Day 8-No complaints
Day 9- Was pretty awesome I went and met up with a close friend for dinner and
drinks. It was great to as my father says “to put eyes” on him, he and I talk almost
daily so it was great to connect in a different way then being on the phone. He
has participated in a challenge similar to this 2 years ago and he went 4 months
celibate… so I keep trying to tell myself if he can do 4 months then surely I can do 30
days. The struggle is real.
Day 10- I woke up having had the most amazing dream about sex!. Wishing it wasn’t
just a dream…
Day 11- What happened to last weeks enlightenment? I feel irritable, reckless
and punished. I left my phone in my friends car and won’t be able to get it until
tomorrow. I need to phone a friend and at least air out my frustration out. Thinking
about sex….

Day 12- was tough….

Day 13- Equally tough as day 12. Today I realized how much this challenge has affected me emotionally. I’ve probably gotten into it on some level (big or small) with just about everybody close to me. I’ve been a not so nice person, walking the line of a full on $&*#@. Day 14 I have been stressed because I realize that my several project and plans I have for my future have changed dramatically and now I have to establish the back-up plan. Thought about again falling off the challenge but decided to move onward.

Day 14- I feel indifferent. I am still somewhat emotional but feel a little bit more physically and mentally aligned compared to earlier this week. Today was pretty awesome, I got a lot done and left the day exhausted.

Day 15- I’m cool. No struggle.

Day 16- Still cool. Back to normal.

Day 17-Feeling normal. No woes

Day 14- I'm too sore to be thinking about sex Epsom salt bath is all that's on my mind. but at night before I went to bed was tough. restless night temptation was trying to get me.
Day 15- I'm very irritable today, starting to feel like I'm punishing myself by not getting the relief I'm used too. I'm about ready to quit!!
Day 16- I'm back focused feeling good and ready to get through the next 2 weeks.
Day 17- I was extremely busy with work no problems.
Day 18- Feeling real good getting ready for my fantasy draft I been researching all day

Heads and Tails 2 (The Chase)

I believe everything began back in the day when we were kids. The girls would be outside playing jump rope, hop scotch and hula hooping. The boys meanwhile, being knuckle heads were trying to show off in front of the girls. There was a game we all liked to play called Hide Go Seek. In this game somebody had to be (IT). (IT) would close his/her eyes and count to 10 while everyone else would hide. The objective is to make it safe to base before being tagged. If you are tagged you are (IT) in the next round. Well somehow, someone came up with a twist to this game called Hide Go Get Em. same concept, but you needed girls in order to play this version of the game. All the boys would count while the girls went to hide. Whatever girl was caught that boy got free dry humps with clothes on from behind. The girls had several boys trying to catch them, so they could actually get dry humped multiple times before she reached base. I know sounds terrible right.....LOL

Girls knew then that we liked tail and their parents didn't make it any better when they would say "get your fast tail in this house and leave them nappy headed boys alone." Women were programmed at an early age that all boys are trying to get the special prize between her legs. Men we are hunters that stay on the prowl looking for an opening to attack. We holler at women no matter the time nor place, just give us an opportunity: Grocery Store, Gas Station, Bus Stop, Social Security Office, Mall, Club etc. In most cases we only going to the club and other events to see what women are going to be there and who we can catch that night.

Fellas remember a man is always trying to get at your girl or your wife. This includes some of your homeboys who will try their hand if your woman lets him. If your homeboy can get at your woman she never was yours in the first place. You can't be mad at your homeboy he only displaying his manly instinct to seek, conquer and destroy. It is your woman's obligation to check that shit on site and inform you about your foul a## homeboy. A woman can never tell me she went out and not one man tried to holler. Fellas if your woman ever tells you this sh#t, she is a d### lie. How dare you insult my intelligence by not being real about something I already know. Women get what us men call d##k offers everyday. All men aren't being nice to you just for the sake of being nice.. Men rarely get offers and if we do it must of been our lucky day. Women love to be chased don't get it twisted, sometimes its just knowing that she still got it. Men love to chase tail, its about the thrill of the kill. DOGS VS CATS WE LOVE THIS GAME!

