Did you ever tell your friend that he might be PMO addict?

    Hi,

    so I've a friend that I suspect that is also PMO addict... he's been always alone, never actively looked for girls like I did and he even says that it's OK for him as it is!

    He's shy guy and I know that he spend a lot of time at home... always seem to be a little bit tired, depressed, just like me.

    So a thought came to my mind, what if he's also PMO addict and he doesn't realise how much damage he make to himself? I had no idea how much damage I do until I learned it hard way.

    Did you ever considered friend to be PMO addict? Would you try to talk to a trusted friend about it? I wish I could help him, like friends do! Just wonder if it's proper to ask about stuff like that. I never shared this part of my life with anyone who knows me.
     
  2. I did, actually, and he decided to start trying to give it up. But we don't talk anymore, so I don't know if he's trying or not.

  3. I've never suspected friends to be PMO addicts, I know of some that have watched Hentai before openly and they've been in relationships. If a friend did ask me about this. I wouldn't hesitate to tell them I have a problem and I would ask for their trust. It would be an honest blessing for someone to take notice.. I would feel loved or at least some sympathy for asking what's going on with me, why I never talk to them. Nobody even messages about how I'm doing with my current health situation.


    If you're really that curious and you notice his actions or depressive actions, you could ask and be a fantastic friend to see how their doing, just ask if anything's wrong.

    Watching hentai or even P doesn't make someone addict just like not all people who drink are alcoholics.

    That used to be my mindset as well, what you describe. I know that feel, I have no friends or person who care that much to ask that stuff. I think it's human thing that we don't ask for help but we secretly wait for it to be delivered... those things might be tiny, we're shy about sharing them ourselves but it's visible that something is not right... until the moment when the problem overwhelms us and we explode...

    I want to give people, what I didn't receive from them... thank you for sharing your opinion.

    How did he react once you suggested this thing? Did he try to defend or admited straight away and was grateful for asking?
     
  5. Sorry I didn't really imply it correctly but they were watching it addictively like addicts, thought nothing of it. What I don't understand is that some of my friends watched it like lady da and they still got Woman.

    You never know if they have issues, do you? It might take years to develop and if they have gf maybe it will be strong enough event to stop the behaviour, who knows.
    It's not likr you're not able to land a gf once addicted, right?
    I can say for myself that I didn't actively look for gf because I had PMO AND what's important, I had problems in school(don't want to go with details). This put my self esteem into level I didnt know exist. It seem to be bottomless.
    Nevertheless both things combined resulted in isolation and depression, some kind of.
    Probably if you're normal happy person, with "only" P addiction, as a result of overwhelming sexual tension and your sexual needs, it is easier to still have normal relations with woman and not only, in general, social life.
