The Easy Peasy Way To Quit 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇

5.4 Withdrawal Pangs

Reading Time: 1 minute

As explained earlier, users believe they use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 for enjoyment, relaxation or some sort of education. The actual reason is relief of withdrawal pangs. Our subconscious mind begins to learn that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and masturbation at certain times tends to be pleasurable. As we become increasingly hooked on the drug, the greater the need to relieve the withdrawal pangs becomes and the further the subtle trap drags you down. This process happens so slowly that you aren’t even aware of it, most young users don’t realise they’re addicted until attempting to stop and even then, many won’t admit it.

Take this conversation a therapist had with hundreds of teenagers:

Therapist: “You realise that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a drug and the only reason why you’re using is that you cannot stop.”

Patient: “Nonsense! I enjoy it, if I didn’t, I would stop.”

Therapist: “Just stop for a week to prove to me you can if you want to.”

Patient: “No need, I enjoy it. If I wanted to stop, I would.”

Therapist: “Just stop for a week to prove to yourself you aren’t hooked.”

Patient: “What’s the point? I enjoy it.”

As already stated, users tend to relieve their withdrawal pangs at times of stress, boredom, concentration or combinations of these. In the following chapters, we’ll target these aspects of the brainwashing.

Reading Time: 1 minute

5.0 Brainwashing

1. Purpose of Internet Brainwashing: The chapter explores the idea of internet brainwashing as a reason for using, focusing on the impact of supernormal stimuli and the overwhelming accessibility to potential mates online.

2. Media Influence: Discusses the constant exposure to sexual messages in media, pop culture, and advertisements, emphasizing the need to educate individuals, even pre-teens, about the underlying messages.

5.1 Scientific Reasoning:

1. Ineffectiveness of Scare Tactics: Points out the failure of scare tactics and health warnings to deter adolescents from starting internet pornography use.

2. User’s Paradox: Highlights the misconception that users are weak-willed, emphasizing that addiction requires physical strength to cope once awareness exists.

5.2 Problems using Willpower:

1. Impact on Self-Discipline: Describes the negative consequences of attempting to quit using willpower, including self-loathing and the depletion of willpower affecting other life projects.

2. Deceptive Self-Assessment: Warns against self-deception regarding the nature of the content watched, emphasizing the strain on willpower and the potential cascading effects on other life areas.

5.3 Passivity:

1. Dependency on Authority: Discusses the primary challenge of giving up 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 being the passivity of minds and dependence on societal norms, reinforced by addiction and social influences.

2. Changing Perspective: Encourages a shift in perspective from “giving up” to “stopping” or “quitting,” emphasizing the positive gains rather than a perceived sacrifice.

5.4 Withdrawal Pangs:

1. Unconscious Addiction: Explores how users may not realize they are addicted until attempting to quit, often denying their addiction due to the perceived enjoyment.

2. Therapeutic Challenge: Describes a therapist’s conversation with a patient, highlighting the denial of addiction and the challenge of proving the ability to stop for a week.

3. Targeting Brainwashing: Teases upcoming chapters that will address aspects of brainwashing related to stress, boredom, and concentration.

Brainwashing Aspects

Reading Time: 1 minute

The 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 trap’s big monster is bred through the culmination of many aspects, including societal forces, media portrayals, peers and the user’s own internal narrative. Failure to deconstruct these fallacies whilst using the willpower method eventually leads to feelings of deprivation, leading the user back into the trap. Deconstruction of the imagined value of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is crucial for success and allows you to see where you’re being robbed!

Of importance to note is the link between brainwashing and fear. It’s fear of feeling future withdrawal pangs that create the pangs. Fear is the pang itself. Think about when you’ve had withdrawal symptoms such as sweaty palms, shortness of breath, sleeping problems and an inability to think straight. Now think of similar situations when you’ve had those feelings: job interviews, nerves around an attractive person, public speaking, etc. These are the same anxious feelings the fear causes. Simply put, how can a physical drug still hook people months after stopping? It must be mentally, correct?

