Is watching Porn and not masturbating more harmful than pmo ?

i had this same thing happen to me yesterday, it caused a relapse.

i was watching models on instagram and even though i scroll for a while the urge does get me. it is strongly recommended that you stay away from screens when you want to watch.

also to answer your question: it is equally harmful because the cravings get really bad

 

Long starring at a monitor with filthy material on it is harmful in its own way and will eventually lead to back into the PMO trap

Please delete the instagram app from your life

 

and then what? be disconnected completely? i buy things online from there m8. just because there's one bad house in the street doesn't mean you set the neighborhood on fire

 

Yeah sure Instagram is a well based community that is a good market place and is always willing to fix problems, no disagreement there.. just that it’s direction since it’s birth has always been more skin, more likes, more viewings.

 

that is pretty much the concept of social media. all of the platforms do it; facebook, snapchat, reddit, twitter. The thing is, sometimes i just want to scroll through memes, updates and aesthetics without a single "model" popping up. but yes, deleting instagram for a week or two does not hurt

 

My first attempt at reboot was done with just no masturbating. That ended after 2 weeks. The reasons behind my reset was that I didn't quite understand why I was watching porn as always, but not masturbating, yet I still suffered from PIED. It made all the sense in the world that if I kept myself horny all the time I would automatically be able to get a super boner for the Mrs. It doesn't work that way. What happens with watching porn is that it reprograms the brain to recognize 2-dimensional images of sex on a rectangular screen as the norm and views real, 3-dimensional images of woman as an after-thought. So the more you feed the brain those artificial images is the less likely you will be able to perform with a real woman. Masturbating creates a different problem. It reprograms the brain to prefer the more pinpointed, self-performed rhythms of masturbation. Real sex just no longer compares. Then the subliminal messages from the brain justifies masturbation as being safe, convenient, and less demanding. Put all this together and a woman is fighting a losing battle. So to answer your question P is just as bad as PMO, if what you are looking for is normalcy with a woman.

 

There is nothing wrong with masturbation in moderation. The ultimate culprit is porn. A porn addiction is only the symptom of an underlying problem which needs to be addressed.

At the end of the day, we are sexual beings, who have sexual urges. Those urges shouldn't be managed through unhealthy outlets like porn. They should be let out through masturbating (which is normal and natural), or by having sex.

 

When I start NoFAP, I quit fapping, not porn. I had sleeping issues, I wasn't know how can I sleep without fap/cum before sleep. So, I was watching porn, didn't touch myself and try sleep. I realized a fact: I was like a child who is without his mother, children are anxious without their mother and porn was a mother for me. Only porn made me feel comfortable. For me, P is harmful than M.

 

You don't need to uninstall Instagram. What you just have to do is, unfollow profiles and pages that potentially triggers you to PMO. Instagram isn't always about partial nudity, obscene, etc. There are good things in Instagram too. Follow only those pages. And other shopping pages you might need. Start reading books. You don't have to force yourself to read as much on day one. Just start with one page a day. Baby steps. Surround yourself with positive vibes. These small, simple things determine how much you change as a good person.

 

Watching porn is always harmful. Stop watching porn. It will mess you up even if you don't masturbate.

Even without masturbating, watching porn keeps you stimulated. Why would you do that to yourself? You know the answer, of course: Because you're addicted.

Think about smoking. The way to stop smoking is to get rid of your addiction to nicotine, not to keep on having nicotine. It's the same with the addiction to heroin. Or alcohol. Or porn. The solution to porn addiction isn't to keep on watching porn, but to stop watching porn.

Delete your entire porn stash. Close all online porn accounts. Ask your ISP and phone provider to block all adult sites.

Good luck!

 

Dude Porn will kill you both literally and figuratively

Stop whatever you are doing and read about its effects short , medium and Long term

If you keep watching porn heavily , I-will guarantee that you will end up killing yourself

 

The thing is, Watching Porn just doesn't affect your semen and all that. It mainly takes a toll on your brain. The whole point of NoFap is to rewire your brain from urging for porn. It doesn't matter if you masturbate or not.

 

Yes it is buddy,you should stop porn too.Porn give you big dopamine rush,PMO=Is even more worse,but porn is something equal to that,might not the same but very bad thing.
