    15 days forced abstinence.

    I'm holidaying with a friend for 12 days and we're sharing a hotel room. There's absolutely NO way I could wank with him in a bed 2 metres away and probably wouldn't be able to cum anyway if I tried in the shower knowing he was just outside the door. With those 12 days + the three I'll spend on planes that would make 15 by the time I get home.

    Why am I on here in the first place? Because when I'm home I can't get through a day without getting off, and I can't get off without porn. It's gotten the point now where I go to wank at night and suddenly think "Wait a minute, I just did this two hours ago."

    So basically that's just driving home the reality that masturbating with porn is just a soulless activity that I engage in to fill a desperate need to find something more fulfilling and meaningful to do with that 10-120 mins a day.

    15 days of FORCED abstinence should be easy, it's when I get home that I'll probably need advice from this forum to get through the day.

    I hope the experience helps you. Your post also made me laugh and cry. 15 years of living in a "hotel room" environment (or worse) can redefine one's "NO way" sadly.

    Please keep that level of innocence, friend, and continued good luck on your journey.

    Yep, was a great trip, thanks! Finally set foot back in my flat this morning 46 hrs after leaving my hotel room at the beginning of my return journey so feeling absolutely RATSHIT.
    Now comes the hard part. I see I have 16 days on my counter. Only once during my trip did I get a serious urge to wank while my travelling buddy was out, the rest of the time I was fine. Now, arriving home exhausted and wanting to sleep, my first urge is to boot up my mac, connect my HD and have a lengthy session before I hit the sack.
    I've come up to my favourite local cafe now where I'm having a coffee and chatting to the staff to distract myself but am still sitting here with a raging hard-on (I forgot how cute the waiter is, which is why I started coming here every day for coffee in the first place).
    Maybe if I take a sleeping pill here at the cafe I will fall straight to sleep when I get home? Really poor solution I know - replacing porn with drugs really defeats the purpose of "overcoming my addiction".
    I'll post an update tomorrow.
