    So TBH i don't know an alcoholic and i have never been an alcoholic.
    my main impression from alcoholism is that it is a daily struggle because they literally count every day (just like us pretty much).
    and another one is- if they drink once, it's very likely that they would go downhill again, much like in porn.

    What are your thoughts on this? Do we need like AA groups of our on?
    not to be negative but success rate of rebooting is low among users here.

    the main difference is, i assume, alcoholism will fuck your life up really bad while PMO being not less of addiction- will not.
    alternatively- alcohol will destroy your life in public while PMO destroys your life from inside you.

    Both are addictions and both work the same way in the brain. The effects of each might be different on the body, but they fuck up relationships, friendships, things related to work.

  3. Big difference is that if you enter a building and say "I've got a problem with alcohol", all people will cheer at your courage of admitting the problem, will offer you help, if you enter the same building and say "I've got a problem with porn" they will laugh at you, they will say you've got no problem and you're imagining things, because porn is "natural" and "healthy".
    So the main difference is that nobody see our problem as a real problem, they will just say that if we have a problem than we can turn off the pc, but you would not say to a drug-addict that he just has to avoid pushers and he will be ok.
    So we life in the shame, nobody say in here what his name is, nobody where he lives, how it looks like.
    Sex is everywhere, in all film there's at least a nude scene, we are seen as weird, so nobody want to take us seriously, because my friend, with internet, and IG, facebook, and so on, I think that at least 7/10 men have a problem with porn and masturbation, and admitting will ruin the comfort in which the world is living, in which many so-called psychologist say that everything is natural
    Watching P? Natural
    Watching weird P? Natural.
    Become obsessed with transgendered person because of P? Natural,it means you always liked them.
    I mean there's a statistic for my country (Italy) made by pornhub about what we search,
    the word "transgendered person" has incresead by the 1100%, I am not joking, just search if you don't believe,
    Do you think it is natural? Because I really don't think so

    Well, pmo addiction escalated and for some that means acting out criminally. Many pmo addicts lose their jobs, family, friends, so, it very much destroys you publicly.
