    Yes it does. It is very common and it can Last days/weeks. Do you have muscle tensión in your Back and neck? Go for a massage, it helps

    ofcourse it happens. I had possibly anxiety, depression, brain fog, anhedonia, dizziness, lack of focus --- all at once !! keep going with abstinence. Also better is to avoid all sexual activity and retain semen. It will help u to sail thru much easier

    yes, very common. But it does get better ! Its worse at first but then your sharpness comes back and its BETTER THAN ITS BEEN MAYBE EVER? Like when Im on nofap my brain can start making these huge lists and categorizing things, its awesome. But the fog will come first, because of the screwed up neural pathways.
    Watch "The great porn experiment" on youtube. It helps to learn some of the science for what PMO does to our bodies.

    It also happens if you relapse by masturbating to internet porn and having an orgasm or repetitively orgasming to porn. It can happen after relapsing to porn.

    It's not just something that happens after quitting porn.

    Brain fog was very strong for me in the first few months of abstinence from PMO
