Urges when studying

Its not just an urge its form of escapism you made porn as an escape

Embrace that exam, fight do not run from it

 

Don’t be too hard on yourself, you have to accept that while you used to be able to study 6 hours a day you potentially might not be at that point right now with your PMO recovery. That is ok. Try to hit maybe 4 hours to start with and gradually work your way up. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, take it one day at a time.

good luck on your exam!

 

I suffer the same thing for years already.
Good luck to you.

 

No for about a 100 days not anymore, but nothing different yet as to before.

 

This is so relatable to me dude.

The last couple of days I’ve been finishing my college year and I’ve been too stressed, so I’ve been having monstrous urges to jerk off, not even to watch porn, but simply to masturbate and feel the dopamine push, so I can be relaxed. But as sb said before, I think when I’ve been stressed before, I’ve used PMO as an escape, instead of solving the problem.

So I don’t think stop studying is going to help, you’ll just have to flow with the stress, and not solving it through urges; cause I tell you, when I’m studying, my mind constantly flashes me with imaginations of me penetrating a girl or receiving a blowjob, but I immediately go back to my subject of study, and the thought eventually fades away.

My advice to you is don’t masturbate when you are stressed, but neither watch tv, YouTube or social media to keep yourself distracted; what you need to do is solve the root of the problem, so if you don’t understand something and that makes you stressed, look for a tutorial, talk to a mentor or simply re-study the material. If you focus too much on your thoughts(“I can’t do this”, “I’m stupid”, “I need to jerk off”), then you won’t be able to progress.

You are not your thoughts, you don’t control them as they come and go, but you can flow with them and choose to ignore vicious thoughts. So next time you’re feeling an urge, just keep studying, and put your energy on that textbook or that problem, instead on the stress.

 

Also, remember that you still need to honor Maximus fucking Decimus Meridius, look for strength in his character.