[Binocular]

6.1 Stress

Reading Time: 2.5 minutes

Not only great tragedies in life, but also minor stresses drive users into the forbidden ‘unsafe’ area previously excluded. Stresses include socialising, phone calls, anxieties of the housewife with young children, and many others. Let’s take phone calls as an example, particularly for a businessperson. Most calls aren’t from satisfied customers or your boss congratulating you, there’s some sort of aggravation. Coming home to mundane family life of kids screaming and their partner’s emotional demands causes the user — if they aren’t already doing so — to fantasise the relief of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 promised that night. They unconsciously suffer withdrawal pangs, destressors weakened and unprepared for additional aggravation. Partially relieving the pangs at the same time as normal stress, the total is reduced and the user gets a temporary boost. The boost isn’t an illusion, the user does genuinely feel better than before, but they’re more tense than they would be as a non-user.

The following example isn’t designed to shock you — EasyPeasy promises no such treatment — but is to emphasise that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 destroys your nerves rather than relaxing them.

Try to imagine getting to the stage where you’re unable to be aroused, even with a very sxy and attractive partner. For a moment, pause and try to visualise life where a very lovely and charming person has to compete and fail with the virtual 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 stars occupying your ‘harem’ to get your attention. Imagine the frame of mind of a person who, when issued with that warning, continues using and dies without ever having real sex with this charming and willing partner. It’s easy to dismiss these people as weirdos, but stories like these aren’t fakes — this is what the awful novelty of the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 drug does to your brain. The more you go through life, the more courage is sapped and the more you’re deluded into believing 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is doing the opposite.

Have you ever been overtaken by panic when out of the blue the WiFi stops working or is too slow? Non-users don’t suffer from it, as internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 causes that feeling. As you go through life, it systematically destroys your nerve and courage, leaving DeltaFosB to form powerful neural water slides in its wake, progressively destroying your ability to say no. By the stage where virility has been killed, the user believes 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is their new partner and is unable to face life without it.

Internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 isn’t relieving your nerves, it’s slowly destroying them. One of the great gains of breaking the addiction is the return of your natural confidence and self-assurance.

There’s no need to rate yourself on your ability to satisfy a partner — this isn’t freedom. But this freedom cannot be obtained by continuing to grease the dopamine water slide in ways that undercut your happiness and libido by repeating the same destructive behaviour.

6.2 Boredom

Reading Time: 1.75 minutes

If you’re like many people, as soon as you climb into bed you’re already on your favorite 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 site, probably already forgetting until reminded. It’s become second nature. Similarly, 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 relieving boredom is another fallacy because boredom is a frame of mind, occurring when you’ve been deprived for a long time or are trying to cut down.

The actual situation is this, when you’re addicted to the supernormal pull of internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and then try to abstain, it feels like there’s something missing. If you have something to occupy your mind that isn’t stressful, you can go for long periods of time without being bothered by the absence of the drug. However, when you’re bored there’s nothing to take your mind off it, so you feed the monster. When you’re indulging yourself and not trying to stop or cut down, even firing up private browsing becomes subconscious. This ritual is automatic; if the user tries to remember sessions during the last week, they’re only able to remember a small proportion of them, like the very last one or the session after a long abstinence.

The truth being that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 increases boredom indirectly because orgasms make you feel lethargic and instead of undertaking an energetic activity, users tend to prefer lounging around, bored and relieving their withdrawal pangs. Countering the brainwashing is important because users tend to view 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 when bored, our brains wired to interpret 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 as interesting. Similarly, we’ve also been brainwashed into believing sex — even bad sex — aids relaxation. It’s a fact that when sad or under stress, couples want to have sex. In the absence of discrimination between tantric and propagative sex, watch how quickly you want to get away from each other after the mandatory orgasm is achieved. If the couple had just decided to hug, speak or cuddle and go to sleep, they’d have felt relieved.

[Binocular]

6.3 Concentration

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Masturbation and sex don’t help concentration — when you’re trying to concentrate you automatically try and avoid distractions. Therefore, when a user wants to concentrate, they don’t even think — automatically opening the browser, feeding the little monster and partially ending the craving. They get on with the matter at hand, already forgetting they’ve viewed 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. After years of dopamine-flooding the neurological changes affect abilities such as accessing information, planning and impulse control.

You’re also driven to provide novelty for the next session as the same stuff no longer generates enough dopamine and opioids. So you’ll have to roam the internet streets for novelty, fighting the pull to cross the line towards shocking material, which in turn generates more stress and leaves you unfulfilled after finishing.

