Does watching porn without masturbation still harbour the same effects as if you were masturbating to porn?
Never. Masturbation and Orgasm are still bad. But porn is worst. Believe me or not, it ain’t gonna help you in any way.
I'm still new to the whole NoFap concept. I know more of Semen Retention and Aura boosting. But yes, it will always lead to a relapse to PMO. Let's put this into perspective. Because I struggle with how gross this is myself. Every time you click on a video you just add adsense dollars to MindGeek. They literally control everyone and everything in this industry. From the salary and clothes of your favorite star, to the Ron Jeremy growth pills ads that come up before a video. I edged and watched a video where a P star said that scene was best moment of her life and she started crying and hugging the director........I morally can't support this any longer. Something tragic and messed up is deep inside her if she thinks that was her best moment in life. Every click = more money for MindGeek, more lives ruined.
Look man, nofap is about getting porn out of our lives forever. We all know that porn has zero benefits and I mean zero. I'm almost 400 days free from porn websites. We wish that porn didn't exist in the first place.

Porn is the reason people are doing this. I'm rebooting and mastrubate/orgasm now and then, with or without partner. But porn is an absolute no, it's the reason why our brains are as fucked up as they are.
You've got it all wrong. Out of PMO, P is the worst. You are watching artificial women that you don't even know or care about your existence from a cu*k perspective. If that's not toxic, I don't know what is.
P ist the worst but doing only M is also worse because our brain connects it with P and O is connected with M anyways. So only P is very similar to PMO i think and one day you would'nt resist only P and would get back to PMO. It's all connected dude. NoPMO is best! I'm on day 58 and I'm doing very well, I wish good luck to you stay away from PMO!
This. You might not be getting as much dopamine from just merely watching P without the M and O, but you're still flooding your brain with unnatural amounts of it, and this is just going to prolong your addiction and slow the progress of your recovery. These justifications are just your brain trying to trick you into remaining a coomer; it's going to fight you every step of the way throughout this ordeal because all it cares about is getting that rush of chemicals that it became accustomed to.
