    This came to my mind the other day so I wanted to see what you guys think.

    I suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for a little over a year back in 2015, that was when my PMO was at its highest.

    There is definitely a causal connection to one another since they're both in the brain and PMO is pretty compulsive.. no need to explain how it works lol.

    If anyone has a scientific explanation or an opinion about this, I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks!

    I think most people tend to do it out of habit... Usually there's nothing better else to do so you just M even if your not in the mood

    lol sorry I wasn't actually responding to your statement. I was just posting a general comment, didn't mean to quote you but I was too lazy to erase it.

    That's basically what I used to go through. Very interesting.
    Thank you for your response man!

  5. Wow, that must be really depressing. I had no idea that OCD aggravated PMO addiction could result in these behaviours! The only thing that sounds similar to this is the testimony of a member of NoFap long since departed. In conversation he disclosed some fetishes he found most disturbing, yet felt compelled to search them out (I remember bestiality was one). After he nutted to videos featuring his fetish, he was unable to leave it there. He had to finish on something more normal, just two people fucking I suppose. I do not remember him mentioning OCD. Maybe it was different for him, I don't know.
     
  6. I see. It was the fact that he couldn't just masturbate to porn once or a few times and leave it at that. It was that he was compelled to finish in the 'perfect' way according to his own tastes.
