I donโt agree with the author, encouraging people to continue relapsing is not goodโฆ
He might have said it to not โstressโ people while reading it but itโs absolutely a bad idea.
But the introduction in general looks promising. Thanks for sharing!

True bro, but I think that itโs the only bad advice in the book.
The thing is, he wants to make people feel comfortable and at ease while reading the book without having the sense of quiting something.
As long as you are absolutely sure that you will read all of the book you mustnโt continue relapsing.

Chapter 2
The Easy Method
Reading Time: 3 minutes
This bookโs objective is directing you into a new frame of mind. In contrast to the usual method of stopping โ whereby you start off with the feeling of climbing Mount Everest and spend the next few weeks craving and feeling deprived โ you start right away with a feeling of elation, as if cured of a terrible disease. From then on, the further you go through life, the more you will look at this period of time and wonder how you ever used any ๐๐๐๐ in the first place. You will look at other ๐๐๐๐ users with pity, as opposed to envy.
Provided that youโre not someone who had never become addicted (reading for your significant other) or had quit (or is in the fasting days of a โ๐๐๐๐ dietโ), itโs essential to keep using until you have finished the book completely. This may appear to be a contradiction, and this instruction to continue masturbating to ๐๐๐๐ causes more objection than any other, but as you read further your desire to use ๐๐๐๐ will gradually be reduced. Take this instruction seriously: Attempting to quit early will not benefit you.
Many donโt finish the book because they feel they have to give something up, some even deliberately only reading one line per day in order to postpone the evil event. Look at it this way, what have you got to lose? If you donโt stop at the end of the book, youโre no worse off than you are now. Itโs by definition a Pascalโs Wager, a bet taken where you have nothing to lose and high chances of large gains.
Incidentally, if you havenโt watched ๐๐๐๐ for a few days or weeks, but arenโt sure whether youโre a ๐๐๐๐ user, ex-user, or a non-user, then donโt use ๐๐๐๐ to masturbate whilst reading. In fact, youโre already a non-user, but we have to let your brain catch up with your body. By the end of the book, youโll be a happy non-user. EasyPeasy is the complete opposite of the normal method, where one lists the considerable disadvantages of ๐๐๐๐ and says:
โIf only I can go long enough without ๐๐๐๐, eventually the desire will go and I can enjoy life again, free of slavery.โ
This is the logical way to go about it, with thousands stopping every day using this method. However, itโs very difficult to succeed for the following reasons:
Stopping PMO isnโt the real problem. Every time you finish your session, youโve stopped using it. You may have powerful reasons on the first day of your once-in-four ๐๐๐๐ diet to say โI donโt want to use ๐๐๐๐, or even masturbate any more.โ All users do, and their reasons are more powerful than you can possibly imagine. The real problem is day two, ten, or ten-thousand where in a weak moment youโll have โjust one peekโ, want another, and suddenly youโre an addict again.
Awareness of the health risks generates more fear, making it more difficult to stop. Tell a user itโs destroying their virility and the first thing theyโll do is reach for something to surge their dopamine: a cigarette, alcohol, or even firing up the browser to search for ๐๐๐๐.
All reasons for stopping actually make it harder. This is due to two reasons. First, weโre continually being forced to give up our โlittle friendโ or some prop, vice, or pleasure (whichever way the user perceives it). Second, they create a โblindโ. We do not masturbate for the reasons we should stop. The real question is, why do we want or need to do it?
With EasyPeasy, we (initially) forget the reasons weโd like to stop, face the ๐๐๐๐ problem and ask ourselves the following questions:
- What is ๐๐๐๐ doing for me?
- Am I actually enjoying it?
- Do I really need to go through life sabotaging my mind and body?
The beautiful truth is that all ๐๐๐๐ does absolutely nothing for you whatsoever. Let me make it quite clear, itโs not that the disadvantages of being a user outweigh the advantages, itโs that there are zero advantages to looking at pornography.
Most users find it necessary to rationalise why they use ๐๐๐๐, but the reasons they come up with are all fallacies and illusions.
First, weโll remove these fallacies and illusions. In fact, youโll soon realise there is nothing to give up. Not only that, but there are marvellous, positive gains from being a non-PMOer, with well-being and happiness only two of these gains. Once illusions that life will never be quite as enjoyable without ๐๐๐๐ is removed โ realising that not only is life just as enjoyable without it but infinitely more so โ and once feelings of being deprived or missing out are eradicated, weโll go back to reconsider increased well-being and happiness โ and the dozens of other reasons for quitting ๐๐๐๐. These realisations will become positive additional aids to help you achieve what you really desire: enjoying your life free from the slavery of ๐๐๐๐ addiction!

