The Lord of the Rings Challenge

not only on 80th day. i see on my experience and from others experience, that when a special time landmark is coming or is surpassed, there´s a increase of risky confort behaviour. it´s the significance of the day that make brothers soften their strategy.

it´s a huge trap that can lead to the start of a relapse. don´t care for the day you´re in bro. just follow your strategy as always and you´ll be allright

 

those kind of records makes my day. congratulations bro . keep going and don´t let your guard down . Onward!!!!

 

that´s my girl!! Congratulations sis, keep going!!!

 

very good bro, but that´s only half the work. you know that pmo is not the answer to stress, but now you need to know (and practice beforehand) what will you atually do when you feel stressed. it´s super important.

 

it doesn´t bro. pmo will give you a punch in the face and present you with a bandage to make you feel relieved. it´s the ultimate illusion. read easy_peasy for more details

"5.1 Scientific reasoning

There’s publicity the other way, sexual dysfunction scares, loss of motivation, preferring virtual porn to real
girls, YourBrainOnPorn and various internet subcultures, but these movements don’t actually stop people from
using. Logically speaking they should, but the simple fact is they don’t. Even the health risks listed from peer
reviewed studies on YourBrainOnPorn aren’t enough to stop an adolescent from starting.
Ironically, the most powerful force in this confusion is the user themselves. It’s a fallacy that users are weakwilled
or physically weak people. You have to be physically strong in order to cope with an addiction after
you know it exists. Perhaps the most painful aspect is that they place themselves as unsuccessful losers and
insufferable introverts. It’s likely that a friend could be more interesting in person if they hadn’t put themselves
down for seeking self-pleasure.

5.2 Problems using willpower

Users quitting using the willpower method blame their own lack of willpower and ruin their peace and happiness.
It’s one thing to fail in self-discipline and another to self-loathe. After all, there’s no law that requires you to be
hard all the time before sex, properly aroused and able to satisfy your partner. We’re working on an addiction,
not a habit and at no point do you argue with yourself to stop a habit like golfing, but to do the same with
porn addiction is normalised, why?
Constant exposure to a supernormal stimulus rewires your brain, so building a resistance to this brainwashing
is critical, as if buying a car from a second hand car dealer – nodding politely but not believing a word the man
is saying. So don’t believe that you must have as much sex as you can, all of it being exceptionally good, using
porn in it’s absence.
Don’t play the safe porn game either, your little monster invented that game to lure you. Is amateur porn
certified by some authority? Porn sites gather data from their users and use it to cater to their needs, if they see a uptick in a certain category they’ll focus on it and get content out ASAP. Don’t be fooled by educational
intent or ’safe’ female marketed clips. Start asking yourself: “Why am I doing it? Do I really need to?”

No, of course you don’t!

Most users swear that they only watch static and soft porn and therefore are fine, when in actuality they’re
straining at the leash, fighting with their willpower to resist temptations. If done too often and for too long,
this depletes their willpower considerably and they begin failing in other life projects where willpower is of great
value, like exercise, dieting, etc. Failure in these areas makes them feel miserable and guilty, cascading and
kicking them back into pornography. If this isn’t done, they’ll vent their anger and depression onto loved ones.

Once you become addicted to internet porn, the brainwashing is increased. Your subconscious mind knows
the little monster has to be fed, blocking everything else. It’s fear that keeps people from quitting, fear of
that empty, insecure feeling they get when they stop flooding their brains with dopamine. Just because you’re
unaware of it doesn’t mean it’s not there. You don’t have to understand it any more than a cat needs to
understand where the hot water pipes are, the cat just knows that if it sits in a certain spot it feels warm."
