Secondly, avoid the trap of thinking, “Somehow I have just got to abstain for three weeks and then I will be free.” Nothing magic will actually happen after three weeks. You won't suddenly feel like a non-PMOer. Non-PMOers do not feel any different from PMOers.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.</p> <p>The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn&rsquo;t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society&rsquo;s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.</p> <p>If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure.

You have almost nothing to lose (a rub-out with half arousals) for sure, chances of big profits (a full and reliable arousal, mental well being and happiness) and no chance of losing big (unreliable full arousals, premature ejaculations, fading penetrations, loss of general impulse controls, lower tolerance for frustrations and anger).</p> <p>Why not declare your quitting to friends and family? Well, it will make you a proud ex-addict, ex-PMOer, not an elated and happy non-PMOer. It will scare your partner a bit since they may see this as an effort to have more sex, sort of a new-age thing. They may also fear to lose you if this turns you into sex machine. It is hard to explain to them unless they are open minded.</p> <p>Any attempt to get others to help you in your quitting gives more power to the little monster of addiction. Pushing it from your mind and totally ignoring it has the effect of trying NOT to think of it. As soon as you spot the thoughts, when you hit the cues (home alone) or just absent minded thoughts - just say to yourself: “Great, I don’t have to do it like a slave animal. I am free. I am happy to know the differences in sex.” This will cut the life of the thought and will deny oxygen to it and will stop it from burning towards urges and cravings.</p> - +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-30-can-i-compartmentalize/">⏪ 03-30 Can I Compartmentalize?</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-32-the-easy-way-to-stop/">⏩ 03-32 The Easy Way to Stop</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div> @@ -3893,7 +4010,12 @@ when you were a PMOer.

I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart.

Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping. These realizations will become positive additional aids to help you achieve what you really desire to enjoy the whole of your life free from the slavery of the porn habit.</p> -<div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-01-the-worst-pmo-addict-i-have-yet-to-meet/">⏪ 03-01 The Worst PMO Addict I Have Yet to Meet</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-03-why-is-it-difficult-to-stop/">⏩ 03-03 Why Is It Difficult to Stop?</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div><div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> <hr> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> @@ -4988,7 +5254,12 @@ Some people find it annoying that I am so dogmatic about certain recommendations <li>FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND Do not take anything for granted.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.</p> <p>The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn&rsquo;t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society&rsquo;s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.</p> <p>If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure.

Whereas if you say, “If only I can survive three weeks without a PMO,” you will be dying for a harem visit after the three weeks are up.</li> </ol> <p>Sexual dysfunction has a lot to do with your brain and your mind frame. Internet Porn rewires your brain’s reward circuit and gives your mind a ‘doubting’ mind frame. This self doubt will undoubtedly cause your sexual dysfunctions. Having all the desire in your upper part but putting up no arousal in your lower part is the worst thing to happen to your mind frame. Libido going hand in hand with romance is the elixir of youth that you can have until you die. You will keep the probabilities high by quitting.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal. I believed that energy was the exclusive prerogative of children and teenagers, and that old age began in the early twenties. I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters.

The main reason is that PMOers are convinced that they get some genuine pleasure and/or crutch from porn and believe that they are making a genuine sacrifice if they quit.</p> <p>The beautiful truth is that once you understand porn addiction and the true reasons why you PMO, you will stop doing it just like that - and within three weeks the only mystery will be why you found it necessary to PMO as long as you have, and why you cannot persuade other PMOers <strong>HOW NICE IT IS TO BE A NON-PMOer</strong>!</p> -<div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-02-the-easy-method/">⏪ 03-02 The Easy Method</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-04-the-sinister-trap/">⏩ 03-04 The Sinister Trap</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div><div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> <hr> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> @@ -4949,7 +5210,12 @@ man and woman from performance based anxieties.&#160;<a href="#fnref: </ol> <p>The beautiful truth is that porn – streaming, static or whatever - does absolutely nothing for you at all.

    The beautiful truth is that porn – streaming, static or whatever - does absolutely nothing for you at all. Let me make it quite clear; I do not mean that the disadvantages of being a PMOer outweigh the advantages. All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy. Most PMOers find it necessary to rationalize why they PMO but the reasons they come up are all fallacies and illusions.

    The first thing we are going to do is to remove these fallacies and illusions. In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping. These realizations will become positive additional aids to help you achieve what you really desire to enjoy the whole of your life free from the slavery of the porn habit.

    In the US we are in the habit of driving on the right side of the road. Yet when we drive in the UK we immediately break that habit with hardly any aggravation whatsoever. It is clearly a fallacy that habits are hard to break. The fact is that we make and break habits every day of our lives. So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?

    The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction. The main reason is that PMOers are convinced that they get some genuine pleasure and/or crutch from porn and believe that they are making a genuine sacrifice if they quit.

    The beautiful truth is that once you understand porn addiction and the true reasons why you PMO, you will stop doing it just like that - and within three weeks the only mystery will be why you found it necessary to PMO as long as you have, and why you cannot persuade other PMOers HOW NICE IT IS TO BE A NON-PMOer!

    The truth is that the most stressful periods for any creature are early childhood and adolescence. We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.

    Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn’t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.

    Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik’s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop? In order to answer this question we need to know the real reason why we are still doing PMO.

    Do not think the bad effects of internet porn are exaggerated. If anything, they are sadly understated but the truth is there are different levels of dependency on PMO and masturbation in general. However, these bodies of ours are incredible machines and have enormous powers of recovery. If you stop now, your body and brain will recover within a matter of a few weeks.

    As I have said, it is never too late to stop. You can see many who have stopped not only porn but masturbation as well. Naturally with any obstacles that humans face some have even taken this addiction recovery to the next level in learning about differentiating amative and propagative sides of sex. They have not only rebooted their sex lives but have made their partner happier than before as well.

    The further it drags you down, the greater the relief. When I finally stopped I went straight to ZERO, and didn’t have one bad pang. In fact, it was actually enjoyable, even during the withdrawal period. But we must remove the brainwashing about internet porn regardless of your status as single or partnered and also of masturbation.

    As already stated, PMOers tend to relieve their withdrawal pangs at times of stress, boredom, concentration, relaxation or a combination of these. This point is explained in greater detail in the next few chapters.

    Have you ever been overtaken by panic when you are out on business travel and the hotel WiFi is down or too slow? Non-PMOers do not suffer from it. The internet porn drug causes that feeling. At the same time, as you go through life, PMO not only destroys your nerves but keeps building a powerful neural ‘water slide’, DeltaFosB, progressively destroying your ability to say no.

