I started off as far back as 2000 abstaining from MB now and again, with no particular goal of having a WD. I remember learning in sex education that some people get WDs as they go through puberty. I never had one and didn't think about WDs at all. I had no desire to have one since the subject of WDs didn't enter my thoughts. I had no rational or faith based reason to abstain from MB, I had an intuitive desire to stop for a while. And then I'd MB again if I felt like it, the goal of WDs wasn't in my mind. What I've learnt/remembered is intuition comes before, and is important, unlike faith and reason. I would abstain for long periods and the longest was for more than one year. I'm on another period now. I don't plan to MB in the foreseeable future, or ever again, however in one or two year's time my intuition may guide me to MB again; I'll follow my soul's desire.
My first WD (that I can remember) in about 2007 (or 2006 - I can't remember exactly) came as a surprise. I found this forum by chance in 2007 and joined right away. Like most things, in my opinion, it's better to not take life so seriously, and follow your intuition. I didn't set out with a plan to not MB for a period of time in order to get WDs, to get to where I am today. I arrived at this point through following my intuition, life has led me to where I unconsciously want to be at this 'time.'
