Mental Relapsing? Fantasy ? PMO (F)

Its not a relapse,its just your primitive brain reminding you that he is missing the old pleasure he was getting through pmo.give yourself time to fully 90 day reboot and try to link pleasure with other healthy activities.with time it will go away,but be careful it can come back any time if you return to old habits.stay clean from pmo for a lifetime and your brain will reward you.
And another thing,libido will come back in time depending on your previous period of pmoing,and its easy to link it with whatever you feel its normal for you,just remember that pmo isnt an option

 

Exactly,the problem with p is that it completely diverges your fantasy from your personal standards,and if you link that perverted fantasy with orgasm then your mind accepts the new images as normal,acceptable and desirable. We have to completely abstain from any premade evocative images in order for our mind to start creating again pleasurable images that correspond to our personal taste and character

 

Mental porn, you still porn.

If you think about what porn is, it is becoming sexually aroused from images that are not real.

Those images can be on the screen… Or those images can be in your mind.

It's the same drug, although fantasies are weaker version of the drug.

 

I dont think using sexual personal fantasy is bad ,as long as you can abstain from mo.it actually gives you one more personal drive . As with all things,it should be in moderation.
Of course, in time, when we use our brain mostly to educate and try to achieve all the goals that we consider essential to a fulfilling life then personal sexual fantasy without using artificial means becomes more controlled and leaves a pleasant taste without being annoying. It also depends on which phase is someone during a reboot .if someone thinks it isnt good for his recovery , he should try to abstain from it(as i do ,but i still remember the days before pmo when i could fantasize without losing control, oh those happy days...

 

Imagining images from porn would seem to be a problem. But I'm noticing that my brain is offering up a lot more fantasies about my wife now. That's new for me. And I don't see anything wrong with exploring those fantasies at all, as long as I don't push it to the point of MO. They make me want her more and if I keep her as my only outlet then those fantasies are part of my recovery.
