Benefits of No PMO
1. No social anxiety;
99% of time relaxed, calm, cool; easy to be sociable. If I do start to get nervous I think, "What do I have to be fearful about?" And I get calm in about 1-2 seconds.
2. More attention from opposite gender -- without trying
3. No brain fog;
can concentrate easily. Can think clearer under pressure.
4. Increased
motivation & energy to get things done.
5.
More Stamina -- can hang in their longer at work (be tough) and complete projects; can work overtime, while others can't
6.
No fears; high levels of testosterone = strength and don't take bs. (No one has messed with me in 52 days +.)
7. More time for
good/productive things. Not wasting time going to phony porn sites; fapping to pixels; lusting, etc.
8. The opposite gender increasingly becomes
less and less of a priority.
9. Improved Confidence -- (online comment) "
porn and masturbation lowers your self-esteem and confidence"
10.
More Respectable -- (online comment) "
if you resist the urge to masturbate -- a practice that is generally condemned -- you are likely to feel more respect for yourself; and others will respect you more." We all can quickly tell if a man or woman is fapping ... nervous ... weak … fearful … has shame [trying to hide something] …
11. Improved
Creativity and
Resourcefulness
*Somedays are so-so … and some are difficult due to "flat line". But your daily progress is motivating and inspiring to you & others.
