Message to all you guys complaining about quarantine

I get your point man, but viewing that situation from the perspective of an addict person is quite troubling. You have more free time. If you are and addict, you are literally feeling urges even if you don't think that much about masturbation and porn all the time. And there are people out there that really struggle because of that. They really want to change, but that new circumstances are tough for them as hell.
The boredom is a problem. It should not happen, we should prevent that as frequently as possible. We should do some productive stuff for us, especially now. And many of us treat that situation like an excuse and I agree with that. Those are just people who relapse on purpose and use quarantine like an distinctive excuse. "Shit I relapse again because of that boredom... Quarantine is shit, I hate it, because of that I lose my progress...", yeah, come on, you choose that, you get your dick in your hand and you started watching porn not because of quarantine, but because of your lack of willpower and courage to fight that. So yeah, we need to stay focused on our goals and not treat that situation like an optional exit doors.

 

I hear what you’re saying. There are triggers tho, and some studies suggest things like stress or boredom increase the chance of one performing unwanted habits.

It isn’t as though it’s a conscious decision to think I’m feeling stressed so I’ll PMO, from my (fairly limited) understanding, for instance stress increases dopamine, this makes you seek a high, for people using PMO this is where it quite often leads.

I guess it’s one of those things that I and probably many others try to understand after the event. So while it may sound like a conscious decision, it’s more of a post event debrief, and something to watch out for next time as a possible trigger

 

There's a whole nother group of men affected by all this. Those are the guys that might only MO occasionally but most of the time have been getting off with real women cause they go out looking and have game. Except now they can't go out and pull chicks or if they do there aren't chicks out to be pulled. How many girls are even gonna let a guy get close to sticking his D in her when we're all supposed to stay 6 feet apart?

A lot of those players aren't gonna be willing or able to go without releasing so they'll wind up jacking it at home just like a PMO addicted antisocial loser. In that respect this coronavirus thing is quite an equalizer.
