Problem:
Things with this one girl aren't going as fast as I would like to. Not going bad, but not going great either. Just going slow. I also tend to have shit luck.

Research and Background Information:
This thread -Talks about a possible improvement of luck a day after not masturbating.

Hypothesis:
Hmmm... I have no idea what to think really. There seems like there are some points for both sides.

For it changing luck we have:

Days when I didn't jerk I would be smooth as shit with the ladies, other days not so much. I came up with this pseudo-biological reason for it: when you don't jerk it, your body makes more testosterone/pheromones that let girls know (subconsciously or something) "this guy isn't getting any - he's available" and when you DO jerk it you don't release them, so they think you aren't.

My hypothesis is that if you masturbate more than once a week, women can sense it. And they are not impressed.

hahahaha masturbation blog! well, If you want to be competitive in SC 2 don't masturbate too much since it relaxes you're sense when you play and I think it kills a little bit brain cell (im not quite sure)

but with bad luck i dunno, it's not like that you know..

ejaculation carries a rather high energy cost, the stuff that comes out is actually really resource rich and not easy to replace. this explains why your brain makes you sleepy as hell and tired immediately after sex

not a stretch to say you could be experiencing some slight consequence the next day - like most other superstitions there are some plausible elements to this!

well i masturbated right before a girl came over today and she seemed a little more distant than usual... hmmmmm


Now for the other side:

the human brain is very much wired to see patterns where none actually exist. Luck is also something so relative and situational that no mere single event in your life is going to impact the greater flow of things(unless of course it's a biggy like killin some dude or something)

But really, it's just your brain seeing things that aren't real.


My opinion is that it will work actually. I've noticed some weird patterns, but I've never really paid this much attention to it.

Procedure:
Well, I'm probably going to see this girl Tues/Wed/Thurs this week at a tennis drill. Which leaves seeing her Monday a pretty luck event. Therefore, I'll construct my jacking off schedule like this:

Today (Sunday): No
Monday: Yes
Tuesday: No
Wednesday: Yes
Thursday: No

This will leave monday and friday open to some possible good luck to see this girl. In respect for her privacy, I won't post on anything about how she behaves, but the flow of the day in general.

Data Table:
Monday:
6:20AM
Well I jacked off early this morning just to keep things consistent. And because the stupid magpies wouldn't shut the fuck up. The magpies are a little uncommon, but I wouldn't think too much of it as bad luck. Those things are loud and annoying. I've been thinking about what really would change after you jack off. I'm pretty convinced that the chemical imbalance wouldn't change that much.

However, I really think it has a lot more psychological effects than I thought before. You basically just made your mind think that you had sex with a girl. So chances are that you're going to act different around other people, and then they might act differently around you.

8:30AM
We're out of milk. I heard the milkman drive up our driveway last night but he didn't drop off any milk...

6:00PM
I figured out a simple test for luck. I will flip a coin for a Bo3. If heads wins, I keep the coin. If tails wins, I have to get rid of a coin. Today tails 3:0'd heads. Bye bye quarter. Keep in mind, if my hypothesis is correct, today should have good luck because I didn't masturbate yesterday. This makes me think that if there is some sort of luck element to it, it happens right after you masturbate.

I've been thinking a lot about the whole psychological effects of masturbation. Honestly, I only think that you would have negative effects if you weren't fully aware that you were doing it. I'm not saying that people do it unconsciously, but they do it blindly out of habit, or they don't truly realize that its not real. By doing this experiment, I'm doing it controlled, therefore these results will not show any psychological effect. I'm realizing that I'm masturbating and I understand the reasons why I should and should not do it.

The only real reasons that I can think of you wanting to masturbate is that you can prevent wet dreams, which suck, and it could possibly keep a hormone balance and flow.

Also, there's the point of the gametes being wasted. I honestly think this wouldn't affect karma. Its not like your sperm is any happier in your testicles than it is in your sewer. I heard somewhere that the average man ejaculates 2 million sperm. Think of how many times you've masturbated. That's a fuckton of sperm. There's no way that a guy is going to give use to more than fifty sperm in his lifetime to fertilize egg cells. And eventually you're probably going to get a wet dream so you're guaranteed to waste 40,000x sperm in that one night than you'll ever effectively use in your life.

11:20PM
I was going to leave this out but it turned out that it might have changed some things. It was late at night and I was watching GGPlay vs Stork on Andromeda SPL '08, so I usually never stay up this late. I was on facebook and I was chatting with another girl for a while now. She posted some new pictures that she looked really good in. And then it was weird: I just started coming up with all these reasons that I should masturbate, and I eventually did, and I thought of this girl the entire time.

Tuesday:
8:30AM
Woke up, at first started feeling like a good day. Maybe what I did last night was okay. I'm really excited to see the girl that I originally talked about at tennis, so I cleaned up really good and did my hair. I'm beginning to think that its more of an immediate karma effect than the day after.

9:30AM
I learned that I won't be seeing her in any organized way for a while. Shit. No tues/wed/thurs that I was talking about. I have no idea what to do now, should I ask her out on a date or something lame over facebook? Do I ask for her number? Shit.

11:30AM
Got back from tennis, had a pretty shitty time there. Just nothing went right. Thank god it only felt like 15 minutes. I'm starting to think that maybe its a good thing that I won't see her outside of tennis because that would make more natural to want to hang out with her. I have no idea what to think of this as good or bad. This really is one of the few things that I'd really put in the 'luck' category because there's nothing that I did to directly change anything to make her not go, she just got a job working at another tennis drill.

Thursday:
Friday:

Wouldn't you have to take her personal life, without you, into account. Also allergies, colds, menstruation cycle etc. Are you just one of Skinner's pigeons?

First, that'll be covered in the data part. Sorry for not specifying that.
I forgot to add the hypothesis, but I added it in a couple hours ago, perhaps you are referring to that?
I have no idea what you mean by abstract.
This isn't about a simple guy/girl, I'm measuring my luck in general for the situation.

As stated earlier, I did happen to mention the situation with the girl as the main part, but I'll be judging my luck in general.

I didn't know about the skinner's pidgeons until I just looked it up. Interesting experiment by the way. For now, I'm just collecting data, so it won't affect me behaviorally, theoretically speaking. I'm really trying to avoid the schrodinger effect, so that's why I'm just measuring things that I really can't control.

If you masturbate 3 days in a row then give her a flower Aeris actually comes back to life in disc 3

I do heartily support this research project though, and am eager to see the results.

It's better to have few bullets and have a slow duel than to spray and pray all of them in a few seconds.

Science is a systematic enterprise of gathering knowledge about the world. I used the scientific method to derive an experiment and I am testing out my hypothesis.

This is not remotely scientific. This is directly scientific.

Your experiment is not designed very well. One big factor is a possible placebo effect. You need to do at least a double blind to get data that is usable. I also wonder about timing windows. One day on one day off? You wouldn't be able to know if the effects of not jerking off reach some sort of critical mass at day 2 of not jerking off. Another thing is your test for luck is pretty bad. Anyway, have fun.
