Chapter 6
Brainwashing Aspects
Reading Time: 1 minute
The ๐๐๐๐ trapโs big monster is bred through the culmination of many aspects, including societal forces, media portrayals, peers and the userโs 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 ๐๐๐๐ is crucial for success and allows you to see where youโre being robbed!
Of importance to note is the link between brainwashing and fear. Itโs fear of feeling future withdrawal pangs that create the pangs. Fear is the pang itself. Think about when youโve had withdrawal symptoms such as sweaty palms, shortness of breath, sleeping problems and an inability to think straight. Now think of similar situations when youโve 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?
6.1 Stress
Reading Time: 2.5 minutes
Not only great tragedies in life, but also minor stresses drive users into the forbidden โunsafeโ area previously excluded. Stresses include socialising, phone calls, anxieties of the housewife with young children, and many others. Letโs take phone calls as an example, particularly for a businessperson. Most calls arenโt from satisfied customers or your boss congratulating you, thereโs some sort of aggravation. Coming home to mundane family life of kids screaming and their partnerโs emotional demands causes the user โ if they arenโt already doing so โ to fantasise the relief of ๐๐๐๐ 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 isnโt an illusion, the user does genuinely feel better than before, but theyโre more tense than they would be as a non-user.
The following example isnโt designed to shock you โ EasyPeasy promises no such treatment โ but is to emphasise that ๐๐๐๐ destroys your nerves rather than relaxing them.
Try to imagine getting to the stage where youโre 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 ๐๐๐๐ stars occupying your โharemโ 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. Itโs easy to dismiss these people as weirdos, but stories like these arenโt fakes โ this is what the awful novelty of the ๐๐๐๐ drug does to your brain. The more you go through life, the more courage is sapped and the more youโre deluded into believing ๐๐๐๐ 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 donโt suffer from it, as internet ๐๐๐๐ 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 ๐๐๐๐ is their new partner and is unable to face life without it.
Internet ๐๐๐๐ isnโt relieving your nerves, itโs slowly destroying them. One of the great gains of breaking the addiction is the return of your natural confidence and self-assurance.
Thereโs no need to rate yourself on your ability to satisfy a partner โ this isnโt 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 youโre like many people, as soon as you climb into bed youโre already on your favorite ๐๐๐๐ site, probably already forgetting until reminded. Itโs become second nature. Similarly, ๐๐๐๐ relieving boredom is another fallacy because boredom is a frame of mind, occurring when youโve been deprived for a long time or are trying to cut down.
The actual situation is this, when youโre addicted to the supernormal pull of internet ๐๐๐๐ and then try to abstain, it feels like thereโs something missing. If you have something to occupy your mind that isnโt stressful, you can go for long periods of time without being bothered by the absence of the drug. However, when youโre bored thereโs nothing to take your mind off it, so you feed the monster. When youโre 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, theyโre 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 ๐๐๐๐ 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 ๐๐๐๐ when bored, our brains wired to interpret ๐๐๐๐ as interesting. Similarly, weโve also been brainwashed into believing sex โ even bad sex โ aids relaxation. Itโs 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, theyโd have felt relieved.
6.3 Concentration
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Masturbation and sex donโt help concentration โ when youโre trying to concentrate you automatically try and avoid distractions. Therefore, when a user wants to concentrate, they donโt even think โ automatically opening the browser, feeding the little monster and partially ending the craving. They get on with the matter at hand, already forgetting theyโve viewed ๐๐๐๐. After years of dopamine-flooding the neurological changes affect abilities such as accessing information, planning and impulse control.
Youโre also driven to provide novelty for the next session as the same stuff no longer generates enough dopamine and opioids. So youโll 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, itโs 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 isnโt due to the absence of sex, let alone ๐๐๐๐. You have mental blocks when youโre addicted to something and when you have a mental block, what do you do? You fire up the browser โ which doesnโt cure the block โ so then what do you do? You do what you have to do, getting on with it just as non-users do.
