    Something that is becoming much more clear to me is it isn't so much porn that's the problem, it's the way I have used it.

    I am in no way saying moderate porn use is ok. But many guys have used porn and artificial sexual stimulation to some extent for many many years. Yet they haven't developed any issues, or very little issues.

    I think the big difference between these guys and me is they're not addicts, and I am an addict.

    I have been getting longer streaks of no porn and artifical sexual stimulation recently than what I used to get. The last one being 17 days, and then this one being 15 days.

    But today I stupidly peaked at porn for 5 minutes today. I found this porn extremely arousing after not seeing anything that aroused me like that for 15 days. This lead me to somewhat not being able to stop thinking about it.

    I have also been worrying about something the last few days, and I feel like this didn't help me either.

    But tonight I ended up on porn, and it basically turned in to around a 10 hour PMO session. I didn't have one PMO session that lasted 10 hours. But I had 3 PMO sessions that together lasted the most part of 10 hours. Literally 3 to 4 hours flicking about hundreds and hundreds of different content, edging, masturbating, and this was lasting 3 to 4 hours before I was ejaculating. This happened like this 3 different times.

    But I actually used to do things like this constantly for years, and I actually used to not even realise how abnormal this was. I just used to think ah well everybody looks at porn. But there's masturbating to porn for 5 or 10 minutes occasionally, and then there is obscene PMO binges that last hours.

    It's obvious to me now this is the difference between a casual user and an addict. It the way the person uses it. For as long as I can remember I have always used porn in this binging, edging style. I don't really ever remember using porn casually.

    I am a porn addict, and a big one at that. I think really it's a dopamine addict, and edging, flicking about hudreads of different content while masturbating before I ejaculate is the way I get my dopamine fix.

    I can't even describe the level of enjoyment and pleasure I was getting from doing this earlier.

    But I am seriously realizing just how abnormal this was, Just the way it felt.

    But there was some negative effects I noticed. After a good few hours I began to get an extrememly sore head. Now I feel sort of spaced out and fuzzy I guess.

    It's just insane. I can't believe I never thought this stuff used to be that much of a problem.

    I am a big PMO addict.

    My behavouir while on that stuff is far from normal. The amount I want it and how long I want to be on it is abnormal to.

    I actually used to think well what else would I rather be doing? I used to think I prefer PMOing more than most things anyway.

    But now I think no way I want to be wasting my life and time constantly doing that crap like that.

    I am a serious addict. I can't believe it has took me this long to realize it.

    Hello friend,

    welcome the the addict club. I wish I could tell you that we have cool jackets. This is always really hard to find the humility to admit. But trust me this is a step in the right direction.

    True, once you succumb to watch porn or have a glimpse of porn flicks you have already broken streak. Avoid small temptations because small temptations can be avoided but once they become huge you become dragged toward it.

    I'm this way as well. When I fall, I fall. That's where I learned to hate porn, not myself. It's so easy after a day like that to look in the mirror and tell myself how utterly disgusting I am. How angry I am at myself for being so weak and stupid. And do you know where this got me? The same place the next day, and the next day, and the next day until you have 15 days chained together. No doubt I had responsibility for getting there, but truth be told we are cogs in a wheel. Cogs in a wheel turning a giant machine of greed, envy, lust, and shame. And once it chews one of us up it has another cog discovering this on his tablet or phone.

    Don't hate yourself, hate porn. Hate where it takes you and what it does to you. Hate what it makes you do to other people. Hate how it makes you feel. Hate how disgusting and dirty it makes you feel. There are times that porn makes my screen crawl in disgust, but I would go back. Learn to love yourself. Love what you gain from quitting. Love your time and passions. Love your integrity. Love your strength and resolve. And please love yourself more than you hate porn.

    Don't get sucked into peeking, you know where it leads. If you can cut it off at this point, then it will take all your willpower to get through. I've never gone beyond 45 or 50 minutes with the edging, but I know how good it feels and how mindless I become. But remember equal to the pleasure will be the pain and the trap you keep yourself in. Don't get in deeper and deeper, and as suggested above don't even give in to the small temptations, because if you've gotten in this deep, it's like a hole in the ground you step into, but beneath may be an endless downward tunnel of regret. Yes you are an addict, and so am I. What can we do? For now, we can do our best to make a pact with ourselves not to peek. That is a small thing, but once we break that, the big things take over and the shit will hit the fan guaranteed.
