Redefining yourself without pmo.

Yes. I think afterwards I desire more homosexual relationships.

 

I think I know what you mean.

I looked at porn so much, that when I decided to stop there was this huge emptiness in my life. There's no amount of gym, cardio, social meetings or cold showers that will fill that void for me.

If someone could give us some insight...

 

I agree with what Anon said. You can always look outside yourself for happiness in the gym, social meetings, and cold showers, all that good stuff. And they are good. They all have a purpose and are beneficial. However you can make the analogy like this: if you want to get ripped, you don't start taking cold showers. That's ludicrous. That does nothing for getting tight, but it DOES help with disciplining yourself to acknowledge your feelings but not be ruled by them. Likewise, if you desire inner tranquility - yes the gym might help your self-image and such, but it's not the most effective tool.

In my experience, meditation and your own personal spirituality are key. Meditation clears my head and gets me back down to base. In my opinion, it matures you - makes me more of a man. And by your own spirituality I mean perhaps your religion, getting in touch with yourself through weekend nature hikes, whatever. For me, it's Buddhist chanting. Gives me goals and makes me positive whilst getting more in touch with myself.

Both of these aspects are key. I think. I could be wrong. Take my advice with a grain of salt and use what works for you.

 

Thanks, Anon and c-l-a-s-h.

It's really good to have a different opinion on these subjects.
For now, I don't now what to think, but let's keep on NO PMO and I hope my mind will become clearer.

And c-l-a-s-h, I appreciate meditation a lot, but can't practice for more than a couple of minutes.
As for spirituality, I don't really believe in anything, but let's keep on NO PMO. Also, really like you signature.
