How come urges seem to last for hours before giving in?

When an urge comes, it never goes away until I give in. Am I permanently trapped?

Urges are the temptation to do the activity. Like if your favorite food is lying in front of you then the temptation to eat it will stay untill you eat it or you decide not to. PMO is like your favorite food available to you all the time. So you need iron will and intense self control to cope with it. You may distract yourself with exercise, meditation, or any other activity. But this is just temporary relief, remember the temptation will rise again. So ultimately it comes to your decision if you wanna do it or not.
