    So i have been reading about p(porn) for a long time now, I've read numerous books and read various articles mainly about addictions and how they affect the way we think, i read about the physical effects of the p addiction, but what struck me the most is the psychological part.
    And i decided to write my findings and share it with you. I'll be happy to hear what my friends here will say.


    The four phases of the crazy p addiction.

    • Desensitization
    • Dissatisfaction
    • Depression
    • Destruction

    The crazy p addiction goes through the above phases if you believe what iam saying or not.
    The first time you sneaky, greedy person watch p, you get aroused by nearly all the damn p your gaze jumps into, and from here it goes down. this is called the desensitization phase.

    p* is a stimulation for your body parts that get really happy when they see it, i will mention them openly later in this cool post, iam joking... I would never want to do that, now back to our topic.
    so p is like any other stimuli like smell or sound. our body works like this, in order not to overload the brain with too much stimuli it has to desensitize itself with the particular oversupplied stimuli. this is because, our brains become verry sad when overloaded... overloading the brain with stimuli is in fact harmful to the brain.
    for an example, your nose will desensitize itself of a certain perfume you put on or any stinky smell you have now so that you may feel other smells, and that is why its hard knowing your own smell. and the fact that you smell and have been desensitized of your own smell doesn't mean the smell is not there anymore, its there but harder to be noticed, unless you add more to it. thinking its not there means your crazy and you need medicine.
    P acts in the same fascinating way, the first videos you watch are nearly all super arousing and bring the most beautiful orgasm, but after sometime, the body gets envious of you receiving marvelous rewards FOR FREE and starts desensitizing certain genre of p, often the type you watched more, now the certain types of p you watched earlier on don't have the same damn taste and stimulation anymore "what the hell body, you should be supporting me!", this desensitization continues until there comes a time when the body wins and no p tastes good enough, but the human mind is clever and seeks help from a saviour of all p greedy people ESCALATION.

    Escalation simply means to move to a higher level, just like climbing the steps.
    in the stupid smell example i just gave you, escalation is the adding of perfume to the body as soon as you start being desensitized of the perfume smell you already had, its the same as climbing a ladder to see the sun as it is setting, the sooner it sets down, you say "Damn!" And you climb higher and one day you will be at the end of the ladder and the sun will overtake your eye sight.

    Escalation to the p greedy people means looking for harder, dangerous, shocking, SUPRISING (when you see it your like "gosh! Didn't know this was here"), crazy, stupid, p clips, as soon as the ones you use don't hit the spot you wanted anymore.
    And if your first encounter with these stupid p gave a feeling like the one a desensitized person gets, we would have quit it earlier because the taste would not be that much, but because it happens so gradually and slowly and we learn to constantly escalate, we don't ever feel to quit and we dont feel the taste decreasing.

    Desensitization leads to the second phase which is dissatisfaction...

    Now as we said our p addiction goes through four phases before it makes your life a livinghell!

    • Desensitization
    • Dissatisfaction
    • Depression
    • Destruction

    Phase two... Dissatisfaction.

    Dissatisfaction simply means not getting satisfied with what's there for you.

    Escalation
    makes you move to a higher level of stimulation, as you climb the steps of escalation you need more and more and more and more...(we can continue all day) stimulation each time, the more higher you climb, the more harder it becomes to escalate, you:"hey!! I expected it would be more easier, doesn't practice make perfect!?", well no! mainly because there isn't enough genre of p to escalate on.

    As soon as you get desensitized to a certain genre, most of the p in that genre become dissatisfying to you, but here is the good news for you greedy person, there is a bit of pleasure which is always there and because it still gives you a bit of pleasure you take it, but the sad news is, the moment you m to it is when you find out it isn't satisfying you to the utmost pleasure you need, even before m it seemed not as glorious as when you first started p right.

    Dissatisfaction is hard to cope with, the feeling that once you had better orgasms but now you can't reach them is verry much irritating (you become like "the hell!!!, all that p and only this much orgasm!").

    dissatisfaction should logically stop one from p, yes, but it doesn't, its because when people get this, they think its only today that this happened or because he didn't find the right p clip, so the search is on again to find the glorious clip that will get him to the highest orgasm he once had, his incentives motivate him to keep searching, the more he does this, the more he gets desensitized, the more he gets dissatisfied, one day he'll wake up and find that he can't find even one satisfying clip, he has reached at the top of the escalation ladder (" damn!!, i cant escalate anymore"), a point that he has no choice but to quit p.
    but until then, he still has a long hell of dissatisfaction he has to go through.

    Dissatisfaction is a feeling which comes after having an expectation of a higher orgasm and getting a lower one, this feeling is really irritating, its like this, for example if you found yourself drowned and was desperately searching to grasp air, you reached the top of the water and finaly you could grasp some air but before you even breathed in enough, you were pulled back into the water and ended up swallowing gulps of water like hell!, the anger and frustration you get by not being given a chance to breath in enough air is hard to deal with especially because you have no power of controlling the circumstances.

    When someone is dissatisfied he tends to want more and more stimuli, ("i know there is one which will satisfy me, i just got to search more"), therefore more and more p, and thats how the addiction gets stronger, but the more he overloads himself with stimuli the more he gets dissatisfied. The addiction works in a back to front manner but some of us fail to see it that way, you may find that you don't watch p because it gives you more and more pleasure, you watch because you feel less and less pleasure. When you feel the p is less pleasurable, you tend to want more to fill the void of dissatisfaction, which apparently can never be filled by p and sometimes not even s*x can fill it, but you don't see it that way, mainly because it happens so slowly, the dissatisfaction you feel doesn't all come in one day.

    Dissatisfaction leads to a bigger health psychological problem called depression. And it will be my next topic.