Concentration is also adversely affected as the dopamine receptors are culled due to natural tolerance to the large surges, reducing the benefit of smaller dopamine boosts from natural destressors. Your concentration and inspiration will be greatly boosted as this process is reduced. For many, it’s the concentration aspect that prevents them from succeeding with the willpower method: they could put up with the irritability and bad temper, but the failure to concentrate on something difficult once their crutch is removed ruins many.

Loss of concentration that users suffer when trying to escape isn’t due to the absence of sex, let alone 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. You have mental blocks when you’re addicted to something and when you have a mental block, what do you do? You fire up the browser — which doesn’t cure the block — so then what do you do? You do what you have to do, getting on with it just as non-users do.

When you’re a user nothing is blamed on the cause: users never have sexual dysfunction, just occasional downtime. The moment you stop using, everything that goes wrong is blamed on the reason you stopped. Now when you have a mental block, instead of just getting on with it, you begin to say “If only I could check my harem now, it would solve all my problems”. You then begin to question your decision to quit and escape from the slavery.

If you believe that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a genuine aid to concentration, worrying about it will guarantee that you’ll be unable to concentrate. Doubt, not the physical withdrawal pangs, creates the problem. Always remember, it’s the user who suffers pangs, not non-users.

6.4 Relaxation

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Most users think that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 helps them to relax. It doesn’t. The frantic search to get the fix in those ‘dark alleys of the internet’ and the internal struggle of straining at the leash to cross the red line certainly doesn’t sound like a very relaxing activity.

As night rolls in after a trip to a new place or a long day, we sit down to relax, relieving our hunger, thirst and are completely satisfied. The user is not, as they have another hunger to satisfy. Users think of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 as the icing on the cake, but in actuality it’s the ‘little monster’ that needs feeding. The truth is that the addict can never be completely relaxed and going through life it gets exponentially worse. Take one online comment from an ex-user:

“I really believed that I had an evil demon in my make up, I now know that I had, however it wasn’t some inherent flaw in my character but the little internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 monster that was creating the problem. During those times I thought I had all the problems in the world, but when I look back on my life I wonder where all the great stress was. In everything else in my life I was in control, only thing controlling me was 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 slavery. The sad thing is that even today I can’t convince my children that it was the slavery that caused me to be so irritable.”

Every time I hear 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addicts trying to justify their addiction the message is, “Oh it helps me to relax.” Take the online account of a single dad whose six year old son wanted to share his bed in the night after a scary movie, but the dad would refuse so that he could have his session and edge for hours.

Here’s another smoking analogy, a couple of years ago adoption authorities threatened to prevent smokers from adopting children. A man rang up, irate. “You’re completely wrong”, he said, “I can remember when I was a child, if I had a contentious matter to raise with my mother, I would wait until she lit a cigarette because she was more relaxed then.” Why couldn’t the man talk to his mother when she wasn’t smoking a cigarette?

Why are some users so stressed when they’re not getting their fix, even after real sex? One story online details a man working in the advertising field having 9s and 10s open for dates at any time, but lost interest in taking them out for dinner as internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 was far easier, involved no restaurant spending and had no possibility of a ‘no’ from his date at the end of an evening. Why be bothered when his little monster keeps him craving the low-risk, high-reward scheme at his fingertips upon reaching home?

Why are non-users completely relaxed then? Why are users not able to relax without a fix for a day or two? Read about the experience of a user taking the abstinence oath and quitting and you’ll notice the struggle with temptations: clearly not relaxed at all when no longer allowed to have the ‘only pleasure’ they are ‘entitled to enjoy’. They’ve forgotten what it’s like to be completely relaxed. 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 can be likened to a fly being caught in a pitcher plant, to begin with the fly is eating the nectar but at some imperceptible stage the plant begins to eat the fly.

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

6.5 Energy

Reading Time: 2.75 minutes

Most users are aware of the progressive effects 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇’s novelty- and escalation-seeking has on their brain’s reward and sexual systems. However, they aren’t aware of the effect it has on their energy level.

One of the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 trap’s subtleties is that the effects it has upon us, both physically and mentally, happen so gradually and imperceptibly that we remain unaware of them and instead regard withdrawal as normal. The effect is similar to that of bad eating habits: we look at people who are grossly overweight and wonder how they could have possibly allowed themselves to reach that state. But suppose that it happened overnight — you went to bed trim, rippling with muscles and not an ounce of fat on your body — and awoke to find yourself fat, bloated and pot-bellied. Instead of waking up feeling fully rested and full of energy, you feel miserable, lethargic, and barely able to open your eyes.

