Is just MO at least a bit acceptable?

I would consider it the same. It's not real and it's messing with your brain. You need to be commited to the whole rebooting process. Hopefully one of the males will respond to this thread and give you more insight into the benefits and strategies for you to suceed. Good luck!

 

I completely understand that it's difficult. But remember it's not impossible and it will make you a better man. Think about when a baby is weaned from being breastfed it's not easy for the baby but breast milk is not necessary forever. We need to move on and leave childish and selfish ways behind. Just focus on today take it one day at a time so you don't see it as impossible. Hey, you're not the only one going through this there are many others who are also giving it up.

 

I think it's a good start. However, as you seem to be aware, it doesn't completely solve the problem yet. In my personal experience, I found myself drifting back to PMO eventually. If that doesn't happen in your case and if you see steady improvement of decreasing grip of porn over your life, then well and good. However, if it does happen, don't be alarmed. It would simply mean you will have to commit to the real deal of complete reboot. Just be sure you are objective enough, to evaluate your progress and are quick to change approach if needed.

 

Hey @Teseron, good question.
I think there is a short term and long term answer to this question.

Masturbation is not evil. Porn is, and it makes our brains think more extreme sexual ideas.
If you want to free your mind from these extreme pornographic images, and reconnect with your real, natural sexuality, then you need to stop watching porn and also stop masturbating. This is because your thoughts right now are fuelled by the porn you've been watching for years. If you want to let these go then you need to go clean of sexual activity for a good amount of time.

HOWEVER, in the long term, you can reintroduce masturbation into your life. Ideally you would be able to masturbate focussing on your pwn pleasure and not on made up images in your head. If you quit PMO you will be sensitive and sexual enough to O from simple touch rather than fantasising.

Good luck!