    By the time the PMOer reaches the stage at which it has killed his virility, he believes the PMO is his new girlfriend and cannot face life without it. Get it clear in your head that Internet porn is not relieving your nerves; it is slowly but steadily destroying them. One of the great gains of breaking the ‘habit’ is the return of your natural confidence and self-assurance.

    There is no need to self-rate based on your ability to get hard or to satisfy a woman. However, you do ‘know’ deep inside that this is slavery. It is not freedom. And that freedom cannot be achieved by continuing to ‘grease’ - repeating the same behaviour and energizing the ‘water slide’ neural pathways of your brain in ways that undercut your happiness in general and not to mention your libido.

    The true situation is this: when you are addicted to internet porn’s supranormal novelty and then you decide to abstain from internet porn, there is something missing. If you have something to occupy your mind that isn’t stressful, you can go for long periods without being bothered by the absence of the drug. However, when you are bored there’s nothing to take your mind off it, so you feed the monster. When you are indulging yourself (i.e. not trying to stop or cut down), even firing up your incognito browser becomes subconscious. The PMOer can perform this ritual automatically. If any PMOer tries to remember the session during the last week, he can only remember a small proportion of them - e.g. the very last one or after a long abstinence.

    The truth is that PMOing tend to increase boredom indirectly because orgasms make you feel lethargic and instead of undertaking some energetic activity, PMOers tend to prefer to lounge around, bored, relieving their withdrawal pangs. This is why countering the brainwashing is so important. Because it’s a fact that PMOers tend to masturbate when they are bored and that we’re wired to interpret PMO as interesting. It doesn’t occur to us to question the fact how a two dimensional supranormal stimulus relieves boredom.

    We’ve also been brainwashed into believing that sex - even bad sex - aids relaxation. It is a fact that when under stress or sad, couples want to have sex. In the absence of discrimination between amative and propagative sex, the goal is set to achieve orgasms by hook or by crook. Next time you do this watch how you both want to get away from each other as soon as it’s over. It is obvious that if they had just decided to cuddle, speak, hug and touch each other and go to sleep without the mandatory orgasms, the couple would have felt relieved. Well, if in the process, they wanted to have the propagative part then by all means they can but that is a topic not meant to be discussed in this book.

    The loss of concentration that PMOers suffer when they try to escape is not, in fact, due to your abstinence from sex, let alone PMO. When you are addicted to something, you have mental blocks. When you have such a block, what do you do? You fire up the browser. That doesn’t cure the mental block, so then what do you do? You do what you have to do: you get on with it, just as non-PMOers do.

    When you are a PMOer nothing gets blamed on the cause. PMOers never have EDs; they just have an occasional down time. The moment you stop using, everything that goes wrong in your life is blamed on the fact that you’ve stopped. Now when you have a mental block, instead of just getting on with it, you start to say, “if only I could check out my favourites now, it would solve my problem.” You then start to question your decision to quit and escape from this slavery.

    If you believe that PMOing is a genuine aid to concentration, worrying about it will guarantee that you won’t be able to concentrate. It’s the doubting, not the physical withdrawal pangs, that causes the problem. Always remember: it is the PMOer who suffers pangs and not non-PMOers. When I quit I went overnight from using everyday to zero without any apparent loss of concentration.

    Why are PMOers so stressed when they are not getting their fix, even after a real sex with a real woman? I read about a guy who has 9’s and 10’s open for dating with him as he was in the advertising field. I am talking about dinner and stuff only - but he lost interest in those dinners as his Internet porn is far more ‘easy’ for him - no restaurant spending and no hearing a ‘no’ from his date at the end of an evening. Why would he bother when his little monster tells him about the low-risk high-reward scheme called PMO that is at his fingertips when he reaches home? Those real girls sure have competition.

    Why are non-PMOers completely relaxed then? Why are PMOers not able to relax without a fix for a day or two? If you read about the experience of a PMOer taking the abstinence oath and quitting and you notice his struggle with the temptations. You can clearly see that they are not relaxed at all when they are not allowed to have the ‘only pleasure’ they are “entitled to enjoy.” They’ve forgotten what it feels like to be completely relaxed. That’s one of the many joys you have to come. The whole business of PMOing can be likened to a fly being caught in a pitcher plant. To begin with, the fly is eating the nectar. At some imperceptible stage the plant begins to eat the fly.

    Isn’t it time you climbed out of that plant?

    Even if the date went fine and hours later you are at her door and which ever way it goes, you will not be satisfied if your goal is fully on the orgasm-seek. At other times, you drive home alone and all you want to do is to go to your online harem instead of patting yourself on the back for your efforts and enjoying yourself.

    You can bet that this unfortunate guy is going to PMO after he reaches home. It is often after nights like these, when we wake to feel the uneasy emptiness, are often the special ones, the ones that we think we’ll miss the most when we are contemplating stopping PMOing. We think that life will never be quite as enjoyable again. In fact, it is the same principle at work: these PMO sessions simply provide relief from withdrawal pangs and at certain times we have greater need to relieve them than at others. You had ended up ‘greasing’ the neural ‘waterslides’ in your brain and made it ready to slide again on the next cue.

    Let us make it quite clear. It is not the internet porn and the harem dwellers that are special; it is the occasion. Once we have removed the need for the PMO, such occasions will become more enjoyable and the stressful situations less stressful. This will be explained in greater detail in the next chapter.

    The sore is what makes us close our minds to all these things. It’s that panic feeling of, “I want a fix.” Non-PMOers don’t suffer from that feeling. The worst thing we ever suffer from is fear, and the greatest gain you will receive is to be rid of that fear. It was as if a great mist had suddenly lifted from my mind. I could see so clearly that that panic feeling of wanting a porn fix wasn’t some sort of weakness in me or some magic quality of internet porn. It was caused by the first PMO session; and each subsequent one - far from relieving the feeling, it was actually causing it.

    At the same time I could see all these other “happy” PMOers - the ones who are blinded by their cunning little porn monsters - were going through the same nightmare that I was. Not as bad as mine yet all putting up phony arguments to try to justify their stupidity.

    I remember every time my partner stayed up late it was an ordeal waiting to open up my laptop. When on business trips the dinner with the clients and colleagues dragged on or was I just going through the natural ups and downs in human interactions? What was I doing? I was thinking, “let’s get on with it, so that I can get over with this and go to my room for some porn.” I have thought many times, “am I not lucky? I have got my little reward. The poor non-PMOer with no internet access somewhere in an Amish village hasn’t got a reward.” The ‘poor’ non-PMOer doesn’t need a reward. We were not designed to go through life systematically flooding our brains with dopamine and opioids. The pathetic thing is that even when masturbating with internet porn the PMOer doesn’t achieve those feelings of peace, confidence and tranquillity that the non-PMOer has experienced for the whole of his non-PMO life. The non-PMOer isn’t sitting in the family room, feeling agitated and wishing his life away. He can enjoy the whole of his life.

