    Just a reminder to stay motivated to keep your distance from watching bad images and the self-harm.

    Shortly said, the first 5 minutes of fapping(including watching footage) are a pleasure and recognition that it's supposedly good. After that it is actually about 48 hours the opposite, the regret of those activities. This can also be logically explained because all the substances that provide that pleasure are consumed a lot in a very short time, then it takes a while before it is reloaded again and that's very clearly noticed. Although I have mentioned it before, due to its relevance, it is worth mentioning that there are also long-term consequences. Receptors play more of a role in this, which have decreased in number or become inactive due to overuse.

    Due to the regular exploitation of the nervous system with the help of the pr0n/fap, the tolerance that occurs requires increasingly intense and strange stimulation. People are going to push the limits in the types of pr0n, but also beyond with risky and weird actions. The desperate quest to get the remaining receptors to work.

    But the good news is that it also works the other way, a few minutes a day resisting the urge, followed by a way longer time of satisfaction of beating the urge. The same goes for the long term. After a specific period of abstaining from the bad habits, which is different for everyone depending on the degree of the bad habits, the way the neurons are wired can be reversed because of the process of neuroplasticity.

    After that period the mind should be wired in the state it had before starting PMO.
