"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It takes 21 days to break a habit: 21 days no masturbation: The 3 week plan w/options

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I was actuallly thinking once every 2 weeks (on sunday, after the most important sarge nights/days). Like I said, I really want to keep it clean
oh, for the matter, I'm on day 4. Deleted all the orn except one movie which I have to burn...It's an instruction video for a girl, and if I get a g/f, she better see it and learn from it

nice job oxide. that's some self-control. :box:Oxide said:
12 days done
(on day 13 right now)
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm half way there! I've noticed I talk more firm to people. For example, at work there is this one part time guy (I'm part time as well) who says what we should do at times, even though we all know what we need to get done. I finaly told him to chill, and that stuff will get done when it gets done. I didn't hear any more about what we needed to do after that. Just normal BS. I dislike talking about work when I'm at work. Just BS about other stuff and time goes by faster.
First day today. 1st option= 27 may.
I've found that I can't even touch my penis... because if I do I start saying "okay, a little won't hurt" and then... who'd a thought it? (for the fiftieth time in a row). The same with porn.
The main thing is not laying in bed all sunday morning doing nothing. If I've got something to do I don't feel the urge.
LIKE STUDYING DAMMIT DX
Ok, first of all, i've been going about it wrong. The point is not to just not climax, the point is NOT TO GIVE YOURSELF PLEASURE. We must associate pleasure = fvcking a woman, not using your hand, this is why we do it.
So if any of you are doing what i was doing, (mastrubating without orgasm) stop it right now.
- when you get hard or horny, DO NOT COME CLOSE TO YOUR PENIS. just dont do it, start doing something else right away.
- DO NOT LOOK AT ANY PORN. I stumbled on a porno vid last night and almost lost it. Just do not look at any of it.
- Know that no matter how good an orgasm might feel, right after it's done you will regret it, and you would have to go back to day 1. ( sucks )
I know this is hard guys, its hard to break the conditioning. But just think about the time you didnt know what masturbation was. I sure had a lot more free time
So just relax, enjoy it, and see if you can beat my record.Good luck.

Day 2. Familiar territory, so it's pretty easy now. I remember my first few day 2s quickly turning into day 1s
Having something to do, and the discipline to stick to it, is key. I think a lot of us use masturbating as a form of procrastination. I certainly do... if there's a piece of work to do and I don't know where to start, my mind will chirp up with "hmmm, big job .... I'll have a quick wank first and come back to it later. Nothing wrong with a bit of pleasure, right?".
Of course that doesn't happen ... it takes a while to find just the right bit of porn ... and then I gotta take my time with it to *really* enjoy it ... and then when I pop, I gotta clean up ... and then I'll be drowsy, no point working like this .... I gotta take a nap ....
AND BANG, another successful procrastination session - I avoid doing work for another day.
The best place to stop this steamroller is AT THE START - by identifying what you're supposed to be doing, and keeping your mind on it. The further you go, the harder it gets to stop. For examples, consider these different places you can stop:
Staying focused on the job you should be doing: pretty easy.
Resisting the urge to start up the porn: still pretty easy.
Viewing porn, resisting the urge to start touching yourself: getting tricky
Once wanking, making yourself stop: difficult
At the peak, stopping yourself coming: damn near impossible!
It gets progressively harder and harder to stop. If you want to stop this taking off, the easiest place is AT THE START, before it picks up momentum.
This momentum can work FOR you as well. Instead of letting the masturbation pick up momentum, make an commitment to concentrate on your work for 10 minutes. (Just get started!) Once you've gotten into your work and have engaged your mind, you won't want to be interrupted. Porn and distractions will slide off you a lot easier. And BANG ... another successful procrastination session put off 'til later
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

onto day 14 tomorrow (but it doesn't really matter so I figured I'd just post it now)
...starting tomorrow or saturday I'll be taking a couple (supposedly) testosterone boosting herbs (all-natural, not pheromones, no way in hell) ...nonetheless, if they even slightly bump my testosterone, it will be hella hard trying to keep up with this goal. (in case you're wondering: fenugreek, maca root, avena sativa, horny goat weed)
as for those tips oxide...
i was doing the masturbate and stop at climax thing for the first 3-4 days, but i stopped because it was stupid. it made my nuts hurt like hell too.
i also stopped watching porn a couple days ago. good point, it really does make a difference to get used to only being aroused by real women.
i think that's my main goal here.
i think the confidence, and other "effects" are just placebos. if i don't get enough sleep i'll feel like **** no matter how many days i've held off on masturbating.
the only real thing i've felt since starting this thing is aggression.
great job to everyone for sticking to this...it's awesome to be doing this with other dedicated peeps.
keep it up y'all.

I'm half way there! I noticed something strange. For some reason I felt like watching this hour long AMV called AMV Hell Zero (for those who dont' know, it's a bunch of anime clips with songs synched together). This one particularly has a lot of "hentai" (animated porn) in it. But I wasn't aroused like I normaly am. Sure, the video is for humor, but with all that sex in it, I'm surpised I didn't get hard. It's like it doesn't effect me now...animated girls...which was half of my pr0n collection. So I'm going to take this as a positive thing.

Going the distance this time
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

hell yeah
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