You’d be panic-stricken, wondering what awful disease you had contracted overnight, and yet the disease is exactly the same. The fact it took you twenty years to arrive there is irrelevant. 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 is the same: if it were possible to immediately transfer your mind and body to give you a direct comparison to how you’d feel having stopped 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 for just three weeks, that’s all that would be required to convince you. You’d ask yourself, would it really feel this good, or what that really amounts to, “Had I really sunk that low?” You wouldn’t just feel healthier, with more energy, but sporting far more confidence and a heightened ability to concentrate.

Lack of energy, tiredness and everything related to it is nicely swept under the rug of ‘getting older’. Friends and colleagues who also live sedentary lifestyles further compound the normalisation of this behaviour. The belief that energy is the exclusive prerogative of children and teenagers and that old age begins in your twenties is another symptom of the brainwashing, as is being unaware of eating and exercise habits as a result of the compounding effects of dopamine desensitisation.

Shortly after stopping 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, the foggy and muggy feeling will leave you. The point being, with 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 you’re always debiting your energy and in that process, tampering with the chemistry of your limbic system. Unlike quitting smoking, where the return of your physical and mental health is only gradual, quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 gives you excellent results from day one. Killing the ‘little monster’ and closing the water slides takes a little bit of time, but recovering your reward centre is nothing like the slow slide into the pit. If you’re going through the trauma of the willpower method, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression you’ll be going through. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for EasyPeasy to immediately transfer you into your mind in three weeks’ time, but you can! You know instinctively that what you’re being told is correct, all you need to do is use your imagination!

6.6 Social Night Sessions

Reading Time: 2.5 minutes

This is misinformation that seems to make sense, but doesn’t. In order to control your appetite, will you eat at home before leaving to go to a restaurant or party? This is what you’re doing with sessions before social nights, looking tired and not up to your best. The widespread adoption of pick-up techniques has introduced pressure to perform, pick-up and score. Attempting to drown your butterflies with 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and substances will only make the problem worse in the long run. Personally, I like a bit of anxiety to keep me focused and engaged and tiring yourself out mentally and physically with orgasm isn’t going to help.

Social night 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is occasioned by two or more of our usual reasons for pleasure/prop seeking, social functions at their core being both stressful and relaxing. This might appear to be a contradiction but any form of socialisation can be stressful — even with friends — wanting to be yourself and completely relaxed. There’s many occasions that have multiple factors present at any one time, take driving as an example, since after all, your life is at stake. Stressful, with concentration required for sustained periods of time. You need not be aware of these factors, your subconscious already receiving the message. By the same token, when finding yourself stuck in traffic jams or bored on long highway drives, the promise of a session upon reaching home occupies your mind.

Another good example is going on a first date, your mind throwing out questions about the person you’re about to meet. Then if your enthusiasm starts to fade upon meeting the person in the flesh you’ll start to feel too relaxed, then guilty for feeling this way. The tug of war has started, “I want sex or get me out of here ASAP”, priming you for post-date 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇.

Even if the date went well and hours later you’re back at their place, no matter which way it goes you won’t be satisfied if your only goal is seeking orgasm. At other times you drive home alone, your only thought being your online harem instead of congratulating yourself for your efforts. You can bet that someone in this position will have a session upon reaching home, and it’s often after nights like these — waking to feel uneasy emptiness — are the ones we’ll miss the most when we contemplate stopping 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. We think that life will never be quite as enjoyable again. In fact, it’s the same principle at work: the sessions simply provide relief from the withdrawal pangs, at some times having greater needs than others, greasing the water slide for the next cue.

Make this clear — it’s not internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and harem dwellers that are special, it’s the occasion. Once the need for 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is removed, such occasions will become more enjoyable and stressful situations less stressful.

Reading Time: 1.5 minutes

6.1 Stress:

• The link between brainwashing and fear, particularly fear of future withdrawal symptoms.
• Stressors, both major and minor, drive individuals into the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 trap.
• Examples include phone calls, socializing, and family life contributing to unconscious withdrawal pangs.
• 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 is portrayed as a reliever, but it actually destroys nerves rather than relaxing them.

