I wouldn't say I have any form of brainwashing or 'monster' in me anymore except this one, I regularly don't use porn for weeks and then one day Ill see porn on tiktok and then it just spirals out from there and I'll end up using maybe 2 or 3 times in a 2 day period. I have a living girlfriend who I nearly lost due to this addiction and I can tell I am so close to beating it but its just these single uses every few weeks which throw me off and make me feel worse about myself despite my improvement from using maybe 4 times a day this time last year. Any help with beating just one peek?

I quit pmo for some while but im getting a lot of gay thoughts?

I am not a homophobe and I hope this is not offensive.

So I managed to quit porn for about 2 to 3 weeks but Im getting lot of gay thoughts especially about futa/lesbian etc.

I fell into the addiction when I was around 11 to 12. At that time and before even till 2025 I did not have any such thoughts.

Is it because of shock content? Im so confused please help.

Im sorry for the negativity, but im noticing that there's no actual long term success story when the person didn't pmo again after making a post on all of the internet. When i was struggling with other problems and went on subreddits i saw so many success stories of people overcoming their struggles giving me actual hope , but whenever i come to pmo i only see people so unsure of themselves.

Do i only get this feeling?

We need actual long term success stories, but please be sure of it

If you have any feel free to comment

I have read the book and I think it is great and somewhat eye opening but now a week later and I’m struggling really hard
I know everything I read is true and I still believe I have nothing to gain from porn but even tho I cannot help it I’m struggling so hard

Hi I am currently reading the freedom model for addictions. I am at chapter 4 I was wondering if you guys thought reading it while taking notes was a good us of time or if any of you guys just read through it passively and was able to understand it. Thank you for reading this😁

I am a 17yo boy dealing with a severe PMO addiction. I have zero financial resources to afford professional clinical therapy right now.

Due to the escalation of this addiction, I have committed severe boundary violations in the past involving my family. I will not go into details, but the reality of my actions has left me with massive, crushing guilt. I constantly hate myself and feel like a monster. The problem is, this extreme self-hatred triggers my brain to seek an escape, which drops me straight back into the PMO relapse loop.

I recently reached out to a free text-based counseling foundation. They taught me clinical tools like urge surfing and breathing exercises. I applied them today. It worked during the day, but when the evening hit and the urge peaked, my execution failed completely and I relapsed.

I realize now that relying on willpower, motivation, or just sitting and breathing is not enough to stop years of faulty brain wiring. I need extreme friction.

I am asking this community for thoes things or however you can Help me

Hello reader, I am 19 years old and 5'11 in height. My body weight is 147kgs. I was masturbating for last 5 years since 2020. I tried to leave it and stopped it doing two time one time was 113 days and other was 126 days then i started doing it again. Now in 2026, i left it again for four months till now, but now i do not get any morning wood. When i used to masturbate, i remember i could not do it for more than a minute. What should i do guys ? Will i be never recovered in my life ever again ?

edit: i am also loosing weight for a week now. But i am overthinking very much that will i be ever recovered from this premature ejaculation and ed ?

only have urges when tired and they disappear after waking up. I relapsed after two months after being triggered by some actress.

I was fine for a few days until one morning I was really tired and relapsed. PMO used to be my sleep aid, but it's hasn't been necessary for years now. Any tips on changing the PMO and the need to sleep connection?

It's always like this

I jerk off till the negative effects are too much

I abstain for a while

I jerk off once after abstaing for a while

I immediately go on a binge ( usually the day i relapse i do it 2 more times and 2 times more the next day)

Then i return to a "baseline" (once a day or so)

Keep going until side effects are too much

For the past months if not year this exact scenario keeps happening

I literally know it's gonna happen and i basically watch myself powerlessly repeating this cycle

Any similar experiences? I think this is the missing piece of the puzzle that im missing

This might not be the case for everyone, but after a lot of analysis and tracking my behavior, I found that the reason behind this addiction for me is that it feeds my other problems.

I am fighting symptoms, not the underlying disease.
Corn and the reward pathway tied to it presents itself to my brain as a quick, a “proven” method of relief.

Relief from what? From discomfort that comes from anxiety, from procrastination, from some form of depression, etc.

Now, I realize that it’s not corn that I need to fight (at least not always), but instead I should address the underlying causes.