When youโre 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 โIf only I could check my harem now, it would solve all my problemsโ. You then begin to question your decision to quit and escape from the slavery.
If you believe that ๐๐๐๐ is a genuine aid to concentration, worrying about it will guarantee that youโll be unable to concentrate. Doubt, not the physical withdrawal pangs, creates the problem. Always remember, itโs the user who suffers pangs, not non-users.
6.4 Relaxation
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Most users think that ๐๐๐๐ helps them to relax. It doesnโt. The frantic search to get the fix in those โdark alleys of the internetโ and the internal struggle of straining at the leash to cross the red line certainly doesnโt 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 ๐๐๐๐ as the icing on the cake, but in actuality itโs the โlittle monsterโ 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:
โI really believed that I had an evil demon in my make up, I now know that I had, however it wasnโt some inherent flaw in my character but the little internet ๐๐๐๐ 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 ๐๐๐๐ slavery. The sad thing is that even today I canโt convince my children that it was the slavery that caused me to be so irritable.โ
Every time I hear ๐๐๐๐ addicts trying to justify their addiction the message is, โOh it helps me to relax.โ 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.
Hereโs another smoking analogy, a couple of years ago adoption authorities threatened to prevent smokers from adopting children. A man rang up, irate. โYouโre completely wrongโ, he said, โI 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.โ Why couldnโt the man talk to his mother when she wasnโt smoking a cigarette?
Why are some users so stressed when theyโre 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 ๐๐๐๐ was far easier, involved no restaurant spending and had no possibility of a โnoโ 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 youโll notice the struggle with temptations: clearly not relaxed at all when no longer allowed to have the โonly pleasureโ they are โentitled to enjoyโ. Theyโve forgotten what itโs like to be completely relaxed. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ 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.
Isnโt it time you climbed out of the plant?
6.5 Energy
Reading Time: 2.75 minutes
Most users are aware of the progressive effects ๐๐๐๐โs novelty- and escalation-seeking has on their brainโs reward and sexual systems. However, they arenโt aware of the effect it has on their energy level.
One of the ๐๐๐๐ trapโs 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 โ you went to bed trim, rippling with muscles and not an ounce of fat on your body โ 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.
Youโd 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. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ is the same: if it were possible to immediately transfer your mind and body to give you a direct comparison to how youโd feel having stopped ๐๐๐๐ for just three weeks, thatโs all that would be required to convince you. Youโd ask yourself, would it really feel this good, or what that really amounts to, โHad I really sunk that low?โ You wouldnโt 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 โgetting olderโ. 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 ๐๐๐๐, the foggy and muggy feeling will leave you. The point being, with ๐๐๐๐ youโre 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 ๐๐๐๐ gives you excellent results from day one. Killing the โlittle monsterโ 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 youโre going through the trauma of the willpower method, any health or energy gains will be obliterated by the depression youโll be going through. Unfortunately, itโs not possible for EasyPeasy to immediately transfer you into your mind in three weeksโ time, but you can! You know instinctively that what youโre 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 doesnโt. In order to control your appetite, will you eat at home before leaving to go to a restaurant or party? This is what youโre 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 ๐๐๐๐ 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 isnโt going to help.
Social night ๐๐๐๐ 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 โ even with friends โ wanting to be yourself and completely relaxed. Thereโs 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 youโre about to meet. Then if your enthusiasm starts to fade upon meeting the person in the flesh youโll start to feel too relaxed, then guilty for feeling this way. The tug of war has started, โI want sex or get me out of here ASAPโ, priming you for post-date ๐๐๐๐.
Even if the date went well and hours later youโre back at their place, no matter which way it goes you wonโt 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 itโs often after nights like these โ waking to feel uneasy emptiness โ are the ones weโll miss the most when we contemplate stopping ๐๐๐๐. We think that life will never be quite as enjoyable again. In fact, itโs 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 โ itโs not internet ๐๐๐๐ and harem dwellers that are special, itโs the occasion. Once the need for ๐๐๐๐ is removed, such occasions will become more enjoyable and stressful situations less stressful.

