    Hi there. Idk are you still reading this topic, but it’s damn right. Recently I also got insight and came to this, after i started to study how do work human brain. So it's very simple to me. And I also talked with one therapist, he also says that urges are just energy (neurotransmitters), and there is no point in waiting for them to end, because we are starting all this just for more energy in life. Energy is equal to the joy of life. Quitting PMO is all about learning to live at a higher energy (dopamine) level, not aceept low battery level as tired slave have. This understanding took me about three years full of failed attempts, but now I feel the pleasant excitement that only the best things is ahead. There is only one thing that worries me a little, I once found the term like "porn flashbacks", but for me it's more "hentai flashbacks", where I especially remember one female character. It is quite difficult to live with such thoughts, because your object of desire is unreal, you will not go on a date with her, you will not hug her, etc. Hopefully this will pass, as will some acquired fetishes. I wish you success on the way guys.

    Hey man, I've always felt that the urges were something I craved, because it made my O feel way better, but you are true - Since I enjoy those urges, I should use it to motivate myself to do something useful and beneficial for me, instead of just fighting the urges. I suppose its like making a turbine to generate energy out of that river of urges, instead of just making a dam of Nofap and forcefully blocking the river of urges with resistance.

    Your post motivates me!

    Well written and explained. I forgot what it felt to live with those urges (arousals) all those years ago before pmo. I will apply the channeling my sexual energy to getting things done.

    Can you change your profile picture? It's evil. You can change it to a good profile picture instead.
