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.

Chapter 9

Health

Reading Time: 11.5 minutes

This is the area where the brainwashing is the greatest with users — particularly the young and single — who think they’re aware of the health risks but aren’t. Many kid themselves by saying they’re prepared to accept the consequences. If your internet router had a function that played an alarm tone with a warning when you hit a 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 site saying — “Up until now you’ve gotten away with it, but if you stay another minute your head will explode.” Would you have stayed? If you’re 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 or walking up blindfolded.

There’s no doubt what your choice would be, but by burying your head in the sand and hoping that you’ll wake up one morning and not want to watch 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 anymore, you accomplish nothing. Users cannot allow themselves to think of the health risks, because if they do, the addiction’s illusory enjoyment goes. This explains why shock treatments are so ineffective in the first stages of quitting: it’s only non-users who bring themselves to read about the destructive brain changes.

Take this common conversation with users, generally younger ones.

Me: “Why do you want to stop?”

User: “I read in a pick-up artist’s blog that it’s good to stop for four days to amp myself up.”

Me: “Aren’t you worried about the health risks?”

User: “No, I could step under a bus tomorrow.”

Me: “But would you deliberately step under a bus?”

User: “Of course not.”

Me: “Do you not bother to look left and right when you cross the road?”

User: “Of course I do.”

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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Isn’t it strange that if we felt there were the slightest fault in an airplane we wouldn’t go up in it — even though the risks are millions to one — yet we take more than a one-in-four certainty with 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 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 aren’t worried about their health because they don’t suffer any of the depression or melancholy. The depression or stress isn’t the disease, it’s a symptom. Younger people in general don’t feel the irritability or depression created due to their body’s natural ability to produce more dopamine. As they age or their lives encounter serious setbacks, their already depleted resources are overworked and they’ll experience full-blown symptoms. When older users feel stressed, depressed or irritated, it’s because nature’s 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 wouldn’t be the end of the world as it’s 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 — 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 user, you’re not only letting the rust get in and doing nothing about it, you’re systematically destroying the one vehicle used to go through your entire life.

Wise up. You don’t have to do this. Remember, it’s 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 didn’t expect it would happen to them either, and the worst thing isn’t the disease itself but the knowledge that they’ve brought it on themselves. Try to imagine how people who’ve ‘hit the button’ feel, for them the brainwashing is ended. They spend the remainder of their lives thinking, “Why did I kid myself for so long that I needed to masturbate to internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇? If only I had the chance to go back!”

Stop kidding yourself, you have that chance. It’s a chain reaction, if you engage in the next 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 session, it’ll lead you to the next one and the next. It’s already happening to you. EasyPeasy promises no shock treatment so if you’ve already decided that you’re going to stop, the following won’t be shocking for you. If you haven’t, skip the remainder of this chapter and come back to it once you’ve read the rest of the book.

Volumes upon volumes of research have already been written about the damage internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 causes to our sex lives and mental well-being. The trouble is that until deciding to stop they don’t want to know. Forums and mentor groups are a waste of time because 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 puts the blinders on. If inadvertently read, the first thing they do is to open their favorite tube site. 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 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, it’s already happening. Every single time you open your 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 site you’re 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 it’s 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 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. You’re 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. It’s not that the fear is greater, but quitting today is immediate. Why look on the negative side? Perhaps it won’t happen, having bound to have quit by then anyway.

We tend to think of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 as a tug-of-war: on one side is fear, “It’s unhealthy, filthy and enslaving.” On the other side, the positives: “It’s my pleasure, my friend, my crutch.” It never seems to occur to us this side is also fear; it’s not that we enjoy 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, it’s that we tend to be miserable without it. Heroin addicts deprived of heroin go through misery, but picture the utter joy when they’re 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 don’t suffer that panic feeling and heroin doesn’t relieve the feeling, it causes it.

Non-users don’t feel miserable if they aren’t allowed to use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 — it’s only users that suffer that feeling. Internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 doesn’t relieve the feeling, it causes it. The fear of the negative consequences doesn’t 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.

“You’ll eventually get old and lose your sexual prowess anyway…”

Of course you do, but sexual prowess isn’t the point — we’re talking slavery here. Even if that’s the case, is that a logical reason for deliberately cutting yourself short?

“Quality of life is more important than just living.”

Precisely! Are you suggesting that the quality of life of an addict is greater than someone who isn’t addicted? Do you really believe the quality of a user’s life is better than a non-user’s? A life spent covering their head in the sand and being miserable doesn’t sound like a pleasant one.

“I’m single and not planning to settle down in the future, so why not?”

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 they’re alone, regardless of how sure they aren’t expecting anyone? That’s what 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 users effectively do!

Progressive gunging-up of our reward circuits with excessive stimulation, and making them incapable of handling normal stresses of life doesn’t help in enjoying your life with enthusiasm and vigour. 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 has never been scientifically proven to be the direct cause of the issues reported by self-confessing individuals, but admitting one’s 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and become a happy ex-user. No 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇-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, you’ll no longer want the high-fructose corn syrup of internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 has flow-on effects onto other aspects of the user’s 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 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 are overstated. The reverse is the case, there’s no doubt that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is the major cause of sexual dysfunction and many other problems. How many divorces have been caused by 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇? There are no reliable ways to know, but searches of online communities suggest the number is growing exponentially.

There’s an episode of Friends where the guys, who were receiving continuous free 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 on TV, started to wonder why the pizza delivery girl didn’t ask to check out their ‘big bedroom’. When you’re addicted, you invariably project 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 fantasies on real women. Imagine what careless or even accidental 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 exposure on the darker sides of the internet might do to someone already at a tipping point in their life. Fighting against these 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇-induced thoughts will be a major drain on their mental health.

(Here’s another thought experiment: let’s say someone comes to you and says they don’t 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 — but if it happens then it’s 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, “So far, so good!” We think that as we’ve gotten away with it so far, one more 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 session won’t make the difference. See it another way: the ‘habit’ 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 don’t know how long the fuse is. Every time you give in to a 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 session you’re one step closer to the bomb exploding. HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF IT’S THE NEXT ONE?

9.1 Sinister Black Shadows

Reading Time: 1 minute

Users find it very difficult to believe that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 actually causes those insecure feelings when you’re out late at night after a contentious day at home or work. Non-users don’t suffer from that feeling, it’s 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 that causes it.

Another of the great joys of quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is the freedom from the sinister black shadows at the back of our minds. All users know they’re fools to close their minds from the ill effects of pornography. For most of our lives it’s 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 it’s necessary to give a balanced account. Therefore, the next chapter lists the advantages of being a user.

Summarization 9:

Reading Time: 3 minutes

1. Brainwashing Effect:

   • Users, especially the young and single, often underestimate the health risks of internet pornography due to a powerful brainwashing effect.
   • Many users believe they are prepared to accept consequences and may ignore warnings about the potential harm.

2. Comparison to Risk Perception:

   • The chapter compares users’ approach to internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 risks to their cautious behavior in other aspects of life, highlighting the disconnect in risk perception.

