How can I overcome this needless, evil desire? I am so proud I've been 17 days sober as of today. The urge and testicular discomfort of earlier today had completely subsided by this evening, so with the "hair trigger" seemingly gone I thought nothing of taking a quick shower. The INSTANT I began washing my privates it became fully aroused and felt ready to explode within seconds. This has been the most powerful wave of sinful lust in 17 days. I stopped immediately before anything else happened. Does this mean I've failed in resisting temptation? No semen escaped, fortunately. I really seemed to winning this battle against sinful urges most of today. Now what all of a sudden, without warning, does my body go from 0 arousal to on the verge of ejaculating within seconds? I've had such a wonderful, productive, spiritual day today. What can I do to keep this monster from rearing its ugly head? It's been such a struggle to resist masturbating for 17 days thus far. I really really don't want to lose the 17 days being sober I've struggled so hard to achive. It's been YEARS since I've been sober for 17 days. I want to build on the positive, Christain spirituality I was projecting for most of the day today. But how? How can I make it to 18 days, 19 days, and beyond to secure a purer heart and spiritual future--overcoming this ejaculatory temptation--so perhaps I can help others who are struggling? Please SOMEONE offer me some guidance to at least resisit ejaculating, better yet any masturbation, which I know has for years reduced my potential in life.
PS What if I start the lose the battle and begin touching myself? Can I save myself as long as I stop cold before any ejaculation has begun? What if some pre-cum escapes?

What are the chances I could be doing any physical damage by going 17 days and counting without any ejaculation? I keep reading that males should ejaculate at least once every 14 days or risk prostate problems, infection, etc.

17 Days Without Ejaculating
PLEASE DON'T GIVE IN no matter how "desperate" you might TEMPORARILY be. I'm blessed/cursed with one of those libidos that is still virtually as powerful as when I was 18, which is over 10 years ago. I've kept hoping the sexual desire would subside at least somewhat with each passing year. So for me it's incredible achieving 17 days without ejaculating as of today! I was much more easily able to exercise my usual 4 miles this morning; it seemed almost effortless. On day 16, last evening, I was afraid of giving in. The desire was getting stronger. So before I risked wasting/losing this wonderful energy, I started swimming laps in the pool. You know what, that really helped cure the annoying arousal. I guess it's true that it you redirect that desire quickly enough, instead of giving in, you can "take care of it" by something as simple as swimming. I was skeptical that this would work, and fully expected the urge to be unbearable by later in day 16. But now it's midway thru day 17 and I'm feeling great, actually! There's some arousal, but it's actually welcome and pleasant. It's not the "I must cum now or else I'll die" trap that we've all fallen for in the past. Some say if you can make it to a certain point, the desire won't be as overwhelming as it was. Maybe I'm at that point. Time will tell.
I think this current 17 days is the furthest I've made it since March of the year I was 14! That month, I made it a full 31 days without any ejaculation. I recall accomplishing a major project installing miles of cable over a 200-acre property that March. Hmmm, wonder if I'd ever gotten that done if not for abstaining? I doubt it.