6.1 Stress:
- The link between brainwashing and fear, particularly fear of future withdrawal symptoms.
- Stressors, both major and minor, drive individuals into the ๐๐๐๐ trap.
- Examples include phone calls, socializing, and family life contributing to unconscious withdrawal pangs.
- ๐ฏ๐๐๐ is portrayed as a reliever, but it actually destroys nerves rather than relaxing them.
6.2 Boredom:
- ๐ฏ๐๐๐ relieving boredom is a fallacy; boredom is a frame of mind.
- Addiction to ๐๐๐๐ makes the absence of the drug feel like something is missing.
- ๐ฏ๐๐๐ 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:
- ๐ฏ๐๐๐ does not help users relax; the frantic search for a fix is not a relaxing activity.
- Addiction prevents complete relaxation, and users view ๐๐๐๐ as the icing on the cake rather than the actual problem.
6.5 Energy:
- ๐ฏ๐๐๐โs 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 ๐๐๐๐ addiction.

Chapter 7
What am I giving up?
Reading Time: 1.5 minutes
Absolutely nothing! ๐ฏ๐๐๐ is difficult to give up because of the fear weโre being deprived of our pleasure or prop. The fear that certain pleasant situations will never be quite the same again. Fear youโll be left unable to cope with stressful situations. In other words, itโs the effects of brainwashing deluding us into believing that sex โ and by extension orgasm โ is a must for all human beings. Even further, itโs the belief thereโs something inherent in internet ๐๐๐๐ that we need, and that when we stop using we will be denying ourselves and creating a void.
Make this clear in your mind: ๐ฏ๐๐๐ doesnโt 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! Weโre 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, weโd have been provided with different reward systems. Our bodies are provided with fail-safe warning devices and we ignore these at our peril.
7.1 Thereโs 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, youโll neither want to masturbate often nor use internet ๐๐๐๐ for it. There are many knowns and unknowns when it comes to ๐๐๐๐ addiction, with many in the medical community having no concept of questioning or determining someone as a ๐๐๐๐ addict. A lot of reported symptoms are wrongly tagged under other causes. Itโs not that users are generally stupid people, itโs just that theyโre miserable without ๐๐๐๐. Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, abstaining and being miserable because they cannot use ๐๐๐๐, or miserable because theyโre 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 donโt do this for enjoyment, instead they do it because theyโre miserable without it.
For many their first sexual experience ended in an orgasm, so they acquired the belief they canโt enjoy sex without one. For men, ๐๐๐๐ 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 โSure; keep the tube, you might need it later.โ
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 itโs returning every half hour. You know the ointment will remove it temporarily, but youโre very worried. Will the sore eventually spread over your whole body? Will the interval disappear completely? You go to your doctor and they canโt cure it, so you try other things but nothing helps apart from the ointment.
By now youโre 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 isnโt just happening to you, many people are suffering from the same problem. In fact, the medical community has discovered that the ointment doesnโt actually cure the sore, and instead only takes it beneath the surface of the skin. Itโs 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 itโll disappear in due course.
Would you continue to use the ointment? Would it take willpower to not use the ointment? If you didnโt 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 wouldnโt! You had an awful problem which you thought was incurable but now youโve found the solution. Even if it took a year for the sore to go away, each day as it improved youโd think about how marvellous you felt. This is the magic of quitting ๐๐๐๐.
The sore isnโt 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 โ itโs that panic feeling of wanting a fix. Non-users donโt suffer from that feeling. The worst thing we ever suffer is fear, the greatest gain being rid of that fear. Itโs caused by your first session, further strengthened and caused by each subsequent one.
Some users are โhappyโ, blinded by their cunning little monsters and so go through this same nightmare, putting up phony arguments to try and justify their stupidity.
Itโs 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 ๐๐๐๐ 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 ๐๐๐๐ doesnโt fill a void; rather, it creates one.