    No, this wasn’t a fourteen-year-old schoolboy but a forty-year-old professional. How pathetic. I wouldn’t admit to myself that I wasn’t enjoying it. I was looking for the right clip and/or pictures to reach orgasm or better, edge forever. I don’t know what I am supposed to be ‘watching’ sometimes. That is the confusing part. The ’edging’ and then the orgasm floods my brain. Yet this was supposed to be my way of relaxing and enjoying my “favourite hobby.”

    To me, one of the tremendous joys of being a non-PMOer is to be freed from that slavery. To be able to enjoy the whole of my life and not spend half of it craving for more and more internet porn and then, when I get to fire up my browser, wishing I didn’t have to do it. PMOers should bear in mind that when they see or meet non-PMOers, it is not the self-righteous non-PMOer who is depriving them but their very own “little monster.”

    PMOers also suffer the illusion that the ill-effects of internet porn and PMO are overstated. The reverse is the case. There is no doubt that internet porn is the major cause of PIED and other problems. The trouble is that in many cases where PMO causes the ED or is a contributory factor, it is not blamed on PMO in the statistics. It has been estimated that more than 25 per cent of men experience ED or PE and yet I wonder how many divorces have been caused by PMO? There are no reliable ways to know the number of Internet Porn users within the study group. The studies usually mix up traditional and internet porn users and has no way to account for the starting age of the participants, years of use, duration and frequency of usage. There is no way to conduct blind or double blind methods either.

    I was a ‘safe’ user of internet porn - if there is anything ‘safe’ about it. However I noticed that I invariably projected porn fantasies on real life women. Like the episode in Friends where the guys, who were receiving continuous free porn on TV, started to wonder to each other why the pizza delivery girl didn’t ask to check out their ‘big bedroom’. Imagine what ‘careless’ or even ‘accidental’ porn exposure on the darker sides the internet would do to someone who is already at a tipping point in his or her life? Fighting against these ‘porn induce thoughts’, PIT4, is going to be a major drain on his or her mental health.

    The effect of the brainwashing is that we tend to think like the man who, having fallen off a 100-storey building, is heard to say, as he passes the fiftieth floor, “So far, so good!” We think that as we have got away with it so far, one more PMO session won’t make the difference. Try to see it another way, the ‘habit’ is a continuous chain for life, each session creating the need for the next. When you start the habit you light a fuse. The trouble is, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LONG THE FUSE IS. Every time that you give up to a PMO session you are one step nearer to the bomb exploding. HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF IT’S THE NEXT ONE?

    By this time, the lack of energy, tiredness and everything related to it is nicely swept under the rug of ‘getting’ older. My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal. I believed that energy was the exclusive prerogative of children and teenagers, and that old age began in the early twenties. I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.

    Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o’clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn’t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man’s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it’s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.

    That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through. Unfortunately, I cannot immediately transfer you into your mind and body in three weeks’ time. But you can! You know instinctively that what I am telling you is correct. All you need to do is: USE YOUR IMAGINATION!

    I refused to see my PMO as causing so much of the mental tug of war in my mind that I am foolishly working hard to have nominal levels of confidence in my day to day life. Forget about getting an erection, I am talking about focusing, taking challenges, fighting, choosing, deciding - actions that define our lives. Especially when we are often forced to act when the facts are not clear. Come to think of it, facts were and will never be clear and hence it is to our great advantage anyway to act.

    Also of note is in dating area as well, the fire to go forward is being misappropriated to this ‘high reward zero pain’ porn. If you have read some top PUA books and forums, what do they say? Go on a ‘diet1’? Yes of course when you have the good hunger your internal juices and your brain will do the rest. Copping out is not an option at all. Playing the numbers is not tiresome by no means. All PUA advice in a nut-shell is this - try more numbers. Even if your approach is wrong you will be right twice a day like a broken clock. But if your mind is fighting a tug of war with effortless easy access to a harem of online women, how would you get back on your feet when that girl ignores you? Oh, if it was a public outright rejection I am running, not walking, to my porn girlfriend.

    For a long time, before YBOP and Gary’s articles, none of these things did I relate to my PMOing ‘habit’ but getting off it has been like awakening from a bad dream. Nowadays I look forward to each day. Of course, bad things still happen in my life, and I am subject to normal stresses and strains but it is wonderful to have the confidence to cope with them, and extra health, energy and confidence make the good times more enjoyable too.

    Amazingly, my most ingenious thoughts occurred when I was actually trying to quit. They were of course inspired by the fear and misery I suffered when attempting to quit by using willpower. No way could I block my mind from the health and sexual aspects. But now that I am free it amazes me how I successfully blocked my mind from even more important advantages to be gained from quitting. I’ve already mentioned the sheer slavery - spending half of our lives being allowed to PMO, doing it automatically and wishing we had never started, the other half feeling miserable and deprived because the knowledge of the destructive effects of internet porn won’t allow us to PMO. In the last chapter I’ve referred to the incredible joy of having energy again. But for me the greatest joy of being free was not the health, the time, the energy, or the ending of the slavery, it was the removal of those sinister black shadows, the removal of feeling despised by and feeling apologetic to myself and to other quitters, and most of all to be able to respect yourself.

    Most PMOers aren’t the weak-willed, spineless jellyfish that both society and themselves tend to believe. In every other aspect of my life I was in control. I loathed myself for being dependent on an evil crutch that I knew was ruining my life. I cannot tell you of the utter joy of being free of those sinister black shadows, the dependency and the self-despising. I can’t tell you how nice it is to be able to look at all other users, whether they be young, old, casual or heavy, not with a feeling of envy, but with a feeling of pity for them and elation for yourself that you are no longer the slave of that insidious trap. The other day I felt pity for the guy on a TV show who was so excited to get to watch porn - another case of society slipping one in your drink under the pretence of comedy.

    The last two chapters have dealt with the considerable advantages of being a non-PMOer. I feel it necessary to give a balanced account, so the next chapter lists the advantages of being a PMOer.

    Too late. They are already hooked. The trap that they fell into in the first place has claimed its victim again.