6.2 Boredom:

• 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 relieving boredom is a fallacy; boredom is a frame of mind.
• Addiction to 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 makes the absence of the drug feel like something is missing.
• 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 indirectly increases boredom by promoting lethargy after orgasms.

6.3 Concentration:

• Masturbation and sex do not aid concentration; users automatically seek distractions.
• Dopamine desensitization affects abilities like accessing information, planning, and impulse control.
• Users are driven to provide novelty for each session, affecting concentration negatively.

6.4 Relaxation:

• 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 does not help users relax; the frantic search for a fix is not a relaxing activity.
• Addiction prevents complete relaxation, and users view 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 as the icing on the cake rather than the actual problem.

6.5 Energy:

• 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇’s effects on physical and mental energy levels happen gradually, making users unaware of the decline.
• Lack of energy is normalized as a part of aging, but it is a consequence of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addiction.
• Quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 results in immediate improvements in energy, confidence, and concentration.

6.6 Social Night Sessions:

• 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 use before social events is akin to eating before going to a restaurant to control appetite.

Conclusion:

• The chapter emphasizes the importance of deconstructing societal fallacies about 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇.
• Users are urged to recognize the brainwashing aspects related to stress, boredom, concentration, relaxation, and energy.
• The goal is to break free from the trap and regain natural confidence, self-assurance, and a fulfilling life.

Chapter 7

What am I giving up?

Reading Time: 1.5 minutes

Absolutely nothing! 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 is difficult to give up because of the fear we’re being deprived of our pleasure or prop. The fear that certain pleasant situations will never be quite the same again. Fear you’ll be left unable to cope with stressful situations. In other words, it’s the effects of brainwashing deluding us into believing that sex — and by extension orgasm — is a must for all human beings. Even further, it’s the belief there’s something inherent in internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 that we need, and that when we stop using we will be denying ourselves and creating a void.

Make this clear in your mind: 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 doesn’t fill a void, it creates one!

Our bodies are the most sophisticated objects on the planet. Whether you believe in intelligent design, natural selection, or a combination of both, our bodies are thousands of times more effective than man! We’re unable to create the smallest living cell or the miracles of eyesight, reproduction and various interlinked systems present in our bodies or brains. If this creator or process had intended us to handle supernormal stimulus, we’d have been provided with different reward systems. Our bodies are provided with fail-safe warning devices and we ignore these at our peril.

[Binocular]

7.1 There’s nothing to give up

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Once you purge the little monster from your body and the brainwashing (the big monster) from your mind, you’ll neither want to masturbate often nor use internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 for it. There are many knowns and unknowns when it comes to 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addiction, with many in the medical community having no concept of questioning or determining someone as a 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addict. A lot of reported symptoms are wrongly tagged under other causes. It’s not that users are generally stupid people, it’s just that they’re miserable without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, abstaining and being miserable because they cannot use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, or miserable because they’re guilty and begin despising themselves because of it. When they get symptoms such as low back pain or sexual dysfunction, their minds are torn between accepting responsibility and looking the other way.

Another smoker analogy: all of us have seen smokers who develop excuses to sneak off for a crafty puff and we see the true addiction in action. Addicts don’t do this for enjoyment, instead they do it because they’re miserable without it.

For many their first sexual experience ended in an orgasm, so they acquired the belief they can’t enjoy sex without one. For men, 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is marketed as an aid towards sex, sometimes even as an education in confidence during the act. This is nonsense, the conditioning of supernormal stimulus only succeeds in bringing it down.

Not only is there nothing to give up but massive positive gains to be had. When users contemplate quitting, they tend to concentrate on health and virility. These are valid and important reasons, but I personally believe the greatest gains are psychological:

• The return of your confidence and courage.
• Freedom from slavery.
• No longer having awful black shadows at the back of your mind and despising yourself.

7.2 Void, the void, the beautiful void!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Imagine having a cold sore on your face, so you go to the pharmacist and he gives you a free ointment to try. You put the ointment on and it disappears immediately. A week later it reappears, so you go back to the pharmacist and ask if they have any more ointment. The pharmacist says “Sure; keep the tube, you might need it later.”

You apply the ointment and hey presto, the sore disappears once again. But every time the sore returns, it gets larger and more painful, with the interval getting shorter and shorter. Eventually, the sore covers your whole face and is excruciatingly painful, and it’s returning every half hour. You know the ointment will remove it temporarily, but you’re very worried. Will the sore eventually spread over your whole body? Will the interval disappear completely? You go to your doctor and they can’t cure it, so you try other things but nothing helps apart from the ointment.