3. Depression as a Symptom:

   • Depression or peevishness is not the disease itself but a symptom, particularly in older users.
   • Younger users may not feel immediate negative effects due to their bodies’ natural ability to produce more dopamine.

4. Analogies to Neglecting Health:

   • Users are encouraged to view neglecting their health, in the face of addiction, as akin to allowing a vehicle to rust without maintenance.
   • The text emphasizes the importance of recognizing one’s health as a crucial asset.

5. Evasive Tactics:

   • Common evasive tactics used by addicts, such as justifications based on aging or prioritizing quality of life, are challenged.
   • The author argues that addiction leads to a life of misery, and users are encouraged to question the logic behind their decisions.

6. Physiological Aspects of Addiction:

   • Each 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 session triggers dopamine release, reinforcing the addiction and negatively impacting reward circuits.
   • Stress coping mechanisms are compromised, and the text suggests that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a major cause of sexual dysfunction and mental health problems.

7. Continuous Chain Reaction:

   • Users are urged to recognize the continuous chain reaction created by each 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 session, likened to lighting a fuse with an uncertain length.
   • The chapter challenges users to consider potential consequences, as the cumulative effects may lead to a critical point.

8. Appeal for Recognition and Change:

   • The chapter concludes by emphasizing the need for users to recognize the destructive nature of their behavior and consider the long-term consequences.
   • Users are urged to reflect on the impact of each session and the uncertainty of when cumulative effects may become critical.

9.1 Sinester Black Shadows

Key Points from Section 9.1 - “Sinister Black Shadows”

1. Psychological Impact on Users:

   • Users often struggle to believe that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is the cause of insecure feelings, especially when out late at night after a stressful day.
   • Non-users don’t experience these feelings, suggesting that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 itself is responsible for such emotional states.

2. Freedom from Subconscious Fears:

   • Quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 brings the joy of freedom from the “sinister black shadows” that linger in the subconscious minds of users.
   • Users are aware, on some level, of the ill effects of pornography, and these subconscious fears are a constant presence below the surface.

3. Conscious Benefits of Quitting:

   • Quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 results in conscious benefits, including the end of wasted time and the realization of the absurdity of engaging with two-dimensional images.
   • The text implies that users may not fully acknowledge these conscious benefits until they decide to quit.

4. Balanced Account:

   • While the previous chapters focused on the advantages of being a non-user, there’s an acknowledgment of the need for a balanced account.
   • The upcoming chapter is mentioned, which will list the advantages of being a user, ensuring fairness in the discussion.

Chapter 11

The Willpower Method

Reading Time: 15.5 minutes

It’s an accepted fact in society that it’s very difficult to stop 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. Books and forums advising you on how to stop usually start off by telling you how difficult it is. The truth is that it’s ridiculously easy. It’s understandable to question that statement, but first just consider it. If your aim is running a mile in four minutes, that’s difficult and you’ll have to undergo years of hard training, and even then possibly being physically incapable.

However, all you have to do to stop 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is to not watch it and/or masturbate anymore. Nobody forces you to masturbate (apart from yourself) and unlike food or water, it isn’t needed for survival. So if you want to stop doing it, why should it be difficult? In fact, it isn’t. It’s users who make it difficult for themselves through use of willpower or any method that forces the user to feel like they’re making some sort of sacrifice. Let’s consider these methods.

We don’t decide to become users, we merely experiment with 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 magazines or websites and because they’re awful (that’s right, awful), apart from our desired clip, we’re convinced that we can stop whenever we want to. At first, we watch those first few clips when we want to and on special occasions. Before we realise it, we’re not only visiting those sites regularly and masturbating when we want to — we’re masturbating to them daily. 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 has become a part of our lives, ensuring we require an internet connection wherever we go. We then believe we’re entitled to love, sex, orgasm and the stress-relieving properties of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. It doesn’t seem to occur to us that the same clip and actors don’t provide us with the same degree of arousal and we begin fighting against the red line to avoid ‘bad 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇’. In fact, masturbation and internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 neither improves our sex lives nor reduces stress, it’s merely that users believe they can’t enjoy life or handle stress without it.

It usually takes a long time to realise that we’re hooked because we suffer from the illusion that users watch 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 because they enjoy it — and not because they need to. When we’re not ‘enjoying’ 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 , which we can never do unless novelty, shock or escalation is added, we’re under the illusion we can stop whenever. This is a confidence trap. “I don’t enjoy 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 , so I can stop when I want to”. Only you never seem to ‘want’ to stop.

It’s usually not until we actually try to stop that we realise a problem exists. The first attempts are generally early — triggered by meeting a partner and noticing they aren’t ‘quite enough’ after the initial dates. Another common reason is noticing health effects present in daily life.

Regardless of reason, the user always waits for a stressful situation, whether health or sex. As soon as they stop, the little monster begins to get hungry. The user then wants something to pump their dopamine, such as cigarettes, alcohol, or their favourite — internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 — with their harem only a click away. The 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 cache is no longer in the basement, it’s virtual and accessible from anywhere. If their partner is around or they’re with friends, they no longer have access to their virtual harem, making them even more distressed.

If the user has come across scientific material or online communities, they’ll be having a tug-of-war in their mind, resisting temptations and feeling deprived. Their way to usually relieve stress is now unavailable, suffering a triple blow. The probable result after this period of torture is compromise – “I’ll cut down” or “I’ve picked the wrong time” or perhaps, “I’ll wait until the stress has gone from my life.” However, once the stress has gone there’s no reason to stop and the user doesn’t decide to quit again until the next stressful time.

Of course, there’s never a right time because life for most people becomes more stressful. We leave the protection of our parents, entering the world of setting up home, taking on mortgages, having children and having more responsible jobs. Regardless — the user’s life cannot become less stressful because 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 actually causes stress. The quicker the user passes on to the escalation stage, the more distressed they become and the greater the illusion of dependency grows.

In fact, it’s an illusion that life becomes more stressful and 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 — or a similar crutch — creates that illusion. This will be discussed in greater detail later, but after these initial failures the user usually relies on the possibility that one day they’ll wake up and just not want to masturbate or use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. This hope is usually kindled by stories heard from other ex-users, “I wasn’t serious until I had a fading penetration, then I didn’t want to use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 anymore and stopped masturbating.”

Don’t kid yourself, probe these rumours and you’ll discover they’re never quite as simple as they appear. Usually the user has already been preparing to stop and merely used the incident as a springboard. More often in the case of people who stop “just like that,” they’ve suffered a shock: perhaps a discovery by their partner, a self-spotting incident of accessing 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 not of their normal sexual orientation or they’ve had a sexual dysfunction scare themselves. “That’s just the sort of person I am.” Stop kidding yourself. It won’t happen unless you make it happen.

Let’s consider in greater detail why the willpower method is so difficult. For most of our lives we adopt the head-in-the-sand, “I’ll stop tomorrow” approach. At odd times, something will trigger off an attempt to stop. It may be concerns about health, virility or a bout of self-analysis and realising we don’t actually enjoy it. Whatever the reason, we start to weigh up the pros and cons of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 . Sex is split into tantric (touch, smell, voice) and propagative (orgasm); this is one of the major keys in opening our mind, and without this important distinction, there’ll be confusion, which leads to failure. On rational assessment we find out what we’ve known our entire lives, the conclusion is a thousand times over “STOP WATCHING IT!”

