Is not watching porn enough?

I wrote this earlier, somewhere else. It has to do with what you are saying. It has to do with all of us because it is all the same. Maybe you can catch the meaning.

I want you all to know that this is much, much more than our lustful desires. This situation in which we find ourselves in evolves from deep down into our core and only manifests itself as seeming temptation of the skin. Be weary and heed this caution: we must first grow up and learn about manhood before we attack any single issue in our nature.

Along the way in life, along our great journey, we will discover an enormous amount of character traits, faults and unforgiving situations that lead us astray. All of it falls under the cloak of life and our maturing in it. Remember, as an army of individuals gathers 'round to become an army of one, each must face a personal quest while all along being put to the same test as your brothers. Becoming an adult, and more specifically becoming a man, is built on hardships. I want you to face them graciously, WE want to face them graciously, with a smile.

We are all different ages and different maturities, different and varied levels of understanding. But, never forget that while we appear to be different on the outside, on the inside we are still climbing up over the hill of struggle, only to find that it never actually ends.

Our destiny is to take that struggle with honor and courage. We then teach others about what pitfalls lay ahead. That is why this is more than you, more than your personal struggle and yet still our success demands that you actually conquer yourself. That private arena is where it all begins.

Now let us rally together and start climbing. We now know this hill has turned into a mountain, and this mountain will soon be covered in what we ourselves must face. Knowing this is liberating. Anticipating this demand will give us the drive to keep going. Use that drive, grow into the real you and merge yourself with the very mountain you hope to be liberated from. You can't end this without loving the sweat and pain of hardship. And besides, what glory is there in a life without scars?

Your story does not have to be told. Your lineage does not have to go on. But you must achieve victory. Some how, in some mysterious way that victory will help others. It has so for myself and it is so for you.

Porn-Free Mode: Abstaining from Porn

“Porn-Free Mode” or “P-Mode” only requires that a rebooter abstain from looking at pornography. P-Mode rebooters allow themselves to masturbate and have orgasms (with or without a partner). While this mode is not as commonly practiced as other modes, some members arrive at the conclusion that watching pornography, and only watching pornography, is their problematic sexual habit.

P-Mode has its own pitfalls. While abstaining from the superstimulation of pornography is undoubtedly a good idea that will help the brain recover, we speculate it may take longer for a true reboot to occur, since a P-Mode rebooter is still bathing their reward system in dopamine by masturbating and having orgasms.

As with PM-Mode, rebooters who still allow themselves to orgasm should be prepared to experience the “Chaser Effect” (see Pitfalls, below), which is a period after having an orgasm where some rebooters are more apt to be triggered.

One common symptom of excessive masturbators is a desensitization of the genitals. This can be caused by a desensitization of the nerves or to a thickening of the tissue of the genitals, and is attributed to the intense stimulation hands or toys can provide, especially over long masturbation sessions. This symptom, known as “Death Grip,” often clears up after a brief period of abstinence from rough or otherwise intense masturbation. We recommend that P-Mode rebooters train themselves to touch themselves more gently or use toys that provide a more gentle, “natural” sensation for the duration of their challenge.
