I've been struggling through this like the next guy for a few months now, but tonight I found a strangely effective motivator. I told myself that if I finished all of my homework for the weekend tonight, I would allow myself to PMO. I finished it pretty quickly. The resulting PMO session was long and terrible, and I'm certainly not glad that I did it, but it did get the results I was looking for. Admittedly, I didn't have TOO much homework to do, but it was still enough that I'm glad I won't have to do it tomorrow. Again, I'm not recommending this, but I'd like to hear your thoughts about it.
Won't work. Limited to personal determination and willpower, which is the one thing that PMO targets and eats away at. Moreover, PMO will continue to inflict wild collateral damage to you and your surroundings. It's a beast that continues to grow the more you feed it, and it has an insatiable, demanding hunger. It's patient, but it never gives up. It will continue to find new, convenient, clever methods of staying in your life - and once it has one foothold, it keeps digging in deeper. Happens every time, without fail. There is no place for PMO. It can't be compromised with, or used as a bit of compromise. It's not a "reward" - it's robbing you of what you could have. Today, actually, has shown me this more than ever before. I put the beast to death under no uncertain terms just over a week ago because I was preparing for marriage with a wonderful girl. In just a few days, I began to see her in a new light. We still have three weeks to go and I'm finding my passion and my adoration for her is continuing to build in ways I thought were dead and forgotten in my heart. And this is just the tip of the iceberg (though an important tip to me). Don't compromise - and don't tap!
Can't put it any better than Weiland. It might work for you this time, but the overall strategy is flawed. Treat this like an addiction, because it's nothing short of one. That's like a heroin addict saying he'll finish his homework before he shoots up. See how long that lasts...
Masturbation as a reward for good behavior? This is a bad idea. You can't dance with the devil and not get burned.
It's almost like saying, "if I finish my homework on time, I will reward myself my setting my house of fire". Not a good idea at all...Stay away from pmo.
