    I just want to put this out there, probably alot will disagree with me but i am not one to get upset over that, i am here to help when I can and share my true feelings. Alot on here stress the point that you are to not just quit porn, but throw away a normal body response that your body has been designed to do since you hit puberty, abstain from any type of orgasm. While maybe helpful to some, I feel alot on here who say they are stressed and have high anxiety is bc of this reason, your shutting down one of the bodie's normal responses and it's going to react to that, Now i on the other hand have decided to stop porn, camming sites, sexual images, and any artificial stimulation I can think of but still have M & O with only myself. This has been a positive thing for me, and instead of being in love with crap ass you know what, I am actually falling back in love with myself. So me personally, quitting everything just to get rid of porn is not the right idea, your actually punishing and torturing your body and mind instead of reprogramming it to longer want or need porn. See how that can easily work against you? You need to enjoy yourself in it;s natural loving form with just you and it, no pc, no phone, no nothing else or with a partner, your body wasn;t made for porn and you don;t need it. Your body also wasn't made to cut off something that is not bad, not ugly, not disguisting Porn and other artificial stimulations are the enemy here, not your body.

    I respectfully disagree. We have to decide to never look at porn again but to stop MO for a period of time to let our body heal from all the abuse. If you still MO after giving up porn, eventually it will lead you back to porn. How? If we have been addicted to porn for years, we associate MO to porn. Many of us won't be able to orgasm without porn. This process is called rebooting. I'm at 80 days no PMO and while I did feel ages, the first 30-45 days, it is much easier for me. Full disclosure: I am 59. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had surgery to remove the prostate and ALL the cancer. So some ED was because of that. I honestly thought my sex life was over. After not PMOing for two and a half months, I'm beginning to see signs of life. I've had a few morning woods too. I never thought that would happen again especially at MY age. Now that I'm seeing all the positives of giving up PMO, I know now that in addition to prostate cancer surgery making me sterile, I had PIED. I am giving my journey another 10 days at least. Then I'll reassess. I may MAY return to MO but never to porn. I will make that decision after I hit 90 days.

    Well glad PMO is working for you, and happy you came out of prostate cancer ok, that is bad stuff. Like I said, ok if you disagree and glad the way you feel works for you has worked wonders for you. Alot are not like me, I have a very high will power to stop anything if I am motivated enough and this site gives me that motivation so I feel I can stay away from porn forever with just MO, but in no way should anyone do this if you feel it harms you. I have quit some very hard drugs cold turkey that usually take years of professional help, so for many I understand your reasoning freedom
