Also, for people who are serious.
There is a free service called openDNS which has a parental control DNS server. Go to your network connection properties, highlight: internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4), click properties, and manually change your DNS servers to:
208.67.222.123
208.67.220.123
Its pretty amazing how well it works. Haven't stumbled across porn yet. If you want to watch porn again, just set your DNS back to Automatic.
I also deleted all the porn off of my harddrive.

Still don't buy not masturbating as motivation to game women.
I think this is a top down problem, not a bottom up one; I don't believe that changing a lower order behavior will inspire you on a conscious level to get good at game. You need to witness the immense power of game first hand, or suffer from the lack of it in a very compelling way that you see it as a necessary, if not the only, most efficient, way to get what you want from life.
Not masturbating to inspire your game is in itself a form of mental masturbation. It's bordering on arrogant thinking, and is sort of like trying to put a band-aid on a bullet wound. Based on your logic, you might get more out of challenging yourself by masturbating a lot and then forcing yourself to go gaming regardless of how you feel.
Women let their wishy-washy feelings do the deciding. As a man, you need to make a decision and stick with it.
You want to game? Use some will power and force yourself do it.
Set goals. I set my notch count as a goal for 2011, and that gave me something to work towards.

Contrary to what everyone is saying about jerking off depleting your sex drive, my experience is the opposite; the more I cum, the more I want to cum. I try to have as many orgasms as I can. I'll jerk-off and then go pickup a girl, fuck her, kick her out, and then jerk-off again.
Quote:Quote:
It also makes me better at sex because it's good for the prostate. The prostate directly affects your ability to control your orgasms. So, in this way, fapping can actually be good for your game- if you fuck her well, she'll want to come back for more.

And, yeah, if monkey behavior is anything like what our ancestors were like, I do think they were jerking off a lot. Probably just as much or more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sexual_behaviour

Still don't get how abstaining from masturbation will motivate everybody to go out and game. If you set goals, it shouldn't matter how you feel that day. Just do it.

First of all, there are far more benefits to abstaining from masturbation than an increased urge to game.

Abstaining provides a primal itch that cannot be scratched by yourself. Otherwise, it's a conscious mental effort. And our brains would rather we sit and fap in front of a computer than make an effort to talk to girls.
I understand that, with goals set and determination, you could just go out and game. Unfortunately, many of us aren't as mentally determined as you might be soup. I have set approach goals many times and failed. I am ashamed to say I failed on my recent 100 approach goal. I have no excuses for not doing that.
Hilariously, the approaches I did in fact do under that challenge umbrella were strongly influenced by my lack of masturbation.
N=1 man. Try it before you deny it.