If you were to sit down and give points to the advantages of stopping and compare them to the advantages of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 , the total point count for stopping would far outweigh any ‘disadvantages’. If you employ Pascal’s Wager, by quitting you’re losing almost nothing, with high chances of gains and higher chances of not losing. Although the user knows that they’ll be better off as a non-user, the belief they’re making a sacrifice trips them up. Although an illusion, it’s powerful. They don’t know why, but the user has the belief that during the good and bad times of life, the sessions appear to help. Even before starting their attempt, societal brainwashing further reinforced by the brainwashing from their own addiction is then combined with the even more powerful brainwashing of how difficult it is to ‘give up’.

Users hear stories of those who’ve stopped for many months and still desperately crave it, or of disgruntled quitters, who, having stopped, spend the rest of their lives bemoaning the fact that they’d love to have a session. There are tales of users stopping for many months or years, living happy lives, only to have one ‘peek’ at 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and are suddenly hooked again. Users probably know several in the advanced stages of the disease, visibly destroying themselves and clearly not enjoying life — yet continuing to use. Additionally, they’ve probably suffered one or more of those experiences themselves.

So instead of starting with the feeling, “Great! Have you heard the news? I don’t need to watch 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 any more!”, they start instead with feelings of doom and gloom — as if trying to climb Everest — and they falsely determine that once the little monster has its hooks into you, you’re hooked for life. Many users start the attempt by apologising to their girlfriends or wives, “Look, I’m trying to give up 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. I’ll probably be irritable for the next couple of weeks, so try to bear with me.” Most attempts are doomed before they begin.

Assume that the user survives a few days without a session. They’re getting back their arousal and are starting to recover. They haven’t opened their favourite tube sites and are consequently getting aroused by normal stimuli they’d previously zoned out at. The reasons they decided to stop in the first place are rapidly disappearing from their thoughts, like seeing a bad road accident whilst driving. It’ll slow you down for a while, but you stomp your foot on the throttle the next time you’re late for an appointment.

On the other side of the war is the little monster who still hasn’t had its fix. There’s no physical pain — if you had the same feeling because of a cold, you wouldn’t stop working or get depressed, you’d laugh it off. All the user knows is they want to visit their harem. The little monster knows this, and starts up the big brainwashing monster, causing the same person who was a few hours or days earlier listing all of the reasons to stop, to now desperately search for any excuse to start again. They begin saying things like:

• “Life is too short, a bomb could go off, I could step under a bus tomorrow. I’ve left it too late. They tell you everything gives you an addiction nowadays.”
• “I’ve picked the wrong time.”
• “I should have waited until after Christmas, after my holidays/tests, after this stressful event in my life.”
• “I can’t concentrate, I’m getting irritable and bad-tempered, I can’t even do my job properly.”
• “My family and friends won’t love me. Let’s face it, for everybody’s sake I have to start again. I’m a confirmed sex addict and there’s no way I’ll ever be happy again without an orgasm.”
• “Nobody can survive without sex.” (Brainwashed by well meaning people who don’t consider the distinction between the tantric and propagative parts of sex).
• “I knew this would happen, my brain is ‘sensitised’ by DeltaFosB due to changes affected by dopamine surges because of my past excessive 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 use. Sensitisation can ‘never’ be removed from the brain.”

At this stage, the user usually gives in. Firing up the browser, the schizophrenia increases. On one hand there’s the tremendous relief of ending the craving as the little monster finally gets its fix; on the other hand, the orgasm is awful and the user cannot understand why they’re doing it. This is why the user thinks they lack willpower. It’s not in fact lack of willpower, all they’ve done is to change their mind and make a perfectly rational decision in light of the latest information.

“What’s the point of being healthy or rich if you’re miserable?”

Absolutely none! Far better to have a shorter enjoyable life than a lengthy miserable one. Fortunately, this is untrue for the non-user, as life is infinitely more enjoyable. The misery the user is suffering isn’t due to withdrawal pangs — though it’s initially triggered by them — the actual agony is the tug-of-war in the mind caused by doubt and uncertainty. Because the user starts by feeling they’re making a sacrifice, they then begin to feel deprived, which is a form of stress.

One of these stressful times is when the brain tells them to ‘have a peek’, wanting to backtrack as soon as they stop. But because they’ve stopped, they can’t and this makes them even more depressed and sets the trigger off again. Another factor making quitting so difficult is waiting for something to happen. If your objective is passing a driving test, as soon as you’ve passed the test it’s certain whether you’ve achieved your objective. Under the willpower method the internal narrative is – “If I can go long enough without internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, the urge to watch it will eventually go.” You can see this in practice in online forums where addicts talk about their streaks or days of abstinence.

As said above, the agony the user undergoes is mental and caused by uncertainty. Although there’s no physical pain, it still has powerful effects. Now miserable and insecure, the user is far from forgetting, now full of doubts and fears.

• “How long will the craving last?”
• “Will I ever be happy again?”
• “Will I ever want to get up in the morning?”
• “How will I ever cope with stress in future?”

The user is waiting for things to improve but while they’re still moping, the ‘harem’ is becoming ever more precious. In fact, something is happening but unconsciously, if they can survive weeks without opening the browser, the craving for the little monster disappears. However, as stated previously the pangs of withdrawal from dopamine and opioids are so mild that the user isn’t even aware of them. At this time, many users sense they’ve ‘kicked it’ and so take a peek to prove it, sending them back down the water slide. Having supplied dopamine to the body, there’s now a little voice at the back of their mind saying “You want another one.” In fact, they’d kicked it, but have hooked themselves again.

As a child you watched cartoons and as per neuroscience you formed neural pathways (DeltaFosB) for them. If you wanted to discourage a child from watching, you’d study if those pathways still existed and survey adults on why they don’t like to watch their favourite childhood cartoons anymore. For one, there’s better entertainment available and secondly, the cartoons just don’t hold the magic anymore. With the willpower method you’re just denying the child the cartoon, but with EasyPeasy you’re also making sure they see no value in it. Which is better?

The user won’t usually get into another session immediately, thinking “I don’t want to get hooked again!” and allows a safe period of hours, days or even weeks to pass. The ex-user can then say, “Well, I didn’t get hooked, so I can safely have another session.” They’ve fallen back into the same trap as when they first started and are already on the slippery slope.

Users who succeed using the willpower method tend to find it long and difficult because the primary problem is the brainwashing. Long after the physical addiction has died, the user is still moping around, miserable. Eventually, after surviving this long term torture, it begins to dawn on them that they aren’t going to give in, stopping the moping and accepting that life goes on and is enjoyable without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. There are significantly more failures than successes, because some who succeed go through their lives in a vulnerable state, left with a certain amount of brainwashing telling them that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 does in fact give them a boost. This explains why many users who’ve stopped for long periods end up starting again later on.

