Do not stop masturbate !

    I quietly do not agree with you. The think which I want to emphasize is that if you just stop some addiction or some bad behaviour, some thoughts which are ruining your life ... it is not the solution. The problem is still there! You have only hide it to the cellar of your mind where the beast waits and grow stronger. Instead of that you have to realize it and actively transform the very essence of that thing so it no longer hount you.

    As an examle I enclose part of the conversation with my friend:

    I remember a technique from tantra which could be helpfull to you :) as it was helpfull to me. The technique relates to transformation. I will give you some metaphoric examples. Imagine a figure from play dough which scares you. Take the play dough and transform it into some figure which brings you joy. Or another example you have a knife which was used to kill somebody and you will never touch it. But then suddenly a dog attacks you and you have to defend yourself. You grab the same knife and this time it saves your life and you look on it in a different way now. If you see the point you transform the nature of the knife :).

    How can it help you with your desire to feet problem? You just simply takes the thought: "When I look to women feet it makes me horny and I have to masturbate" and transform it as if you play with the play dough to: "When I look to women feet it reminds me that I have to smile and be happy :)". Or you can create another sentence. See :) it is easy. I can explain it more if you want.

    The second thing relates to you thought: "I have no girl and therefore I am looser or I am worse than others". This is not true. It is lie which creates your mind. You have to understand that you do not have to believe every thought you think. Idetification with thoughts is your ego = your mind = your conceptualized identity = your mental image about yourself, but not the real you. You in real is the space in which the thoughts flow :). You are the clear sky and thoughts are the clouds. I like to recommend you to watch some of Eckhart Tolle videos on YouTube.

    Do you see the point :)? So if I likened the masturbate to drinking of alcohol. I think that anybody can get rid of his/her addiction to alcohol and still occasionally have a bit of alcohol without getting drunk and start to booze again. If he can´t do it the problem is in his mind. Or in the other words "you are the only person who can change yourself and the way you wish". We are still speaking about masturbation here. If we were addicted to some hard drugs I would hardly recommend anyone to occasionally take a drug!!!

    I used to think masturbation was ok and I was looking into Taoist practices of orgasm without ejaculation etc. This was years ago when I first got PIED and didnt know what it was. I now think that masturbation desensitises the penis to normal intercourse therefore I plan not to go back to it. Everyone is different and has different reasons for doing this, but these are my thoughts.

    :-D ... because of the reasons that I wrote above this statement. Read my last post again please. I have tried the transformation with many other things it and it works for me and for my friends also. You do not have to believe it but if you dont try it you dont have any other opinion than never masturbate again. But then it is like if you stop running because it damages the joints. You can do that but you are limiting yourself. You can stop drinking alcohol and coffe, sweet drings, eating sweet, overheated fats, fastfood, salty meal, saturated fat, stop smoking, driving fast, going to vote because it dont change anything, saying rude words because it is indecent, speak with children about sex because it is tabu, don´t use any public transport because it destroys our planet, stay in your home it is safer then outside......................

    DonB's question was regarding your former post tibron - the closing paragraph of which I have quoted ^ in this message. I do not think DonB's question was about masturbation, but specifically about your theory to do with alcohol addiction.

    Alcoholism "is characterised by an increased tolerance to and physical dependence on alcohol, affecting an individual's ability to control consumption. These characteristics play a role decreasing an alcoholic's ability to stop drinking."
    Prognosis "In contrast, however, the results of a long-term (60-year) follow-up of two groups of alcoholic men indicated that "return to controlled drinking rarely persisted for much more than a decade without relapse or evolution into abstinence." There was also "return-to-controlled drinking, as reported in short-term studies, is often a mirage."

    Please forgive me @DonB if I misread the implication of your question to @tibron who advocates psychosomatics. o_O

    I honestly think you'd do yourself a great service by looking at the biology of addictions. It's all well and good saying an ex alcoholic could have a drink if they could control their thoughts by transformation or whatever, but the point is one drink is all can take to fire up those old neural pathways in their brain and bam, they've drank 10 pints and are on the floor. They could forget all about transformational thinking in that moment as those strong urges and highs kick in and they think to hell with it.