Reading Time: 1 minute
Chapter 2 of the book introduces the concept of the โEasyPeasyโ method and contrasts it with the traditional approach to quitting pornography. Here are the key points from this chapter:
-
The EasyPeasy method aims to change the readerโs mindset from the start. Instead of feeling like quitting is a difficult climb, it promises a sense of elation and freedom from the beginning.
-
Some readers may try to avoid finishing the book because they donโt want to give up ๐๐๐๐. The author encourages them to look at it as a risk-free opportunity with much to gain and nothing to lose.
-
The traditional method involves listing the disadvantages of ๐๐๐๐ and trying to resist its allure, but this is challenging because itโs easy to relapse in weak moments.
-
Becoming aware of the health risks of ๐๐๐๐ can create more fear and make quitting even more difficult.
-
With EasyPeasy, readers initially forget the reasons to quit, confront the ๐๐๐๐ problem, and ask themselves questions about the benefits and necessity of ๐๐๐๐.
-
The author claims that ๐๐๐๐ provides no advantages and that all the reasons users come up with to rationalize its use are fallacies and illusions.
-
The book aims to dispel these illusions, helping readers realize there is nothing to give up and that there are positive gains from quitting ๐๐๐๐, such as increased well-being and happiness.
This chapter introduces the novel approach of the EasyPeasy method, focusing on changing the readerโs perspective and challenging the idea that there are any advantages to using pornography.

Chapter 3
Why is it difficult to stop?
Reading Time: 4 minutes
All users feel something evil has possessed them. In the early days, itโs a simple question of โI will stop, just not todayโ. Eventually we progress to believing we havenโt got enough willpower to stop, or that thereโs something inherent in ๐๐๐๐ we must have in order to enjoy life. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ addiction is like clawing our way out of a slippery pit: As we near the top, we see the sunshine, but find ourself sliding back down as our mood dips. Eventually we open our browser, and as we masturbate, we feel awful.
Ask a user, โIf you could go back to the time before you became hooked, with the knowledge you have now, would you have started using ๐๐๐๐?โ
โNO WAY!โ would be the reply.
Ask the confirmed user, someone who defends internet ๐๐๐๐ and doesnโt believe it causes injury to the brain or downregulation of dopamine receptors: โDo you encourage your children to use ๐๐๐๐?โ
โNO WAY!โ is again the reply.
๐ฏ๐๐๐ is an extraordinary enigma. As said previously, the problem isnโt explaining why itโs easy to stop, itโs explaining why itโs difficult to stop. The real problem is explaining why anyone does it after getting insights on neurological damage. Part of the reason we start is because of the other tens of millions already into it, yet all of these people wish they hadnโt started in the first place, telling us itโs like living life in second gear. We donโt quite believe theyโre not enjoying it, as we associate it with freedom or being โsex-educatedโ, and work hard to become hooked ourselves. We then spend the rest of our lives telling others not to do it and trying to kick the habit ourselves, often thinking weโre unique in this.
We also spend a significant proportion of our time feeling hopeless and miserable. โEducatingโ ourselves with the supernormal makes us prefer and long for these cold images, even when warm, real ones are available. Through the constant surge and fall of dopamine induced by PMO, we sentence ourselves to a lifetime of isolation, irritability, anger, stress, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction. Using ๐๐๐๐, with its absence of the best parts of sex and connection, we end up feeling miserable and guilty.
In fact, reading about internet pornographyโs addictive and destructive capabilities here and on other sites makes us even more nervous and hopeless! What sort of hobby is it that when youโre doing it, you wish you werenโt, and when you arenโt, you crave it? Users despise themselves every time they read about hypofrontality and desensitisation, every time they use behind their trusting partnerโs back, and every time they canโt bring themselves to exercise after a daytime session. An otherwise intelligent and rational human being spends all their days in contempt. But worst of all, what do users get from having to endure life with these awful black shadows at the back of their mind? Absolutely nothing!
You might be thinking โThatโs all very well, I know this, but once youโre hooked on these things itโs very difficult to stop.โ But why is it so difficult? Some say itโs because of the powerful withdrawal symptoms, but as youโll soon come to learn, the actual withdrawal symptoms are very mild in fact. And this is evident when you consider that many PMOers have lived and died without realising they were addicts.
Some say internet ๐๐๐๐ is free and hence humankind should claim this biological bonanza, but this is untrueโitโs addictive and acts just like any drug. Ask a user that swears they only enjoy โeroticaโ like Playboy magazines if theyโve ever crossed the line to โunsafe ๐๐๐๐โ. And if they are completely honest, they would confess about the times they had rationalized crossing that line, rather than not use anything at all.
Enjoyment has nothing to do with it either. I enjoy crayfish, but I never got to the point where I had to have crayfish every day. With other things in life, we enjoy them while weโre doing them, but we donโt sit around feeling deprived when weโre not.
Some say:
โItโs educational!โ So how has it made you grow as a person? โItโs sexual satisfaction!โ So why does it isolate you and make you feel insatiable cravings? โItโs a feeling of release!โ Release from the stresses of real life? Ok, for an hour, before it all comes crashing back on you? And what stresses has it solved? โIt helps me sleepโ So why can others sleep just fine without it? There are many scientifically demonstrated methods to fix sleep, and more so.
Many believe that ๐๐๐๐ relieves boredom, but boredom is a frame of mind. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ will habituate you to novelty-seeking in no time, causing you to become increasingly bored until you finally participate in that wild-goose chase for just the right clip, becoming increasingly wired to seek anything that evokes novelty, strong emotion, and eventually, outrageous shock value.
Some say they only do it because their friends and everyone they know does it. If so, pray that your friends donโt start cutting their heads off to cure a headache! Most users who think about it come to conclude that itโs just a habit. This is not really an explanation, but having discounted all the usual, rational explanations, it appears to be the only remaining excuse. Unfortunately, itโs equally illogical. Every day of our lives we change habits, some of them very enjoyable. Weโve been brainwashed to believe that PMO is a habit and that habits are difficult to break.
Are habits difficult to break? Drivers in the US are in the habit of driving on the right hand side of the road, yet when travelling overseas they break the habit with hardly any aggravation whatsoever. And when you get a new job you take on a different routine, so your habits change. These may take some getting used to, but it is nothing like breaking a life long struggle with ๐๐๐๐ addiction. We make and break habits every day of our lives, so why do we find it difficult to break a habit that makes us feel deprived when we donโt have it, guilty when we do, one that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is stop doing it?
The answer is that ๐๐๐๐ isnโt habit, itโs addiction! Thatโs why it appears to be so difficult to โgive upโ. Most users donโt understand addiction and believe that they get some genuine pleasure or crutch from ๐๐๐๐. They believe theyโre making a genuine sacrifice if they quit.
The beautiful truth is that once you understand the true nature of ๐๐๐๐ addiction and the reasons why you use it, youโll stop doing it, just like that. Within three weeks, the only mystery will be why you found it necessary to use ๐๐๐๐ as long as you have and why you canโt persuade other users how nice it is to not be a PMOer!