Celibacy 7 Whole Days

This first week was a cake walk for the most part. I mean most people can at least go a week without sex. I had my moments of temptation, but I was able to overcome by working out and staying busy.  I am learning alot about myself and others participating in the challenge. Im focused and feeling extremely motivated about the weeks ahead.

Day 3

Wednesday was not bad, I was too busy to think about sex anyway

Day 4 there was no temptation today but then again I was too tired to do anything, anyway.
Day 5 This was by far the hardest day yet. I almost cracked under pressure but I kept myself busy and I got through it
Day 6 I kept my self busy and focused on other things today. I can really feel the urge for sex starting to build. I have my routine worked out so I can focus on the challenge.
Day 7 Today was a challenge. It took some discipline to get through today, but I got through it without cracking under pressure. I'm proud of myself

Day 4- All week I’ve been running around trying to get my long to do list completely and I was getting really overwhelmed. I think it took the wisdom of my co-worker to really get me to calm down and realize that I can and should take my time and not get stressed. I eventually relaxed my scheduled and took the time and had dinner with a friend and kind of catch up with my thoughts. I think I was so consumed with my business and getting my household in order that I did not realize that I hadn’t taken the time to really deal with thoughts and emotions for the challenge. Throughout the week I would have short, random and intense moments of frustration but quickly disregarded the thought and focused on the new. As I was driving home from dinner my thought process has shifted somewhat I think a lot of the anguish and concern for the 30 day challenge has settled and is now minimal. I can say now that I am proud to be taking part in the challenge and I have noticed that I feel more aligned spiritually.

Day 5- I went to work. Got off early. Found an amazing dress. Met up with a friend and went thrifting. Made an agreement with a friend following my 30 day challenge… Eat Dinner. Spoke with a friend while heading and reflected on the further gap developing spiritually in our friendship. Disappointed. Arrived Home. Took a shower. Went to bed super early- exhausted. Thoughts of any sexual need or want was minimal.

Day 6- Crazy, stupid and at times lovely.

Day 7- Emotional…. super emotional but needed. I woke up this morning super emotional a lot of things changed for me yesterday and today I dealt with the aftermath. Over the past 2 days God has answered a lot of questions and cleared out a lot of things that were troubling me. It’s crazy. What started as a low morning ended with a moment of grace. I think challenges like this allow you to faithfully hand over an aspect of your life with no idea or expectation of what you’ll get back in return. I can say that just within the last week that my life has shifted around more than it has in the last year. My way of thinking about the direction of my life as well as my relationships have all seemed to shift in one direction or the other. I’m going to end this entry with “God I get it.”

The week has been smooth thus far I've been keeping my routine of work, gym, and of course being a Father. Just keeping the perspective of preservation with this challenge has really opened up a new mindset seriously. It feels great man knowing that pressure isn't there to be a "MAN" from the standpoint of what most women think of us I'm looking forward to finishing this challenge strong and continuing even after wards!

Celibacy (The First 48)

 

To prepare for this challenge all participants including myself are required to exercise daily, choose a novel to read and incorporate a project that each person wants to complete by the 30 day deadline.

 

Let's check out how everyone is doing thus far fighting the sexual temptations in the.............

FIRST 48

 

 

First day was easy I worked 12 hrs so I wasn't even thinking about it...I was tired as hell. I know it will get harder tho especially for me cause she hardly ever wear clothes when we at home....smdh lol

Mandell B.

Today was easy, there was no real temptation. I need to figure out a work out plan, because the ps3 will not get me through this alone. First day done on to the next one.

Day 2 was good too. The urge has not set in yet. There was a little temptation but not enough to distract me.

Cory S.

Day 1 was extremely easy, I had no temptation and I began my workout of 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups. I'm preparing now for tougher days ahead.

Day 2 I did encounter some tempting thoughts today, but I was able to fight it off as I entered the gym and began transferring energy into my workout. I had another tempting thought while watching television and I realize even more now, how things we watch on television has such a impact and influence on our minds. So I will be paying attention to what I'm watching during this journey because sex sales and its everywhere!

Rashaan M.

