Why is it that, once we realize what a mug's game it is and many of us manage to kick the habit, we walk straight back into the same trap? It is the influence of society's brainwashing of porn being conflated with sex and presented as normal. The ex-PMOer has a pang! The insecure void feelings of them being single, which in itself is not a crime anyway, causes anxiety and cues them to PMO water slide. This is indeed a curious anomaly, particularly if you consider this piece of observation: not only is every non-PMOer in the world happy to be a non-PMOer but every PMOer in the world, even with his warped, addicted, brainwashed mind suffering the delusion that he enjoys it or it relaxes him, wishes he had never become hooked in the first place. So why do some ex-PMOers envy the PMOer on these occasions? There are two reasons. 1. “Just one peek.” Remember; it doesn't exist. Stop seeing that isolated occasion and start looking at it from the point of view of the PMOer. You may be envying him but he doesn't approve of himself: he envies you. If only you could somehow watch (clinically) another PMOer. They can be the most powerful boost of all to help you of it. Notice how quickly they open many tabs and many windows of their browsers? They fast forward to their important minutes. How quickly they get bored of some clips and how quickly they run through the gamut of genres producing novelty, shock, anxiety, worry etc. Notice particularly that not only is he/she not aware that he or she is PMOing but even the act of masturbation appears to be automatic. Remember, he is not enjoying it; it's just that he cannot enjoy himself without it. Particularly remember that when he leaves to go to sleep after his visit he is drained of energy. The next morning, when he wakes up with a weakened will, lost energy, bleary eyes, he is going to have to carry on choking himself at the first appearance of stress and strain. The next time he has a pain in the penis, the next ED episode or a fading penetration when he is in the company of a non-PMOer, he has to continue this lifetime chain of paying through the nose just for the privilege of destroying himself physically and mentally. He is facing a lifetime of filth, bad mental health, stained confidence, a lifetime of slavery, a lifetime of destroying himself, a lifetime of black shadows at the back of his mind. And all of this is to achieve what purpose? The lying illusion if getting what you ‘deserve’ and the damned pleasure? 2. The second reason why some ex- PMOers have pangs on these occasions is because the PMOer is doing something i.e. self pleasuring and the non-PMOer is not, so he tends to feel deprived. Get it clear in your mind before you start: it is not the non-PMOer who is being deprived.

Just think for a moment. Wouldn't that be an incredibly stupid thing to do?

None of these are catastrophic for me as I have trained myself in cognitive behavioural techniques as discussed before but I did experience them quite often enough.

    The necessary preconditions for revolution2 are these: There must be a strong development of values that are inconsistent with the values of the dominant classes in society, and the realization of the new values must be impossible without a collapse of the existing structure of society.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>With all the brainwashing of our childhood it is quite understandable that we fall into the trap. Why is it that, once we realize what a mug&rsquo;s game it is and many of us manage to kick the habit, we walk straight back into the same trap? It is the influence of society&rsquo;s brainwashing of porn being conflated with sex and presented as normal. The ex-PMOer has a pang! The insecure void feelings of them being single, which in itself is not a crime anyway, causes anxiety and cues them to PMO water slide. This is indeed a curious anomaly, particularly if you consider this piece of observation: not only is every non-PMOer in the world happy to be a non-PMOer but every PMOer in the world, even with his warped, addicted, brainwashed mind suffering the delusion that he enjoys it or it relaxes him, wishes he had never become hooked in the first place. So why do some ex-PMOers envy the PMOer on these occasions? There are two reasons.</p> <ol> <li>“Just one peek.” Remember; it doesn&rsquo;t exist. Stop seeing that isolated occasion and start looking at it from the point of view of the PMOer. You may be envying him but he doesn&rsquo;t approve of himself: he envies you. If only you could somehow watch (clinically) another PMOer. They can be the most powerful boost of all to help you of it. Notice how quickly they open many tabs and many windows of their browsers? They fast forward to their important minutes. How quickly they get bored of some clips and how quickly they run through the gamut of genres producing novelty, shock, anxiety, worry etc. Notice particularly that not only is he/she not aware that he or she is PMOing but even the act of masturbation appears to be automatic. Remember, he is not enjoying it; it&rsquo;s just that he cannot enjoy himself without it. Particularly remember that when he leaves to go to sleep after his visit he is drained of energy. The next morning, when he wakes up with a weakened will, lost energy, bleary eyes, he is going to have to carry on choking himself at the first appearance of stress and strain. The next time he has a pain in the penis, the next ED episode or a fading penetration when he is in the company of a non-PMOer, he has to continue this lifetime chain of paying through the nose just for the privilege of destroying himself physically and mentally. He is facing a lifetime of filth, bad mental health, stained confidence, a lifetime of slavery, a lifetime of destroying himself, a lifetime of black shadows at the back of his mind.

