    I found this article below to be very interesting. It is about alcoholism and a drug that is used to help eliminate cravings for alchohol. I kept Wondering if this medication could be applied to people with severe porn / masterbation issues to help lower cravings for porn. It supposedly blocks opiod receptors so I suppose one would take it when approaching a relapse or just daily and then if the person acts out they wouldn't get the same "rush" or pleasure from it and eventually not have any interest in pmo. This is all theoretical of course but is interesting.

    Different addictions, while similar, are very different things. These addictions work on different pathways in the brain.

    Developed, science (developed for a long time) has not been done on this, so I don't know if there is a similar solution or not.

    I would also like to add that (although you may not be considering this, but a lot of people resort to this), recreational drugs and self-medication are both not good routes to go down. Don't drink alcohol/energy drinks, smoke/vape weed/tobacco, play games [to escape], gamble, or snort/pop/whatever anything else. I am just throwing this out there as it is definitely a problem a lot of people run into.