    As I keep saying, enjoyment doesn’t come into it. It never did! If we PMOed because we enjoyed it, nobody would stay on the tube sites more than the average time it takes to finish the deed. Anyway, a better way to orgasm is to masturbate out of your memories. We assume we enjoy internet porn only because we cannot believe we would be so stupid as to get addicted if we didn’t enjoy them. I had no idea about supranormal stimulus or novelty-seeking or shock-seeking, and even after I read about them, I did not believe that so much of my “fun” seeking was to do with simple evolutionary reward circuit wiring. I am some lab rat? I have free will! This is why so much of our PMOing is subconscious. If, while using, you were aware of the brain changes (the dopamine/opioid squirts, diluting of those fluids, the closing up of their receptors, the satiation levels going up ruining our future encounters and experiences with the opposite sex and you had to say to yourself, “this is going to cost $$$ in my lifetime, and this session with an unknown two dimensional actor might just be the one to trigger off PIED, PE, hypofrontality by greasing those ‘water slides’” - even the illusion of enjoyment would go.

    When we try to block our minds to the bad side, we feel stupid. If we had to face up to it, that would be intolerable! If you get to watch a PMOer in action, you will see that they are happy only when they are not aware that they are PMOing. Once they become aware of it, they tend to be uncomfortable and apologetic. We PMO to feed that little monster… and once you have purged the little monster from your body and the big monster from your brain, you will have neither need nor desire to PMO.

  • There is nothing different about you. Any addicted PMOer can find it easy to stop.

    • Many PMOers believe that they are confirmed addicts or have addictive personalities. This usually happens if they have read the ‘shocking’3 part of the brain science a little bit too much. I promise you there is no such thing. No one is born with needs to masturbate to video clips before they become hooked on the drug. It is the drug that hooks you and not the nature of your character or personality. It is the effect of addictive supranormal stimuli that makes you believe that you have an addictive personality. However, it is essential that you remove this belief because if you believe that you are dependent on internet porn, you will be. Even after the little porn monster inside your body is dead. It is essential to remove all of this brainwashing.

    Teenagers are generally more difficult to cure, not because they find it difficult to stop but because either they do not believe they are hooked or they are at the primary stage of the trap and suffer from the delusion that they will automatically have stopped before the secondary stage.

    I would like particularly to warn parents of children who loathe internet porn not to have a false sense of security. All children loathe the dark sides of porn until they become hooked. You did too at one time. Also do not be fooled by scare campaigns. The trap is the same as it always was. Children know that internet porn is supranormal stimuli but they also know that one ‘visit’ or ‘peek’ will not do it. At some stage they may be influenced by a girlfriend or boyfriend, school friend or work colleague.

    You may think that all they need is an education in brain plasticity and that PMO (including even masturbation) acts like a virus in their brain programme to convince them they could never become hooked. I find society’s failure to prevent our children from becoming addicted to internet porn and other drugs to be the most disturbing of all the many disturbing facets of addiction. I beg you not to be complacent in this matter. It is necessary to protect youngsters as their brain is more plastic at that age. I strongly urge you to read the YBOP book and educate yourself of the brain science. Even if you suspect your teenager might already be hooked, the book will provide excellent guidance to assist in gaining understanding for someone to escape.

    A few years ago I thought I had all the worries in the world. I was suicidal - not in the sense that I would have jumped off a roof but in the sense that I knew that this mental tug of war would soon kill me. I argued that if this was life with my crutch, life just wouldn’t be worth living without it. What I didn’t realize was that when you are physically and mentally depressed everything gets you down. Now I feel like a young boy again. Only one thing made the change in my life: I’m now out of the porn pit.

    I know it’s a cliché to say, “if you haven’t got your health, you’ve got nothing,” but it’s absolutely true. I used to think that physical fitness fanatics like Gary Player were a pain. I used to claim there’s more to life than feeling fit; there’s sex, booze and tobacco. That’s nonsense. When you feel physically and mentally strong you can enjoy the highs and handle the lows. We confuse responsibility with stress. Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don’t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong. What destroys them is not the stresses of life or their jobs, or old age but the lying crutches they turn to which are just illusions. Sadly in his case and for millions like him those lying crutches kill.

    Look at it this way. You’ve already decided that you are not going to stay in the trap the rest of your life. Therefore at some time in your life whether you find it easy or difficult, you will have to go through the process of getting free. PMOing is not a habit or pleasure. It is drug addiction and a disease. We’ve already established that far from being easier to stop tomorrow, it will get progressively harder. With a disease that’s going to get progressively worse, the time to get rid of it is NOW - or as near to now as you can manage. Just think how quickly each week of our lives comes and goes. That’s all it takes. Just think how nice it will he to enjoy the rest of your life without that ever-increasing black shadow hanging over you. And if you follow all my instructions, you won’t even have to wait five days. You won’t only find it easy after closing down your bowser: YOU’LL ENJOY IT!

    Once that little monster leaves your body the awful feeling of insecurity ends. Your confidence returns, together with a marvellous feeling of self-respect. You obtain the assurance to take control of your life, not only in your other habits but also in all other ways. This is one of the many great advantages of being free from any addiction.

    As I have said, the ‘compartment’ myth is due to one of many tricks that the little monster plays with your mind. In fact, these tricks do not make it easier to stop, they make it harder. The PMOer is therefore left with a permanent hunger that he can never satisfy. This is why many PMOers turn to cigarettes, heavy drinking or even harder drugs in order to satisfy the void.

    I had suggested watching porn with one of my partners. But eventually I noticed it did not enhance my arousal at all. The sex was not better. I realized that it actually diminished my attraction towards her. We humans are rating animals - we always self rate and other rate. I am sure she rated me against the male porn start too. Why take chances? Do you want Brad Pitt in your bedroom, even if he is in a poster? No one man or woman can match a harem where each ‘experience’ is acted, scripted and directed by professionals and at the ready 24 hours a day.

    Keep looking at the other side of the tug of war. What is PMOing doing for me? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Why do I need to do it? YOU DON’T! YOU ARE ONLY PUNISHING YOURSELF. Try looking at it from the Pascal’s Wager perspective. You have almost nothing to lose (a rub-out with half arousals) for sure, chances of big profits (a full and reliable arousal, mental well being and happiness) and no chance of losing big (unreliable full arousals, premature ejaculations, fading penetrations, loss of general impulse controls, lower tolerance for frustrations and anger).

    Why not declare your quitting to friends and family? Well, it will make you a proud ex-addict, ex-PMOer, not an elated and happy non-PMOer. It will scare your partner a bit since they may see this as an effort to have more sex, sort of a new-age thing. They may also fear to lose you if this turns you into sex machine. It is hard to explain to them unless they are open minded.

    Any attempt to get others to help you in your quitting gives more power to the little monster of addiction. Pushing it from your mind and totally ignoring it has the effect of trying NOT to think of it. As soon as you spot the thoughts, when you hit the cues (home alone) or just absent minded thoughts - just say to yourself: “Great, I don’t have to do it like a slave animal. I am free. I am happy to know the differences in sex.” This will cut the life of the thought and will deny oxygen to it and will stop it from burning towards urges and cravings.