Thereโs nothing to give up
This part argues that once the influence of ๐๐๐๐ is removed from both the body and the mind, the desire for it diminishes. It acknowledges the challenges in identifying ๐๐๐๐ 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 ๐๐๐๐. It encourages the reader to consider the psychological dependence on ๐๐๐๐ as similar to relying on the ointment for the sore. The chapter suggests that quitting ๐๐๐๐ 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 ๐๐๐๐
Drawing parallels to the scenario with the ointment, this part emphasizes that quitting ๐๐๐๐ is not a loss but a solution to a problem. It discusses the various negative aspects associated with ๐๐๐๐ use, including physical symptoms and emotional distress. The chapter argues that the fear and panic associated with wanting a fix are eliminated by quitting ๐๐๐๐, and non-users donโt experience such suffering. The conclusion expresses the joy and freedom that come with being free from ๐๐๐๐.
Youโre helping a lot. Thank you for these posts
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 โ yet the user spends life suffering self-imposed slavery. Theyโre oblivious to the fact that when theyโre allowed to use ๐๐๐๐ they wish they were a non-user. The only time that ๐๐๐๐ becomes precious is when weโre โtryingโ 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 ๐๐๐๐, so the more we dispel before we start, the easier youโll find it to achieve your goal. Confirmed users, who donโt believe that ๐๐๐๐ has any negative effect on their health (๐๐๐๐-induced erectile dysfunction, hypofrontality, etc.) and arenโt 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 โI canโt believe you arenโt worried about the time you are spending.โ Generally their eyes light up, feeling disadvantaged if attacked on health grounds or social stigma, but on timeโฆ
โOh, I can afford it. Itโs only x hours per week and I think itโs worth it, itโs my only vice of pleasure.โ
โI still canโt believe youโre not worried. Letโs assume a half hour daily average which includes the physical drain of dopamine withdrawals, youโre spending approximately a full working day every fortnight. Iโm sure youโd agree that half an hour a day is a very conservative estimate. Have you thought about how much time youโll spend in your lifetime? What are you doing in that time? Developing real relationships? No, your favorite ๐๐๐๐ star doesnโt have sympathy for you, just because you spent so much time on their videos โ youโre throwing time away! Not only that, youโre 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?โ
Itโs apparent at this point โ especially with younger users โ that theyโve never considered it a lifetime addiction. Occasionally, they work out the time they waste in a week and thatโs alarming enough. Very occasionally, and only when they think of stopping, theyโll estimate what they spend in a year which is frightening โ but over a lifetime is unthinkable. However, because weโre in an argument the confirmed user will impulsively say, โI can afford it, itโs only so much a weekโ, 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 thatโs 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, โLook, Iโm not really worried about the money aspect.โ If youโre thinking along those lines ask yourself why you arenโt 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 itโll be the result of rational deduction. Whenever any user weighs up the pros and cons of using internet ๐๐๐๐, the answer is a dozen times over, โSTOP USING! YOUโRE A MUG!โ Therefore, all users are using not because they want or decide to, but because they canโt stop. They have to use ๐๐๐๐, 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 ๐๐๐๐. Today, itโs non-medical people discussing the effects, tomorrow itโll be on your doctorโs list of diagnostic tests. Gone are the days where the user can hide โdowntimeโ behind work stress in their sex life; your partner is going to ask why youโre on your laptop late at night. The poor user โ already feeling wretched โ 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 brainโs natural relaxation systems.
This is because theyโre still thinking with the brainwashed mind of the user. Wipe the sand out of your eyes for a moment. Internet ๐๐๐๐ is a chain reaction and a chain for life, and if you donโt break that chain youโll remain a user for the rest of your life. Estimate how much time you think youโll spend on ๐๐๐๐ for the remainder of your existence. Obviously the amount will vary from person to person, but letโs assume itโs 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? Youโd be dancing with delight, so start dancing! Youโre about to start receiving those benefits!
If you think this is a tricky way of seeing it, youโre still kidding yourself. Work out how much time you would have saved if youโd never taken your first peek right at the very start.
Shortly, youโll 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 ๐๐๐๐ and avoiding โjust one peekโ. Remember if you do, itโll cost you whatever you estimated your salary gain will be.