3.1 The Sinister Trap
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Internet ๐๐๐๐ is a subtle and sinister trap that man and nature have combined to devise. Some of us are even warned about the dangers, but we canโt believe how we arenโt enjoying it. But what gets us into it in the first place? Typically itโs free samples from amateurs and professionals who share. Thatโs how the trap is sprung. If instead it warned us of the dangers of what we were getting into before even making that first peek, then the alarm bells would scream.
But these bells donโt scream. Perhaps itโs the shocking nature of many clips that reassures our young minds weโll never become hooked, thinking because we donโt enjoy them, we can stop whenever we want to. Or maybe the seeming innocence of soft material doesnโt trigger any alarm bells, much like a skillful weavings that a con artist can play to direct our mind. As intelligent human beings, weโd then understand why half the adult population was systematically addicted to something cutting down our very potential to perform what weโre viewing. Curiosity brings us closer to the doorstep of addiction, but we donโt dare to click on the thumbnails weโre glancing at, fearing theyโd make us ill or send us down into a perilous and immoral pathway. And if we accidentally clicked on one, often our only desire is to get away from the page as soon as possible, while at the same time desperately curious even more.
Once this process has started, we are trapped. From now on we spend the rest of our lives trying to understand why we do it, telling our children not to start, and at odd times trying to escape ourselves. The trap is designed such that we try and stop only due to an โincidentโ, whether sexual performance, loss of a career or relationship, shortage of drive or just plain feeling like a leper. As soon as we stop, we have more stress due to withdrawal pangs, and with the method we relied on to remove that stress now unavailable.
Our resolve for quitting then proves to be shaky. After a few days of torture we convince ourselves that weโve picked the wrong time to quit, deciding weโll wait for periods without stress, which upon arriving removes our reason for initially stopping. Of course, that period will never arrive fully, and we begin to believe that our lives tend to become more and more stressful. We leave the protection of our parents, and the stresses of work, homemaking, mortgages, buying shelter, and raising children begins to crowd our lives. But this is an illusion. The most stressful parts of any creatureโs life are actually early childhood and adolescence.
We tend to confuse responsibility and stress. A userโs life โ like a drug addictโs โ automatically becomes more stressful because ๐๐๐๐ doesnโt relax us or relieve stress, as some try to make us believe. Itโs just the reverse, causing us to become more stressed as we continue using, with every guilt laden late night aftermath piling more straw onto the camelโs back. Even users who kick the habit โ as most do one or more times throughout their lives โ can lead perfectly happy lives yet suddenly become hooked again. Wandering into the pornographic maze, our minds become hazy and we spend the rest of our lives trying to escape. Many do succeed, only to fall into the sinister trap at a later date.
Solving the problem of ๐๐๐๐ addiction is a riddle. It is complex and difficult. But once you see the answer, itโs simple and fun, and you wonder why you didnโt think of that! EasyPeasy contains the solution to this puzzle, leading you out of the maze, never wandering in again. All you have to do is follow every instruction to the letter. However, if you take a wrong turn by jumping chapters, or blazing through the book at lightning speed without carefully making a deliberate effort on your first time reading, then the rest of the instructions are pointless.
Anyone can find it easy to stop, but we must first establish the facts. No, not facts designed to scare you, thereโs already more than enough information out there. If that was going to stop you, youโd have already stopped. But why do we find it difficult to stop? Answering this requires us to know the real reason weโre still using ๐๐๐๐, boiling down to two factors. They are:
- Nature and internet ๐๐๐๐.
- Societal brainwashing.
๐ฏ๐๐๐ users are intelligent, rational human beings. They know theyโre taking enormous future risks so they spend lots of time rationalising their โhabitโ. But ๐๐๐๐ users in their hearts know theyโre fools, knowing they had no need to use ๐๐๐๐ before becoming hooked. Most remember that their first โpeekโ was a mix of revulsion and novel curiosity. They then specialise in locating, filtering and bookmarking sites, working hard to become hooked.
Most annoyingly, thereโs the sense that non-addicts โ most women, older guys, and people living in countries where high-speed internet ๐๐๐๐ is unavailable โ arenโt missing out on anything and find the situation laughable. By dismantling these factors in the next chapters, you too will understand the sinister trap!

