Would learning about how porn addiction works on a psychological level increase the chances of an addict overcoming their addiction?
Understanding the problem is not just improving your chances but necessary to heal. Otherwise you will blindly attempt one streak after another not knowing what you are doing wrong. Learning and changing are the key
Also learning about all the criminal activity that goes on behind the scenes has helped me as well. Again, it is up to the individual. Some might not care how porn addiction works just the effects it is having on their lives is what is motivating them to finally deal with their addiction. For me, it was all three: learning how porn addiction works on a psychological level, learning the criminal aspect of porn, realizing the impact the addiction is happening on my life - all this has motivated me to quit PMO.
I don't think so really. I've read every nofap post - ok obviously I haven't but any new post is basically a variation on one I've read many times before. Read all the YBOP articles, watched all the videos etc etc. I'm still finding it harder than ever to quit. Yes it's good to educate yourself but I wouldn't say it's necessary, it's still got to come from you.
It doesn't seem like either of you @Whicee or @OhWhenThe have read anything I wrote. If you're having issue quitting PMO then quit only P and reduce the amount of media you use. Not knowing what you're doing will result in struggle and failure. Just hours ago I wrote a post that's below this one which is https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/what-is-porn.295620/ It should help.
No offence but no, it doesn't help. I avoid all of those things you listed as I consider all of them to be porn. I literally said above that I've read everything there is to read about nofap, there's nothing you can tell me that I'm not already aware of. I know how this addiction works, I know why I fail but it still doesn't make it any easier. I've gone two months before, I can do it, it's just hard. As for your advice of only quitting P, well that is useless to me. My libido is pretty dead, my body doesn't want M or O, my brain just wants P, if I were to MO I would be doing so unwillingly therefore it would serve no purpose.