  • I have mentioned several times a withdrawal period of up to three weeks. This can cause misunderstanding. First, you may subconsciously feel that you have to suffer for three weeks. You don’t. Secondly, avoid the trap of thinking, “Somehow I have just got to abstain for three weeks and then I will be free.” Nothing magic will actually happen after three weeks. You won’t suddenly feel like a non-PMOer. Non-PMOers do not feel any different from PMOers. If you are moping about stopping during the three weeks, in all probability you will still be moping about it after the three weeks. What I am saying is, if you can start right now by saying, “I am never going to PMO again. Isn’t it marvelous?” After three weeks all temptation will go. Whereas if you say, “If only I can survive three weeks without a PMO,” you will be dying for a harem visit after the three weeks are up.

    • Sexual dysfunction has a lot to do with your brain and your mind frame. Internet Porn rewires your brain’s reward circuit and gives your mind a ‘doubting’ mind frame. This self doubt will undoubtedly cause your sexual dysfunctions. Having all the desire in your upper part but putting up no arousal in your lower part is the worst thing to happen to your mind frame. Libido going hand in hand with romance is the elixir of youth that you can have until you die. You will keep the probabilities high by quitting. But that is not the only or the major gain in all this. It is your freedom from slavery.

    Whatever you do DO NOT DOUBT YOUR DECISION. Once you start to doubt, you will start to mope and it will get worse. Instead use the moment as a boost. CONVERT MOPE TO BOOST. If the cause is depression then remind yourself that’s what the internet porn and PMO were doing to you. If you are forwarded a URL by a friend, take pride in saying, “I’m happy to say I do not need them any more.” That will hurt him but when he sees that it isn’t bothering you he will be halfway to joining you.

    Remember that you had very powerful reasons for stopping in the first place. Remind yourself of the costs and ask yourself whether you really want to risk too much of those fearful ‘malfunctions’ of your ‘equipage’ which is not the greatest loss if you ask me - but the most important loss of mental happiness and well being - of not living under a ‘spell’. This is called ‘referenting’ or spotting of the minimizing efforts of the monster about the hazards. Above all, remember that the feeling is only temporary and each moment is a moment nearer to your goal.

    Some PMOers fear that they will have to spend the rest of their lives reversing the ‘automatic triggers’. In other words, they believe that they will have to go through life kidding themselves that they don’t really need PMO by the use of psychology. This is not so. Remember that the optimist sees the bottle as half full and the pessimist sees it as half empty. In the case of PMO, the bottle is empty and the PMOer sees it as full. There are just no advantages with internet porn and PMO. It is the PMOer who has been brainwashed. Once you start telling yourself that you don’t need to orgasm using PMO, in a very short time you won’t even need to say it because the beautiful truth is… you do not need to PMO. It’s the last thing you need to do; make sure it’s not the last thing you do.

    After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.

    Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.

    If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure. Remember any PMOer, regardless of age, sex, intelligence or profession, can find it easy and enjoyable to stop provided YOU FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict

    Casual PMOers find it difficult to dismiss the belief that they are being deprived of their little reward: those who aren’t allowed to go online during a period of time on travel, family event, etc. Some say, “I wouldn’t even know how to unwind if it is not for PMO.” That proves the point. Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.

    Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don’t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It’s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It’s also hard to visualize that soon you won’t need that little “reward” and you’ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.

    However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable. The chances are that you’ll end up falling into the disgusting trap again. If you need a genuine break, as housewives, teachers, doctors and other workers do, you’ll soon be enjoying that break even more because you won’t have to addict yourself. Remember, you don’t need a substitute. Those pangs are a craving for dopamine and will soon be gone. Let that be your prop for the next few days. Enjoy ridding your body and your mind of slavery and dependence.

    • My advice is: yes, try to avoid stressful situations. There is no sense in putting undue pressure on yourself. In the case of social events - to a bar or dance floor - my advice is the reverse. No, go out and enjoy yourself straight away. You do not need sex - the propagative side of sex - even while you are still addicted to porn. Go to a party and rejoice in the fact that you do not have to have sex and propagative sex. It will quickly prove to you the beautiful truth that life is so much better without the pressure of sex. Just think how much better it will be when the little monster has left you, together with all those needy thoughts.

    Most ex-PMOers experience the moment of revelation around this period. What usually happens is you are in one of those stressful or social situations that once you couldn’t cope with or enjoy without a harem visit. You suddenly realize that not only are you enjoying or coping with it but the thought of PMO has never even occurred to you. From that point on it is usually plain sailing. That’s when you know you are free.

    I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You’ve proved you have kicked it. But you’ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks. As soon as you finish the deed the dopamine starts to leave your body. Now a little voice is saying, “You haven’t kicked it. You want another one.”

    You don’t scurry back straight away because you don’t want to get hooked again. You allow a safe period to pass. When you are next tempted you are able to say to yourself: “But I didn’t get hooked again, so there’s no harm in having another one.” You are already on your way down the slippery slope. The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You’ve already done all you need to do. You’ve cut off the supply of oxygen to your little monster. No force on earth can prevent you from being free unless you mope about it or wait for revelation. Go and enjoy life; cope with it right from the start. That way you’ll soon experience the moment.

    No PMOer, given the chance of going back to the time before he became hooked with the knowledge he has now, would opt to start. Many of the them who consult me are convinced that if I could only help them stop, they would never dream of PMOing again, and yet thousands of PMOers successfully kick the habit for many years and lead perfectly happy lives, only to get trapped once again. I trust that this book will help you to find it relatively easy to stop. But be warned: PMOers who find it easy to stop find it easy to start again, DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRAP.

    No matter how long you have stopped or how confident you are that you will never become hooked again, make it a rule of life not to PMO for any reason. Resist the allusions and innuendoes in the media, and remember they are pushing their image of ‘openness’ by bringing porn into mainstream without realizing how porn, internet porn etc. are killers of relationships and of the personal sense of well being for a huge number of men and some women.

    Remember, that first peek or visit will do nothing for you. You will have no withdrawal pangs to relieve and it will make you feel awful. What it will do is to put the pleasure of dopamine rush into your mind and brain, and a little voice at the back of your mind will be saying, “you want another one.” Then you have got the choice of being miserable for a while or starting the whole filthy chain again.

    Enforced abstinences do not actually cut down the intake because the PMOer just indulges himself even more when he is eventually allowed to be alone. All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.

    Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But… “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.

    The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn’t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society’s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture. We always say a quick death is better than a slow one, so do not envy the poor PMOer. He and she deserves your pity.

