So about a month ago I started my latest attempt at quitting pmo and just sticking to mo. I figured it would be a good way to clear my head while not getting the usual issues with not o'ing, which is my prostate starts to fucking hurt. It went well until a few days ago when I started to relapse. So of course I am trying to stop but mo is just boring now. It worked well for about a month but now it doesn't really excite me. And actually getting a gf is not something that comes at the snap of the fingers. What do?
Go hard mode. None, no P, no M, no O. No PMO. If you wanna take me up on it, you can. Treat it as a challenge with yourself, and you'll want to beat yourself. Each and every day. Good luck!
Your brain is trying to manipulate you, if masturbation starts to feel boring its a good sign because its something thats not natural, using porn is like injecting steroids in a problem. I started my journey on a serious level in 23 jan, exactly as you I can't go hardmode yet, but I made an oath that I will remove porn even if I masturbate. I went 10 days but I cheated once or twice because of memory reflex I didn't masturbated tho, after 10 days I decided I am not going anywhere counting days and being bombarded with tempations, so I decided to masturbate once in two weeks and till summer to advance once per month. I am timing the masturbation in such a way that I will be very busy the following days, I will take a cold shower and it will be before sleep so I am not doing it twice. All I am trying to say porn needs to get removed, even now after 13 days and a new 3 day streak I am bombarded once in a while with porn images, the older the memories the strongest, but when it starts I just shuffle them as fast as I can and dismiss them. Probably I will have scares in my brain for years if I go this road, but watching porn it prevents you to live the life the way its supposed to be, we are the first to experiment technology and we are not aware it is a knife with two edges. My next relapse is programmed in 15.02, I will see if I really need it. I don't wanna push too much because my reward system is fucked as it is because of porn. I will take 2 years of slow progress since I am into this for over 20 years and I am only 27. Not all of us can hardmode from first day, but you shouldn't fall in the tempation if you relapse, you need to go again and again even if is 2 3 days streak. I am trying to control it because I want porn removed asap, I feel I need a foundation to grow up, not just counting days and then back to porn. If you really lack activities and days are long and boring, go for workout, its miserable first weeks if you are not a workout person but it will become addicting after 2 3 weeks. I don't have a gym here, but cardio is really good and exercises for posture, bet your posture is crap because of porn addiction. If you want I can give you my playlist, you will get wrecked.
Yeah man, I suggest going no PMO as long as possible. If you still masturbate and orgasm, it just gets boring and you'll divert to more stimulating stuff eventually. If you go 30, 60, or better 90 days of no PMO you'll have better control of your body. Go 100% in my guy, totally worth it!