By now you’re completely dependent on the ointment, never going out without ensuring that you have a tube with you. If you go abroad, you make sure you take several tubes with you. In addition to your worries about your health, the pharmacist is charging you a hundred dollars a tube. You have no choice but to pay up.

You stumble across an article discussing this and find out it isn’t just happening to you, many people are suffering from the same problem. In fact, the medical community has discovered that the ointment doesn’t actually cure the sore, and instead only takes it beneath the surface of the skin. It’s the ointment that caused the sore to grow, so all you have to do to get rid of the sore is to stop using the ointment and it’ll disappear in due course.

Would you continue to use the ointment? Would it take willpower to not use the ointment? If you didn’t believe the article there might be a few days of apprehension, but once you realised the sore was beginning to get better, the need or desire to use the ointment would go. Would you be miserable? Of course you wouldn’t! You had an awful problem which you thought was incurable but now you’ve found the solution. Even if it took a year for the sore to go away, each day as it improved you’d think about how marvellous you felt. This is the magic of quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇.

The sore isn’t the body pains, lack of normal lust, flagging arousal, fading penetration, the wasted time spent on two-dimensional images, feelings of infringement on entitlement, and despising the people who caught you or even worse, despising yourself. These are all in addition to the sore.

The sore makes us close our minds to all these things — it’s that panic feeling of wanting a fix. Non-users don’t suffer from that feeling. The worst thing we ever suffer is fear, the greatest gain being rid of that fear. It’s caused by your first session, further strengthened and caused by each subsequent one.

Some users are ‘happy’, blinded by their cunning little monsters and so go through this same nightmare, putting up phony arguments to try and justify their stupidity.

It’s so nice to be free!

Summarization 7:

What am I giving up?

Reading Time: 2 minutes
In this section, the chapter discusses the difficulty of giving up 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and the fears associated with it. The fear includes the belief that one might be deprived of pleasure, face challenges in coping with stress, or create a void in their life. The chapter emphasizes that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 doesn’t fill a void; rather, it creates one.

There’s nothing to give up

This part argues that once the influence of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is removed from both the body and the mind, the desire for it diminishes. It acknowledges the challenges in identifying 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addiction in the medical community and suggests that many symptoms are incorrectly attributed to other causes. The chapter compares the addiction to that of smoking and highlights the psychological gains of quitting, such as the return of confidence and freedom from enslavement.

Void, the void, the beautiful void!

This section uses a metaphor of a persistent cold sore and an ointment dependency to illustrate the concept of quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. It encourages the reader to consider the psychological dependence on 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 as similar to relying on the ointment for the sore. The chapter suggests that quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is not about giving up something valuable but rather freeing oneself from a harmful dependency, leading to a sense of liberation.

The magic of quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇

Drawing parallels to the scenario with the ointment, this part emphasizes that quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is not a loss but a solution to a problem. It discusses the various negative aspects associated with 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 use, including physical symptoms and emotional distress. The chapter argues that the fear and panic associated with wanting a fix are eliminated by quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, and non-users don’t experience such suffering. The conclusion expresses the joy and freedom that come with being free from 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇.

Chapter 8

Saving Time

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Usually when users try stopping, the main reasons given are health, religion and partner stigma. Part of the brainwashing of this awful drug is the sheer slavery of it; man has fought hard to abolish slavery in many parts of the world — yet the user spends life suffering self-imposed slavery. They’re oblivious to the fact that when they’re allowed to use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 they wish they were a non-user. The only time that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 becomes precious is when we’re ‘trying’ to cut down or abstain, or when abstinence is forced on us.

It cannot be repeated often enough that brainwashing makes it difficult to stop 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, so the more we dispel before we start, the easier you’ll find it to achieve your goal. Confirmed users, who don’t believe that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 has any negative effect on their health (𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇-induced erectile dysfunction, hypofrontality, etc.) and aren’t having a mental tug of war are typically younger or single with an occasional sex partner. Thus, the internal feedback is lost due to the nature of their youth or is too infrequent to be observed and registered.