Many ex-users will have the occasional session as a ‘special treat’ or to convince themselves how strong their self-control is. It does exactly that — but as soon as their session ends the dopamine starts to leave and a little voice at the back of their mind begins driving them towards another one. If they decide to partake, it still seems to be under control, no shocks, escalation or novelty-seeking, so they say, “Marvellous! While I’m not really enjoying it, I won’t get hooked. After Christmas / this holiday / this trauma, I’ll stop.” Little do they know that the water slides of their brain have been greased even more.

Too late, they’re already hooked! The trap they managed to claw themselves out of has claimed its victim again.

As said previously, enjoyment doesn’t come into it. It never did! If we watched because of enjoyment, nobody would stay on the tube sites for longer than it takes to finish the deed. Regardless, a better way to self-pleasure is from memories. We assume we enjoy internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 only because we can’t believe we’d be stupid enough to get addicted if we didn’t enjoy it. Most users don’t have any idea about supernormal stimulus, novelty or shock-seeking and even after reading about it, they don’t believe their use is motivated by evolutionary reward-circuit wiring. That’s why so much of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is subconscious — if you were aware of the neurological changes and had to justify it costing you money in the future, even the illusion of enjoyment would go.

When we try to block our minds to the bad side, we feel stupid. If we had to face it, that would be intolerable! If you watch a user in action, you’ll see they’re happy only when unaware they’re using. Once aware, they tend to be uncomfortable and apologetic. 𝖯𝗈𝗋𝗇 feeds the little monster so upon purging it from your body along with the brainwashing (big monster), you’ll have neither need nor desire to watch!

Summarization 11:

• Society often views quitting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and masturbation as difficult, but the author argues it’s easy if one chooses not to engage in these activities.
• The difficulty arises from users imposing willpower or sacrifices on themselves, leading to a sense of deprivation.
• Users typically start with casual exploration but eventually become regular consumers, convinced they need it for love, sex, and stress relief.
• Users often realize the problem only when faced with stress triggers, such as health concerns or relationship issues.
• Attempts to quit are often prompted by external stress, but cravings intensify, making it challenging to resist.
• The belief that one can quit at any time is a confidence trap, as users often struggle when attempting to stop.
• Users may hear stories of sudden quitting, but these instances are often more complex and involve prior preparation.
• The willpower method becomes difficult due to societal conditioning, the illusion of sacrifice, and the fear of missing out on perceived benefits.
• Users weigh the pros and cons, but the illusion of sacrifice and societal brainwashing make quitting seem daunting.
• Users frequently apologize to partners before attempting to quit, setting a negative tone for their efforts.
• If users manage to abstain for a while, cravings diminish, but the little monster (desire for 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇) still lingers.
• Doubt and uncertainty plague users attempting to quit, leading to mental agony and stress.
• The willpower method involves waiting for the craving to subside, creating a continuous cycle of uncertainty.
• Users who succeed may still struggle with brainwashing, and some eventually relapse into old habits.
• Ex-users may justify occasional sessions as special treats or tests of self-control, leading to potential relapse.
• Enjoyment is not the primary motivator for watching 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇; users may not even be aware of subconscious factors driving their behavior.
• Overcoming the willpower method involves dispelling illusions about the benefits of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and recognizing that life can be enjoyable without it.

Chapter 12

Beware of Cutting Down

Reading Time: 6 minutes

Many users resort to cutting down as a stepping-stone towards stopping, or as an attempt to control the little monster. Many recommend cutting down or a ‘𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 diet’ as a pick-me-up. Using cutting down as a stepping stone to stopping is fatal. It’s these attempts to cut down that keep us trapped for the remainder of our lives. Generally, cutting down follows failed attempts to stop. After a few hours or days of abstinence the user says something like:

“I can’t face the thought of going to sleep without visiting my online harem, so from now on I’ll just use 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 once in four days or purge my collection of ‘bad 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇’. If I can follow this 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 diet, I can either hold it there or cut down even further.”

Certain terrible things now happen:

1. They’re stuck with the worst of all worlds, still addicted to internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and keeping the monster alive not only in their body, but in their mind.
2. Wishing their life away waiting for the next session.
3. Prior to cutting down, whenever they wanted to visit their harem they’d fire up their browser and at least partially relieve their withdrawal pangs. Now in addition to the normal stresses of life, they’re causing themselves to suffer the withdrawal pangs for most of their lives, which makes them even more miserable and bad-tempered.
4. Whilst indulging, they neither enjoyed most of the sessions nor realised they were using a supernormal stimulus. It was automatic, the only harem visit that was enjoyed was one after a period of abstinence. Now that they wait an extra hour for each harem visit, they ‘enjoy’ each one. The longer waited, the more ‘enjoyable’ each session appears to become, because the ‘enjoyment’ in a session isn’t the session itself — it’s the ending of the agitation caused by the craving — whether slight physical craving or mental moping. The longer the suffering, the more ‘enjoyable’ each session becomes.

The primary difficulty in stopping isn’t the neurological addiction, which is easy. Users will stop without difficulty on various occasions — the death of a loved one, family or work affairs, etc. They’ll go, say, ten days without access and it doesn’t bother them. But if they went the same ten days when they could’ve had access to 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, they’d be tearing their hair out.

Many users will get chances during their work day and abstain, or they’ll pass through Victoria’s Secret or swimming pools and so on without undue inconvenience. Many will abstain if they have to sleep on the couch temporarily to make space for a visitor, or are themselves visiting. Even in Go-Go bars or nudist beaches there have been no riots. Users are almost pleased for someone or something to say they cannot view 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. In fact, users who want to quit get a secret pleasure out of going for long periods without harem visits, giving them hope that perhaps one day they’ll never want it.

The real problem when stopping is brainwashing, an illusion of entitlement that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is some sort of prop or reward and life will never be the same without it. Far from turning you off internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, all that cutting down accomplishes is leaving you feeling insecure and miserable, convincing you that the most precious thing on this earth is the new clip you missed, that there’s no way you’ll be happy again without seeing it.

There is nothing more pathetic than the user who’s been trying to cut down, suffering from the delusion that the less 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 they watch, the less they’ll want to visit their online harem. The reverse is true — the less they watch 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, the longer they suffer withdrawal pangs and the more they ‘enjoy’ the relief of relieving them. However, they’ll notice their favourite genre isn’t hitting the spot. But that won’t stop them: if the tube sites were dedicated to only one star or one genre, no user would ever go more than once.

Difficult to believe? What’s the worst moment of self-control one feels? Waiting for four days and then having a climax. Then, what’s the most precious moment for most users on a four-day 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 diet? That’s right, the same climax after waiting for four days! Do you really believe that you’re masturbating to enjoy the orgasm, or the more rational explanation that you need to relieve withdrawal pangs under the illusion that you’re entitled to?

Removal of the brainwashing is essential to remove illusions about 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 before you extinguish that final session. Unless you’ve removed the illusion that you enjoy it before you close that window, there’s no way you can prove it afterwards without getting hooked again. When hovering over bookmarks and saved pictures, ask yourself where the glory in this action is. Perhaps you believe that only certain clips are of good taste, like ones on habitual or favourite themes. If so, why bother to watch other videos or themes? Because you got into the habit? Why would anyone habitually mess up their brain and waste themselves? Nothing is different after a month, so why should a 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 clip be any different?

