What frustrates me is how easily I can go without porn when I can't get it?

What really frustrates me about porn and artifical sexual stimulation is how easy I can go without it when I can't get it. Yet when I have easy access to it then it isn't easy to refuse.

This to me doesn't seem like a severe addiction.

So think about a heroin addict while in withdrawal. They become ill and are desperate for heroin.

A severe alcoholic in withdrawl, they become ill, get the shakes and a lot of other unplesant symptoms and are desperate for alcohol.

Yet when someone who is addicted to porn can't get it, they seem to simply do without it relatively easy. Yet when they have easy access to it they can't do without it.

The heroin addicts body seriously craves heroin regardless if it is in front of them or not. The severe alcoholics body seriously craves alcohol regardless if it is in front of them or not. Yet the porn addict only really struggles to refuse porn when they can easily access it. When they can't easily access it they seem to go without it realitively easy.

This to me doesn't seem like a serious addiction. Remove the thing your addicted to, you easily go without it. But some addictions if you remove it then the person becomes ill and wants it more than ever. When I remove porn the wanting for it seems to be mild and I go wthout it quite easy. I don't feel unwell or anything like that because I can't get it. Yet if I can easily access it then it is difficult to refuse.

 

It's happened to me more times than I could count.

I got rid of my smart phone, tv, and all other devices I could access the internet on. I only have my laptop.

My friend is the administrator of my laptop and I just use a standard account on my laptop. I also have loads of other blockers on my laptop that only my friend can access.

My blocking system has reached the level I basically can't see any artificial sexual stimulion, and now the only way I can really bypass this is by factory resetting my laptop. Which I also would have a hard time doing without the administrator password and details.

The same thing happened tonight. All of a sudden I was desperate to PMO. But I simply couldn't get it. So I just MOed for 5 minutes and that was me done. Where as if I could of got all that content online I would of likely went in to a big relapse or more likely a binge.

This is the difference.

People say blockers don't work yada yada. But I honestly couldn't count now the amount of times this blocking system I have in place has saved me.

I honestly find it fairly easy to go without porn and artificial sexual stimulation when I can't access it. Where as when I can access it, the most likely thing that will eventually happen is a relapse or more likely a big pmo binge that will last days.

This is the difference.

 

I think it's totally different for me. MO for me lasts about 5 minutes, and I only usually do it a few times a week. Where as PMO for me one session can last hours, and this can go on all day or for days.

Something else that seems to have stopped recently is the chaser effect. I used to always want to PMO again, agan and again, and even MO again, and again and again. Where as recently when I MO once I seem to feel quite content and that is me done. I don't seem to have anywhere near as much interest anymore.

What really frustrates me though is I don't think I would be in this situation the now and have all these changes if I could access porn and artificial sexual stimulation. I think if I could easily access it I would of been relapsing far too much and probably even binging far too much. Where as not being able to access it I am thinking to my self wait a minute, maybe I can go without all that crap fairly easy, and then also feeling all the benefits of hardly ever being on anything like that.

Like I said it just frustrates me because when I simply can't get it, it's not like I am craving it all that much, and certainly not feeling any real physical or mental effects from not being able to get it. I maybe get a mild craving for it very occasionally when I am horny or feeling a bit low, that's about it. I MO for 5 minutes, then the craving is gone. Then I go on for about another week of no MO.

I guess it is similar to a drug addict. Take them away from the drugs so they can't access them for a while. The drug addict starts to easily go without these drugs quite easily. Put the drug addict back where they can easily access these drugs, then the drug addict finds it much more difficult to stay away from these drugs.

I guess it is kind of the same thing.

 

The exact same thing happened this morning. I woke up horny beyond belief, I was really wanting porn, but I simply couldn't get it. I then MOed for about 5 minutes, and for the rest of the day I have had no interest in it. But I believe if I could of accessed porn and artificial sexual stimulation this morning I actually think there would of been a good chance I would of went in to a binge the way I was feeling this morning. But because I couldn't access it I MOed for 5 minutes and have had no interest in anything like that the rest of the day.

This is the difference, and it does frustrate me. It frustrates me because I can actually fairly easily go without porn and artifical sexual stimulation. Basically I am not really getting any negative mental or physical effects from not being on porn or artificial sexual stimulation. I am not even getting that much of a craving for it, just getting the odd craving for it from time to time, with occasionally getting a random powerful urge for it. But like I said this feeling passes quickley. Yet when I can access porn and artificial sexual stimulation this is a completely different animal. I would find it much more difficult not to relapse on it when I can access it. Like I said this morning I got a powerful urge, and if I could of accessed it this morning I do think I could of ended up binging today. But because I couldn't access it I MOed for 5 minutes and then I haven't had any interest in it the rest of the day.

This reality does somewhat frustrate me.

 

Yeah I agree. Like some guys use blockers that they can turn on or off them self. I personally don't see this as being blocked. It's not blocked, as you can easily access it, so how is that blocked?

No wonder guys say blockers like this don't work.
