For a few days, so that when you re introduce it the rush of dopamine is way more intense. I think it's called ascetism or something similar

The nofap thread got me thinking, when I masturbate every day it isn't anything special after a bit, but taking a week long break from it and then doing it makes that last one 10x better than any before it

Also with dieting, when I eat extremely strict everyday, a cheat meal like some ice cream or a chocolate bar tastes absolutely magical, best taste of my life

I also have done this once or twice with MUSIC. I wouldn't listen to any music in the car/at the gym/laying in bed at all for a few days(harder than you think) and then one day when I'd be in a great mood I play some of my favorite songs and I'm in ecstasy because of how beautiful it sounds.

Anyone else do this with things? It's pretty weird now that I type it out lol

Sometimes when I over-listen to an artist, I take some time off so that I can appreciate it again when I go back to them. But beyond that, I don't really abstain from fun things unless they're causing a problem.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
I haven't any sugar really in about 9 months. If I eat or drink anything sweet now. . . well lets just say it can be a euphoric experience or nausea inducing, depending on the amount of sugar.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
I'd say that's me with gym.

Since i'm not the kinda guy who needs to keep up with his weight 24/7 I can be pretty light on my workouts, not to say I don't work hard though. So I don't go everyday.
I'd usually go 3-4 days during the week, then take a break during the weekends. The rest is just soooo good. Plus sleeping in.

I've been bad this week though, only went twice.