Summarization 3
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Chapter 3 explores the question of why itโs difficult to stop using ๐๐๐๐, even when users are aware of its negative effects. Here are the key points from the introduction of the chapter:
-
Users often feel like something evil has possessed them. In the early days, they may believe they will stop but keep postponing it. As time goes on, they might think they lack the willpower to quit or that they need ๐๐๐๐ to enjoy life.
-
๐ฏ๐๐๐ addiction is compared to trying to climb out of a slippery pit. The more users struggle, the further they slip back into the addiction. They may feel elation initially but end up feeling awful after using ๐๐๐๐.
-
Users who have insights into the neurological damage caused by ๐๐๐๐ still continue to use it, and they express regret for starting in the first place.
-
The chapter points out the enigmatic nature of ๐๐๐๐ addiction, emphasizing that itโs not explaining why itโs easy to stop thatโs challenging but rather why users do it even when they are aware of the harm it causes.
-
The author notes that PMO (๐๐๐๐, masturbation, orgasm) is associated with constant dopamine surges and falls, leading to a range of negative emotions, including isolation, irritability, anger, stress, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction.
-
The chapter highlights the paradox where users continue to use something they dislike, wish they hadnโt started, and regret.
-
It is suggested that the withdrawal symptoms from ๐๐๐๐ are mild, as evidenced by many PMOers living and dying without realizing they were addicts.
-
The chapter addresses misconceptions about ๐๐๐๐, such as the idea that itโs free and should be claimed as a biological bonanza.
-
Enjoyment, education, sexual satisfaction, release from stress, and relief from boredom are mentioned as reasons people believe they use ๐๐๐๐. The chapter challenges these explanations.
-
The chapter emphasizes that breaking habits is not inherently difficult, and people change habits frequently. The reason quitting ๐๐๐๐ appears difficult is that itโs not a habit but an addiction.
-
The author suggests that understanding the true nature of ๐๐๐๐ addiction and the reasons behind using it can lead to quitting it easily.
The Sinister Trap
This part sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the nature of addiction and aims to provide insights into why it can be challenging to stop using ๐๐๐๐ despite being aware of its detrimental effects.
- Habits and addictions are two distinct concepts with significant differences:
Habit:
- Routine Behavior: A habit is a repetitive behavior that a person performs regularly. Itโs often a routine or automatic action.
- Conscious Choice: Habits are usually formed consciously. People choose to engage in specific behaviors, and over time, these behaviors become ingrained.
- Limited Impact on Well-being: Habits, in most cases, donโt have a significant negative impact on a personโs well-being. They can be positive or negative, but they donโt typically lead to harmful consequences.
- Relatively Easy to Change: Habits can be changed with awareness, effort, and determination. People can decide to quit a habit and succeed with some commitment.
Addiction:
- Compulsive Behavior: Addiction involves a compulsive, often uncontrollable behavior or substance use. People with addictions feel a strong urge to engage in the behavior or consume the substance.
- Loss of Control: Addictions are characterized by a loss of control. Individuals find it difficult to stop the behavior or substance use even when they want to quit or know itโs harmful.
- Negative Impact on Well-being: Addictions have a significant negative impact on physical, mental, and social well-being. They can lead to health problems, impaired relationships, and other adverse consequences.
- Difficulty in Change: Overcoming addiction is much more challenging than changing a habit. It often requires professional treatment, therapy, and support to address the underlying causes and break the addictive cycle.
-
In this section, the author describes the subtle and sinister nature of internet ๐๐๐๐ addiction. Users often find themselves ensnared in this trap without realizing the depth of the problem. Initially, free samples and curiosity lure them in, but alarm bells donโt ring. Shocking content sometimes reassures them they wonโt get hooked, but they gradually become curious and trapped.
-
The addictive nature of ๐๐๐๐ addiction keeps users stuck in a cycle of rationalization, withdrawal pangs, and attempted escapes. The reasons for quitting become shaky, often postponed until a โbetterโ time. Users might confuse responsibility with stress, believing life gets more stressful as they age, yet they fail to realize that childhood and adolescence are often the most stressful periods. The habit of using ๐๐๐๐ doesnโt alleviate stress but exacerbates it, creating a cycle of guilt and self-contempt.
-
While solving the riddle of ๐๐๐๐ addiction is complex, the author promises to provide the solution, which lies in understanding the factors of nature and societal brainwashing. The text emphasizes that once these factors are dismantled, users can understand the sinister trap of ๐๐๐๐ addiction.

