    Hi there guys,

    been on monk mode since a while, i think more than 3 weeks.
    been addicted to porn since i was 17 (now30) and PMO regularly up to 1-2 times per day.

    Got to a point where the pain was too big to handle and i knew i had to stop immediately challanging my self to quit PMO and start living as a real man!

    First question:

    I noticed that since i stoped do PMO i do not feel the urges to masturbate and watch porn again, i think that is because i started to work out and eat healthy and that keeps me busy.

    also when i encounter a porn image on internet i do not feel any urges...is that strange or not?

    is it a sign that i'm recovering from PMO?

    isn't too early to see such big change?

    2 question:

    Do you think is the same think if i watch NORMAL pics (no pornographic/no nudes, just normal pics) of girls i dated in the past or ex-girlfriends on my phone? is that count as porn?

    3 question:

    since i started to recover i do not feel any UGE difference than before...yes, my confidence increased and i more willing to do shit (job,work out,etc)
    but i was expecting something more...like way more confidence, do you think it's still to early to feel anything?

    waiting for somebody to answer my questions,

    Thanks.

    You will be happier, finding enjoyment in small things again. But don't expect to magically fix you overnight, it's a long progress. Do not look at anything that could trigger you, I personally delete advertisements with just a slightly revealing pictures

    1. I think you're experiencing a flatline, a period of low/absent libido. It will go away. Don't watch porn to check it though, it's a way to relapse.
    2. Normal pictures of people you actually know are okay. The distinction is simple: if it arouses you, it's a porn or a porn substitute; if it doesn't, it is okay. But beware that after some time even pictures of girls in bikinis or tight jeans can become arousing. Urges are inside of you, and in order to rewire your brain, you better stop viewing people as sexual objects. The way you look at people matters a lot.
    3. Don't expect too much out of just quitting pornography. It takes much more to feel better.

    About number 2, you mean that even watching girls in street(well i mean the ass and stuff) is like viewing them as sexual objects ?

    @Freesoo, well, if you only see them ass their bodies, yes, it is objectification. But at the same time, I think it's okay to appreciate their bodies if you don't stare too much and if you are being respectful to them. So, glancing may be fine, but ogling is not.
