    So i started my porn recovery journey about 3 weeks ago. I decided to try a slightly different approach, to some people on here that seemed more achievable to myself.

    Basically I decided to quit porn first but continue masturbating and then move to stage 2 which also included no fapping or O.

    Its been three weeks since I last watched porn. I def had urges to watch it and when i did feel horny I continued to M and O which relieved the urge to watch P.
    However, in the last few days ive found that im no longer horny at all. I tried to M/O this morning and I was unable to get an erection so i gave up and got up for a shower and went out for breakfast.

    It seems that without P, ive gone into a sort of flatline that makes m & o very difficult without visual stimulation.
    So now I think its the perfect time to go to stage 2 and go full hard mode with no pmo for 90 days.

    Can anyone think of any pros/cons for this approach?
    I just thought i would write this for anyone that might find it helpful. But as im only new to this (but was reading about it for about a month before my first attempt) i thought i would get some opinions on this approach.

    So im curious to hear your thoughts.

  2. Hi. I tried what you are doing before. My thinking is that it is hard to quit two addictions at the same time. Porn and MO. For me I found that I went overboard with the MO and didn't make much progress. How was it for you? Did you MO like crazy and it got easier over time? Or were you getting satiated after one MO?

    Do whatever approach works for you. At the beginning it seems like a huge task so whatever makes it more manageable or doable. I'm interested in hearing how this works out for you. Good luck!

    I'd personally recommend going full no PMO for at least 90 days and seeing how you feel then.