    Even if offered it, you’d refuse it, because you think of it as disgusting, foul tasting and vomit producing. And so the negative suggestions are now removed from your mind and those suggestions which I have given you now replace them. At the count of five. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

    From this moment on you are free, free from the porn, free from it’s entangling octopus like tentacles, free from it’s degrading self-punishing nature, free from from its ruination, free from it’s ability to wreck your life. You’re completely free because all the connections in your mind with the porn and it’s substitutes have been completely removed. The wires have been pulled out and you are unable to restore them even if you should want to. Just imagine that a big telephone switchboard exists in your head and that we pulled out all of the wires connected to the hole marked “porn” so that even if something is plugged into it nothing will happen. You don’t want it. You can’t buy it. You don’t need it and if offered you’d refuse it. It’s disgusting to you. It’s awful. Has a terrible effect and makes you sick to your stomach to even think about it. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

    Now you are going to be completely successful in every way and surprised and amazed at the self discipline and confidence that you have in yourself knowing that you’ve licked the problem and that it will stay licked. Now sleep. Sleep deeply. And your mind concentrates on the sound of my voice and you go deeper and deeper and deeper. Relax.

    You’ve lost all desire for porn in any form. You’re interested in YouTube. You love funny videos, National Geographic videos, Ted talks when it’s good. And there are many other videos that you like and that you can watch. There’s NFL and NBA, Food Network, and many game shows, a number of which you enjoy. But the one that doesn’t do you any good and that you don’t even care about anymore is porn. Now that was yesterday when porn may have saved your life from boredom or protected you from social injury or when it was a means of self punishment. That was when you ran yourself down and lost your self. That was yesterday when you thought ill of yourself. That was yesterday when you made yourself into a failure. And today is when you put porn aside forever. And when you put it aside, you put it aside with all the other failures. You put it aside with all the other means of self punishment, with all the fears and anxieties, and everything else.

    Because you don’t need any of that. Today is the day in which you make yourself successful. Today is the day in which you set goals and strive towards those goals. Today is the day in which you have a nice clean cut appearance, in which you feel vitality and can think straight and reason and make decisions upon good judgement and past experience. Today is the day in which you start loving yourself and appreciating yourself for the really good and intelligent individual that you are. Today is the day in which you turn yourself over and turn your life over to something higher than just you, not only to a higher principle, but to a higher inside power. Let that power run your life. Today is the day that you’ll bury your past mistakes and make something out of yourself. Today is the day that you wipe failure out of your book of life and that success becomes really meaningful to you in a very personal way. To be completely succinct about this, today is the day that you throw porn away. You throw it away for good. You don’t need it and you’ll never need it. You don’t want it and you’ll never want it. You can’t desire it and you don’t. You’re through with porn. You don’t need it, you don’t want it, and you can’t watch it. It is terrible. It acts terrible. And it makes you feel terrible.

    You’re going to enjoy life fully in every way and feel happy, live, laugh, love, and be happy for that’s what today means to you. Now all these suggestions take complete and thorough effect upon you mind, body and spirit as you sink deeper and deeper relaxed and they seal themselves into your subconscious mind and they reinforce themselves over and over again. I’m going to give you a period of silence in which all this takes effect and that period of silence begins now…

Because you don’t need poison any more. You don’t need to poison yourself. You don’t need to punish yourself. You’re through with all that.

    You’re going to appreciate yourself.

You’re just beginning to appreciate yourself, to value yourself, your mind and your body and to make them really work for you.

    You’re going to make yourself happy and you’re going to make others happy by staying abstinent, by avoiding completely like the plague any video which you are allergic to and porn especially for you’re most allergic to that. You have obtained a great victory in forever placing porn behind you for you have now placed a beautiful future before you. For no matter what may befall you, good, bad, indifferent, it’s still better and easier and happier to face the future as an ex-PMOer than a PMOer. Indeed, you’re going to have twice the fun as ex-PMOer than you ever had PMOed because when PMOing you never had any fun. You were only using porn to assassinate yourself, to poison yourself, to get rid of yourself, to fix yourself, and to become dead lover. And you almost succeeded in that. But you removed all those thoughts from your mind. You’re through punishing yourself. You’re through beating yourself down. You’re now going to build yourself up. You’re through assassinating and you’re going to appreciate and as you start appreciating instead of assassinating you’re going to build yourself up more and more and more with every breath you take as you go deeper and deeper relaxed, deeper and deeper and deeper. And all these suggestions are going to be reinforced in your mind every single day of your life. Now sleep.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.</p> <p>The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn&rsquo;t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society&rsquo;s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.</p> <p>If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure.

You have almost nothing to lose (a rub-out with half arousals) for sure, chances of big profits (a full and reliable arousal, mental well being and happiness) and no chance of losing big (unreliable full arousals, premature ejaculations, fading penetrations, loss of general impulse controls, lower tolerance for frustrations and anger).</p> <p>Why not declare your quitting to friends and family? Well, it will make you a proud ex-addict, ex-PMOer, not an elated and happy non-PMOer. It will scare your partner a bit since they may see this as an effort to have more sex, sort of a new-age thing. They may also fear to lose you if this turns you into sex machine. It is hard to explain to them unless they are open minded.</p> <p>Any attempt to get others to help you in your quitting gives more power to the little monster of addiction. Pushing it from your mind and totally ignoring it has the effect of trying NOT to think of it. As soon as you spot the thoughts, when you hit the cues (home alone) or just absent minded thoughts - just say to yourself: “Great, I don’t have to do it like a slave animal. I am free. I am happy to know the differences in sex.” This will cut the life of the thought and will deny oxygen to it and will stop it from burning towards urges and cravings.</p> - +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-30-can-i-compartmentalize/">⏪ 03-30 Can I Compartmentalize?</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-32-the-easy-way-to-stop/">⏩ 03-32 The Easy Way to Stop</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div> @@ -3893,7 +4010,12 @@ when you were a PMOer.

I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart.

Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping. These realizations will become positive additional aids to help you achieve what you really desire to enjoy the whole of your life free from the slavery of the porn habit.</p> -<div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-01-the-worst-pmo-addict-i-have-yet-to-meet/">⏪ 03-01 The Worst PMO Addict I Have Yet to Meet</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-03-why-is-it-difficult-to-stop/">⏩ 03-03 Why Is It Difficult to Stop?</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div><div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> <hr> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> @@ -4988,7 +5254,12 @@ Some people find it annoying that I am so dogmatic about certain recommendations <li>FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND Do not take anything for granted.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.</p> <p>The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn&rsquo;t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society&rsquo;s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.</p> <p>If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure.

