coming up to 3 weeks
definitely out of the flatline period now, today has probably been the worst day since the initial few, then again weekends are always more difficult because there are less things to distract you. I probably should have gone running.
Last night i had the sickest dream i was on a boat full of pirates and we were hunting treasure, Orlando Bloom was the captain. It was awesome |

Close call today...
Can't believe I'm 10 days in... Seems like it was pretty easy to get from day 3 to 10... But I figure there will be just random ass days that come up. |

This is all speculation, but could how 'hard' it seems be in your head?
I can imagine that, if a part of you craves the reward that fapping would bring, it keeps trying to convince the other parts of you that you should fap, and one of the ways it might do that is by convincing you that after 3 weeks it's really super hard and you're going to cave anyway so might as well. A part of you already expects that after 3 weeks it becomes hard. That feeling might be fake. I don't know of any biological reason why it should get harder over time. Biologically, you can basically last as long as your brain has enough sugar for self control (your brain burns energy for self control), which would mean regular exercise and a healthy diet is all it takes.
Most people fail soon because challengeaccepted.jpg is strong in the beginning but a challenge without any clear deadline loses fun factor after a while so the craving easily overpowers it.
That said, it's probably healthy to fap two to three times a week. You can really only have big self control with an equally big motivation to have it, and the reason not to fap at all isn't strong enough imo. And if you really don't fap at all for an extended period of time you still need some other release for both your semen (nocturnal emissions) and your sexuality ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_%28psychology%29 )
During the time I didn't fap for a few years I had 'wet dreams' every month which frankly weren't fun at all. I hate waking up with sticky shit on my bed.
The video correctly warns against brain changes from hyperstimulation, so learn to recognize yourself if you are doing that and then you have a good motivation to back off for a while. |

probably best to wean it gradually (set a schedule, etc, lol) instead of going cold turkey |

this might be true, but for most things it's not, so i have my doubts. |

In most situations I know about where you are tying to pick-up a healthy habit or let go of one that isn't healthy (or long-term behavior change in general) you will have a higher chance of success if you build up to your end goal gradually instead of jumping right up to it. Of course it would be a bit different from one person to the next. |