Chapter 4
Nature
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Internet ๐๐๐๐ works through hijacking natural reward mechanisms designed to keep you reproducing for as long as possible. Internet ๐๐๐๐โs instant and highly accessible form keeps the brainโs reward mechanism producing dopamine for significantly longer than normally possible. Scientifically, this is called the Coolidge effect, which you might already be aware of.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of wanting, with actual pleasure produced by opioids. More dopamine, more opioids and more action. Without dopamine, actions such as eating donโt feel pleasurable and arenโt completed, with high fat and sugar foods producing the highest chemical release.
Dopamine is also released in response to novelty. With a seemingly infinite amount of pornography available this floods the limbic system (reward circuit), so the first time you see ๐๐๐๐ you act, orgasming and triggering another flood of opioids. Incentivised to get as much dopamine as possible, the brain stores this as a script for easy recall and strengthens neural pathways through the release of a chemical called DeltaFosB. Now, the brain calls up these pathways in response to cues such as sxy commercials, alone time, stress or even feeling a little down and suddenly youโre ready to take a ride on the โwater slideโ. Every time this is repeated, more DeltaFosB is released so the water slide is greased, alive and easier to ride down the next time.
The limbic system has a self correcting system to trim the number of dopamine and opioid receptors when frequent and daily flooding of dopamine is detected. Unfortunately, these receptors are also needed to keep us motivated to handle daily life stresses. Nominal amounts of dopamine produced by natural rewards simply donโt compare to pornography and arenโt as efficiently absorbed by the decreased receptors, leading you into feel more stressed and irritated than normal. This process is known as desensitisation.
In this cycle you crossed the โred lineโ and triggered emotions such as guilt, disgust, embarrassment, anxiety and fear, which in turn raise dopamine levels even higher and cause the brain to misinterpret these feelings as sexual arousal.
As time passes, not only is the brain desensitised to previous clips itโs seen, but also similar genres and shock level. This lower motivation triggers feelings of lower satisfaction as our brains engage in constant rating, pushing you to find clips to satisfy the hunger. So you seek more novelty, clicking on the amateurish, shock inducing clip on the homepage you confidently said you wouldnโt on your first visit.
โFor in the dew of little things the heart finds itโs morning and is refreshedโ
โ Kahlil Gibran
A fleeting feeling of security is all thatโs needed to get through a rough spot in life, but will your desensitised brain be able to catch that drop of destresser that a non-userโs brain is able to use?
Dopamine flooding acts like a quick acting drug, falling quickly and inducing withdrawal pangs. Many users have the illusion these pangs are the terrible trauma they suffer when trying or being forced to stop. In fact, theyโre primarily mental since the user is feeling deprived of their pleasure or prop.

4.1 The Little Monster
Reading Time: 1 minute
The actual chemical withdrawal from ๐๐๐๐ is so subtle that most users have lived and died without realising theyโre drug addicts. Many users have a fear of drugs, yet thatโs exactly what they are, drug addicts. Fortunately itโs an easy drug to kick, but you first need to accept that you are, in fact, addicted. Withdrawal from ๐๐๐๐ doesnโt cause any physical pain and is merely an empty, restless feeling of something missing, which is why many believe itโs something to do with sexual desire. Prolonged, this feeling becomes nervousness, insecurity, agitation, low confidence and irritability. Itโs like hunger, for a poison.
Within seconds of engaging in a session, dopamine is supplied and the craving ends, resulting in a feeling of fulfillment as you whiz down the water slide. In the early days, withdrawal pangs and their subsequent relief are so slight weโre unaware of them. When we become regular users, we believe itโs because weโve come to enjoy them or gotten into the โhabitโ. The truth being that weโre already hooked but donโt realise it. The little monster is already in our brains, so every once and a while we take trips down the water slide to feed it.
All users begin seeking ๐๐๐๐ for irrational reasons. The only reason anybody continues using ๐๐๐๐, whether theyโre a casual or heavy user, is to feed that little monster. The whole conundrum is a series of cruel and confusing punishments, but perhaps the most pathetic aspect is the sense of enjoyment a user gets from a session, trying to get back to the sense of peace, tranquility and confidence their body had before becoming hooked in the first place.

