    Couldn't agree more. And this is true for other heavy addictions as well. I have seen the same behavioural patterns and mindset among alcoholics too.

    But pmo is cynical and self destructing in its own way.

    As soon as you ejaculate your killer instinct disappears, and it’s replaced with shame, regret, and self consciousness as if everybody knows what you have just done, and you’re counting the days afterwards to create a barrier from the relapse. PMO is a very temporary attempt to cure a void in your life. PMO doesn’t change the problem, it just sets you further back to actually solving it.

  5. So you haven't masturbated or looked at any pornography for 2.7 years?

    Are you still fantasizing in your mind? According to an author I am reading who has studied traditional Chinese medicine... fantasizing is a secret leak of energy. When we fantasize, we are actually losing energy according to traditional Chinese medicine.

    I'd say your next step is to cut out the fantasizing. To stop thinking about sexual things. When a sexual thought emerges from within your mind, then immediately stop thinking about it. Cut it out. Just like an expert karate master can chop a piece of wood with a hard strike of the hand, do the same thing to the sexual or pornographic thoughts when they emerge

    I am able to stop fantasy now but it was so hard to control fantasy in reboot early . I mastrbate couple of times but didnt watch porn or binge .
    Penis looks bigger and i can now make it hard by hand stimulation also . But still i dont have much libido for women . Hopefull it will come on its own mayb need more time . I am able to have sex but still not as libido as before not powerful libido .
    U think can harm the recovery and undo the newly generated receptors again . I dont get clear answer about this

    I am explaining this in a very simple way again why u r still going through this, the reason for your mood swings is your mind is still wandering to fill empty space created in mind after quitting PMO plus u r still suffering with sexual thoughts problems which means u still don't have full control over your brain and for that u need a strict schedule for meditation to control your thoughts in a healthy way.

    As I said before just leaving addiction behind won't help u much but u also need to replace all those bad habits with productive ones which produces dopamine in a normal and healthy way in brain just like normal human being does but if u still keep medicating yourself with sexual thoughts then the risk of having a relapse is higher and also u r telling that u didn't binge but u still doing masturbation sometimes so now this sometimes needs to be understood whether if this is not creating problem in your case because many people couple their masturbation addiction with porn fantasy although they didn't watch porn for long time which is also not considered so good for your brain.

    You just need to start learning how to control your brain and shift it towards other healthy areas of life.

    Because, I faced the same problems as yours but I do meditation daily for 20 mins twice a day and this has solved my thoughts problem regarding my sexuality upto huge extent.

    So, bro just find something meaningful in your life which pushes u to achieve some goals or good habits in order to fill the gap created by this PMO addiction.

    Let me tell u even a healthy person who didn't have any addiction issue also encounters with sometimes sexual fantasy but his thought r healthy in comparison with we addicted people so we r actually more prone to danger when it comes to such kind of situation.

    Our brains r only part of the body which is very plastic in nature and it can take any shape of thoughts of what u feed them. So you r the only master controller of your brain who can change the plasticity of your brain the way it changed yours from normal brain to addicted one so you can reverse this process by watching out your good n bad thoughts & re-write your memory.

    Porn is flesh used as a drug, and that high only lasts as long as you are taking in that image or having that experience. That’s why people get so addicted to it. They crave that moment, that becomes a large part of their time.