If youโre mentoring someone for their ๐๐๐๐ addiction, tell them they know someone whoโs refused a job offer that pays their current annual salary and also gives them a full monthโs worth of paid time off. When asked who that idiot is tell them, โYou!โ Itโs rude, but sometimes you need to get the point across in a less than polite way.

Chapter 9
Health
Reading Time: 11.5 minutes
This is the area where the brainwashing is the greatest with users โ particularly the young and single โ who think theyโre aware of the health risks but arenโt. Many kid themselves by saying theyโre prepared to accept the consequences. If your internet router had a function that played an alarm tone with a warning when you hit a ๐๐๐๐ site saying โ โUp until now youโve gotten away with it, but if you stay another minute your head will explode.โ Would you have stayed? If youโre in doubt about the answer try walking up to a cliff, standing on the edge with your eyes closed and imagining having the choice of either quitting ๐๐๐๐ or walking up blindfolded.
Thereโs no doubt what your choice would be, but by burying your head in the sand and hoping that youโll wake up one morning and not want to watch ๐๐๐๐ anymore, you accomplish nothing. Users cannot allow themselves to think of the health risks, because if they do, the addictionโs illusory enjoyment goes. This explains why shock treatments are so ineffective in the first stages of quitting: itโs only non-users who bring themselves to read about the destructive brain changes.
Take this common conversation with users, generally younger ones.
Me: โWhy do you want to stop?โ
User: โI read in a pick-up artistโs blog that itโs good to stop for four days to amp myself up.โ
Me: โArenโt you worried about the health risks?โ
User: โNo, I could step under a bus tomorrow.โ
Me: โBut would you deliberately step under a bus?โ
User: โOf course not.โ
Me: โDo you not bother to look left and right when you cross the road?โ
User: โOf course I do.โ
Exactly, they go through a lot of trouble not to step under a bus and the odds are thousands to one against it happening. Yet the user risks the near-certainty of being crippled by their addiction and appears to be completely oblivious. Such is the power of the brainwashing; internet ๐๐๐๐ is a wolf in sheepโs clothing. Isnโt it strange that if we felt there were the slightest fault in an airplane we wouldnโt go up in it โ even though the risks are millions to one โ yet we take more than a one-in-four certainty with ๐๐๐๐ and are apparently oblivious to it? What does the user get out of this? Absolutely nothing!
Another common myth is depression or peevishness. Many younger people arenโt worried about their health because they donโt suffer any of the depression or melancholy. The depression or stress isnโt the disease, itโs a symptom. Younger people in general donโt feel the irritability or depression created due to their bodyโs natural ability to produce more dopamine. As they age or their lives encounter serious setbacks, their already depleted resources are overworked and theyโll experience full-blown symptoms. When older users feel stressed, depressed or irritated, itโs because natureโs fail-safe mechanisms are protecting the nervous system from excessive dopamine-flooding through trimming receptors. The user also develops other neurological changes that keep them in the rut.
Think of it this way, if you had a nice car and allowed it to rust without doing anything about it, that would be pretty stupid. It would quickly become an immovable heap of rust, incapable of transporting you anywhere. However, it wouldnโt be the end of the world as itโs only a question of money. But your body is the vehicle that carries you through life. We all say that our health is our greatest asset โ ask any sick millionaire. Most of us can look back on an illness or accident in our lives where we prayed to get better. By being a ๐๐๐๐ user, youโre not only letting the rust get in and doing nothing about it, youโre systematically destroying the one vehicle used to go through your entire life.
