I have been thinking a lot about urges which leads us towards pmo.
We try to abstain from sexual thoughts and ■■■■ to overcom the pmo cycle.
I have observed that initially when we were unaware about ■■■■ and masterbation, we had some kind of sexual excitement but we didn’t know what it is and what to actually do.
Then somehow we came to know about masterbation through our friends or videos.
The point here is that it must have took a lot of energy (neural changes in our brain) to form the habit of watching ■■■■, masterbating and having an orgasm.
Initially it takes a long time to have an orgasm but after a lot of repetition the neural circuits are modified in such a way that it leads us to orgasm quickly.
So when we try to leave this long formed habit, our brain keeps on checking if these circuits are required or not (as lot of energy and time was used to form this habit and it was very rewarding).
As we, through our thoughts and emotions try to tell our brain to get rid of pmo by abstaining from ■■■■ and sexual thoughts.
So, in several days interval our brain gives us signal by firing the neurons that were used to make us watch ■■■■, or the circuits that make us to masterbate and have orgasm in order to check if these circuits are required or not.
If we keep our guards up, our brain may eventually realise that we don’t require these circuits anymore and the signals given by us to our brain that these habits are causing us harm is true. It will completely wipe out these circuits and may help us in overcoming pmo.
It is just my observation.
