Thanks for the feedback guys. This is the stuff I was hoping for, input beyond my own knowledge.
While at uni I was sleeping with many women, had loads of girlfriends, basically playing the game and winning it daily. Being good looking may have helped with that by around 90% (I was modelling while at uni which made picking up women easy). Social proof was there, DHV, constantly at parties etc.
In that time I was content and happy. There was nothing more to fulfill me. While leaving uni and after reading "The Game" (birthday present from a mate). Neil Strauss spoke about validation through women. Which is when I realised that even though I was 100% comfortable with myself, I got my validation through women. Thus my need for this challenge. Am I reallycomfortable with myself or is it just my success with women that makes me this comfortable?
The idea of being angry and depressed is a bit concerning. The notion I will have an uncontrollable desire to show love is even scarier! Sounds like a weird thing a rapist would say. So you can see my concerns.
I'm going to see how it goes. I've told my "bed buddies" what I'm doing, so if I actually need to break out of the challenge, I don't have to Sarge, I can just get laid.
p.s. I've never seen '40 days and 40 nights' but I'm assuming it's about giving up sex. Or about Noah's Arc as I'm sure it rained the. For 40 days+nights. I'll go with the giving up sex idea.
