    Hi everyone,
    I just came here to share my point of view about how to get rid of the horrible addiction called porn.
    In my point of view, masturbating is not the problem as long as you do it without porn and about 2-3 times a week max.
    I've struggled many times to quit Porn and I've relapsed as many times. Every time there was a stage I had a flat line and my balls hurt so bad I just had to go back to the same shity thing of PMO. I couldn't made it through 2 weeks.
    So in the last try I begin with the same hard mode of no PMO and I felt like shit again because of the flat line. So after 10 days when it came to the point I was about to relapse again, I masturbated just from my thoughts. I've decided I will limit myself to max of 3 times a week and just if really have to.

    Since than I'm feeling much better! I just started to date a new girl and it's going fantastic, I wake up hard almost every morning (which I haven't in years) and I'm feeling so motivated. It's been a month and I'm not even thinking of watching porn because my life got so much better without it and without the downside of having flatline.

    It's important to point out the I'm also exercising, eating healthier, meditating and try to be much more positive and productive. It's a combination of things, if you want it to succeed then you have to replace bad habits with good habits!

    So for all of you that fail time after time in the hard mode, just know there are many different ways to succeed, try them. You know yourself better than anyone.
    And be good to yourself, sometimes we demand much more from ourselves than we would from others. We are just humans and it's ok to fail as long as we try to understand what were the causes and try our best again, but this time smarter.

    Good luck everyone, I hope we all succeed in our journey to get rid of this horrible thing called porn.

    Thank you for this. I agree orgasm and masturbation is not the problem... porn is the problem. I think masturbation is a real healthy part of sexuality. Limiting M to a couple times a week is good because you can still enjoy a lot of the benefits of increased energy and saving your nut. Plus you can fantasize about girls you've been with or your chasing... this is so healthy. I've committed to 30 days hardmode... but am deciding on what to do after. I definitely want to chase girls but probably will also go back to limited M and O

    Thanks for discussing what worked for you!

    Nicely done! I have to say this is so true...! My actual relapse shows how true this is... Had the experience of this, Porn is the 1 Problem!! I just watched P beginning of the week without touching myself and it destroyed all (!!) my good energy, psyche & physically! While the weeks before I had powers in creativity and sports, even if I didnt release my balls I was tired and unmotivated the whole week, just thinking bout sex....
    had strange feelings in balls & stomach... walked around like a hurt & hunted deer... yesterday I M'd without P because of all that strangeness and funnily I feel a lot better again now.... Feel I can start fresh & natural again...
    so better jerk off in joy 3 times a week than jerk off on porn 1s a month!!!

    Just my two cents: Abstaining from masturbation has several benefits. Here are a few off the top of my head in no particular order:
    • You stop thinking so much about sex and begin to look to more from life than just sexual pleasure.
    • It does wonders for your willpower. Willpower is like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger it gets. Abstaining from M is good excercise.
    • There is a difference between masturbating and having sex, and your brain understands that. Masturbation is easy, and when push comes to shove you'll masturbate over trying for sex. You can't totally control the primal urges of your brain, but you can teach it to only get what it needs from a healthy and overall beneficial source. Masturbating does nothing for you, except give you some pleasure. Whereas having sex with your partner, has numerous benefits.
    PS: I'm not against masturbation, but understand that it's a slippery slope, especially if you're an addict. Unlike other drugs, porn is never gonna get out of your system. All those videos and pics are gonna stay in your head forever. If you imagine porn and masturbate, it's almost as bad as watching porn itself. And as a long time addict, it's very easy to fall into the trap of imagining porn and masturbating to it, even if I don't really want to, cause in the moment all my body desires is pleasure.

    Me? Well, in general, absolutely, my imagination is beautiful and powerful and the more I use it, the more I eventually have better pictures in mind than from P. I wouldnt have bad conscience from just Masturbate without P. So its less unhealthy for me.