    That's why addicts relapse hard, whether it's alcoholics, heroin addicts, or porn addicts. Those old neural pathways which were controlling their addiction fire up in their brains circuitry and they slip back into old ways very fast. In short, addictions like PMO and alcohol hijack the brain.

    Your viewpoint is very idealistic and actually very dangerous. If you approached ex-alcoholics by saying they could occasionally have the odd drink by changing their thought processes and they were stupid enough to listen to you then I guarantee many would relapse in a bad bad way and be addicts again. Especially alcohol has it seriously effects your decision making ability, even after one drink. One drink can lead to 10. How many of us have gone out and had one drink and come home after drinking 4 or 5? And that's the more stable of us. I dread to think what would happen if you did this with an ex-alcoholic. Just ask the ex footballer George Best, he was clean for a while after a liver transplant, but all it took was one drink and he was dead from drinking within a very short time. I very much doubt transformational thinking would have saved him!! Similar for porn addicts, let them have 1 PMO session and the chaser effect could kick in and overpower them, where the old neural pathways in the brains reward circuitry fire up and want to release more and more dopamine. Many users can go on long streaks and suddenly find they're back to square one if they let themselves have one session by binging. Others can be stronger and get back on track, but it's a risky game and one you shouldn't advise. Transformational thinking sounds similar to things I've read and practised in my psychology major but it's only one tool from many I'd recommend to people battling addictions, often we need a number of strategies to keep urges at bay. And I'd certainly not recommend it as a tool to tempt an ex addict out of retirement for reasons mentioned above.

    Anyway, masturbation. Most of us here refrain from masturbation for many reasons but one is that it's closely related to P. Your brain will associate the 2 together in it's reward circuit in an unhealthy way. If we masturbate, it could easily lead to P and we're back where we started. We're trying to reboot and rewire our brains here and to be honest, perhaps none of us will masturbate again. It's not that masturbation is a bad thing, it's just that we've abused it by associating it with P so it's not really an option for many of us. Perhaps some of us will after a reboot but as someone here mentioned, the real goal is to find a real partner to have sex with, not our hand.

    I get your view on tantra, but to separate O from E is a hard thing to master and we're recovering porn addicts here who are trying to stop any kind of sexual stimulation, especially if we're on hard mode. Perhaps this is something I'd like to try once I'm rebooted, clean and have a real women to practice the technique with, not whilst I'm trying to abstain from orgasm altogether.

    I understand you :) ... I just suggest why not should try to learn how to use more than 3% of our brain? Is this not a perfect opportunity? We can be glad that we are not addicted to hard drugs. So why not to use this life situation as an opportunity for growth? The whole life is about evolution. About trying things which seems impossible until we succeed. Am I not right :-(?

    I hear you, but it's probably not advisable to practice these tools with addicts. Sure, use transformation thinking to build up confidence approaching women, or building up a businesses or whatever. Or perhaps even as a tool help overcome addiction (but not one to tempt us out of our dry spell). We could use tantra to improve masturbation if we're not addicted to P, or to improve our sex life with our girlfriend, but it's probably not a great thing to try and master if we're trying to get clean from a porn addiction because of the strong link between porn and masturbation in our brains. Sure, give it a go if you're not bothered about getting clean from P, but this is a porn recovery website.

    And for people like me, this is the hardest addiction I've had to quit. It's still in the brain like hard drugs like crack but also extremely difficult to quit as P is so readily available and free.

    Also many users who are getting clean expand and develop their brains in many ways by taking up new and exciting hobbies and careers with their new found energies, improving their social skills, meditation and, for another example, building strong self-discipline by resisting P urges (which consequently increases the grey matter in the brain's pre-frontal cortex).

    I have skim read this posts and I am going to tell you both - Tibron and Jonathan you will never reach success if you think by doing any of the above is going to help you to stop PMO. You have completely missed the point of this whole site imo.

