    I believe when an urge reaches the surface, then your body is rewiring itself, instead of just saying "it's your brain" I see our entire body as a whole entity. I believe in thought field therapy, which centers around any psysical defects are rooted in some form of emotional trauma. EFT. I will not go into deep detail on this, since it is off topic. I have concluded that in the face of suffering, that is what creates new mental pathways. An urge of sexual impulses, view it as exercising, pushing yourself to exhaustion will manifest later on. Give your body a reason to change. Anything worth it, takes a lot of willpower, time, and times of suffering, ( just temporary of course )

    They will always come. It's an instinct to produce, but you can turn that energy into something productive in the process.

    Haha, what's normal.. The urges never really go away. But, when you abstain long enough the urges will weaken and loose power.. So, in the beginning, it's heavier then over 10 months.

    it helped me a lot, when i really have strong urges, to make a mantra of all the reasons why I don’t want to do it. As a porn related thought or image came up to my mind I count from 1 to 6 and backward and visualizing the numbers. I just count and visualize as long as I need to get rid of the porn images or thoughts. This does two things.. Namely, it get's your mind of the porn and... it helps your brain make need pathways not related to porn (rewiring). I really noticed that after 3 weeks of consistently doing this, the images began to weaken... And afterwards, when the images or thoughts are gone, i do full the mantra 6 times.. and my mantra is about 30 reasons;)
