Question
Is watching porn without masturbating relapsing?
Imagine if I said I wanted to stop drinking alcohol , but I’m going to go to the bar and just not drink. Does that sound like a smart plan???? Why even tell yourself like that
Like for the alcoholic, the first drink does the damage not the twentieth one and crashing the car or getting beaten up, he never would have got to that point if he didn’t take the first drink, we “drink” through our eyes by watching porn
Doesn’t end well in my experience, your probably on the way to relapse if you are watching porn. The thrill is in the watching and searching “lusting” basically, PMO is just what happens at the end, as Matt said the dopamine comes from watching it
Yes, you’re supposed to not be getting the dopamine release that watching porn gives you.
100% yes, you’re just straight rotting your brain at that point
