  1. Wow, no pun intended? Hahaha.

    In all seriousness, I'm writing as someone who quit PMO over three years ago. If I were to still have a counter it would be at well over 1000, but I shut it off long ago.

    Anyway, it does get easier, you develop much more willpower and so many other interests and hobbies and ways of dealing with various urges and energies.

    However, I am here to tell you that right now I have a strong urge to PMO. A very strong urge. So I still have to exercise my willpower. It's something we all can do. But damn, this is intense. I can hardly focus on other things, but what's important is that over three years ago I made a choice not to give into this no matter how difficult it is.

    Think about that if you're plenty shy of 90 days. Your own mental strength is the solution to this, not some magical disappearance of the porn on the internet, the urges driven by your physiology, or the circumstances that have you without a healthy sexual relationship right now. Nothing changes but you, but you can change profoundly.

    I think I'm teaching what I need to learn, because damn, I have a really strong urge to fap right now.
     
  2. Teach me sensei. That is an amazing feat and sobering to realize that you have to stay vigilant. One day I hope to reach super saiyan status. Stay strong!

    I think urges never can disappear because we are human and we will always have sexual impulses but our brain for years was satisfied by pmo. Anyway i think it is not important to focus on disapper urges but on fill life with some else. For example I have alwys strong urges from 2 pm to 4 pm because for years I was alone in that time. So I learned to break the urges doing something simple, pleasant in that time as having a walk in the nature. We can nevere lower the guard, with a harmless image everything started and with another harmless image could start again