    Yes :) now I agree with you. As was previously mentioned, this is anti-porn website and not anti-masturbation. As what the porn recovery is conserned we are on the same ship man :). I am just trying to come with new point of view which could help to some of us. It doesn´t matter which way you choose. We all have same aim and that is stop ruining our life with porn.

    But the one thing I still have to oppose is the "resist to P urges". Maybe I am too much affected by Systema which brings the concept of non-resisting to force and instead of transform it. Because it suppose to always encounter stronger opponent which obsessions are. But that is just my choice of life style and I don´t want to obtrude it to anybody although it probably looks like :-(. I just don´t believe that you can´t resist to an obsession or physical force forever without weakening in time or destroying youself. Imagine the situation when you will try to resist to punches to your belly. In my reality the obsessions are the punches. I am redirecting them, transforming in something other :). But never trying to resist or even suppress them. It will be like run directly into the punch.

    I think I have exhausted all my ideas :). Thank you all for your oppinions and wish you all good success in what ever you do.

    PS: You see Sam Knight do not agree with neither of us :-D. As they say how many people that many ideas :-D. Set sail my friends destiny awaits ...

    Nice to read your thoughts tibron,
    That inspired me right now.

    I relapsed today after a 40 days streak, but feel confident about it. Your words just proved that for me, they gave me strength.

    Thanks man

    My friend :-D in my opinion Sam Knight would be an awsome goulash cook. I have never seen such an proffesional "ein topf".

    His whole concept is totaly nonsense :-( in the way how it is writen. From elementary school text books you can read that Chyle does not create Blood. Blood is created by Bone marrow and its purpose is to distribute nutrients and waste products throughout the body. You are right about that Food creates Chyle but then fat is created in liver and then stored in fat cells. Bone is not created by fat but it is created by bone cells ... and so on.

    My dear Sam Knight and programer. I sometimes wonder about your frigid religion and level of knowledge :-( as you slapping higgledy-piggledy. Your opinions are not supported by scientific research nor by professional books. And by that I mean exact name of relevat research or relevant book, authors, date of release and page. Moreover your opinions can be easily disproved by textbooks from elementary school.

    Anyway cells making sperm does not consumpt blood. The blood flows in vessels and by filtration is made lymph from which the cells absorb all substances necessary to life. The other thing is that by simple logic we can't say that 40 drops of blood equals 1 drop of semen because composition of blood differs during the day and is different for each person.

    I agree that "Semen is the real vitality in man. It is the hidden treasure for man. Just imagine the power of semen, it has the ability to give another life and it is wasted." So I say do not waste it by simple having an orgasm without ejaculation. The wet dreams or your girlfriend will take care about the rest :-D.

    BTW by having faith in god which one do you mean. My gods does not agree with you.

    I don't mean to be rude, but I think you are exaggerating a bit.

    1. Masturbation does NOT lower testosterone. There are plenty of guys who masturbate, who were even porn addicts, yet still managed to build muscle mass, which you cannot do without a good testosterone level.

    2. You need to realise that not every guy who faps is an addict, and those things you listed don't come from occasional masturbation, they come from excessive masturbation and excessive porn use.

    3. Your body doesn't know the difference between ejaculating while masturbating, and ejaculating through sex. If you have sex everyday, the effects will be just the same if you masturbate everyday, as long as you don't fap while watching pornography.

    4. Men are made to ejaculate, and it would make no sense that the men that get to have sex often would show a lack of confidence and experience detrimental side effects. Ejaculation isn't bad for you, neither is ejaculating regularly.

    5. One of the biggest traits of being a healthy and fit individual is that your sex drive goes up, and if you're in a relationship with a person who also has a high sex drive, you will likely have a lot of sex. It would make no sense that nature would grant you a high sex drive while you're healthy, and then make you feel like crap for having sex often.

    Again - There's a big difference between regular ejaculation, and excessive fapping while watching porno.