You can test this yourself. Find that hot clip from last month to prove it’s different. Then, set a reminder and watch the same clip after a month without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. It will hit (almost) the same spots as it did last month. The same clip will be different after a social event where you’re turned down or tested by a potential partner. The reason being that the addict can never be fully happy if the little monster remains unsatisfied.

Where does satisfaction come into it? It’s just that they’re miserable if they can’t relieve their withdrawal symptoms. The difference between watching 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and not is the difference between being happy and miserable. That’s why internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 appears to be better. Users who get on their sites first thing in the morning for 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 are miserable whether watching it or not.

Cutting down not only doesn’t work, but is the worst form of torture. It doesn’t work because initially the user hopes that by getting into the habit less and less, they’ll reduce their desire to watch 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. It’s not a habit, it’s addiction. The nature of any addiction is wanting more and more, not less and less. Therefore in order to cut down, the user has to exercise willpower and discipline for the rest of their lives. So, cutting down means willpower and discipline forever. Stopping is far easier and less painful; there are literally tens of thousands of cases in which cutting down has failed.

The problem of stopping isn’t the dopamine addiction, which is easy to cope with. It’s the mistaken belief that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 gives you pleasure, brought about initially by brainwashing received before we started using, further reinforced by the actual addiction. All cutting down does is reinforce the fallacy further, to the extent that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 dominates their lives completely and convinces them that the most precious thing on earth is their addiction.

The handful of cases that do succeed have been achieved by a relatively short period of cutting down, followed by going ‘cold turkey’. These users stopped in spite of cutting down, not because of it. All it did was prolong the agony, failed attempts leaving users nervous wrecks and even more convinced they’re hooked for life. This is usually enough to keep them reverting back to their online harem for pleasure and crutch, or at least for another stretch before the next attempt.

However, cutting down does help to illustrate the futility of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, clearly demonstrating that visits to the harem are not enjoyable after periods of abstinence. You have to bang your head against a brick wall (suffer withdrawal pangs) in order to make it nice upon stopping. Therefore, the choices are:

1. Cutting down for life and suffering self-imposed torture, which you’ll be unable to do anyway.
2. Increasingly torturing yourself for life, which is pointless.
3. Being nice to yourself, and cutting 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 out altogether.

The other aspect that cutting down demonstrates is that there’s no such thing as the odd or occasional harem visit. Internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a chain reaction that will last the rest of your life unless you make a positive effort to break it.

Remember: Cutting down will drag you down.

Just One Peek

Reading Time: 3.5 minutes

“Just one peek” is a myth that you must remove from your mind:

• It’s just one peek that gets us started in the first place.
• It’s just one peek to tide us over a difficult patch or on a special occasion that defeats most of our attempts to stop.
• It’s just one peek that after having succeeded in breaking the addiction, sends us back into the trap. Sometimes it’s just to confirm they don’t need 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 anymore and one harem visit does just that.

The aftereffects of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 will be horrible and convince the user they’ll never become hooked again — but they already are. The user feels that something making them so miserable and guilty shouldn’t have made them do it, yet it did.

It’s the thought of ‘one special session’ that often prevents users from stopping, the one after your long conference trip, hard day at work, fight with the kids, or incident where your partner rejects you for sex. Get it firmly in your mind that there’s no such thing as ‘just one peek’. It’s a chain reaction that will last the rest of your life unless broken. The myth about the odd, special occasion keeps users moping after stopping. Get into the habit of never seeing the ‘no big deal’ session, it’s fantasy. Whenever you think about 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, see a filthy lifetime of spending eons behind a screen for the privilege of destroying yourself mentally and physically — a lifetime of slavery and hopelessness. It isn’t a crime if your erections are unreliable, but it is when you could be happier long-term but instead choose to sacrifice that for short term ‘pleasure’.

It’s okay we can’t always come up with ‘something to do’ for the void; doing that isn’t realistically possible in every instance for our entire lives. We can plan for most of them, but sometimes it just happens. Good and bad times also happen, irrespective of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. But get it clearly into your mind, the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 isn’t it. You’re stuck with either a lifetime of misery or none at all. You wouldn’t dream of taking cyanide just because you liked the taste of almonds, so stop punishing yourself with the occasional ‘no-big-deal’ session. Ask a user with issues, “If you had the opportunity to go back to the time before you became hooked, would you have become a user?” The answer is inevitably, “You’ve got to be joking!” Yet every user has that choice every day of their lives, so why don’t they opt for it? The answer is fear, the fear that they can’t stop or that life won’t be the same without it.

Stop kidding yourself! You can do it, anybody can. It’s ridiculously easy but in order to make it so, there are certain fundamentals to get clear in your mind.

1. There’s nothing to give up, only marvellous positive gains to achieve.
2. Never convince yourself of the odd ‘no-big-deal’ or ‘just-one-peek’ session. It doesn’t exist. There’s only a lifetime of filth and slavery.
3. There’s nothing different about you; any user can find it easy to stop.

Many users believe that they’re confirmed addicts or have addictive personalities. This usually happens as a result of reading excessive amounts of shocking neuroscience. There’s no such thing, nobody is born with the need to masturbate to video clips before they became hooked. It’s the drug that hooks you, not the nature of your character or personality. The nature of addictive supernormal stimulus makes you believe this is the case. However, it’s essential to remove this belief because if you believe you’re addicted, you will be, even after the little monster in your body is long dead. It’s essential to remove all of this brainwashing.

Chapter 14

Casual Users

Reading Time: 14 minutes

Heavy users tend to envy the casual 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 user. We’ve all met these characters: “Oh, I can go all week without a session, it doesn’t really bother me.” We wish we were like that. This might be hard to believe, but no user enjoys being a user. Never forget:

No user ever decided to become one, casual or otherwise, therefore,

All users feel stupid, therefore,

All users have to lie to themselves and others in a vain attempt to justify their stupidity.

Golf fanatics brag about how often they play and want to play, so why do users brag about how little they masturbate? If that’s the true criterion, then surely the accolade is not masturbating at all, isn’t it?

If someone said to you, “I can go all week without carrots and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest”, you’d think you were talking to a nutcase. If I enjoyed carrots, why would I want to go all week without them? If I didn’t enjoy them, why would I make such a statement? So when a user makes a comment about surviving a week without a session, they’re trying to convince themselves — and you — that they don’t have a problem. But there would be no need to make a statement if they didn’t have a problem. Translated, this comment is “I managed to survive a whole week without 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇.” Like every user, hoping that after this they could survive the rest of their lives. If only able to survive a week, can you imagine how precious the session must have been afterwards, having felt deprived for an entire week?

This is why casual users are effectively more hooked than heavy users. Not only is the illusion of pleasure greater, but they have less incentive to quit because they spend less time on it and are therefore less vulnerable to health risks. Occasionally, they may experience sexual dysfunction, but are unsure what caused it and so it’s blamed on other factors. Remember, the only pleasure users get is in the search-and-seek dopamine cycle and relieving the withdrawal pangs, as has already been explained. The pleasure is an illusion — imagine the little 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 monster as a near-imperceptible itch that we remain unaware of most of the time.

