Why not try your own experiment? Pass up orgasm for three weeks, and keep a diary of your experiences. Then when you *do* orgasm, keep a diary for the following two weeks. What do you notice?

OK, this surprised me. A woman actually acknowledging a noticeable neurochemical shift after orgasm.

I left his house Sunday morning in a daze. I was physically exhausted, and the inevitable migraine was looming, but the rays of sunlight and
breeze from the pier perpetuated my high.

So it has been 52 days without orgasm for me. However... I just looked at some porn and came (no pun intended!) about as close to having an orgasm as I possibly could without actually getting off. Even though I haven't gotten off, I somehow feel like I have failed and I am ready to just go ahead and masturbate to orgasm. The thought of starting over on my road to recovery is super daunting though.

This monday I set record of going with PMO, which was about 22 days. I've done two weeks several times before but never three weeks. Like I've mentioned in many of my posts it really gets easier and easier and my brain feels more stable and balanced for each time. When I was at my third week I felt really good about myself.
But.. after 22 days I masturbated once, in the shower, by the thoughts of a normal girl. Usually I have used pornography and binged with about three-four session on the same day I have done it. And then started all over again with a two week period without PMO.

I'm on day 9 without PMO and I'm starting to feel more "normal" again. It feels good. I do feel tension when I sleep though, which makes me wake up alot and last night I had a lot of weird, very real-feeling dreams, almost nightmares. I think I have read about others experience the same thing and I have experienced it myself before after about one week without.

I think I’m experiencing hangover after sexual satiety today. Last night’s sex was AMAZING. We had intercourse for the first time in five years. Strictly karezza; slow & soothing & mellow & wonderful. My “plateau” orgasm was so delicious (no ejaculation.) We tapered off and my wife fell asleep, but I was still wide-awake and wanted to go on. Unfortunately I did. With a solid erection still looming, I masturbated until I had a peak orgasm with a really powerful ejaculation. It felt great! Today I feel crappy and my wife seems to have a lot of griping to do.

I'm really confused. When I went for four weeks without orgasm it was HORRIBLE. The first two weeks were fairly easy but after 2 or 3 weeks it was physically painful, nonstop. I thought after two weeks I was supposed to feel better but instead all I feel is tense and horrible. I don't have (or want) a partner right now and so karezza type things are out of the question. I'm just tired of being miserable.

the last time i had orgasm I held back, I can have an orgasm, and not release the dump of what feels like a dose of a great drug. It feels good, but i can still talk and walk and move around. So the husband was in the mood friday, i tried to deflect and stay up, he stayed up, so its against my nature to deny my man of any pleasure. He performs oral, and it took me some time but I had a controlled nice O. I was good. I told him I was afraid to, that I didn’t want that release. As though I had put him up to a challenge, I swear he was after it.

Here is an interesting thought that I read somewhere. Alas, I can't recall the source.
If we accept that our behavior with our wives or sweethearts deteriorates immediately after an orgasm and that this "hangover" lasts at least a week, let's examine how many orgasms we might be advised to have in a year's time.
Suppose the hangover is like taking a week's vacation away from your wife or sweetheart. After all, she is not getting your best during this hangover period.
