With no other outlet, how long until you had to?
I’d love to vote but I don’t know what you mean by “master of your domain.”
Had to what? And what “domain”?
It’s a Seinfeld reference. How long could you refrain from masturbating?
Thanks. Had no idea!
I didn’t get this either… I was thinking, “I’ve had my own domain name since 1998! As long as I keep paying, I can have it as long as I want!”
I could refrain for a long time but I’d resent it deeply and it’d probably change my mood and temperament after a while.
It depends what you mean by “had to”. For $10 million? I think I could last six months and make up for lost time afterwards.
Very much depends on the motivation. Given a very strong reason, indefinitely (wet dreams don’t count, do they?)
When I was younger and very religious, ~2 months was my record.
Oh the guilt. THE GUILT. The day I lost my faith, that was my consolation – I never have to feel guilty about doing that again.
When I was young, a few hours
Now, it’s going on 5 years
I voted for 1 week (male). That’s probably the limit. If I was offered a million dollars, I’d just lie like George did.
I assumed that, in the same fantasy world where people get paid a million dollars not to whack off, they have perfected infallible lie detectors or motion sensors or what have you.
Well, I could easily make it at least, oh crap, never mind.
Exactly. Why am I doing this, again?
I’d say two weeks would be the limit.
Let’s say you have a bet with some of your friends and have to pay some money into a pot. Not enough money to ruin you but enough that you would prefer not to part with it.
Anaamika’s post might serve as a guide.
I am shocked that nobody has thought to post some of the Seinfeld episode to help out those who know not what “Master of my Domain” refers.
I think some Dopers couldn’t make it to the end of their post.
If I started the clock the day after I ovulated, I could make it about a month, until the day before my next ovulation, when basically you would have to physically restrain me. And I would probably like that anyway, so even that wouldn’t work.
