This might be MY cure for PMO but it needs more time to see the effects

    So on Monday or Tuesday I decided to do something that seems a bit of a suicidal thing for me. I looked up the Pictures of naked women and decided to face my fears of looking at it. Now this seems like an excuse to look up porn again but bear with me here I told myself that I couldn't live with the rest of my life being triggered by a Picture of a woman. SO, when I did that I told myself that these pictures are nothing but pixels or what not, and that I shouldn't waste my time with them. As I looked at the Pictures, I began to loose interest in them as if they were a waste of time and got bored. But I also accepted the fact that no mater where I go on the Internet there will always be pictures of women that will trigger me. This is my 3rd or 4th day since I did that experiment and so far the urges have been a bit less effected towards me especially Thursday night where I would always end up my PMO'ing, Its Friday night and the urges have come back and hit me with a surprise but went away after 4 minutes. This is just and little experiment that I did just to see what will happen to me in the coming days and REALLY don't recommend to anyone at this time. Ill be coming back for the next couple days to check in how's it been for me. (I'm on my 2 week streak) NOTE: has anyone actually done this besides me if so let me now.

  2. Interestingly, whenever I give up and decide to relapse I will actually do something similar to what you write. I will stop and become fully aware of my thoughts, reactions, and try to understand why I find PMO drawing me in. Sometimes when I become present I quickly lose interest and no MO occurs. I believe it is a mistake to relapse mindlessly because nothing will be learned from the experience. If I'm going to relapse, I want to be fully present and aware of what is happening.

    I also practice choosing my fate willingly; I am not a victim to the environment, or to my thoughts, or to my feelings, or to my mind. If I relapse, it is because I wanted to and I chose to and I will take whatever consequence may come from that decision. (Unconditionally embrace karma.) If we always think of ourselves as victims, then we remain powerless and are unable to change. This is the lesson that Mr. Miyagi taught in Karate Kid 3 when Daniel felt completely overwhelmed by his opponent: "It's okay to lose to opponent, must not lose to fear!"

    I completely agree with your comment and relate to it. And that's another reason why I would relapse, its because I would take in the consequences without thinking and let it happen and it would happen every 2 weeks for the past two years.
