Objectively speaking, is excessive PMO bad? Is recovery just a placebo?

I'll give my thoughts on this.

If we were to take a look from a second-person perspective, we can see a PMO addict living a life normally.

But I'm quite sure that's not the case. First, there are problems with energy.

If we could see our lives in bird-eye perspective for years, we could count how many hours we've wasted time looking at the screen. Hundreds? No... even thousands is possible.

PMO as an activity requires energy. It burns calories, leaves sweat and exhausts the body. Once or twice a month? Sure, but it's a different story for an addict for hours every day, for years.

So, surely, the body expended more than it receives.

Secondly, it's a matter of mental energy. Dopamine dopamine dopamine, of course, consumes resources. It doesn't come out of nowhere, it needs something to be created.
Not only that, if one as an addict fantasizes for hours for years, the imagination used could be major strain for the brain.

This might be the reason why there's a brain fog. Perhaps, the brain is just exhausted for the excessive dopamine.

PMO became an essential thing like food. It occupies part of the mind where it's supposed to be filled with something. It's like an abstract cancer, slowly eating us out, a poison, drying our soul.

Therefore, in summary, PMO brings both physical and mental strain overtime.

This is my argument to bring the problems of PMO closer towards objectivity. This is not backed with any scientific basis, but from pure experience and logical explanation based on my knowledge.

I'm quite sure it's not a placebo effect too, but some "superpowers" can be overexaggerated from certain biases.

But indeed, recovering from PMO is more likely to be good than a placebo, or bad. Don't feed the cancer.
