Though I feel no guilt relative to this method of self gratification, I am a bit disappointed that I failed to resist the urge. If I were a single lad, who was content to stay that way I would highly recommend masturbation. However, given that I’m in a loving monogamous marriage to my honey these last 14 years, I still desire to be available to her for both our sakes. If I’m “spent” by my own hand, then I’m less likely to have as many amorous feelings towards my girl. Therefore, I will strive to only masturbate when away from my wife for more than a week.

How I did it: Looking at folks in the eyes, though uncomfortable at times, was never really the problem. Remembering to do so on the other hand was the primary issue. The routine email reminders ensured I would make an effort to look people in the eyes. Read how I did it…
Missed the 100 day mark by quite a lot. While visiting my hometown, I was drawn to myself on three occasions in the last week beggining on January 20th. I’ll have to modify one of my “43 Things” to account for the applicable temptation. Nevertheless, my countdown starts again for 100 days without auto-gratification tomorrow the 27th of January 2007. Do I feel bad about this? No. However, I should have accounted for hometown affiliations.
Well, if I can go 67 days, I should be able to withstand the urge to please myself via auto-release for at least 100 days. The countdown begins December 21, 2006.