Wise up. You donโt have to do this. Remember, itโs doing absolutely nothing for you. Just for a moment, take your head out of the sand and ask yourself that if you knew with certainty that your next session would start a process that would make you utterly unresponsive to someone you deeply love, would you continue using? Speaking to the people this happens to, they certainly didnโt expect it would happen to them either, and the worst thing isnโt the disease itself but the knowledge that theyโve brought it on themselves. Try to imagine how people whoโve โhit the buttonโ feel, for them the brainwashing is ended. They spend the remainder of their lives thinking, โWhy did I kid myself for so long that I needed to masturbate to internet ๐๐๐๐? If only I had the chance to go back!โ
Stop kidding yourself, you have that chance. Itโs a chain reaction, if you engage in the next ๐๐๐๐ session, itโll lead you to the next one and the next. Itโs already happening to you. EasyPeasy promises no shock treatment so if youโve already decided that youโre going to stop, the following wonโt be shocking for you. If you havenโt, skip the remainder of this chapter and come back to it once youโve read the rest of the book.
Volumes upon volumes of research have already been written about the damage internet ๐๐๐๐ causes to our sex lives and mental well-being. The trouble is that until deciding to stop they donโt want to know. Forums and mentor groups are a waste of time because ๐๐๐๐ puts the blinders on. If inadvertently read, the first thing they do is to open their favorite tube site. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ users tend to think of the happiness, stress and sex hazards as a hit-and-miss affair, like stepping on a land mine.
Get it into your head, itโs already happening. Every single time you open your ๐๐๐๐ site youโre triggering dopamine-flooding and opioids getting to work. The neural water slides are greased and the ride takes you smoothly through the next steps, your brain having already given in to the script. The nervous system is now flooded by dopamine and since itโs the umpteenth time, dopamine receptors close up and the little monster uses this slight dip in pleasure compared to the last time to drive you further over the red line to more-shocking ๐๐๐๐ or behaviour in order to release more dopamine. More novelty, more dopamine and the little monster tells you to keep going. So many pictures and videos in a single session triggers a supernormal stimulus, injecting more chemicals into the brain and driving you to continue.
The entire time, your receptors are receiving information to shut down in response to the flooding. Orgasm only increases this effect and leads to withdrawal. Youโre in denial since the little monster craves for its fix with no real pain and discomfort. The threat of having erectile dysfunction terrifies many, which is why they block it from their mind and overshadow it with the fear of stopping. Itโs not that the fear is greater, but quitting today is immediate. Why look on the negative side? Perhaps it wonโt happen, having bound to have quit by then anyway.
We tend to think of ๐๐๐๐ as a tug-of-war: on one side is fear, โItโs unhealthy, filthy and enslaving.โ On the other side, the positives: โItโs my pleasure, my friend, my crutch.โ It never seems to occur to us this side is also fear; itโs not that we enjoy ๐๐๐๐, itโs that we tend to be miserable without it. Heroin addicts deprived of heroin go through misery, but picture the utter joy when theyโre finally allowed to plunge a needle into their vein and end that terrible craving. Try to imagine how anyone could actually believe they get pleasure from sticking a hypodermic syringe into a vein. Non-heroin addicts donโt suffer that panic feeling and heroin doesnโt relieve the feeling, it causes it.
Non-users donโt feel miserable if they arenโt allowed to use ๐๐๐๐ โ itโs only users that suffer that feeling. Internet ๐๐๐๐ doesnโt relieve the feeling, it causes it. The fear of the negative consequences doesnโt help users quit, because they liken the feeling to walking through a minefield. If you get away with it, fine, but if you were unlucky you stepped on a mine and faced the consequences. If you knew the risks and were prepared to take them, what did it have to do with anyone else? Addicts in this state typically develop the following evasive tactics.
โYouโll eventually get old and lose your sexual prowess anywayโฆโ
Of course you do, but sexual prowess isnโt the point โ weโre talking slavery here. Even if thatโs the case, is that a logical reason for deliberately cutting yourself short?
โQuality of life is more important than just living.โ
Precisely! Are you suggesting that the quality of life of an addict is greater than someone who isnโt addicted? Do you really believe the quality of a userโs life is better than a non-userโs? A life spent covering their head in the sand and being miserable doesnโt sound like a pleasant one.
โIโm single and not planning to settle down in the future, so why not?โ
Even if that were true, is that a logical reason for playing with neurological impulse-control mechanisms? Can you possibly conceive of anyone being stupid enough to strip naked whenever theyโre alone, regardless of how sure they arenโt expecting anyone? Thatโs what ๐๐๐๐ users effectively do!