If you have a permanent itch, the natural tendency is scratching it. As reward circuits become increasingly immune to dopamine and opioids, the natural tendency is to edge, escalate, binge, novelty-seek, shock-seek, etc. There are four main factors that prevent users from chain-viewing.

Time. Most cannot afford to.

Health. In order to relieve the itch, we have to consume all free material that’s available and then some. Capacity to cope with that kind of binging varies with each individual, and at different times and different situations in their lives. This acts as an automatic restraint.

Discipline. Discipline is imposed by society, by the user’s work, friends and relatives, or perhaps even by the user themselves as a result of the natural tug-of-war going on in every user’s mind.

Imagination. Lack of imagination plays down the shock, novelty, and other values of the clip on a subjective basis.

It’s easy to think of ‘non-casual’ users as weak, unable to understand why others are able to limit their ‘intake’. However, heavy users should keep in mind that most casual users are simply incapable of chain-viewing, which requires very strong imagination and stamina. Some of these once-a-week users that heavy users tend to envy are physically incapable of doing more, or because their job, society, or own hatred of becoming hooked won’t allow them to.

It may be advantageous to provide a few definitions.

The Non-user

Someone who has never fallen prey to the trap but shouldn’t be complacent. They’re a non-user only by luck or grace of goodness. All users were convinced they’d never become hooked and some non-users keep trying an occasional session.

The Casual User

Of which there are two basic classifications:

1. The user who’s fallen for the trap but doesn’t realise it – don’t envy such users. They’re merely sampling the nectar at the mouth of the pitcher plant and in all probability will soon be heavy users. Remember, just as all alcoholics started off as casual drinkers, so too do all users start off casually.
2. The user who was previously a heavy user, and so thinks they can’t stop. These users are the saddest of all and they fall into various categories, each requiring separate comment.

The Once-A-Day User

If they enjoy their entitlement to orgasm, why use internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 only once daily? If they can take it or leave it, why bother at all? Remember, the ‘habit’ is — in actuality — banging your head against a wall to make it relaxing upon stopping. The once-a-day user relieves their withdrawal pangs for less than an hour each day. Although unaware, the rest of their day is spent banging their head against this wall, doing so for most of their lives. They’re using once a day because they cannot risk getting caught, or messing with their neurological health. It’s easy to convince the heavy user they don’t enjoy it, but significantly harder to convince a casual one. Anyone who has gone through an attempt to cut down will know it’s the worst torture of all, and almost guaranteed to keep you addicted for the rest of your life.

The Rejected User

They demand the right to orgasm every day, but their sex partner isn’t always happy to fulfill the request. Initially, they’re using internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 to fill this void, but upon taking the exciting ‘water slide’ they’re trapped in a cycle of novelty, shock, supernormal images, etc. In fact, they’re happy with their partner’s rejection as it provides something of an excuse. If internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 gives so much to you, why bother to have a partner at all? Set them free instead. They’re not even enjoying sessions when they have to ‘carry’ their partner in their mind. At some point, they’re looking for their real-life partner to hand them an excuse to venture into the dark valleys of the internet.

The P𝗈𝗋𝗇-Diet User

Also known as, “I can stop whenever I want to. I’ve done it thousands of times!”

If they think dieting helps getting them into the mood to pick up partners, why are they even on the diet of once in every four days? Nobody can predict the future, and what if the happenstance of meeting occurred an hour after your scheduled session? Also, if occasional ‘cleaning the plumbing’ is good to relieve tension, why not plumb every day? It’s been proven that masturbation isn’t required to keep genitals healthy and internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 isn’t required at all. Even if that’s the case, no pick-up-artist ‘guru’ who has read about the neurological damage will ever recommend watching super-stimulus 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. The truth is, the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇-diet user is still hooked. Although they’re rid of the physical addiction, they’re still left with the primary problem of brainwashing. They’re hoping each time they’ll stop for good, but soon fall for the same trap again.

Most users actually envy these stoppers-and-starters and think about how ‘lucky’ the dieter is to be able to control their usage. However, they overlook the fact that the dieter isn’t controlling their usage — when they’re using, they wish they weren’t. They go through the hassle of stopping, then begin to feel deprived and fall for the trap again, wishing they hadn’t. They get the worst of both worlds. If you think about it, this is true in the lives of users when allowed to have a session — taking it as entitled or wishing they didn’t. It’s only when deprived that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 becomes precious. The ‘forbidden-fruit’ syndrome is one of the awful dilemmas for users. They can never win because they’re moping for a myth, an illusion. There’s only a single way they can win, stopping moping by stopping 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇!

The “I Only Watch Static/Tame/Home-Made P𝗈𝗋𝗇” User

Yes, everyone does this to start with, but isn’t it amazing how the average shock-value of the clips seems to rapidly increase, and before we know it we’re feeling deprived (tolerance)? The novelty lacks with static 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, so we pay the piper for a cup of grease and ride down the water slide towards resentment and guilt. The worst thing you can do is use your partner’s pictures (with approval, of course) for masturbation. Why? Because in the process you’re re-wiring your brain for the seeking-, searching- and variety-induced dopamine flushes. Chemically, the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 water slides in the brain is DeltaFosB building up, so you’ll find yourself having difficulties when you’re with them in real time.

Another trap in this category is ‘amateur’ and ‘home-made’ 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇. Most are fakes and you know it, plus you’re also not going to stop at the very first one that hits your eyes, instead continuing to seek and search. Remember, it’s not only orgasm the brain seeks, but the novelty of the hunt that gives the water slide its thrill. The 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 content isn’t the issue — whether amateur or professional — it’s the flushes of dopamine in the brain causing build-up of tolerance and satiation. P𝗈𝗋𝗇 destroys normal brain operation, masturbation confusing the muscle–brain response; orgasm floods the brain with opioids and makes the pathway easier to follow next time.

The “I’ve Stopped But Have an Occasional Peek” User

In a way, peeking users are the most pathetic of all. Either they go through their lives believing they’re being deprived, or more often, the occasional peek becomes two, sliding downwards on the slippery slope, sooner or later falling back to being heavy users. They’ve again fallen for the very trap they fell into in the first place.

There are two other categories of casual users. The first is the type masturbating to images or clips of the latest celebrity sex tapes hitting the news, or something that they ‘carried home’ from their ‘accidental’ viewing at school or work. These people are really just non-users, but they feel that they’re missing out. They want to be part of the action, with most of us starting off this way. Next time, notice that after a while the celebrity of your fantasy isn’t doing it for you anymore. The more ‘unattainable’ the target of your fantasy, the more frustrating the withdrawal of the orgasm is.

The second category has been gaining attention recently, best described by outlining a case shared online.

