    Hello everyone, Im Nelas and I started PM in October of 2020 ,we may call it PMO as I was pretty sure I wasnt gonna get laid with Covid and quarantines in these 3 months.
    A friend pointed out to me that I may have had a porn addiction (which he was correct about). And Im proud to say that I left porn for good but I still have many questions left to be asnwered.
    I still have sexual urges from time to time that I dont give in not to even marturbate. 1.If masturbating is supposedly a healthy and normal behavior why shouldnt we do it from time to time? Not that I want to go back to was I doing before, but all on good measure doesnt seem harmful.
    2. I dont know if masturbating again as I complete my goal of 90 days PMO will harm what Ive accomplished.
    3. I want to re engage on sex but im afraid of the first time I go back I wont be able to endure much and have a bad comeback experience to it.
    If anyone could shine a light to any of this questions or share their knowledge and experience on it would be awesome, thank you all for reading.

    Opinions seems divided here about the harm/usefulness of M, some ppl will tell you to avoid it others to do it just about 2-3 a week(or month) and the same for sex.
    there are a bunch of "studies" on the subject you can also get them on https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/ which are anti-porn and one of the more academically oriented proponent of pro-porn -save for the industry- is David J. Ley (one of his article https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/...ed-believing-in-porn-addiction-you-should-too).
    My advice : know what you came here for in the first place, is it for you or is it to please someone else? do is hinder your social life? give you PIED? waste your time? Make you ashamed? ect.

    I came here because a friend told me about symptons of porn addiction ( which I didnt believe in) and realized he maybe right. I was searching harder and harder emotions as the usual stuff stopped being enough to get off to and even harmed my sexual life with some instances of PIED. So I decided to quit porn and stopped masturbating (which I did a couple of times back then) and I can say it has changed my life for the better. But I dont know if masturbating again will come and bite me in the ass and come all full circle or as I have changed, nothing will happen and all just keeps been good.
    Ps i had to delete the links on the links on the quotes to post this.

    BC you said you PMO'ed since October 2020? As in like for 3 months. For someone to have started PMO'ing they're usually very young