Progressive gunging-up of our reward circuits with excessive stimulation, and making them incapable of handling normal stresses of life doesnโt help in enjoying your life with enthusiasm and vigour. ๐ฏ๐๐๐ and masturbation has replaced the natural sexual appetite, like a chocolate bar replacing real food. Unsurprisingly, many doctors and psychologists are now relating various mental-health problems to physiological causes. The mainstream medical community has laboured that ๐๐๐๐ has never been scientifically proven to be the direct cause of the issues reported by self-confessing individuals, but admitting oneโs sexual inability in public is such a shame-triggering event, so why would anyone do so unless they were really concerned, having found the cause and eliminated it from their own lives?
EasyPeasy will help you rid yourself of ๐๐๐๐ and become a happy ex-user. No ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐-aided masturbation or unnecessary orgasms. The only aid will be the touch, sight and scent of your partner. Like wholegrain bread after a well developed appetite, youโll no longer want the high-fructose corn syrup of internet ๐๐๐๐. Evidence so overwhelming needs no proof; when I bang my thumb with a hammer and it hurts, it need not be proven. The stress of internet ๐๐๐๐ has flow-on effects onto other aspects of the userโs life, predisposing many to turn to drugs such as cigarettes and alcohol to cope, and in some instances even turning the host to consider suicide.
Users also suffer illusions that the ill effects of ๐๐๐๐ are overstated. The reverse is the case, thereโs no doubt that internet ๐๐๐๐ is the major cause of sexual dysfunction and many other problems. How many divorces have been caused by ๐๐๐๐? There are no reliable ways to know, but searches of online communities suggest the number is growing exponentially.
Thereโs an episode of Friends where the guys, who were receiving continuous free ๐๐๐๐ on TV, started to wonder why the pizza delivery girl didnโt ask to check out their โbig bedroomโ. When youโre addicted, you invariably project ๐๐๐๐ fantasies on real women. Imagine what careless or even accidental ๐๐๐๐ exposure on the darker sides of the internet might do to someone already at a tipping point in their life. Fighting against these ๐๐๐๐-induced thoughts will be a major drain on their mental health.
(Hereโs another thought experiment: letโs say someone comes to you and says they donโt necessarily want an orgasm but very much want to make love, even penetratively. They want to do it for as long and as far as you can go without an orgasm โ but if it happens then itโs fine. I assure you of a phenomenal new sexual experience far better than any other, if you ever get that offer. Try it.)
Effects of the brainwashing make us tend to think like the man who, having fallen off a 100-storey building, is quoted saying as he whizzes past the fiftieth floor, โSo far, so good!โ We think that as weโve gotten away with it so far, one more ๐๐๐๐ session wonโt make the difference. See it another way: the โhabitโ is a continuous chain for life with each session creating the need for the next. When you start the habit, you light a fuse. The trouble is, you donโt know how long the fuse is. Every time you give in to a ๐๐๐๐ session youโre one step closer to the bomb exploding. HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF ITโS THE NEXT ONE?
9.1 Sinister Black Shadows
Reading Time: 1 minute
Users find it very difficult to believe that internet ๐๐๐๐ actually causes those insecure feelings when youโre out late at night after a contentious day at home or work. Non-users donโt suffer from that feeling, itโs ๐๐๐๐ that causes it.
Another of the great joys of quitting ๐๐๐๐ is the freedom from the sinister black shadows at the back of our minds. All users know theyโre fools to close their minds from the ill effects of pornography. For most of our lives itโs automatic, but the black shadows are always lurking in our subconscious minds, just below the surface. Several of the marvellous benefits of quitting are conscious, such as the ending of the waste of time and of the sheer stupidity of making love to a two-dimensional image.
The last chapters have dealt with the considerable advantages of being a non-user, but in the interest of fairness itโs necessary to give a balanced account. Therefore, the next chapter lists the advantages of being a user.