4.2 The Annoying Alarm
Reading Time: 2 minutes
You know that feeling when a neighbourโs home alarm has been ringing all day โ or some other minor persistent aggravation โ then the noise suddenly stops and marvellous feelings of peace and tranquility wash over you? This isnโt really peace, but the ending of an aggravation. Before starting the next session our bodies are complete, but then we begin forcing our brains to pump dopamine and when weโre done and it begins to leave, we suffer withdrawal pangs. These arenโt physical pain, merely an empty feeling. We arenโt even aware it exists but itโs like a dripping tap inside our bodies.
Our rational minds donโt understand it, but they donโt need to. All we know is that we want ๐๐๐๐ and when we masturbate the craving goes. However, the satisfaction is fleeting because in order to relieve the craving more ๐๐๐๐ is required. As soon as you orgasm, the craving starts again and the trap continues to hold you. A feedback loop, unless you break it!
The ๐๐๐๐ trap is similar to wearing tight shoes just to obtain the pleasure of taking them off. There are three primary reasons why users canโt see it this way.
- From birth, weโve been subjected to massive amounts of brainwashing telling us internet ๐๐๐๐ is simply another modern development that replaced the print version of ๐๐๐๐. This fallacy is packaged with the truth that masturbation isnโt harmful, so why shouldnโt we believe them?
- Because physical dopamine withdrawal involves no actual pain, merely an empty insecure feeling inseparable from hunger and normal stress, this feeling manifests into a ๐๐๐๐ session as those are the very times we tend to seek internet ๐๐๐๐. We tend to regard this feeling as normal.
- However, the primary reason users fail to see internet ๐๐๐๐ in its true light is due to it working back to front. Itโs when youโre not consuming it that you suffer the empty feeling. Because the process of getting hooked is incredibly subtle and gradual in the early days, the empty feeling is regarded as normal and so isnโt blamed on the previous session. The moment the browser is fired up and you begin your session, you get an immediate boost and become less nervous or more relaxed, so internet ๐๐๐๐ gets the credit.
This โback to frontโ reverse process makes all drugs difficult to kick. Imagine the state of panic of a heroin addict without any heroin; now picture their utter joy when they can finally plunge a needle into their vein. People who arenโt addicted to heroin donโt suffer that panicked feeling.
The heroin doesnโt relieve the feeling, it causes it. Similarly, non-users donโt suffer empty feelings of needing internet ๐๐๐๐, or panic when theyโre offline. Non-users canโt understand how users possibly obtain pleasure from two-dimensional videos with muted sounds and abnormal body proportions. Eventually, users canโt understand either.
We talk about internet ๐๐๐๐ being relaxing or satisfying, but how can you be satisfied unless you were dissatisfied in the first place? A non-user doesnโt suffer from this unsatisfied state, completely relaxed after a no-sex date, while the user isnโt until theyโve satisfied their โlittle monsterโ.

4.3 A pleasure or a crutch?
Reading Time: 1.5 minutes
An important reminder โ the main reason that users find it difficult to quit is due to the belief theyโre giving up a genuine pleasure or crutch. Itโs essential to understand that youโre giving up absolutely nothing whatsoever. The best way to understand the subtleties of the ๐๐๐๐ trap is comparing it with eating. The habit of regular meals causes us to not feel hungry between, only aware of hunger if the meal is delayed. Thereโs no physical pain, just an empty insecure feeling recognised as hunger. The process of satisfying our hunger is a very pleasant experience.
Pornography appears to be almost identical, but itโs not. Like hunger, thereโs no physical pain and the reward mechanism behaves in similar ways, but itโs this similarity to eating that tricks the user into believing thereโs a genuine pleasure or crutch. Although eating and ๐๐๐๐ appear to be very similar, in reality theyโre exact opposites.
- You eat to survive and energise your life, whereas ๐๐๐๐ dims and cuts down your mojo.
- Food genuinely tastes good and eating is a genuinely pleasant experience that we enjoy throughout our lives. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ involves self-sabotaging the happiness receptors and thus destroys your chances to cope and feel happy.
- Eating doesnโt create hunger and genuinely relieves it, whereas the first ๐๐๐๐ session starts the craving for dopamine and each subsequent session. Far from relieving it, it ensures suffering for the rest of your life.
Is eating a habit? If you think so, try breaking it completely! To describe eating as habit would be like describing breathing as a habit โ both are essential for survival. Itโs true that people have the habit of satisfying their hunger at different times with varying types of food, but eating itself isnโt habit. Neither is ๐๐๐๐. The only reason a user fires up the browser is trying to end the empty feelings the previous session created, at different times with varying escalating genres.
On the internet, ๐๐๐๐ is frequently referred to as a habit and for convenience EasyPeasy also refers to the โhabitโ. However, be constantly aware that ๐๐๐๐ isnโt habit, itโs drug addiction! When we start to use ๐๐๐๐, we have to force ourselves to cope with it. Before we know it, weโre escalating into increasingly bizarre and shocking ๐๐๐๐. The thrill is in the hunting, not the killing, with dopamine rapidly leaving the body after orgasm, explaining why users want to โedgeโ (delaying orgasm) through flicking between multiple browser windows and tabs.

