Three Days

[fuzzydunlop]

Maybe some men view horniness as an itch that needs to be scratched, but I love the extra energy I get when I abstain from having an orgasm for more than a few days. My wife is sometimes "in" to this, but it is never anything that is really forced or enforced. Unfortunately, I am also an insomniac with a bit of night time anxiety, and I use the wank before bed as a way of cutting the stress and rebooting my brain. Often times while my wife pretends to be a sleep. Doing that leaves me feeling a bit flat in the long run. I have been on vacation for the last several days, and this is the first time since late winter that I have gone more than a day or two without relying on this nightime ritual. Yes, I am a weak, weak man. But I am glad to say I am feeling a little more spunk today. Maybe I can find a little rythym.

What's an average time the guys out there go without? In the winter, I had a few periods out there where I went 7-10 days. Right now, with a lot of stress, I am surprised I have finally hit a three day stretch.

Well, as of today I have been orgasm free for 37 days, without being locked in any chastity device. My wife is more interested than yours and is dutifully working to make the 37 days seem like 37,000 through endless teasing and denial. Before we started this, I was much like you... having a wank (or two) before bead to release the stress from the day so that I could sleep. Now I am running on less sleep, but I have WAY more energy.

I am hoping that I will get an orgasm when (or if) my new Steelworxx Steelheart arrives. It was supposed to be here in 4-5 weeks, but now it is looking more like 6-7 weeks before I get it... ARGH!!

The worst part of all of this? I AM LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT!
(except the annoyance at Steelworxx for not crafting/shipping in a timely fashion...)

A wank before bed to help one settle…. You bring up an interesting point. I was also very much guilty of that as well. I hadn't thought about it until i read your post, but since I've been (voluntarily) in chastity since early April, I've also noticed that my "night owl" tendencies have become more pronounced. Then add to the equation the nightly reminder "nocturnal wood" to go visit the head, and I guess I shouldn't wonder why I'm a little draggy as of late. Also, what's also kicking my preverbal butt, is the sad fact that back in mid April, I twisted my knee, tearing my MCL. Was just told by the specialist two days ago that I could remove my brace; but I haven't exercised (ran or cycled) since the injury. Need to get the bike set up on the trainer and go to town.

Life getting in the way can throw everything off balance. I seriously didn't want to do the wank before sleep thing last night, but caved after 5 or so days. The part I like least is trying to get myself in the mood when I am tired so that I can reset my stream of consiousness, rather than just reacting to a higher sex drive. I would really like to see if I can go 7-10 days or so, because that seems to coincide with other good habits (diet, exercise, etc.) I am also not very good at this when I am distant from my spouse, and I have to say that I nice vacation helped on that end.