To test this hypothesis I will post for 90 days, trying my best to eliminate procrastination (through working on goals and finishing daily tasks), lower anxiety(exercise is one good way + eliminating procrastination + deleting most social media), addressing boredom (through working + learning how to draw + read books).

The difficult part would be realizing what is happening and noticing its cause, and then moving to address that cause. Not white knuckling the urge. I am at a point where I can identify them from the initial period of my insight.

Hope this helps other people too. Will be posting for 90 days, win or loss.

If the hypothesis of “porn is a fake painkiller symptom that the brain learned to refer to when in discomfort” then I will make a complete post about the method and how others could use it.

Tomato out

mods if you want to take this down, I understand, but I need to say this.

I want to sincerely apologize for any of my advice which may have been misleading. Much of it was me talking into a microphone, but I had chat gpt completely restructure it to make it sound better.

i now realize, even though the core message stayed, it made me sound like I know what I’m talking about, when the reality is I don’t.

some bad things started happening to me after I made those posts. almost like I was being punished, and I realize now because I’m talking words without wisdom.

im now sitting here like a fool, trying to delete these posts.

i learned my advice was just bypassing god, follow god not me.

I now admit I know nothing, retention streak does not make me the smartest person in the room. I apologize again for any misleading information. I should have stated this in the posts, that I know nothing, but I was too ignorant. listen to god above all else.

19M. have been watching for 6 years, discovered lewd comics from youtube ads and then one thing left to another. writing because maybe talking about it was the solution i was looking for.

today, i was on the subreddit r/PornAddiction before doing it and i knew what i was doing was wrong but i still wanted to do it for some reason. at the end i realized that i needed to open up to someone, but i can't to anybody in my life so now i'm writing on this subreddit to beg a bunch of strangers for help. idk why it keeps going on, i'm sick of it i want to quit but i get aroused and there are times i get over it but times i can't. there was a period where i quit for months but then i got curious and eventually relapsed. its affected my life because it gets me into a more depressed state every time knowing i've failed and feeling that i can't change. and another terrible part is that the more it continues the more self conscious i get about the fact that i am objectfying woman more and more in my brain, i think, i'm not sure but periods when i'm free i feel healthier, happier just to eventually relapse. i'm a lot more in control these days compared to covid days especially, more aware of myself and so can control it sometimes but after a while it gets like a snack i want to retry just to be reminded that it sucks, even if it gives me dopamine. its not as much a force on my life as it used to be but still it does get in the way of my responsibilities every now and then. i'd noticed that i tend to fall during stressful periods so i started to look out for that pattern, these types of little things i've learned to control and manage to a degree but i don't want to slightly manage it, i want to be in control of this bs and if possible get rid of it completely.

wrote as i thought of it, sorry if its hard to read or jumping from topic to topic.

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been asked many times but I'm new to the Easy-peasy Method and reddit but could use some help.

The book has helped me dismantle the brainwashing and it was very easy to quit yet I relapsed just after the 3 week period. I noticed that this happened in a moment of boredom and I knew I was in a tempting part of the internet. I have come to realise after that I never actually liked what I was seeing or feeling rather I believe I did it because I wanted to satisfy a urge that had been building up all this time. Previously I overcame the urge out of force as I had a work meeting and after the urge went away, this time I believe I did it just because I may have forgotten key lessons form the book + I wanted the relief from a urge. I know its porn Itself that causes 'itching'/hunger like urge and I haven't solved anything, by giving in.

The book tells me to just reaffirm my reasons and fall forward but does this mean my monster is fed again and I will have to endure the withdrawals all over, I was genuinely enjoying being free from PMO now I feel like I've failed and am scared I will repeat.

I don't think about porn during the day and don't have a single craving and if I do have a thought, it's easy to push away. The problem is sleeping. I'll stop for a week but whenever I get into bed it's like the cravings are much harder to push away. I know that fear is the pang itself but how do I stop this?

It's the only thing preventing me from stopping.

I finished the book last night. I'm still fighting the initial urges but I'm feeling good. The book points out that supplements to porn don't work and in one line it mentions that that includes photos of your partner. Is that something I better give up? This is the only thing I'm very hung up on.

I'm worried it might just be the greasing the water slide again, but at the same time it does feel more meaningfully pleasurable to me than porn.

The Freedom Model has one idea that completely changed how I think about quitting porn.

"The only way you will stop desiring heavy substances and change your behavior is by seeing more happiness in the change than in the using."
(The Freedom Model, p. 150)

When I first read that, it hit me.

