Damage comes more from time than amount?

    Like you could PMO 5 times in one day and each session could last 5 minutes. But then another day you could PMO once and the session lasts over an hour.

    Surely the session that lasts over an hour is worse?

    When I just masturbate without porn it usually only lasts a few minutes. I am lucky if it lasts 5 minutes. But when I think about it even if I masturbated 5 times in a day and each time was only around 3 minutes, this would mean I only masturbated 15 minutes out the day. I never really thought of it this way. I would of thought oh god no I have masturbated 5 times today. But when you think about it for me that's not going to be more than 20 minutes in the entire day. Probably hardly doing much damage at all when you think about it.

    Porn is usually different for me though. Usually when I PMO there is some level of binging. Like I would say the shortest time would be around an hour if I PMO. I'd more class that as a binge, over an hour or something, or longer. I have had binges that go on all day.

    But yeah even if someone relapsed on PMO 3 times in a day and each time lasted 5 minutes, that would mean they only PMOed 15 minutes out the day. I'm not even sure you could call that a binge.

    It's just if I PMOed more than once I would of always classed that as a binge. But I feel like you need to look at the time you spent doing it. Because doing it multiple times and it only coming to around 20 minutes isn't as bad as doing it once and it being over an hour. I think it's more to do with the amount of time you have spent doing it, rather than how many times you done it.
