I don't watch porn, however I would like to know the benefits of quitting MO by itself. Do you get the same "superpowers" as you do from quitting PMO? I already went 2 days and this my third day without MO. So far, I don't notice much.
I have read from a book called " Porn Circuit Covenant Eyes" that watching porn itself without masturbation perhaps might not lead to addiction.. Because your brain reacts to dopamine (Neuro Chemical) released after MO. If you watch porn before masturbation, your brain learns and adapts to the fact that watching porn leads to masturbation i.e. dopamine and thus you get hooked by porn. Every time your brain wants you to watch porn, it tells you that I need the dopamine you better get it by MO. The fact that you are only addicted to MO will have the same effect if you quit it with or without porn! You might find it easier to quit if you are not watching porn though, because porn can make it harder to quit!
I am old enough to say that I MO'ed many years before P was so available and private. I do believe MO has had a very negative effect on my life, especially being a male. I can say my best years were the years I didn't MO mainly due to not having the time or desire because I was out in life in relationships. When you are having sex all of the time you don't have the time, place, or need to MO. But once I settled into doing MO (pretty much daily after marriage and kids) I feel it effects your energy, confidence, happiness, and calmness. I always had anxiety and never peace. Well, now, I have all of those, in fact, I can be a calm beast at times. I have sex with my wife and experience non of those things, I MO, bam! I get all of them back. So I believe there is a big difference between MOing and PIV to O! Keep trying, at least go 14 days and see how you feel, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
Hmm... I dont' think dopamine is only released after/during orgasm, I think it builds up before hand too.
You just have to Wait Atleast 3 Weeks to See Benefits.. i am on day 48 now .. And In my Journey it took 25 Days then i started to see benefits

True, but I think the argument of the book was that it reaches its maximum level during orgasm and such the brain associates porn with orgasm or pleasure, making it harder to break
