Disappointed after reintroducing solo time

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience to me? Or am I an outlier?

I started using Mojo 40+ days ago. 22 days in I set myself a challenge of no porn , no masturbation and only one hour of social media a day (I even unfollowed all the thirst traps, onlyfans models etc to filter out as much noise as possible) for at least 14 days.

The initial goal was to hit 14 days and review how my body was responding, was morning wood and spontaneous hard-on coming back. Well, they didn’t so I continued the challenge. Still monitoring my erections. Before I hit day 22 I managed to get morning wood three times, and two spontaneous erections. All of which were weak. I also didn’t see much in desire or sexual thoughts in that time.

So I decided to move my goal post to take off some pressure worrying about getting spontaneously hard. Instead I focused on my mental and emotional state, waiting until I felt ready.

So this afternoon I felt ready to reintroduce masturbation and I’m still not using porn. I’m still only using social media for an hour and kept clear of the thirst traps.

Anyway, I took my time with the solo play, feeling nervous at first, but enjoyed the build up and new strokes and sensations. Well I hit climax and to be honest I was left feeling disappointed with how it felt. It just didn’t seem worth it, like it wasn’t a big orgasm, more like a release.

Has that happened to anyone else? Or am I just an outlier? Should I go back to the ban of no masturbation as I was planning on doing it just once a week (maximum)?

Any help, information or your own experiences would be greatly appreciated guys. I’m feeling rather let down by this experience so far and my desire/labido is still none existent and this solo time felt like a waste of time and effort.

Go back to the ban

I understand your logic and motivation but I think abstaining from or severely limiting masturbation is a myth, to be honest. Backed up by evidence on here. Masturbating mindfully more often keeps the libido up.

That was just one orgasm and you had a lot going on in your head, so don’t draw too many conclusions from it. I’ve had experience like that, but I don’t think it has to do with your wank ban, just happens sometimes. I don’t think the two are related.

You should orgasm regularly, like 3-4 times a week. It is reduces risk of prostate cancer and improves sperm quality. But I invite you to fact check this.

Also, obviously you will have a decline in libido if you never engage in sexual thoughts for a long time. Porn is not a problem, if not used excessively, at least for me.

Nofap is crap and only makes sense when you are in a relationship where you can fuck regularly.

Researching I found out that masturbation isn’t bad at all.

You made a real effort and it sounds like the result was a letdown, but that doesn’t mean it was a failure. You exercised a lot of self-control and you need to give yourself credit for that. It’s valuable!

You might be so focused on your physical response that you’re losing the joy. Try to let up on the self-judgement and just let go.

Just an update guys.

Since I posted this, I’ve learnt a lot with control and I’ve removed the pressure of the finish and now focus on the pleasure of the build up.

The last couple of times have been rather successful in the way I managed to use breathwork and self control to make the build up last longer. I’m not taking ages, just a bit longer, and the climaxes are feeling a lot better.