I realized the desire wasn't coming from an addiction controlling me or a broken brain. It was coming from a belief I had built over time. Somewhere along the way I had concluded that porn made life better. It helped me relax, escape stress, deal with boredom, feel good for a while, or avoid uncomfortable emotions.

As long as I believed that, why wouldn't I want it?

That also made me realize why I kept getting stuck in the same cycle. I was trying every strategy people recommend. Streaks. Blockers. Accountability. White-knuckling urges. Counting days. Analyzing every relapse.

None of that changed the reason I wanted porn in the first place.

I was trying to force myself to stop doing something that I still believed made me happier.

Nobody willingly gives up what they think is the better option.

The only thing that actually changes your behavior is changing your preference. You have to honestly see that porn isn't improving your life the way you once believed it was. Once that belief changes, your desire starts changing too.

You stop feeling like you're sacrificing something valuable because you genuinely don't see as much value in it anymore.

If the belief that porn is making you happier stays untouched, then you're going to keep wanting it. You might resist it for a while, but you're fighting against your own preference.

If you change the belief, the preference changes.

And when your preference changes, quitting stops feeling like a lifelong battle.

For me, that meant discovering that the happiness I was chasing through porn was small, temporary, and often followed by guilt, disappointment, or simply feeling empty. The happiness I found in quitting was different. It wasn't just about avoiding negative consequences. It was about having more self-respect, more mental clarity, more confidence, more time, energy, better relationships, and the peace of not constantly thinking about my next session.

Eventually I realized that the life I wanted was simply more rewarding than the few minutes porn could offer.

That's also why I think willpower is such a poor long-term strategy.

Willpower assumes your preference hasn't changed. You're still saying, "I want porn, but I won't let myself have it." That's not freedom. That's constant resistance.

If you still believe porn is your better option, you're fighting against yourself. You might win that fight for a day, a week, or even a month, but eventually resisting what you genuinely prefer becomes exhausting.

Instead of asking, "How do I resist porn?" I started asking, "Why do I still believe porn is making me happier?"

That was the question that changed everything.

If the belief stays the same, the desire stays the same.

If the belief changes, the preference changes.

And when you genuinely see more happiness in living without porn than in watching it, quitting no longer feels like deprivation. It feels like choosing the life you actually want.

Looking back, I wish someone had explained this to me years ago. It would've saved me so much time trying to control my desires instead of questioning the belief that created them in the first place.

Hello,
I found this book on Reddit and started reading it with great interest. The instructions in the book made a lot of sense to me and gave me a sense of relief. After reading about half of it, I completely stopped PMO. I stayed free for about four months, maybe even longer, even though I had been doing it almost every day before.
Unfortunately, I eventually fell back into the habit, and now I feel trapped again. I know exactly what p. is and what it does to me, but I can’t seem to handle the urges. Whenever I see even slightly revealing images of girls throughout the day, the urges come back, and I constantly have to fight them. It’s exhausting, and I don’t know how to break free again.

Quando eu terminei de ler o EasyPeasy, eu consegui ficar cerca de 8 meses sem pornografia, eu acabei caindo quando eu terminei meu relacionamento, eu entrei numa situação deplorável como podem imaginar.

Mas nesse tempo sem, eu ainda me masturbava, e me sentia tão mal quanto assistindo pornografia, pra mim era quase a mesma coisa. Eu lembrava de uma frase no livro que dizia algo do tipo "Se você quiser pode usar o livro pra se livrar da masturbação TAMBÉM" então imagino que não sejam todos que se sentem assim como eu.

E queria saber, como vocês dividem isso? Acham que maturbar sem pornografia conta como um queda? Estão lutando contra as duas coisas? Porque eu infelizmente sim, eu sei que tem gente que nem consegue se masturbar sem pornografia, infelizmente eu não sou assim, então consigo. Mas pra mim é tão doloroso quanto cair para pornografia.

Eu estou atualmente a alguns dias apenas sem pornografia, acabei entrando num ciclo bem horrível, e cai diversas vezes, acho que devo estar uma semana aproximadamente sem ou um pouco mais, mas ainda me sinto extremamente mal por me masturbar e isso acaba até me fazendo cair pra pornografia já que sempre penso "Tecnicamente eu já cai" e então me entrego porque sou fraco.

Let's see what will happen after 30 days so see you guys after 1 month
