How many guys actually binge?

First of all what is PMO binging? I used to think it was how much you PMOed, but now I think it's something different. Now I think it's how long you PMO. For instance you could get one guy that PMO's 3 times in a day, each PMO session lasting 5 minutes, and then you could get another guy who PMO's once in a day, but the session lasts a few hours. What guy has binged more? I personally think it's the second guy. The second guy will of done much more damage. Really I think the problem is, and it's something I am extremely guilty of doing is stopping my self from ejaculating so the pleasure lasts longer. So basically I flick about hundreds of different content while masturbating, then when I am near ejaculation stop wanking my dick as hard and I somehow stop my self from ejaculating, then after a few seconds I continue. I'm not kidding my PMO sessions have lasted as long as 5 hours before I have ejaculated.

In another post I made I mentioned how I relapsed going on a PMO binge for 4 days, and I'm not kidding I basically PMO binged for the majority of the 4 days, having hours long PMO sessions every time. If you added up the exact time I spent PMOing in those 4 days it probably comes to nearly 20 hours. I mean talk about damage?

I am really starting to believe that this stopping your self from ejaculating and continuing to PMO for long periods of time is the biggest problem. Dopamine constantly keeps rising the more you search, find and wank. The brain is unnaturally high with dopamine when you do this. I have honestly become some what of an expert at stopping my self from ejaculating while PMOing. The sessions honestly usually last a minimum of 3 hours, and imagine doing this most of the day?

The thing is for the most part I have actually been doing really well at staying away from PMO for the most part. I have been on this journey a year and a half, I have had a lot of streaks and relapses. I have went through quite long periods of time not even caring about porn and artificial sexual stimulation.

I had been going through a tough time a good few days ago and do feel like I was using the PMO to take my mind off my other worries, and it was taking my mind off my other worries. But obviously now I do really regret this 4 day long PMO binge.

I always have questioned how some guys do get away with PMO and some guys don't. When I say get away with it I mean they're psychically still able to have sex, they don't have PIED. But then other guys who PMO can't psychically have sex because they have PIED. But now I am starting to believe the reason some guys get away with it is because they don't binge, when they use porn they PMO for like 5 minutes and then that's them done, and they have always used porn this way. Like I said if you done this occasionally the damage would be tiny. But then other guys like me binge on PMO for hours flicking about hundreds of different content before they ejaculate. When you think about it I think this might actually be the difference between a casual user and an addict. When it comes to alcohol a casual drinker can take it or leave it, they can have a few drinks and stop ext, where as an alcoholic can't take it or leave it, they binge on alcohol after they have a drink. Is this not basically the exact same thing that's happening with the casual porn user and the porn addict?

It does really worry me because how easily accessible porn and artificial sexual stimulation is. The real worry is it somewhat doesn't seem to matter how long the porn addict is away from porn, if they're triggered by it and use it a little they're highly likely going to go back to old behaviours and binge. It's the same if an alcoholic who has been on the wagon for a long time ends up drinking some alcohol, they will highly likely go back to old behaviours and binge. This is because addiction is a powerful learned behaviour, it's believed these neural pathways responsible for causing the addiction never truly go away completely, no matter how long you're away from it. You could be away from it for years and then if you're triggered in some way or use it then these pathways will heavily light up giving you that powerful urge to use again.

Like I said this is very worrying. There's a few reasons why this is very worrying. One is because we all have sex drives, we're not going to stop feeling horny. Porn is connected to our sex drives, even though for the most part it is the dopamine fix we're after.

Two porn and artificial sexual stimulation is everywhere, it's easily accessible, guys who are not porn addicts still like jacking off to porn from time to time.

Simply feeling horny could be a trigger to PMO, and like I said we're not going to stop feeling horny.

We don't have a natural drive to drink alcohol, we don't have a natural drive to use cocaine, we do however have a natural drive to reproduce, and even a guy who hasn't seen porn before or a guy who doesn't have an issue with porn could easily unleash his sex drive on PMO. This could actually be the reason why masturbation on it's own could be too dangerous for porn addicts these days. Most men porn addicts or not are going to prefer to look at porn/artificial stimulation when they masturbate much more than just using their imagination, and like I said porn and artificial sexual stimulation is instantly available and accessible these days. There used to be a time guys had no choice but to use their imagination to wank when they were horny. Even guys that had porn dvds/tapes/magazines back then, it was only like a drop of water back then compared to an ocean of water in terms of the difference in sexual novelty, and it's instant free unlimited sexual novelty these days.

It's sort of like what chance you got? Guys who aren't even porn addicts sometimes like PMOing. We're always going to sometimes feel horny, and that instant access to porn is always going to be there.

It's kind of like a cocaine addict trying to not take any cocaine with a kilo of cocaine sitting next to them. In fact it's actually much worse than that, because like I said we naturally have sex drives, and porn can even heavily turn non porn addicts on.

That's something else with a lot of guys on nofap, they seem to believe it's abnormal to be turned on by porn, like you have to keep constantly using it before it turns you on. Was there not a time you had never seen porn before and then seen it and were heavily turned on by it? I truly believe porn will always have the potential to be extremely sexually arousing, regardless if you have 100% rebooted or not, and like I said for us porn addicts that is really dangerous, because those old porn pathways will heavily light up if we're triggered by porn or use porn again, and unfortunately this might always be the case.

So it's kind of like a cocaine addict who is trying to stay clean living the rest of his life with a kilo of cocaine in his drawer. In fact it's even worse than that because of our natural sex drives.
