    Hey friends,

    I'd like to clarify on a major myth on the people who took abstinence from PMO.
    Firstly, no person can abruptly put a full stop to PMO who had been doing it for years. I have seen in many forums and even in few Youtube videos where guys claim that they had their last ejaculation for their life and had gone into rebooting mode for 90/360 days. That's a highly fallacious statement unless you have a considerable control of your brain like Dr.Strange. You need to be aware of the fact that relapsing a couple of times after abstaining from PMO is common and I view it okay. You just can't stop the dopamine rush inside your body which you have been habituated to, just like that. It takes time and there is no need to feel depressed when you have thoughts related to P or M. But this reason shouldn't be taken as an advantage to have lots of PMO. Its shows your poor mental strength.
    On the other hand, the number of relapses depends upon the mental caliber of an individual. It varies with the factors like how many years you have been viewing P or how far your body has got used to this practice.
    Well, all of my point is you have to have a good understanding with your brain regarding P and M. There is no point in getting your motive down, think long-term benefits and never get disappointed after your first relapse and treat yourself a failure. You should always remember you're on a right track and try to put all your max efforts to stay on it :)

    i watched porn when i was 14 and i completely agree with you
    watching porn is a habit and dopamine rush is the reward
    you literally never can forget a habit you just reduce the times of repeating that habit

  3. Well, i've not viewed any porn for over 3 years now, but i M from time to time. I think going full monk mode and becoming completely celebate is not actually natural. The porn, well no one is going to force you to watch it, although we all felt a very strong urge and compulsion to view it at points in our lives (else you wouldn't be here) these days i have no desire or will to view porn and i consider my process of release to be more of a natural thing not blighted by the endless novelty and time wasting porn brings. I think where people fail most often is going full monk mode early on, then after a few days they feel the urge and go back to their orignal coping mechanism which was porn. We've spent soooo long associating porn in our mind with masturbation that it seems you can't have one without the other, but you can!
