    I am very happy today. I have finally completed one year totally free from Masturbation. But it's a matter of regret that I couldn't quit porn.

    Here's my story. I started PMO in 2016 when I was 13 years old. After then my life becomes so much problematic and distressed that I can't explain in just few sentences. Finally I made my mind in 2021 to quit PMO for good. I am successful in quitting M but couldn't leave porn .

    Advantages of quitting Masturbation -
    1) I am free from the fear of Erectile Dysfunction.
    2) I am always full of energy and motivation.
    3) I can study for long hours without distraction.
    4) My grade is increasing day by day.
    5) I am confident of being capable in bed though I am virgin and don't like dating and am thinking of never marrying.
    6) I can take any challenge easily.


    Disadvantages of Masturbation -
    1) My depression has been so high that I sometimes think of suicide.
    2) I feel severe headache.
    3) I get nihilist thoughts and most often remain depressed
    4) I don't want to be socialized .

    I can confidently say that quitting masturbation will bring thousand times more good than bad. I am currently facing many disasters in my life and always keep myself away from girls. That's why my side effects are hard to bear. But believe me ! Quitting PMO can change your life like mine.
    Bear pain for some months and become happy for rest of the life.

    I dont know how is it even possible to quit m but keep watching porn.
     
  3. I believe it is possible but incredibly risky. It can lead to a practice called "Edging" flooding the brain with dopamine and always looking for arousal.

    In my own experience, I edged for like 2 weeks one time and my brain was full of lust leading to longer porn binges.

    To me porn is more dangerous than M, as you are aroused by the visual excitements. And high speed interment porn makes this supply infinite. It’s not natural and it’s beyond our body’s limit. Although I haven’t watched it for more than one year, some scenes that I watched years ago could still pop up. It’s a very powerful thing and I wish you could stop it.

    Indeed, its much more damaging not just for mind but also prostate / reproductive / gi health if you keep edging without release. This guy has deluded himself into oblivion for an year.

    You all are so negative, assuming he edged then I'm impressed he managed to go a whole year without orgasming once, and even if he didn't edge then props to the man having the willpower to refrain from keeping his hands off a whole 365 days
    Even a year without MO is still a good step because of the effects of semen retention and the amount of self control needed, obviously it would have been better PMO free but 1 year no MO I would say is still an achievement

  7. How often did you look at pornography during this time?

    There is still leakage of energy just by watching pornography. Even just regular fantasizing throughout the day is a leakage of energy

    Really ? Your reply made me laugh out my ass off
    This Edging helped me to cure porn induced ED. I was able to keep myself away from releasing energy. I learnt how to work long time without distraction.

    Edging is giving me a lot of benefits now. After one year, I even don't feel any urge to masturbate. What would happen, If I didn't edge and masturbated , I would never able to achieve this recovery.

    That's true edging has enlarged my pirn addiction. But If something bad in short term bringa more good in long term, I want that bad again and again in my life. Thank you.

    I don't watch porn regularly. I broke 4-5 streaks of months and 2-3 streaks of 45 day or more than it in last year. But when I relapse, it takes a week to be normal and start a new streak. During this time, I watched porn at least 6 hours per day for 2-3 days then start a new streak and again relapse after 30 day or more. Thus this cycle is going on still now.

  10. When I was 21 years old I had almost a 3 month no masturbation streak. I would watch porn for about 30 minutes once every couple weeks though. And usually after watching I would have a wet dream that night or shortly after.

    I still felt better though overall due to not masturbating. But eventually fell into a regular routine of PMO again

  11. Concordo totalmente, esses caras ainda são cegos, o reboot perfeito não existe, abster-se de mo por 365 é muito melhor do que não se abster.

    Incredible progress man, especially at your young age. Trust me you will do great in life, now let's focus on getting rid of that pornography and healing your mind and brain.
     
  13. This is why I am afraid of quitting. I remember a week a while back I was going on seven day's, honestly had depressive thought's threw out the week. I know indeed that we are numbed from feelings and this is why we go threw flat lines... I'd rather endure the flat line first hand and reach happiness more then anything..

    Best of luck. The truth about rebooting is that you will experience some depression and severe mood swing in first month. After then, they will be very easy to handle. Sacrifice some months to be happy for years.

    If you want to be free do not look at it. Or anything triggering. My experience is that it just takes one excuse and you’re right back to the cycle of PMO.

    Hey, I can definitely relate to how you feel. I haven't watched porn or MO'd in almost two years but I've been battling depression and a lack of energy as well as a lack of motivation to continue. Have you thought about seeing a therapist? A good therapist may be able to help you get through this tough journey.

    Best of luck to you!
