The only real time I'd ever consider doing this as a permanent / long term thing is if I was to settle with one girl.

I read an article a year or two ago about this dude who said he hadn't jacked off in fifteen years. The dude was married, and he said it made sex with his wife incredibly intense, and of course the relationship a lot more loving and intimate.

It makes a lot of sense, when you consider the idea that your only source of orgasm is with that one lady.

In the meantime, I do now and then like to abstain all week when I know I have a girl coming around for the weekend. This week being one of those weeks.
