Understanding the Denial Plateau

I’ve come across the idea of a plateau before when talking about frustration from denial or wearing chastity gear. I am currently on day 20 without an orgasm (still no chastity cage, as my girlfriend doesn’t like them). Recent life events have pulled some time and focus away from not having orgasms, but even ignoring those distractions, I feel things are getting easier regarding both the lack of expectation for an orgasm and managing sexual frustration. In the past, hearing people aim for 30, 60, or more days made me think it was impossible; a week felt like forever to wait. Now, I can relate better. Sitting at day 20, I’m wondering how much further I can push this compared to just wanting an immediate release. It feels like I’ve broken the habit.

So my question is: what do you think about plateaus and when does yours kick in? Mine seems to hit around three weeks.
