Viewers discuss who won the Contest episode's bet about abstinence, with replies clarifying that George won, revealed in a later episode, and that Elaine lost after seeing JFK Jr. at the gym.
There was an old episode which the four of them made a bet about who's the one that can last the most without doing "you know..." because george's mom caught him doing it. Elaine lost because she saw some one in the jim (i can't remember who)and kramer lost because he saw a naked woman. George and Jerry were the only ones that were left. I never understood who one. Can you tell me?

It was revealed in "The Puffy Shirt" that George won. Elaine saw JFK, Jr. in the gym. Jerry had frustrations with his girlfriend, the virgin.
According to George anyway (whatever his word is worth :) ).

Elaine lost because she saw JFK Jr in the gym. But I'm also stumped as to who actually was the "master of their domain."
The episode concludes with George and Jerry sleeping soundly which seems to imply that they both caved in at the same time.

First off, the guy Elaine "lost" because of was John F. Kennedy Jr., who she saw at the gym. As for George and Jerry, I'm almost positive George won because Jerry seemed to cave in right after his virgin girlfriend left him. he was all ready to go and then she left. then he ran into his bedroom. we were supposed to put 2 and 2 together. also, in the episode in which george became a hand model, they asked him if he had a problem with you know what. and he said "i won a contest"

I don't think we are to assume anything, as they were all sleeping soundly at the end of the episode. There is no way to tell which of George and Jerry caved first, except if you want to accept George's word, which is probably not a great idea.

Didn't Larry David confirm that George won the bet? if so, wouldn't that force me to say "end of discussion" right about now?
I recall David, in an interview, saying something about how George won, but it was all tongue in cheek so we can't even accept that as ultimate proof.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that the winner has not been revealed. We know Elaine and Kramer caved, but throughout the episode, they used how well the characters slept as a gauge to whether they caved or not. Kramer caved, he was the only one sleeping soundly. Elaine caved, she and Kramer slept whole Jerry and George tossed and turned. Then they show Jerry giving up after Marla left him and we are to assume he caved as well. This is 'proven' when Jerry is shown sleeping at the end, but then they also show George snoozing away. If George was still 'master', he should have been squirming in bed, in keeping with the 'theme'. Now, I've seen continuity errors, but this would have to be a glaring error and I'm not buying it. They did it on purpose to leave doubt in out minds. This is the reason why the punch line, delivered much later by George the hand model in "The Puffy Shirt", was so funny.
So George admitted he won the contest, but what does that mean? Would it be above George to lie to get a job? Of course not, we've seen him do that with Mr. Kreuger. So, he told the hand model guy that he won the contest. That means nothing. Call it a white lie to impress a new boss.
So until further proof is brought to bear, the facts remain. Either Jerry or George won the contest, but we don't know who, as they both caved some time that night, in between when they were seen awake and when they were seen sleeping soundly at the end.
Probably the reason Larry David says that George won the bet is because the character of George is "based" on Larry David. If I was Larry, I'd say "I" won, too!
As sick as it sounds, I think they may have helped each other out!
The "Jim"?

JFK Jr.
George claims he won in the "Puffy Shirt."
"You don't have to worry about me (masturbating). I won a contest."
The responder to this poster said George cliamed he won in the Puffy SHirt -I don't remember the name of the episode, but it was in the one where he was a hand model where he said "You don't have to worry about me, I won a contest" Jason