    Iam sorry for being late, i guess i procrastinate too much, but lets get on with our topic on what i call The crazy p addiction.

    The 3rd phase of the crazy p addiction.....Depression.

    Depression, it is simply like this, the day is good, everything is going fine and you don't feel like doing anything, the mere process of waking yourself up is a tiresome, boring process.

    waking up might be hard, but getting to sleep may be even harder, (crazy situation right?) . you feel like the world is never going to be better, this is the stage iam in now as iam writting this.

    It's a stage where you don't know or have forgotten how it feels to be a normal person, you think that every one experiences the things you go through, people do experience some symptoms that you have, but not all at once, not to a point of being suicidal, not to a point of having a bad time in a good day.

    Depression is caused by too much bloody dissatisfaction, the more you are dissatisfied with p, the more you wonder why on earth you did it, its because it is not so glorious at all as you had once experienced it before.
    too much thinking gets you to a point where you want to quit p forever, but also, you never seem to be in the mood to quit today, and even if you do quit, the depression will still be there for a while (it will be coming and going at freakin' unsuspected times).
    we mistakenly call this a craving for p because we got to a habit of relieving depression with p (we are like " when i feel down i search for p"), which will then continue the journey of desensitization, dissatisfaction and in no time we will be back to more intense depression.

    The point comes when we actually fool ourselves to believe that p is healing us of depression (or what we just call a bad day or feeling down), while in the longterm its actually causing more of it so that you can relieve it with p again later on, and the chain continues.

    despite depression, there are many other factors out there which make us relapse. But the thing is, depression is unknown to many of us and is confused with stress.
    Sadly we also associate depression with p cravings. you may find that what we many times call p cravings are actually depression symptoms.
    This may be confusing to understand at first because, depression is a long topic and cannot be fully explained in a short post, not only that, it's a pretty much booooring topic too (i guess that's why only a few learn it deeply enough). It is also not clearly known by scientists how depression actually works, leaving many assumptions as on what may treat it, and how to treat it.

    You can also check this sh*t i found out while reading on depression.



    depression comes along with the last stage of the p addiction, DESTRUCTION, or we can say, The hell on earth, that is when the p addiction turns us to SHIT!!, this will be explained next.

    This will be the last topic in my series of posts and if you were following, you should by now be wanting to read the remaining part and then quit reading these boring posts.(just a joke)

    The last phase...Destruction.

    We said there are four phases of our addiction, Desensitization, Dissatisfaction, Depression and lastly Destruction.
    I think most of us are on the second and third phase and we think that that's hell, well wait and see what your waiting for next...THE DESTRUCTION phase, and this is where life becomes a living nightmare.

    Don't worry much because you still have a whole lot of depression to go through before you reach this part.
    Destruction starts when you are compelled to do stuff that are unimaginable to do right now (risky sh*t). Maybe it sounds insane to risk chances of death because of the addiction, or to do something with the risk of going to jail or just to hurt a loved one. With a good and sane mind, these sound impossible. But when the addiction gets out of hand, all those crazy things will become part of life.

    The worse thing about our dissatisfaction of pmo is that, it makes us want to project this addiction into a more severe and risky one, SEXUAL ADDICTION (both pmo and sexual addictions are bad yes, but at least pmo is done privately and least affect us getting to jail or killing anybody). Now we maybe are just searching for free p online, but as the addiction goes on, some of us start hooking up prostitutes and suddenly don't care about all the costs anymore. The effects of this projects to our daily lives, "my gosh! I keep using all my savings to girls and prostitutes" or "i feel to rape this person, i don't care if i go jail!! Hahaahaa!!!" . And god forbid anyone starts being sexual with his close relative even if it's by imagination.

    Sexual addiction is a whole new educational, life saving and booooring topic. So i won't talk of it more than that, and maybe my next new topic will if we want to learn more. But it sure is the cause of unimaginable sexual behaviours, like parents being sexual with their children. " Sh*t, who on earth would do that damn thing?", you!, when you get to the destruction phase.

    The destruction phase is ussually not talked about, it's ussually suffered quietly and privately. Each individual has his own destructive behaviours which project from this addiction as it reaches out of hand. So i guess we term the other stupid behaviours as ones personality but not associate it with the p addiction. There are many risky behaviours which project from this p addiction, like lying, psychopathy, violent sexual behaviour, children abuse, exhibitionism and many more sh*t.

    The destruction phase will ruin your life, ruin your future and rob you to bankruptcy in no time, the actual time for us to stop is now so lets make a greater effort.
    This is where i stop these posts. I used the knowledge of 3 books to write this. I hope this knowledge will be of help even though its just a summary of the long, boring books i read.
    By the tiger...love you all my fellow greedy, never quitting (pmo), friends.

    I went through the first 3 stages but never made it to destruction (thankfully).
    • Desensitization
    • Dissatisfaction
    • Depression
    • Destruction
    Desensitization

    I was watching so much P, my brain was just overloaded.
    Instead of PMO, I reached the point of PO!
    I don't even M, and I just explode watching P!
    After that, I became so desensitized.

    Dissatisfaction

    I kept looking for more and more P!
    But nothing would make me PO again!
    Saw a post that said: "Without M, P is boring"
    I was dissatisfied with P.

    Depression

    I just kept searching for more intense P!
    The "best of the best" P!
    There I was watching P, for hours, everyday.
    No M. No O. Depressed.

    Destruction (didn't make it here)

    Never made it to this part.
    Coz there was a game changer.
    A friend convinced me to go to dance classes, meetups, church groups.

    My mind was blown.
    All that physical, emotional, spiritual connection with women.

    There's more to life than PMO.