4.4 Crossing the red line
Reading Time: 2 minutes
As with any other drug, the body tends to develop immunity to the effects of the same old clips, our brain wanting more or something else. After short periods of watching the same clip it ceases to completely relieve the withdrawal pangs that the previous session created. Thereโs a tug of war occurring in this ๐๐๐๐ paradise: you want to stay on the safe side of your โred lineโ, but your brain is asking you to click on the forbidden-fruit clip.
You feel better after engaging in this ๐๐๐๐ session, but youโre more nervous and less relaxed than someone who never started, even though youโre living in a supposed ๐๐๐๐ paradise. This position is even more ridiculous than wearing tight shoes because as you go through life an ever-increasing amount of discomfort remains after taking the shoes off. Because the user knows the little monster has to be fed, they themselves decide the time, which tends to be on four types of occasions or a combination of them:
Boredom / Concentration โ Two complete opposites!
Stress / Relaxation โ Two complete opposites!
What magic drug can suddenly reverse the very effect it had minutes before? The truth is that ๐๐๐๐ neither relieves boredom and stress nor promotes concentration and relaxation. If you think about it, what other types of occasions are there in our lives, bar sleep? If you have ideas of toning down to other types of โrealisticโ or โsoftโ genres of ๐๐๐๐, please note that the content of this book applies to all ๐๐๐๐ โ print, webcams, pay-per-view, chat, live shows, etc. The human body is the most sophisticated object on the planet, but no species, even the lowest amoeba or worm, survives without knowing the difference between food and poison.
Through natural selection our minds and bodies have developed techniques for rewarding actions that multiply and sustain humanity. Theyโre not prepared for supernormal stimuli that are bigger, brighter and edgier than anything found in nature, since even the most muted two-dimensional image causes us to become aroused. But repeatedly look at the same image and you wonโt be. In real life, checks and balances ensure you do something else but internet ๐๐๐๐ has no such limiter, causing you to spend your life in a virtual harem!
Itโs a fallacy that physically and mentally weak people become users, the lucky ones being those who found their first instance repulsive and are cured for life. Alternatively, they arenโt mentally prepared to go through the severe learning process of fighting to get themselves hooked, fears of โgetting caughtโ or not being technical enough to operate browser privacy settings. Perhaps the most tragic part of the whole business relates to teenagers โ skilled in finding material and covering their tracks โ who start in increasing number.
Enjoying internet ๐๐๐๐ is an illusion. Jumping from genre to genre, merely keeping our novelty โmonkeyโ within the โred lineโ of โsafeโ ๐๐๐๐ genres in order to get our dopamine fix. Like heroin addicts, all theyโre really enjoying is the ritual of relieving those pangs.

4.5 The High From the Dance Around The Red Line
Reading Time: 1.5 minutes
Even with the one clip thatโs lingered on, users constantly teach themselves to filter out the bad and ugly portions of ๐๐๐๐ clips. Even if itโs solo, they still filter on the body parts that appeal to them the most. In fact, some take pleasure in this dance around the red line, finding excuses to declare they like the โsoft stuffโ and are unaddicted to supernormal stimuli. But ask a user who believes they stick to a certain actor or genre, โIf you cannot get your normal brand of ๐๐๐๐ and can only obtain an unsafe genre, do you stop masturbating?โ
No way! A user will masturbate to anything, escalating genres, differences in sex orientation, look-alike performers, dangerous settings, shocking relationships, anything to sate the little monster. To begin with they taste awful, but given enough time youโll learn to enjoy them. Users will seek empty fulfillment after having real sex, after a long work day, fever, colds, flu, sore throats and even during admittance in hospitals.
Enjoyment has nothing to do with it; if sex is wanted, it makes no sense to be with your laptop. Some users find it alarming to realise theyโre drug addicts and believe this will make it even more difficult to stop. In fact, this is good news for two important reasons.
- The reason why most continue using is because although we know the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, we believe thereโs something in ๐๐๐๐ that we actually enjoy or that it acts like some sort of prop. Weโre under the illusion that after we stop using there will be a void, certain situations in our lives never being quite the same. In fact ๐๐๐๐ not only provides nothing, it subtracts.
- Although internet ๐๐๐๐ is the most powerful trigger for novelty and sex-based dopamine-flooding, because of the speed you become hooked, youโre never badly hooked. The actual withdrawal pangs are so mild that most users have lived and died without realising theyโve suffered them.
Why is it then that many users find it so difficult to stop, going through months of torture and spending the rest of their lives pining for it at odd times? The answer is the second reason, brainwashing. The neurotransmitter addiction is easy to cope with, most users going for days without online ๐๐๐๐ on business trips or travel, unaffected by withdrawal pangs. Their little monster is safe in the knowledge youโll open your laptop as soon as you return to your hotel room. You can survive your obnoxious client and your megalomaniac manager, knowing the fix is there for your taking.

