Too loaded - any healthy way for PMO?

    I did 30+ days of no P, M and O (if you take away wet dreams which basically are O's but you know about them)

    Doing this for nearly a year and I made myself a 100 day challenge, but as longer this goes the more I think this isn't healthy. I think about shortening it... I don't feel like it's a challenge anymore, I can easily stay away from it by now - but it just doesn't feel healthy anymore because I can't find enough ways to bring my energy into productive things.

    I go to gym every second day, I started my own company to work on at the weekends, I'm doing good at work, I'm super happy with my circle of friends and family and my life circumstances in general... but doing all this doesn't kill off the pressure. I just don't have any sex life at the moment, girlfriend or otherwise. This makes the sexual pressure extremely high as I have no outlet. I think about sex literally all the time.

    I can feel all these benefits. High energy, good mood, emotions and impulsivity, dominance & respect from other people, self-discipline, and many of the other things people mention. And I'm glad I worked for almost a year to be where I am now. But I noticed that completely staying away from any sexual outlet destroys me after like 20-30 days.

    I want to know you're opinion...
    - is there a way / how to implement a healthy relationship with PMO
    - signs that you're ready to implement a relationship with PMO again
    - (especially asking people who are / were on NoPMO for a longer time) how did you manage this pressure? Did it go away? Did it forever stay that strong?
    And especially: Was someone of you able to implement a healthy and balanced way of doing P/M after rebooting?

    THANKS :)
     
  2. How about mindful masturbation. Porn is never going to work well for us again. I’m giving it up forever.

    It's really up to you man. If your life is great, why bother changing anything? Try to get a GF if you'd like to be in a relationship and M without P within some normal frequency (Chinese medicine advices once a week before 30 and twice a month when being over 30 yo) if your sex life is not enough. I'd advice you to stay away from porn. To us porn is like vodka to alcoholic or heroin to a drug addict. 99.9% of us can't view it in moderation. Personally I've completed 3 hardmode challenges (1x 84 days, 1x 100 days, 1x+200 and current 43 days) and every time only one PMO session was needed to get full blown multi months lasting relapse. I'd say stay on the safe side. Don't test your luck.

    As for pressure, it goes away after reaching 3-4 months hardmode mark. You want to have real life sex more than before, but have no cravings for porn anymore, except for some occasional flashbacks, which can be very dangerous for relapse.
