I'm going back to Porn (but only pictures)

    I wouldn't' say pictures cause PIED (unless you make the same mistake I have made and create a slideshow of a new picture every 7 seconds!!).

    I'm close to returning to PMO but only to the odd picture here and there. Frankly me depriving myself of any sexual stimuli for the last three years or so is almost inhumane! There is no way our ancestors lived without any some sort of sexual stimulation every now and then! Even though for me it's artificial sexual stimuli, it's still better than been in monk mode for sooo long (as long as I don't escalate it to Clips or slideshows).

    Also, I might return to PMO as I'm fed up of the excess Testosterone, it's converting to estrogen and making my butt grow everyday! I had no problem with the gym and with my body shape in my PMO days.

    I'll be waiting until around mid august before starting to go back to PMO - as this will mark exactly three years PMO free.

    Does anyone here still not use pictures to let off some steam occasionally?
     
  2. Dude...you're really posting about going back to PMO on a forum site that is against PMO? I mean really you're already fighting a losing battle. If you want to go back to PMO using pictures fine thats your life we aren't here to decide that for you.
    Umm...no?

    Then whats the point? You probably might escalate into doing that shit again.
    Yeah they have, you know our ancestors masturbated right...that was their stimulation or go out and have sex.
     
  3. I've only ever managed about a month off porn entirely so our experiences might be quite different, but several times I've thought that borderline porn (instagram models and ASMR videos) would be fine yet I'd always end up falling back into watching hardcore videos pretty soon after.

    Not saying it can't be done, but it's a big risk isn't it?

  4. Good job brother. Keep making excuses.
     
  5. Ignore my counter - that was set and promptly forgotten about 5 days later when I relapsed. Only came back here today. I thought just giving up porn alone would work but it didn't.

    Dude our ancestors had sex, not masturbate to porn. Porn enhances dopamine levels way past what they should be. The population wouldn't be nearly as big as it is now if porn was a thing back then. Sexual stimuli is good for many facets of life, but the strongest one is for real life intimacy. If you feel alone find a girl, don't relapse to porn, it will only hold you back.

    @Depressed&Out - your signature makes no sense...

    Last PMO:
    August 2017

    Longest Hardmode 6 months
    Last MO: I give up! CAN'T STOP MOing!

    No PMO: 500+ Days

    And your post makes no sense either. :confused:

  9. I don't want to be alarming but this is EXACTLY how I relapsed after two years. Started watching pictures
     
  10. Same. I wanted to watch hentai so bad that I didn't care if I relapsed. Dumbass me...
     
  11. This is so unmotivating to see someone turning back to porn after 3 years.

    what, your 3 years of freedom were not good enough for you? how does this even happen?
    Why can't you just use your imagination for MO. and not poision yourself and ruin the progress with pornography again.
     
  12. Don't call him a brother. He isn't worthy to be one.

  13. MO and PMO are linked. Eventually your imagination won’t be enough and you’ll inevitably go back to porn.

  15. That's part of the irony of my message.

  17. You can make as many excuses as you want to, no matter the bullshit you tell yourself as to why you should return to porn at the end of the day you'll just prolong your suffering until the day you realize you screwed up, fooled yourself and you have to start all over....
     
  18. Uh..Why are you giving him advice? And how can you say that when you're in 272 days?

    Why not masturbate without porn though?! Imagination is a wonderful thing.

  20. Masturbating to your imagination is replacing porn with your own fantasy which is not healthy and will keep you stuck in the addiction cycle.
