    That's very interesting. I see that it's been 84 days since you PMO'd. Does that also mean that you haven't had an orgasm at all since 12/23/13?? If so that's very impressive. I haven't looked at porn in a 8 days or so but I had sex with my girlfriend yesterday and had an orgasm. I wonder how long I could last on hard mode.

    Yes, the counter shows my actual period without any ejaculation. During that time I watched porn about two times. I had about 3 erotic dreams which caused a kind of half (or quarter) orgasm feel but I managed to refrain from ejaculation using pc muscle and willpower.
    "Luckily" for my retention I broke up with my ex fiance in beginning of february (of course retention was not the reason). Otherwise the retention would require celibacy anyway as I don't think I would be able to refrain from ejaculation during normal sex. My ex fiance usually insisted me to ejaculate when we had sex for unknown reasons. It usually made her orgasm right away ;)
    For men in a relationships who want to practice retention I advise to educate their women about this matter and importance of limiting ejaculations. Unfortunately most women know better than taoist and tantric masters and take it as a bullshit... In the end health and well being as well as spiritual progress is more important than sex.

    Thanks for the link. Great article. I certainly believe retention can bring out the best in you. This is great motivation for me!

    You're going for the record, man :) I wish You (and myself) not having to reset the counter in the near future :)
    I think the first 30-50 days are the toughest, later the will power becomes stronger, but there are always worse days. I noticed for example that after heavy-drinking party night the temptations are stronger and sometimes a slightly depressive mood.

    Yes I was 'tested' around the 35 day mark but it soon passed and was much easier after that. Good to see you doing so well also. Keep going:)
