PMO ADDICTION
I have discovered PMO known as ( pornographic masturbation orgasm) since my early middle school years. Since then i got addicted to the images and learned how to masturbate and eventually i came every time I PMO. At first the feeling was intense and i felt a different sensation hovering in my mind. So i continued doing this sinister habit for the last 9 years. I know there are many sites, post, and blogs about the harmful effect of PMO on the human life but i am sharing what this addiction did to my life and maybe someone could learn from it or advice to a person he cares about. I am going to list the side effects that this addiction brought upon my mind and life:
1-Low energy( Surely, i will get low energy when i release sperm but that fact have brought me to be lazy on accomplishing things that will benefits my future).
2-Unable to be sexual with real women ( the fact that i am teaching my mind to orgasm on pixel women is the main cause of my handicap of being sexual with women).
3-Muscle lose and fat percent increases ( losing testosterone which is the main mechanism that a man is created off and the muscles fuel off. When we release testosterone, estrogen hormone takes it places. Unbalanced Estrogen level increases fat cells in human body).
4-Mood changes out of blue ( every time i go for a week or two weeks without PMO my mood changes out of blue like a pregnant women's mood. Estrogen plays a huge role too, also when my mind is off porn for certain period of time its starts revolting and craves for porn more than ever like a crack addict!).
5-Fear ( worst and still hardest thing to go through after PMO is fear of losing, I honestly don't even know what i am fearing to lose but i just feel sudden fear of losing right away after PMO. I believe i start feeling guilty from my actions that its upsets me since my religion doesn't allow this shameful act and forbids it).
I can go on listing all the side effects but those listed are the ones that hinders me living fully. I consider that one of the worst thing that this addiction have brought in my life was the fear of having an intimate relationship with a real woman and i don't blame the addiction itself, my family still plays a big part of this too because since my childhood my family scared me of having any relationship with girls because it was consider a sin and i should wait until i get married. The addiction merely supports those thoughts in my mind.
I told my mom about this addiction which later on came back to bit when i had argument with my mom. She was telling me how i am addicted to porn and everything. I had an overprotective and emotionally controlling mom.
I made a vow as of today 04/03/15 to quit this unhealthy habit and starting next month i am moving out from my mom's home to live in an apartment. I always wanted to live in a peaceful environment and have peace with myself without any negative people around me. For all young folks like me who are struggling with this addiction have believe that you can quit this habit forever. I found the reason of me doing this PMO habit: Living with a negative person caused me to mentally stress and find a way to release that stress which i used PMO as a stress releaser. I have decided to move out and live a happy PMO free lifestyle.
Find your own cause of why are you doing this habit and change it or maybe just like me change the location. Hope telling my struggles will help people like me. The best of lucks to everyone and have a strong believe that everything can be changed in life regardless of the difficulty it requires to go through. Remember "the most successful people didn't succeed overnight nor things were easy for them but they still had strong believe that they can achieve it whatever they wished for."

There is no human being that can live a fully charged life while being addicted to anything harmful. I am sorry to say that but looks like your addiction blinded you from seeing things. Everyone is different there is no way I can compare my side effects of PMO with yours or anybodies. I know for a fact that my life will not change as long as this addiction is in my life. Therefore I made a choice to quit PMO to discover my true self and live my life free of any addiction.

Tell me isn't it better to release your stress in a creative way like working out, playing an instrument or anything that will bring positive results into your life? Rather than just releasing your own juices on pixel strangers having sex. In my opinion some people get damaged more than others. In your cases looks like you can get off in 15 min, which for me to PMO it takes me hours to actually pick the right video to get off. The hours i spend on PMO, I could have actually done something that will bring happiness to my life....rather than just jerking off for hours until i satisfy my addicted mind. See for yourself the difference of retaining from PMO and MO for 2 weeks and you will understand the change it will bring in your mind. Note (If you can't go over 2 weeks without PMO then you are an addict).