4.6 The Smokers Analogy
Reading Time: 1.5 minutes
A good analogy is that of the cigarette smoker. If they went ten hours of the day without a cigarette theyโd be tearing their hair out, but many smokers will buy a new car and refrain from smoking in it. Many will visit theatres, supermarkets, churches and being unable to smoke causes them no problems. Even on trains and airplanes there have been no riots. Smokers are almost pleased for someone or something to stop them smoking.
Users will automatically refrain from using internet ๐๐๐๐ in their parentsโ home during family gatherings and other events with little discomfort. In fact, most users have extended periods during which they abstain without effort. The neurological little monster is easy to cope with even when youโre still addicted. There are millions of users who remain casual users all their lives and theyโre just as addicted as the heavy user. There are even heavy users whoโve kicked the addiction but have an occasional peek, greasing the water slide to be ridden down at the next dip in mood.
As said previously the actual ๐๐๐๐ addiction isnโt the main problem, itโs simply acting as a catalyst to keeping our minds confused over the real problem โ brainwashing. Donโt think the bad effects of internet ๐๐๐๐ are exaggerated, however; if anything, theyโre sadly understated. Occasionally, rumours circulate that the neural pathways created are there for life, with the right mix of chance and stimulus sending you down the life-ruining water slide again, but these are untrue. Our brains and bodies are miraculous machines, recovering within a matter of weeks.
Itโs never too late to stop! A quick browse of online communities will show you people of all ages rebooting their (and their partnerโs) lives. As with anything, some do take it to the next level, practicing semen retention, Karezza and through differentiation of the sensory and propagative sides of sex make their partners happier than ever before.
It may be of consolation to lifelong and heavy users that itโs just as easy for them to stop as casual users, and in a peculiar way itโs easier. The further it drags you down, the greater the relief. When I stopped I went straight to zero and didnโt have one bad pang. In fact, the process was actually enjoyable even during the withdrawal period.
But first, we must remove the brainwashing.

Brainwashing
Reading Time: 1 minute
This is the second reason we start using. Understanding this brainwashing fully required us to first examine the powerful effects of supernormal stimulus. Our brains simply arenโt prepared for the creation of an โonline haremโ, allowing us to flick between more potential mates in fifteen minutes than our ancestors had in several lifetimes.
Thereโs been much misguided advice in the past, one example being that masturbation leads to blindness. This, along with other scare tactics, clearly overdid it. Misconceptions such as these were right to be overthrown by science. But the baby has been thrown out with the bath water; from our earliest years our subconscious minds are bombarded with sexual messages and imagery, magazines and advertisements loaded with innuendo. Some pop videos are extremely suggestive, but donโt despair, make it a game to identify what components theyโre using โ is it shock value, novelty, colour, size, taboo, nostalgia, etc. Such a game can even be taught to pre-teens as a way to educate them.
At its core, the message is โThe most precious thing on this earth, my last thought and action, will be orgasm.โ Is this exaggeration? Watch any TV or movie plot and youโll see the mix up of the sensory (touch, smell, voice) and the propagative (orgasmic) parts of sex. The impact of this doesnโt register on our conscious, but the subconscious has time to absorb it.

5.1 Scientific reasoning
Reading Time: 30 seconds
Thereโs publicity the other way: sexual dysfunction scares, loss of motivation, preferring virtual ๐๐๐๐ to real girls, YourBrainOnPorn.com and various internet subcultures, but these movements donโt actually stop people from using. Logically speaking they should, but the simple fact is they donโt. Even the health risks listed from peer-reviewed studies on YourBrainOnPorn.com arenโt enough to stop an adolescent from starting.
Ironically, the most powerful force in this confusion is the user themselves. Itโs a fallacy that users are weak-willed or physically weak people. You have to be physically strong in order to cope with an addiction after you know it exists. Perhaps the most painful aspect is that they place themselves as unsuccessful losers and insufferable introverts. Itโs likely that a friend could be more interesting in person if they hadnโt put themselves down for seeking self-pleasure.
