I tried The Unmentionable once. Realized what a stupid idea that was halfway through and resolved never to abuse myself like that again.

Isn't there a movie about a guy that gives up the unmentionable for 40 days?

40 Days and 40 Nights be the movie. I think the guy was giving up sex in general, but I cold be wrong. If I gave that up I'd explode.

My roommate in college gave up chocolate and self-love during Lent. He was single at the time and after about two weeks he was just miserable to be around and he knew it.

I told him he could probably swap something else in (like Catholic cross training) and he went for that idea. So then he gave up chocolate and red meat and was a lot easier to be around.

Good thing too. I couldn't take being around someone that grumpy for 20+ more days.

When I was still going to church in Middle School, I wanted to give up shoes for 40 days. My mom who worked at the same school I went to told me it probably wasn't a good idea, so I didn't get to do it.

Haters holdin' me back, man.

This reminds me of the time my roommate announced she was going to go straightedge for 3 months, and had been doing so for a week already. I responded by opening a beer and passing it to her. She drank it.
