    Hello friends. I need your advice. I abstained from porn and masturbation for 90 days. If I masturbate after 90 days of abstinence, will it be good for my health? I'm afraid that I won't break and start watching porn again. Masturbation can become a trigger for me and I will break.

    It could trigger again the addiction mechanism, this happen to me many times. I feel like you will need more time, not iust 90 days…there is people here that can do masturbation without porn and is fine, but mosty of the addicts can’t resist to it and slowly go back on the void. So yeah for now your doubts about masturbate without porn are right.

    Thanks for the advice. I will listen to it and try to hold on until I fully recover. But how do I know that I have fully recovered and my brain has recovered from porn addiction?

    What changes have happened to you. In life and in psychological changes in the head.? I lasted 90 days without porn and masturbation, but I do not feel any significant changes. There is no joy, high mood.

    I’ve did 150 days due to bycicle trips and had no time to think about porn. That’s my real life. As I went back home returned slowly to stagnation. I’ve recently experimented masturbation without porn and it’s a great scam for me. Doing masturbation without porn seem to obstacle my recovery.

    The recovery time is an individual thing and depends on the experience and the number and content of porn videos that we took (watched). You just need to take the will into your fist and be patient. Wait for spring. And even better, find a girl and a job that will bring pleasure. A hobby that will distract you from bad thoughts and will take time..

    Yes, there is surely people that can handle masturbation without porn, but I suppose mostly of them didn't had all these fetish modern generations have. When I take it seriously I don't think to porn at all for months. Anyway I ask you to take care about that ''light'' (porn), lights can also blind....this is the Lucifer effect and how it scam you, it gave you some small amount of Light and then take full of you and bring you back to porn succub situation.

    My hobby is going to bycicle, since I live in the ''most rich'' country of Europe but couldn't find work like many youngs that live where I live, I manage it btw. I'm embarking myself for a new adventure in America this spring so I'll be busy. But now I'm dealing with the fact that Winter is shit and cold, and I did an arm operation so now I have to stay here without cycle or doing exercices for a while.
    Yes definitely you should take care of how many fetishes you have, but honestly I think you never lose the addiciton, you just need a ''tear'' of porn and risk to go back to the old addiction tracks if you don't resist to it, even if year passed, of course when time pass, the more you will be able to resist to porn and make the resistance a habit.
    Not easy to get a girl tho, where I live only old people and the girl are mostly hoaxed (because the good ones are hikikomori that never leave their home or they leaved this collapsed place where I live), thinking only to instagram or tiktok naked dances, getting like-dopamine, they always have smartphone on their hands, chatting, speaking, ecc...
    I use to read a lot, I use to go cycle and go to the nearest places with bikes (usually in summer I do 100-150km, and I don't live in a flat place) If I didn't lived in mountain I wouldn't have problems, but it's kinda boring climbing the ''everest'' everytime with the bike lol. Gym is boring, I hate stay inside a room when I have to exercice, I barely do home exercices. Did gym annual plan for two times and both time I got bored as the spring started (but I couldn't do a 4-5-6 months gym plan, only 12, this is the reason why it's a scam)

    I live in Ukraine. I think you are aware that we are currently at war. And this fact has a bad effect on me and many others, and because of this it is much more difficult for me to hold on. Daily shelling and victims. I am not a person from the current generation, I did not have it in my childhood Internet. Where I live, there are many girls who liked me, but when I had porn, I didn't pay attention to them, porn got used to me and I didn't like myself.

    I was in the restaurant like 20minutes and seen ukrainian girls lol, very cute :) Don't like that I have to maintain the porsche and lamborghini of their parents tho and give them some kind of subsides while they already have all the money they needs (Here where I live we allowed only rich ukrainians, while the ''unlucky ones'' stand out, I've barely seen old cars, 99% were just ferrari, lamborghini and porsche. I feel we have let only the oligarchs in while people like you have to stay out. Anyways is almost the same everywhere, if you have porn you don't feel like you need girls and pass your entire day in your room playing nerd computer games, masturbate, ecc...both videogames and porn give you an amount of dopamine you wouldn't find in nature. Doing just masturbation without other stimulation is better than porn, but you risk to go back to the old tracks.

    Unfortunately, this is how it is for the rich, everything is possible, they have money to start a new life anywhere. But most people have money earned through corruption. Ordinary people have nowhere to go and go to war. There is a lot of injustice. The war showed who is who. In a word, porn is evil and it is better to tie with him forever. So viewing brings a lot of pleasure, but it is better to replace it with other methods such as sports, walks, communication, meeting people. I feel that I will not return to porn, I hope. I will wait until spring and there will be less free time.

    Masturbation in moderation without porn is ok after 90 days of abstinence.

    PMO is 70% psychological, 20% neurological and 10% physical damage.

    Neurological damage takes 14 months to recover.
    Psychological damege takes years.
    There is nothing beneficial about PMO. It is just escape and avoidance.
    You're better off facing whatever it is that pushed you into PMO in the first case. That's the healthiest you can do for your life.

    If you've abstained for 90 days, why are you considering masturbating? Why not just keep going?

    Forum users will have testimonies all over the map in terms of how much time they needed to "feel better" ... but Patrick Carnes, the pioneer of sex addiction research, suggests that it takes 3-5 years for the brain to truly heal it self from a hijacked dopamine system.

    I quit looking at porn and did return to masturbation. It's by far less frequent but there are times it's pretty obvious that I need to blow off steam.
    If I am truly "horny" I shouldn't require porn. The unfortunate part of this method is that about half the time I try to masturbate I don't finish. Walking away when porn could "help" is the hardest part of masturbation without porn.