A professional woman had been reading internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 stories for many years and had never used more or less than once each night. Incidentally, she was a very strong-willed lady. Most users would wonder why she wanted to stop in the first place — gladly pointing out that there was no risk of PIED, or PE in her case (untrue). She wasn’t even using static images, the stories being far tamer than any material that they themselves use on a daily basis.

They make the mistake of assuming that casual users are happier and more in control. They might be more in control, but they certainly aren’t happy. In the woman’s case, she wasn’t satisfied with her partner nor with real sex, and highly irritable when responding to her daily stresses and strains. Her nearest-and-dearest was unable to figure out what was bothering her. Even if she convinced herself to be unafraid of her usage through rationalisation, she still found herself unable to enjoy real relationships which invariably involve ups and downs. Her brain’s reward centre was unable to make use of normal destressors present in life as a result of daily dopamine flooding. Subsequent downregulation of her brain’s receptors had rendered her melancholic under most circumstances. Like most, she had a great fear of pornography’s dark side and treatment of women – before her first time. Eventually, she fell victim to societal brainwashing and tried her first site. Unlike most who capitulate and become chain users, upon seeing the foul clips of violence, she resisted the slide.

All you ever enjoy in 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is ending the craving that started before it, whether the almost-imperceptible physical craving, or the mental torture of not being allowed to scratch the itch. Internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 itself is poison, which is why you only suffer the illusion of enjoying it after periods of abstinence. Similarly to hunger or thirst, the longer you suffer it, the greater the pleasure when finally relieved. Making the mistake of believing 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is just habit, they think: “If I can keep it down to a certain level or only on special occasions, my brain and body will accept it. Then, I can keep using at that level or reduce it further should I wish to.”

Get it clear in your mind, the ‘habit’ doesn’t exist. P𝗈𝗋𝗇 is drug addiction, with the natural tendency being to relieve withdrawal pangs, not enduring them. To hold it at the level you’re currently at would require you to exercise tremendous amounts of discipline and willpower for the rest of your life. As your brain’s reward centre becomes tolerant of dopamine and opioids, it wants more and more, not less and less.

As 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 begins to gradually destroy your nervous system, courage, confidence and impulse controls, you become increasingly unable to resist reducing the interval between each session. This is why, in the early days, we can take it or leave it. If we get a sign of something amiss mentally or physically, we just stop. Don’t envy this woman — when you watch only once every twenty-four hours it appears to be the most precious thing on earth, turning 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 into a ‘forbidden fruit’. For many years this poor woman had been at the centre of a tug-of-war.

Though unable to stop using, she was frightened to escalate to streaming clips. For twenty-three hours and ten minutes of every one of those days she had to fight the temptation and lack of feelings towards her boyfriend. It took tremendous willpower to do what she did, eventually reducing her to tears. Such cases are rare, but look at it logically: either there’s a genuine crutch or pleasure in 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, or there isn’t. If there is, who wants to wait an hour, a day, or even a week? Why should you be deprived of the crutch or pleasure in the meantime? If there’s no genuine crutch or pleasure, why bother paying a visit to your online harem?

Here is another case of a once-in-four-days man, describing his life as follows:

“I’m forty years old, I’ve suffered PIED (𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇-induced erectile dysfunction) with real women and even when using 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, which is most of the time. It’s been a while since I had a full erection. Before going on the once-in-four 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 diet, I used to sleep soundly through the night after my session. Now I wake up every hour of the night and it’s all I can think about. Even when asleep, I dream about my favorite clips. On days after my scheduled session I feel pretty down, the diet taking up all of my energy. My SO would leave me alone because I’m so bad-tempered and if she can’t leave, she won’t have me in the house. I go for jogs outside but my mind is obsessed with it.

“On the scheduled day I begin planning earlier in the night, getting very irritated if something happens against my plans. I’d back out of conversations and give in (only to later regret) at work and home. I’m not an argumentative guy, but I don’t want the topic or conversation to hold me down. I remember occasions when I’d pick silly fights with my SO. I wait for ten o’clock and when it arrives my hands are shaking uncontrollably. I don’t start the deed right away — as there are new videos that have been added — and ‘shop around’. My mind tells me that since I’ve starved myself for four days I deserve a ‘special’ clip that has to be worth the time spent searching. Eventually I settle for one or two, but want it to last so that I can ‘survive’ through the next four days, so I take more time to finish the deed.”

In addition to his other troubles, this poor man has no idea that he’s treating himself to poison. First, he’s suffering ‘forbidden-fruit syndrome’ and then forcing his brain to flush dopamine. Comparatively, his dopamine receptors aren’t as cut down, but he’s greasing the ■■■■ water slides, seeking, searching for edging, novelty, variety, shock and anxiety in order to survive the next four days. You probably picture this man as a pathetic imbecile, but this isn’t so. As a former athlete and marine sergeant, he didn’t want to become addicted to anything. However, upon returning from war he trained as an IT technician in a veterans’ rehab program.

When entering the civil workforce, he was a well paid IT professional in a bank, and was given a laptop to take home. It was the year that famous socialites ‘leaked’ their 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 videos online and there was much talk about it. He then got hooked, spending the rest of his life paying through the nose and ruining himself physically and mentally. If he were an animal, society would have long since put him out of his misery, yet we still allow mentally and physically healthy young teenagers to become hooked. You may think this case and notes are exaggerated, but this case — while extreme — is far from unique. There are tens of thousands of similar stories. Can you be sure that none of his friends and acquaintances envied him for being a once-in-four man? If you think this couldn’t happen to you, stop kidding yourself.

IT’S ALREADY HAPPENING.

Like other addicts, 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 users are notorious liars, even to themselves. They have to be. Most casual users indulge far more times and on far more occasions than they’ll admit to. Many conversations with so called ‘twice-a-week’ users will admit they’ve done it more than three or four times that week. Read reddit, NoFap and rebooting-forum stories from casual users, and you’ll find they’re either counting days or waiting to fail. You don’t need to envy casual users, and you don’t need to use either, life is infinitely sweeter without it. Take the following log:

“It started with a simple challenge to not touch my junk for a day and being unable. I don’t think about masturbation anymore, it doesn’t cross my mind. That is possible, I promise you. The riches that await those who are able – they’re incredible.”

Teenagers are generally more difficult to cure, not because they find it more difficult to stop, but because they don’t believe they’re hooked or are at the initial stages of the trap, generally suffering from the delusion that they’ll automatically have stopped before the second stage.

Parents of children who loathe internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 shouldn’t have a false sense of security. All children loathe the dark sides of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 before becoming hooked. At one point, you did too. Don’t be fooled by scare campaigns either, the trap is the same as it always was. Children know that internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is supernormal stimulus, but they also know that one ‘visit’ or ‘peek’ won’t do it. At some stage they may be influenced by a partner, classmate, or work colleague.

Please do not become complacent in this matter. Society’s failure to prevent adolescents from becoming addicted to internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and other drugs is perhaps the most disturbing facet of this addiction. Adolescent brains are significantly more plastic, and it is necessary to educate and protect them. If you’re unsure where to start, good resources include the YourBrainOnPorn.com book to educate yourself on the neuroscience. Even if you suspect your teenager might be already hooked, the book provides foundational understanding in helping someone to escape. Otherwise, recommend this book!