I am happy to know the differences in sex.” This will cut the life of the thought and will deny oxygen to it and will stop it from burning towards urges and cravings.</p> - +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-30-can-i-compartmentalize/">⏪ 03-30 Can I Compartmentalize?</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-32-the-easy-way-to-stop/">⏩ 03-32 The Easy Way to Stop</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div> @@ -3893,7 +4010,12 @@ when you were a PMOer.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart.

These realizations will become positive additional aids to help you achieve what you really desire to enjoy the whole of your life free from the slavery of the porn habit.</p> -<div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-01-the-worst-pmo-addict-i-have-yet-to-meet/">⏪ 03-01 The Worst PMO Addict I Have Yet to Meet</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-03-why-is-it-difficult-to-stop/">⏩ 03-03 Why Is It Difficult to Stop?</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div><div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> <hr> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> @@ -4988,7 +5254,12 @@ Some people find it annoying that I am so dogmatic about certain recommendations <li>FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND Do not take anything for granted.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.</p> <p>The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn&rsquo;t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society&rsquo;s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

What usually happens is you are in one of those stressful or social situations that once you couldn&rsquo;t cope with or enjoy without a harem visit. You suddenly realize that not only are you enjoying or coping with it but the thought of PMO has never even occurred to you. From that point on it is usually plain sailing. That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.</p> <p>If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure.

The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy. Most PMOers find it necessary to rationalize why they PMO but the reasons they come up are all fallacies and illusions.</p> <p>The first thing we are going to do is to remove these fallacies and illusions. In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping. These realizations will become positive additional aids to help you achieve what you really desire to enjoy the whole of your life free from the slavery of the porn habit.</p> -<div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-01-the-worst-pmo-addict-i-have-yet-to-meet/">⏪ 03-01 The Worst PMO Addict I Have Yet to Meet</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-03-why-is-it-difficult-to-stop/">⏩ 03-03 Why Is It Difficult to Stop?</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div><div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> <hr> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> @@ -4988,7 +5254,12 @@ Some people find it annoying that I am so dogmatic about certain recommendations <li>FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND Do not take anything for granted.

Today is the day that you wipe failure out of your book of life and that success becomes really meaningful to you in a very personal way. To be completely succinct about this, today is the day that you throw porn away. You throw it away for good. You don&rsquo;t need it and you&rsquo;ll never need it. You don&rsquo;t want it and you&rsquo;ll never want it. You can&rsquo;t desire it and you don&rsquo;t. You&rsquo;re through with porn. You don&rsquo;t need it, you don&rsquo;t want it, and you can&rsquo;t watch it. It is terrible. It acts terrible. And it makes you feel terrible.</p> <p>You&rsquo;re going to enjoy life fully in every way and feel happy, live, laugh, love, and be happy for that&rsquo;s what today means to you.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late! She is already hooked again.</p> <p>The little porn monster has got into her body again. The old craving will start and even if she doesn&rsquo;t become hooked again straight away, post-high depression will probably catch her out. It is strange that although heroin addicts are criminals in law, our society&rsquo;s attitude is quite rightly, “What can we do to help these pathetic individuals?” Let us adopt the same attitude to the poor PMOer. He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do. You&rsquo;ve cut off the supply of oxygen to your little monster. No force on earth can prevent you from being free unless you mope about it or wait for revelation.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable. The chances are that you&rsquo;ll end up falling into the disgusting trap again.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer.

I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart.

And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop? In order to answer this question we need to know the real reason why we are still doing PMO.</p> - +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-03-why-is-it-difficult-to-stop/">⏪ 03-03 Why Is It Difficult to Stop?</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-05-why-do-we-carry-on-with-pmo/">⏩ 03-05 Why Do We Carry on With PMO</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div> @@ -4902,7 +5158,12 @@ became addicted.

So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction.

All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy.

In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late!

He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop?

So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction.

All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy.

In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late!

He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop?

So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction.

All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy.

In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late!

He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop?

So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction.

All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy.

In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late!

He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop?

So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction.

All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy.

In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late!

He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop?

So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction.

All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy.

In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.

All it does is to ingrain in the PMOer’s mind how precious internet porn and PMO are and how dependent he is upon them. I think the most insidious aspect of this enforced abstinence is its effect on younger population. We allow the “hijackers” of “freedom of expression” - the porn producers - to target unfortunate teenagers to get hooked in the first place. Then, at what is probably the most stressful period in their lives, when in their deluded minds they need PMO most of all, we blackmail them into giving up because of the harm they are causing to themselves.</p> <p>Many are unable to do so and are forced, through no fault of their own, to suffer a guilt complex for the rest of their lives. Many of them succeed and are pleased to do so, thinking, “Fine. I will do this for now and after it’s over I will be cured anyway.” Then comes the pain and fear of finding work etc. followed by the biggest “high” of their lives - finding a job. The pain and fear are over. Then they feel secure and the old trigger mechanism comes back into operation. Part of the brainwashing is still there and almost before the smell of the new work laptop is gone the PMOer is at the threshold of his favourite online harem. The elation of the occasion blocks the foul feelings from his or her mind. She has no intention of becoming hooked again. But&hellip; “just the one peek.” Too late!

He is not doing it because he wants to but because he thinks he has got to and, unlike the heroin addict, he usually has to suffer years and years of mental and physical torture.

That&rsquo;s when you know you are free.</p> <p>I have noticed from my previous attempts using the Willpower Method and from feedback from others, that around the three-week period is when most serious attempts to stop fail. I believe that what usually happens is that after about three weeks you sense that you have lost the desire to PMO. You need to prove this to yourself and so you hop on your browser to visit your harem. It feels weird. You&rsquo;ve proved you have kicked it. But you&rsquo;ve also greased the DeltaFosB porn water slides thanks to the fresh dopamine rush into your brain and this dopamine rush is what your body has been craving for three weeks.

The key to the problem is not to wait for the moment of revelation but to realize that once you close the browser it is finished. You&rsquo;ve already done all you need to do.

Often the break is taken not because the PMOer needs it or even wants it but because the addict - that is who he or she is - desperately needs to scratch the itch.</p> <p>Remember the PMO sessions never were genuine rewards. They were equivalent to wearing tight shoes to get the pleasure of taking them off. So if you feel that you must have a little reward, let that be your substitute; while you are working, wear a pair of shoes or an underwear a size too small for you, don&rsquo;t allow yourself to remove them until you have your break, then experience that wonderful moment of relaxation and satisfaction when you do remove them. Perhaps you feel that would be rather stupid. You are absolutely right. It&rsquo;s hard to visualize while you are still in the trap, but that is what PMOers do. It&rsquo;s also hard to visualize that soon you won&rsquo;t need that little “reward” and you&rsquo;ll regard your friends who are still in the trap with genuine pity and wonder why they cannot see the point.</p> <p>However, if you go on kidding yourself that the online harem visit was a genuine reward or that you need a substitute then you will feel deprived and miserable.

