    I used to focus better when I was in 8th grade, but now in 9th grade unfortunately I became addicted to pornography and masturbation for almost over an year right now and my focus is much worse which led to me not doing great at school and flunking my grades. I keep re-reading the same lines 5 to 7 times when I'm studying and I have trouble concentrating, I also get very easily distracted, unlike when I was in 8th grade I didn't have these symptoms at all.
    My question here is Can PMO addiction cause ADD symptoms or is it just a normal thing that happens as you age?

  2. This whole communities forums are FILLED TO THE BRIM with people saying it messed them up, their concentration, their focus in sports, their school years. Me included.
    Some pmo once, maybe twice a week, for 10 years they become average. Some pmo twice a day*, all year round, they become hobbits.

    I think lack of concentration happens because of PMO,i too have problems after PMO.
    Porn is evil(masturbation too,at least for me).
     
  5. It's because of hormones imbalance.
     
  6. ADD and ADHD are typically affected by environmental and genetics factors, not by changes in hormones.

    The body is a complex machine, supposing you're a man, you need testosterone as a confidence stimuli. The more testosterone the more confident you are. Do not mistake lack of confidence as sign of ADD and ADHD.

  10. I messed up with the spelling mistakes there haha. Fixed it.

    This guy "has" adhd : https://www.youtube.com/user/DynamicMentalFitness/videos now he is a sport and success coach.

    Teaches a lot of stuff for free. Mental concentration - a modern approach. Kind of similar to ancient concentration practices and teachings about buddhist jhana, etc.
    I find just his voice makes me focused and clear, lol!

  13. yeah obviously it affects... i know and i personally feel it when i left my studies and my brain whole time keep messing around to find some new variety of porn to feed something new to itself... and believe now i have absorbed so much of porn that sexual thoughts are like all the time in my brain... it just make my focus worse... all i know is to get rid of it so that i could revive my focus...

    Yeah me too, I used to have a lot of sexual thoughts when I was studying alot too, I couldn't stop them and I would go and relapse many many times.
     
  15. Pmo definitly made my concentration worse. I'm still not able to read a book in a normal speed. Before i was into nofap i read a some books. Since pmo haven read anything which was not necessary because it wasnt fun anymore. Let's see if it changes after withdrawel.
    I think it has sth to do with dopamine
