not succumbing. I'm interested to see if this is the case.