Just think, how can you possibly cure an addict of addict <p>After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.</p> <p>Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing.

Responsibility becomes stressful only when you don&rsquo;t feel strong enough to handle it. The Richard Burtons of this world are physically and mentally strong.

My friends and colleagues by this time are all living sedentary lifestyles. I thought this behaviour was normal.

I did not notice that I was paying attention to my health in general by eating right - which they did not. But I did not notice that anomaly.</p> <p>Shortly after I stopped PMO, I was relieved that this foggy and muggy feeling left me. For example, I can keep a steady gaze with my eyes on just about anything for a longer time. If I am looking into someone’s eyes it is even longer. However something truly marvellous and unexpected also happened. I started waking at seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning feeling completely rested and full of energy, actually wanting to exercise, jog and swim. I have read about a forty-eight year old who couldn&rsquo;t run a step or swim a stroke. The only sporting activities were confined to such dynamic pursuits as green bowling, affectionately referred to as “the old man&rsquo;s game,” and golf, for which he had to use a motorized cart. But after quitting PMO he started going to gym - not that it is necessary that everyone would - but still. Almost all us know that it&rsquo;s great to have energy and when you feel physically and mentally strong, it feels great to be alive.</p> <p>That is the point with PMOing - you are always debiting your energy. And in that process tampering with your brain codes of the reward circuit. Which again is going to make you miserable and vulnerable to stress and strain attacks. Unfortunately when you feel down with all of this you will seek a cigarette or alcohol or again porn. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting PMO gives you excellent results from day one. Starting with energy. Then your mental programming to close the ‘water slides’ takes a bit of time. You need to kill the Little Monster - which will be explained in later chapters. Recovering your RC is nothing like as slow as the slide into the pit and if you are going through the trauma of the willpower method of quitting, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you will be going through.

We tend to confuse responsibility with stress. A PMOer’s life - like a drug addict - automatically becomes more stressful because PMO does not relax you or relieve stress, as some try to make you believe. Just the reverse: it actually causes you to become more nervous and stressed. Internet porn is as fake in its promises for pleasure and crutch as its actors are. If you had never learned any life skills to cope the stress and strains of day to day life you are not going to get any better with this fake and disgusting crutch. Worse you are going to add more bales of straw on the old camel’s back.</p> <p>Even those users who kick the habit (most do, one or more times during their lives) can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. The whole business of PMO is like wandering into a giant maze. As soon as we enter the maze our minds become misted and clouded, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many of us eventually do, only to find that we get trapped again at a later date. I spent thirty-three years trying to escape from that maze. Like all PMOers, I couldn&rsquo;t understand it. However, due to a combination of unusual circumstances, none of which reflect any credit on me, I wanted to know why previously it had been so desperately difficult to stop and yet, when I finally did, it was not only easy but enjoyable.</p> <p>Since stopping PMO my hobby has been to resolve the many conundrums associated with porn. It is a complex and fascinating puzzle and - like a Rubik&rsquo;s Cube - practically impossible to solve. However, like all complicated puzzles, if you know the solution, it is easy! I have the solution to stopping porn easily. I will lead you out of the maze and ensure that you never wander into it again. All you have to do is follow the instructions. If you take a wrong turn, the rest of the instructions will be pointless. Let me emphasize that anybody can find it easy to stop but first we need to establish the facts. No, I do not mean the scare facts. I know you are already aware of them. There is already enough information on the evils of PMO. If that was going to stop you, you would already have stopped. I mean, why do we find it difficult to stop? In order to answer this question we need to know the real reason why we are still doing PMO.</p> - +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-03-why-is-it-difficult-to-stop/">⏪ 03-03 Why Is It Difficult to Stop?</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-05-why-do-we-carry-on-with-pmo/">⏩ 03-05 Why Do We Carry on With PMO</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div> @@ -4902,7 +5158,12 @@ became addicted.

Yet when we drive in the UK we immediately break that habit with hardly any aggravation whatsoever. It is clearly a fallacy that habits are hard to break. The fact is that we make and break habits every day of our lives. So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us deprived when we don’t have it yet guilty when we do and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop doing it?</p> <p>The answer is that PMO is not habit: IT IS ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to “give up.” Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to “give up?” It does explain why most PMOers find it difficult to “give up.” That is because they do not understand addiction. The main reason is that PMOers are convinced that they get some genuine pleasure and/or crutch from porn and believe that they are making a genuine sacrifice if they quit.</p> <p>The beautiful truth is that once you understand porn addiction and the true reasons why you PMO, you will stop doing it just like that - and within three weeks the only mystery will be why you found it necessary to PMO as long as you have, and why you cannot persuade other PMOers <strong>HOW NICE IT IS TO BE A NON-PMOer</strong>!</p> -<div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> +<div style="text-align: center;"> +<div style="display: inline-block;"> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"><a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-02-the-easy-method/">⏪ 03-02 The Easy Method</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/">Hackbook</a>&nbsp;<strong><b>&middot;</strong></b>&nbsp;<a href="https://vodoraslo.xyz/library/hackbook/03-04-the-sinister-trap/">⏩ 03-04 The Sinister Trap</a> +<hr style="background-color: var(--strong); color: var(--strong)"> +</div> +</div><div class="footnotes" role="doc-endnotes"> <hr> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> @@ -4949,7 +5210,12 @@ man and woman from performance based anxieties.&#160;<a href="#fnref: </ol> <p>The beautiful truth is that porn – streaming, static or whatever - does absolutely nothing for you at all. Let me make it quite clear; I do not mean that the disadvantages of being a PMOer outweigh the advantages. All PMOers know from the many published studies about high speed internet porn addiction, forum messages, blog articles in YBOP and similar sites. I mean there are not any advantages from internet porn. The only advantage it ever had was the ‘educational’ aspect and guess what, nowadays the kind of education that it is offering is highly disputable for their contribution to real life intimacy. Most PMOers find it necessary to rationalize why they PMO but the reasons they come up are all fallacies and illusions.</p> <p>The first thing we are going to do is to remove these fallacies and illusions. In fact, you will realize that there is nothing to give up. Not only is there nothing to give up but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer and well being and happiness are only two of these gains. Once the illusion that life will never be quite as enjoyable without porn is removed, once you realize that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so, once the feeling of being deprived or of missing out are eradicated, then we can go back to reconsider the health and happiness - and the dozens of other reasons for stopping.
