    Recently, I feel aroused by porn stimuli such as body parts like my arm or pictures online. Do you guys think it's OK to watch to them just a bit for a while (without masturbating/orgasm)? Taking a bit doesn't matter, am I right? I'm asking this because I felt like it kind of helps to relieve stress so maybe it won't cause the negative effects as long as I do it at a low frequency and in moderation.

    Give your recommended advice. Or, am I wrong but it's best to be 100% porn-free? I already got rid of the addiction to masturbation/orgasm but still find it a bit difficult to quit porn completely especially whenever they appear in front of my eyes then my brain will be automatically aroused again and doesn't want to forget/stop because of the nice sexual pleasure/feeling...

    NOPE IT IS NEVER OK.

    I'll just say you a thing what are you gaining by watching porn?Just a false pleasure which lasts for a few min and then takes you to hell.

    What is the result of watchin P,just encouraging porn industry to make money which again encourages addicts like us,feel them damn fucking as you I feel. And indirectly your are encouraging others to lust so that they think of your sisters daughters in a lustful way.

    JUST THINK BRO,HOE MANY PEOPLE DID YOU LUST THESE DAYS WONT THEY HAVE BROTHER'S SONS WHO WOULD FEEL IF IT WAS DONE TO YOU.

    PORN DESTROYS LIVES RELATIONSHIPS FAMILIES COUNTRY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU AND YOUUUUUUU.
    JUST PHUCK PORN.

    And I'm not even supporting the thing that encouraged to lust my sisters,daughters NOT even a FEW SECONDS.

    It's important to be honest with yourself and do what you know to be best even if that's not what's easiest. Is porn ok in moderation? Maybe it is maybe it isn't. All I know is that finding real love is so much better and porn directly conflicts with that. For me there is no middle ground. I have to give it up completely or I get out of control. I just have an addictive personality. For instance I was going to start smoking in moderation but next thing I know I bought an ounce and have been smoking 1-2 times a day. Anyway why play with fire when you don't have to? Give it up permanently for awhile and see how you feel. I promise if you go 90 you will be glad you did and probably want to keep going.

    That's like smoking addict saying I will put cigeratte in my mouth but will not light it. Why put cigeratte in your mouth when you don't want to smoke?

    Why watch Porn when you don't M or O?

    ok let's assume that you have 100% self-control over it and you will not MO. PMO not only physically numbs you (by release of prolactin and delta fos-b), it creates wrong mindset - objectification of women, unrealistic situations and is designed for only camera angles. It releases lot of dopamine artificially which is harmful.

  5. You're 40 days in, you should know that it's not okay. Two things you said alarm me; 'it helps relieve stress' and 'I already got rid of the addiction.' It lures you in by making you think it relieves stress, but it causes nothing but stress in the long run. I always tell people that just stopping PMO will not work in the long run. You need to find new, healthy ways to relieve stress. Or you can just take the pain for a long period of time, and at that point simple things will bring you pleasure and relieve stress. I'm honestly speechless about the second thing you said. Maybe I misunderstood you, but if you truly think that, you will relapse very soon. If this isn't an addiction and you can truly view porn in moderation, then why are you here?

    Think about this You have 3 ways of doing this Nofap thing,

    "easy" mode which is P you only abstain from Porn which is the first level
    Normal mode which is PM Porn and masturbation, Porn is still included in this step, stay away from it!
    And lastly Hard mode which is PMO Porn, Masturbation and orgasm, When you participate in Nofap PORN is the most important thing to stay away from, you can't watch it at all that's the foundation of this. NO PORN.

    What you're really saying is you are not addicted to PMO, you get aroused by watching P which you still do sometimes. So you've been abstaining from Masturbation and Orgasm for 40 days. you still come back to the most important thing which is PORN.

    Porn is the great evil here, you can cure youself of this addiction with doing MO and abstaining from P not the other way around.

    You have to quit Porn if you're ever going to rewire your brain in a healthy way.

    Being abstinent from PORN is the fundemental thing everything else is just a boost to get healthier quicker.

    As for the second thing I say, let me clarify. I mean I have got rid of the addiction to masturbate/orgasm but still haven't successfully overcome porn addiction. Hope you get what I mean now.

    I'm currently struggling to quit porn but it's kind of difficult because the arousal feeling to it is so "tasty" and strong which keeps luring me even if I try to stop those thoughts.

    if your addicted to porn.. you always will be brother... its down to you to decide if you want to play Russian roulette..
    also if you arent releasing in anyway.. and are watching porn and getting aroused... your balls must hurt brother!
    Before I really focused on what I needed to do I also was sometimes watching porn and not M or O.. my balls were killing me at times.. and eventually I failed... of course.

    Have you really gone 51 days... No M or O and your still watching porn?

    I think it really is depend.
    You must be honest with yourself: can you keep a consistent lets say once a week of porn time, and it will stay stable for years on, means you are in control and well... thats barely count as an addiction.
    disclaimer - when times are tough, you can find yourself developing this to an addiction.
    But if you are addicted to porn (you are here so that's my guess), realize that this is a serious addiction and its a steep slope, watching porn once can become watching porn for the rest week/s and the struggle to quit hits again and then its going in circles for you.

    If you want to straight a bend metal rod, dont bend it to be straight, bend it to the other way, its a bit harder but this is how you get it to be straight again.

    Yes, I've really gone 51 days without M and O but still exposed/aroused to porn. I'm currently struggling to get rid porn of my life too but it's kinds of difficult because every time I see stimuli/images/my own body parts/etc. or get porn dirty thoughts, the feeling is so strong, "tasty" and attractive that makes me aroused to porn/the stimuli. That nice addictive pleasure feeling is making me addicted to it/watch it....

    your balls must hurt bro!
    I know when I was 'gently' watching porn without M or O.. everytime I got really aroused and stopped watching etc my balls would ache like mad..
    This is why I question your 51 days in a way.. its not a pleasant feeling to keep doing that whilst your not M or O.. but hey maybe thats just me?

    And of course the choice is yours brother... if you want to justify using porn thats your call.. I know I cant use porn.. as that just keeps me in that cycle.. and by the sounds of it your struggling to contend with it..

  18. I'm sorry man but I don't buy that. Sounds to me like you're trying to separate two different parts of your addiction to make it easier. If you "got rid of your addiction," and you truly believe that edging isn't just one part of PMO, then I'll ask again, why are you here?

    If you want to get through this completely, you have to come to the decision that Porn HAS negatively affected every aspect of your life and prevented you from living the life you should have been living. If a drug addict said "I'll only do coke on the weekends," what would you say to them? When you make exceptions to your rules, what you are really doing is just cheating yourself and hurting others whom care about you. I want to see all of my brothers and sisters who struggle with this addiction to be freed from their chains and live the life we should be living.

    If you pray, pray for me and my struggle. If you don't, Ill still pray for you and yours. .
