Theories vs. Data for porn without orgasm

TRIGGER ALERT:
@nitsuj0786

I know you are deathly on to something, there is a ongoing movement the last 10 to 12 years in the industry to push what is called an edging, there is the misconception that it involves physical contact to be accomplished. As you so eloquently mentioned watching does release dopamine and effects the brain. But there is an industry design now to push that the limits, I basically creating a hands-free movement and overload. I've seen the material that I'm speaking of and is way beyond intense. And left you completely out of the loop brain wise for short amount of time. I can say it is totally not worth it at all.
My self was always the instant gratification guy. I didn't spend a lot of time watching as much as I did PMO and being done with it. But there was a moment when I did look at this new fad that I saw people using about 10 or 12 years ago. It's at the same time I used electro-stim to make everything disconnect. Talk about unhealthy for the body, it was complete overload and not necessary for any means to be done.
Not that PMO is necessary, but what you are describing goes way above and beyond exhaustion of these brain cells. People are not aware, or they choose not to. That methamphetamine, does the same exact thing to your brain that simply watching does. It slowly releases the releases and releases with no end in sight. An exhaust the dopamine to the point there's nothing left. There are met that accident become so desensitized a can not even have certain emotions such as laughter or sadness.

It's not the same as drinking, and going to a bar and looking at alcohol. Not touching something generally in addiction solves the problem. If you're a gambler and don't gamble, you're pretty much done. If you're an alcoholic but don't drink you're probably pretty much done. However due to the deep hormonal nature of our bodies and how we view the opposite sex and those triggers that engage cells in our brain and releases chemicals, are way different and as you mentioned do not shut off into you shut them off, or in some cases if people are watching so much they may deplete it all together to the point of possibly no return or possibly years of recovery.

A little over a year ago I just over three months the first time in my life since 1980, and what was once a daily occurrence now is about every week. That is not justifying or excuse making. But I also know that my levels are slowly coming back to where they were even having this huge amount of break every week. I seldom view material if ever, I simply pick and choose and download a move on and save it for a later day. Often doing other things at the same time but still beating the addiction.
I can see it slowing down for me personally but can see looking back 10 or 12 years ago at my pinnacle probably of the addiction it was horrible. How I felt was beyond messed up. Confusion would be there at times, it even felt like I had pre-dementia or Alzheimer's. It gets that fuzzy and messed up when you start damaging the brain cells and depleting your chemicals as you mentioned. I went percent support what you mentioned I only wish more people would understand what it really does your brain. Thank you for posting that you did above I can only hope more will listen. Unfortunately I do see mainstream adult material coming out to push those limits even more and more. And that scares the hell out of me that other people might actually have to go through what I did.

 

What? Where?
