    reward circuitry is irritated by online porn. normally that is dealt with instinct, a subsystem in our brains.
    there are ways to minimise the nonsense created.. such as
    masturbatry guilt
    stress
    thought disorder
    only reacting to your world instead of reacting and responding
    everyone has a different view which means in order to share ideas regarding coping strategies/ mechanisms you need to share the crutches.
    psychological crutches are ideas formed by the brain in order to make a coping strategy or mechanism.
    If you know how to make your own crutches then you are doing well. For the beginners we can share how to make crutches. For example

    ..... making a leap of faith is always a good idea..because if the idea helps you on your way, then all the better.
    ...... if the leap diddnt work you can just bin it..take no notice. noone was hurt in the process.

    i have just gone over 2 weeks with no OPM til last night. my reward circuitry overwhelemed my mind. ( which has its own reward subsytem... making babies. obviously everones got a different take on sex and sexuallity. i believe we are always in flux, going from one sex to another over a priod of a few lifetimes. this is nessessary to keep things new) i believe a crutch i can share with you is simply allowing the part of your mind that deals with sex reward (instinctual subsystem) to go back to sleep. Literally.. that area of the brain responds well to kind words and feelings of gentleness. Kind of like telling a small kid to go to sleep because its better for your your quality of dreams
    Another example of a crutch is
    .... training your mind to look at the world in a different way. we see the world through filters. you can quite easily overwrite the meaning to filters that were formed during traumatic experience.... you dont have to go through something bad to have traumaticly formed filters... just a misunderstanding will do that to you too.
    another crutch that worked for me is to avoid projecting my desires onto other people... instead of noticing someone as attractive... know that attraction is a lie. Of course sex is very important especially to lgbtq+ folks. Because those guys are simply adjusting their souls to play a different sex. when i say attraction is a lie... i mean the way you look at another person with desire is simply a filter you probably created during infancy and reinforced during puberty.
    People who you pass by are real if you show them respect you will be rewarded by yourself. this crutch has an affect on your subconcious area of yourself.
    Showing respect for everyone by not projecting to them is nessessary for another crutch to work.
    i dunno if it helps...dont panic. you are a very young avatar of an utterly ancient soul. and know that you have the answers within you somewhere... those answers can be found if you are polite and gentle with yourself. All you have to do is train yourself to ask yourself. all the best whoever is reading this.
    thanks for reading.

    love to you