Also notice that your failure to respond does not consist in doing something, or making an effort, or resisting or fighting but in doing nothing - in relaxation from doing. You merely relax, ignore the signal, and let its summons go unheeded. The telephone ringing is a symbolic analogy to any and every other outside stimulus you might habitually give control over to and now choose to very intentionally alter that habit.</strong>&#160;<a href="#fnref:1" class="footnote-backref" role="doc-backlink">&#x21a9;&#xfe0e;</a>&#160;<a href="#fnref1:1" class="footnote-backref" role="doc-backlink">&#x21a9;&#xfe0e;</a></p> </li> </ol> </div> @@ -3265,9 +3262,7 @@ when you were a PMOer. Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>With all the brainwashing of our childhood it is quite understandable that we fall into the trap. Why is it that, once we realize what a mug&rsquo;s game it is and many of us manage to kick the habit, we walk straight back into the same trap? It is the influence of society&rsquo;s brainwashing of porn being conflated with sex and presented as normal. The ex-PMOer has a pang! The insecure void feelings of them being single, which in itself is not a crime anyway, causes anxiety and cues them to PMO water slide. This is indeed a curious anomaly, particularly if you consider this piece of observation: not only is every non-PMOer in the world happy to be a non-PMOer but every PMOer in the world, even with his warped, addicted, brainwashed mind suffering the delusion that he enjoys it or it relaxes him, wishes he had never become hooked in the first place. So why do some ex-PMOers envy the PMOer on these occasions? There are two reasons.</p> <ol> <li>“Just one peek.” Remember; it doesn&rsquo;t exist. Stop seeing that isolated occasion and start looking at it from the point of view of the PMOer. You may be envying him but he doesn&rsquo;t approve of himself: he envies you. If only you could somehow watch (clinically) another PMOer. They can be the most powerful boost of all to help you of it. Notice how quickly they open many tabs and many windows of their browsers? They fast forward to their important minutes. How quickly they get bored of some clips and how quickly they run through the gamut of genres producing novelty, shock, anxiety, worry etc. Notice particularly that not only is he/she not aware that he or she is PMOing but even the act of masturbation appears to be automatic. Remember, he is not enjoying it; it&rsquo;s just that he cannot enjoy himself without it. Particularly remember that when he leaves to go to sleep after his visit he is drained of energy. The next morning, when he wakes up with a weakened will, lost energy, bleary eyes, he is going to have to carry on choking himself at the first appearance of stress and strain. The next time he has a pain in the penis, the next ED episode or a fading penetration when he is in the company of a non-PMOer, he has to continue this lifetime chain of paying through the nose just for the privilege of destroying himself physically and mentally. He is facing a lifetime of filth, bad mental health, stained confidence, a lifetime of slavery, a lifetime of destroying himself, a lifetime of black shadows at the back of his mind. And all of this is to achieve what purpose?

I could cope with the former and block my mind to the latter. As you are already aware, my method is not to frighten you into quitting but the complete opposite - to make you realize just how more enjoyable your life will be when you have escaped.</p> <p>However, I do believe that if I could have seen what was happening inside my brain, this would have helped me to quit. Now I&rsquo;m not referring to the shock technique of showing a PMOer the effect of the hidden attribute of internet porn on the reward circuit of the brain. It was obvious to me from my unreliable arousals, fading penetrations, lack of energy, unemotional sex (as in just a muscle twitch), hit-seek escalations of porn search for novelty and shock that something is not going right. None of these are catastrophic for me as I have trained myself in cognitive behavioural techniques as discussed before but I did experience them quite often enough. Practising CBT/REBT gave me enough grounding and stability to look at my addiction in a different and better way than I’d have if I were not aware of the cognitive biases. Provided I kept functioning, even at a mediocre level, they were less of an embarrassment than a lost tooth - at least nobody could see my mind.</p> <p>What I am referring to is the progressive gunging-up of our reward circuits with excessive stimulation, making them incapable of handling the normal stresses of life. Closing up of dopamine and opioids receptors does not help me in enjoying my life with enough vigour. Porn and masturbation has replaced the natural sexual appetite, like a candy bar replacing real food. The brain has no idea to differentiate one from the other.

Now the brain may mistakenly associate feelings of anxiety and fear as sexual arousal. This perpetual cycle is only broken by natural causes - fortunately sooner or later. With its free access and privacy it provides boundless harem-like novelty. The dopamine can be theoretically kept very high for a very very long time. I can be satisfied with one lobster once in awhile. But Internet porn is different. It is even worse than drugs. Don’t let me make you nervous. I will shortly show you how to be free from this slavery.</p> <p>Now our human body has a self-correcting system by which the number of dopamine and opioid receptors are cut short when frequent and daily ‘flooding’ of dopamine is detected.
