After a few attempts, I want to devote myself more fully to chastity. Longest I've gone is one month, but that was a long time ago, and more recent attempts have ended in failure. I've started again on Thursday, with a three day commitment. And while that seems modest, other attempts haven't even lasted that long. I'm on track to succeed this time, and could use encouragement to to further and longer. Among other things, I *am* intending to cum tomorrow, but would appreciate suggestions was to how to reduce the pleasure of the event, so as I get further in this, I begin to see fewer reasons to want to cum. I essentially want to be kinda tucked out of wanting to cum. I also want to know what other lockers and lockees want from this journal. Are one line entries okay? Right now, I say that I'd forgotten get the first few days for me are periods of extreme horniness. I've basically feeling desperate to cum, sliming my briefs almost continually, and watching extreme porn, which only increases the agony. At the very least, please send your love and support, and words to encourage me as I begin this journey. Thank you!
good luck. Don't worry about how long you can go and put pressure on yourself. Just enjoy the journey. When you feel the need to step off, do. Then get back on again.
Just remember that it takes anything from a couple of days to a fortnight for your hormones to settle down again after an full orgasm, so you may want to schedule some unlock sessions for physical relaxation but not go the whole way. The time is quite variable not only between people but with each individual, be aware of your feelings which will indicate how your hormones are reacting to both the abstinence and orgasming. Once you 'get' what that long term contentment feeling is like from abstaining from orgasm, then you'll know that your goal isn't so much 'how long has it been', but just maintaining that feeling once it's achieved. Think of your feelings rather than the calendar, the "now" rather than the "how long".
[ [ These are both interesting insights, and will probably be helpful as i move forward with this. Once i came out of abstinence i tried using using a faproulette game to direct my orgasms, resulting in alternating full and ruined, three each. By the end of the sixth orgasm, I found i'd lost the desire to cum further, and so decided to drop the game and enter into my next period of chastity, which will be for seven days. i am going to try to stick with this, but will keep in mind your advice, and see if i can adjust my mental attitude to apply it. Thank You!
I can't remember off hand which hormone is which, there is a good thread on the subject in this forum, but easier to remember is that the one released after an orgasm gives you a "downer", and the ones that you get back to a constant high level when you abstain from orgasm are the "happy hormones". Be careful what you wish for, the happy hormones are addictive!
This may be the article you're thinking of: https://web.archive.org/web/20150327054642/http://www.reuniting.info/node/4865 Interesting, and suggests that the true effects aren't until one's gone past the one month marker. Much as i'd like to find that out ( and as tempting as the notion that commitment to chastity means denying orgasm for seriously extended periods), i'm probably going to gradually build to it: one week now, then two, then a month. i might change that if i her to a release point and my body's telling me do just go on and where it takes me.
My body is being terrifyingly predictable. I'm on day two of the seven day regimen, which means that I'm desperately horny. Just the way it works. In light of what we were talking about above, it raises a recurring issue for me: At the end of the seven days, do i cum and pretty much have to start all over, including the torture of day two, or do I push on through and see how far I can go. It's a tension between not completely wanting to give up cumming, but also wanting to achieve more.