A better argument for a younger user is the time spent, rather saying “I can’t believe you aren’t worried about the time you are spending.” Generally their eyes light up, feeling disadvantaged if attacked on health grounds or social stigma, but on time…
“Oh, I can afford it. It’s only x hours per week and I think it’s worth it, it’s my only vice of pleasure.”

“I still can’t believe you’re not worried. Let’s assume a half hour daily average which includes the physical drain of dopamine withdrawals, you’re spending approximately a full working day every fortnight. I’m sure you’d agree that half an hour a day is a very conservative estimate. Have you thought about how much time you’ll spend in your lifetime? What are you doing in that time? Developing real relationships? No, your favorite 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 star doesn’t have sympathy for you, just because you spent so much time on their videos — you’re throwing time away! Not only that, you’re actually using that time to ruin your physical health, destroying your nerves and confidence in order to suffer a lifetime of slavery, pain, melancholy and peevishness. Surely that must worry you, right?”

It’s apparent at this point — especially with younger users — that they’ve never considered it a lifetime addiction. Occasionally, they work out the time they waste in a week and that’s alarming enough. Very occasionally, and only when they think of stopping, they’ll estimate what they spend in a year which is frightening — but over a lifetime is unthinkable. However, because we’re in an argument the confirmed user will impulsively say, “I can afford it, it’s only so much a week”, pulling an encyclopedia salesman routine on themselves.

Would you refuse a job offer which pays your current annual salary and also gives you a month off every year? Any user would sign in a heartbeat and would get busy finding holiday deals to exotic locations. Figuring out how to spend a full month with no work would be the biggest problem to solve. In every discussion with a confirmed user (and please bear in mind that’s not someone like yourself who plans to stop) nobody has ever taken me up on that offer. Why not?

Often at this point, a confirmed user will say, “Look, I’m not really worried about the money aspect.” If you’re thinking along those lines ask yourself why you aren’t worried. Why in other aspects of your life will you go to great deals of trouble to save a few dollars here and there, but spend thousands killing your happiness and hanging the expense?

Every other decision you make in your life will be the result of an analytical process of weighing up advantages and disadvantages to arrive at a rational decision. It may be the wrong decision, but it’ll be the result of rational deduction. Whenever any user weighs up the pros and cons of using internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, the answer is a dozen times over, “STOP USING! YOU’RE A MUG!” Therefore, all users are using not because they want or decide to, but because they can’t stop. They have to use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, and so brainwash themselves, keeping their heads in the sand.

Confirmed users should keep in mind that the situation will only get exponentially worse, with more studies coming out and more people talking about the ill effects of internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. Today, it’s non-medical people discussing the effects, tomorrow it’ll be on your doctor’s list of diagnostic tests. Gone are the days where the user can hide ‘downtime’ behind work stress in their sex life; your partner is going to ask why you’re on your laptop late at night. The poor user — already feeling wretched — now wants the ground to open up and swallow them.

The strange thing is that though many people would pay good money for gym memberships and personal trainers to build muscles and look sculpted (and many of them in their imaginary (and real) desperation turn to treatments such as boosting testosterone, with dubious and dangerous side effects), there are many people in this group who would benefit from stopping a practice systematically destroying their brain’s natural relaxation systems.

This is because they’re still thinking with the brainwashed mind of the user. Wipe the sand out of your eyes for a moment. Internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a chain reaction and a chain for life, and if you don’t break that chain you’ll remain a user for the rest of your life. Estimate how much time you think you’ll spend on 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 for the remainder of your existence. Obviously the amount will vary from person to person, but let’s assume it’s a year and a half of work hours. Imagine if there were a cheque from the lottery for a year and a half of your salary lying on your carpet tomorrow? You’d be dancing with delight, so start dancing! You’re about to start receiving those benefits!

If you think this is a tricky way of seeing it, you’re still kidding yourself. Work out how much time you would have saved if you’d never taken your first peek right at the very start.

Shortly, you’ll be making the decision to use your final session (not yet, please remember the instructions!), remaining a non-user by not falling for the trap again. All you have to do to remain a non-user is not using 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and avoiding ‘just one peek’. Remember if you do, it’ll cost you whatever you estimated your salary gain will be.

If you’re mentoring someone for their 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addiction, tell them they know someone who’s refused a job offer that pays their current annual salary and also gives them a full month’s worth of paid time off. When asked who that idiot is tell them, “You!” It’s rude, but sometimes you need to get the point across in a less than polite way.