Day 1 of the 30 day challenge was cool. The thought if slipping up really hasn't crossed my mind but I'm sure this will be a long journey.

Day 2
Now today is a whole different story. I'm like a kid whose mother says you cant do something and you wanna do it to be rebellious! Now today is my birthday and I cant even do nothing. No bday sex! WTH! My partner is cruel to even schedule this during my birthday. All these offers have come across my phone and I cant even respond. Smdh. Somebody is going to get it when these 30 days are up!!
James M.

Day 1 of the 30 day struggle...
I would like to first start of saying that I fully recognize that I need to change my mindset because I have an attitude. Although the larger part of my is happy to take on the challenge of being celibate for 30 days there is still a part of me that doesn't like the idea of giving up something that brings me joy and happiness. Part of the challenge we have been advised to read a book (still need to find a book), work on a personal project (need to figure that out too) and exercise. I did yoga today and definitely helped to center me and ease away most of my tension. I am sincerely interested in what this challenge will be bring about and what new I will learn about myself.

Day 2 has come and gone and I think my attitude has adjusted to indifferent. Today was a super busy day and my thoughts of the challenge were far less infrequent then they were yesterday. I had 2 friends tell me that they thought of me and my challenge throughout the evening, 1 considered taking on the challenge. I do think it's pretty cool that the dialogue has already begun and we are only on day 2. I think the rest of the week I should be okay as long as I keep busy. Um I need to still find a book to read and I have decided the relaunch of my Ebay store will be my special project. I ended the evening with a friend sending me a picture that was meant to throw me off my 30 day challenge (I'm not going to go into details of the picture) and although i found myself staring at the picture longer then I should have I remain strong and focused and ready for day 3
Whitney R.

I can honestly say I appreciate you bringing this challenge to the table sir as a man we always are faced with temptation from women on every front at the store, on our jobs, even at church I've always desired to implement this activity in my life being a single man now. These first 48 hours have been refreshing having a mindset that I'm keeping it clean and everything in between!

Men Celibate 30 Day Challenge

Fact or Myth? A man thinks about sex on average every 7 seconds. This is a myth, there is no substantial evidence from researchers that support this theory. I do however, believe that sex crosses a man's mind several times a day. How often do women think about sex? I believe women think about sex just as much as men, but women place more value on the emotional connection. Some men & women just like the act of having sex. These are the people that are obsessed and fascinated with seeing themselves penetrating a women or in a women's case being penetrated. Others actually enjoy the fulfillment of feeling relieved after having sex. Its also used to heighten the intimacy in a relationship, relieve stress or it can bring the souls of people closer together.

I will say when it comes to holding out without having sex, women are much stronger than men. My only concern is when women start feeling like they don't need a man to be satisfied sexually. Women can go months without having sexual intercourse with a man. I understand you have toys, dildos, strap-ons etc, but its nothing like the real thing. I'm starting to feel that us men are under appreciated by women. We don't ask for much: feed us, f##k us, give us head frequently and hand us the remote to the television. I cannot speak for every man, but I don't like asking for head or sex. I like for a woman to just know that's a man's need and offer it. You never have to ask men do we want it, just make it available and accessible.

Women come up with all kinds of reasons why they don't want to have sex. I'm sleepy, my head hurt, my stomach hurt, I'm not in the mood, I don't feel good. The only acceptable reasons are a medical condition and her period, but pay attention to the cycle cause they will use that s##t on you too. If a woman is pissed off at you, its not even a conversation if you will be getting some. She will just get in the bed with a long sleeve shirt and jogging pants. We know then not to ask or try because its not a chance in hell you will get some tonight. Men, women want us to accept this, but I say enough is enough, their p---y is no more important than our d--k. (REAL TALK)

• Its time to regain the power that women have stripped from us.
• Its time to remind women that they need us just as much as we need them.
• Its time for women to show better appreciation for the good hardworking men
• Its time for women to recognize the significant role we play in conceiving a child
• Its time for women to understand the pressure of just being a man and facing the world everyday is stressful.

I'm challenging all my men to stand up an join me in the Men Celibate 30 Day Challenge