Chapter 15

The YouTube / Twitch / Instagram User

Reading Time: 4 minutes

This user should be grouped with casual users, but the effects are so insidious that it merits a separate chapter. It leads to the breakdown of self-control, nearly causing a split for one NoFap forum user:

“I was three weeks into one of my failed attempts to stop, the attempt had been triggered by my wife’s worry about my unreliable hard-ons and lack of interest. I had told her that it wasn’t her, just job pressure. She said,”I know you’ve handled the work pressure before, but how would you feel if you were me and had to watch someone you love systematically destroying themselves?” It was an argument I found irresistible, hence the attempt to stop. She knows I’m not cheating, but this is in a way worse than that. The attempt ended after three weeks, culminating in a heated argument an old friend. It didn’t register until years after that my devious mind had deliberately triggered off the argument, I felt justifiably aggravated at the time but don’t believe it was coincidence as I had never argued with this particular friend before, nor have I since. It was clearly the little monster at work.

“Regardless, I had my excuse. I desperately needed a release and it didn’t matter how. My wife wasn’t in the mood so I had feelings of ‘entitlement’, so I convinced myself it would be okay if I ‘restricted’ myself by avoiding 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 sites and staying this side of the ‘red line’ by only watching YouTube videos. But my wife ended up ‘coming around’ as the night unfolded and wanted to make love, however I was tired and without my ‘horsepower’ so invented a headache. I couldn’t bear to think of the disappointment this would cause my wife. Then I gradually returned to old ways, with YouTube becoming my new harem destination. I remember being quite pleased at the time, thinking that it was at least cutting my consumption. Eventually, she accused me of continuing to ignore her in bed. I hadn’t realised it, but she described the times I’d caused an argument and stormed out of the house. At other times, taking two hours to purchase some minor item and faking sprains. I’d made feeble excuses to cop out of wooing her so when I have a reliable online harem it’s even harder.”

The worst thing about the YouTube user is that it supports the fallacy in their mind that they’re being deprived. Simultaneously, it causes major losses of self-respect; an otherwise honest person may force themselves to deceive their loved one. It probably has happened, or is still happening to you in some form.

Problems faced with websites like Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter (and most social media) are primarily driven by supplementation. Driven by novelty-seeking dopamine urges, they trick themselves into believing they’re on a safe site. Remember — the thrill is in seeking, not killing, and the little monster doesn’t care where its fix comes from. For the user, the ‘soft’ content received in their various online feeds gives them fleeting relief of withdrawal pangs, keeping them hooked and waiting for their next session.

The model in the image/video is indeed beautiful, and if you had them on your side right now they could surely give you pleasure, but that image can’t… It simply just isn’t real. Your brain is tricked like a bull running into a red cape, and afterwards doesn’t understand why it did it. One could think that you could just look at those images then, without masturbating. But remember that your brain is hooked on the limitless novelty, and the little monster doesn’t care where its fix comes from. It’s the same trap.

You might have watched the TV series Columbo. The theme of each episode is similar. The villain, usually a wealthy and respected businessman, has committed what he’s convinced is the perfect murder and his confidence in his crime remaining undetected receives a boost when he discovers the rather shabby and unimpressive-looking Detective Columbo is in charge of the case.

Columbo has this frustrating practice of closing the door after finishing his interrogation, having assured the suspect that he’s in the clear. But just before the satisfied look has disappeared from the murderer’s face, Columbo reappears, saying “Just one small point, sir, which I’m sure you can explain…” The suspect stammers, and from that point on he knows that Columbo will gradually wear him down. No matter how heinous the crime, from that point on sympathies were with the murderer.

These bouts are similar, the tension of not being allowed to cross the red line to get the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 fix they ‘rightly deserved’, then wondering where the pleasure was after finishing the deed. Fear of crossing the line, losing control and returning to the bed, only to be stalked by the fear your partner wanted sex. The ‘safe’ YouTube videos will no longer satisfy you due to desensitisation, lack of novelty, and the certain knowledge that sooner or later you’ll visit your favorite online harem. The final humiliation and shame then being when that certainty become a fact, followed by the immediate return to chain-viewing.

OH, THE JOYS OF BEING A PMOer!

Chapter 16

A social habit?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Health of the mind and body are the primary reasons for we should want to stop — but then, they always have been. We don’t actually need scientific research and knowledge in neuroscience to tell us 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is addictive and can potentially shatter our lives. These bodies of ours are the most sophisticated objects on the planet, and any user knows from the first session that the stimulus can go to excess and turn poisonous.

The only reason why we ever get involved with 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is the cycle’s overlap with our evolutionary programming. Internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is highly available, free and streaming twenty-four hours a day. P𝗈𝗋𝗇 was once considered harmless, but that was when the images were static and the videos involved a trip to the local store for a VHS tape.

Today, it’s generally considered — even by users themselves — that 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 is a supernormal stimulus and addiction-forming. In the old days, the strong man didn’t admit that he masturbated, with jerk being a derogatory term. In every pub, club or bar, the majority of men would be proudly wanting to take a woman home and have real sex. Today, the position is completely reversed for the internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 addict. Today’s man realises that he’s beginning to feel he doesn’t need a woman. Banding together online, he discusses experiences, devises strategies and explores options. Today’s strong man doesn’t want to depend on drugs. Through social revolution, all users are giving serious thought to stopping internet 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 and masturbation. Today’s users consider 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 a useless and harmful activity.

The most significant trend noticed on forums is the increasing emphasis on the anti-social aspects of 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, the days when a man boasted of having sex and orgasms every day is slowly being replaced with realisation of slavery to the 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 monster.

The only reason why people continue after being educated is because they’ve failed to stop or are too frightened to try. There’s a wide spectrum of interest in the subject, some abstaining from 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇, masturbation and orgasm — with or without partners. Practices that separate the tantric and propagative parts of sex such as semen retention and Karezza are discussed and adopted in droves. Many aforementioned failures are in reality fall-forwards, thus somewhat benefiting people practising them. Once you start the no-PMO route you’ll find the best fit that applies to your life; it’s encouraged to devise your own plan on orgasms after understanding and practising sexual separation. Whatever your route, you’ll see value in limiting the number of times you flush your brain with chemicals through orgasm, and never again seeing 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 , sex and orgasm as a pleasure or crutch for your emotional self.

Various popular online communities founded by non-users are dedicated to quitting not only 𝗉𝗈𝗋𝗇 but also masturbation. These sites are ultimately beneficial to those escaping, but most notes point them to try willpower. The consequence of obsession with abstinence streaks and other measures is self-pity and lack of elation. Much of the brainwashing remains alive and well. Eventually, someone breaks down and a domino effect takes place, other users finding out they aren’t the only ones. However, their efforts aren’t in vain, they’re falling forward, albeit with lots of self-torturing as they shut down their browsers but not the desire and need. EasyPeasy works in the reverse, shutting down the need and desire first, before shutting down the browser. Every day more and more users leave the sinking ship and those left on it become terrified they’ll be the last.

DON’T LET IT BE YOU!
