Will It Be Harder for Me?

The combinations of factors that will determine how easily each individual PMOer will quit are infinite. To start with, each of us has his own character, type of work, personal circumstances, timing, etc. Certain professions may make it harder than others but providing the brainwashing is removed it doesn’t have to be so. A few individual examples will help.

It tends to be particularly difficult for members of the medical profession. We think it should be easier for doctors because they are more aware of the effects of ill- health and are seeing daily evidence of it. Although this supplies more forceful reasons for stopping, it doesn’t make it any easier to do. The reasons are these:

  1. The constant awareness of the health risks creates fear which is one of the conditions under which we need to relieve our withdrawal pangs.
  2. A doctor’s work is exceedingly stressful and he is usually not able to relieve the additional stress of withdrawal pangs while he is working.
  3. He has the additional stress of guilt. He feels that he should be setting an example for the rest of the population. This puts more pressure on him and increases the feeling of deprivation.

After his hard day at work, when the stress is momentarily relieved by PMO, that session becomes wrongly attached to the relief experienced. Because of this mis-association of ideas the porn and the PMO gets credit for the total situation. It becomes very precious when he eventually quits and goes through his withdrawal pangs. This is a form of casual PMO and applies to any situation where the PMOer is forced to abstain for lengthy-periods. Under the Willpower Method the PMOer is miserable because he is being deprived. He is not enjoying the tiredness and sleep that goes after a PMO. His sense of loss is therefore greatly increased. However, if you can first remove the brainwashing and stop moping about the PMO, the break and the sleep can still be enjoyed even while the body is craving the amine transmitters - serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.

Another difficult situation is boredom, particularly when it is combined with periods of stress. Typical examples are students and single parents. The work is stressful, yet much of the work is monotonous. During an attempt to stop on the Willpower Method the single person has long periods in which to mope about his or her “loss” which increases the feeling of depression. Again this can be easily overcome if your frame of mind is correct. Do not worry that you are continually reminded that you have stopped PMOing. Use such moments to rejoice in the fact that you are ridding yourself of the evil monster.

If you have a positive frame of mind these pangs can become moments of pleasure. Remember any PMOer, regardless of age, sex, intelligence or profession, can find it easy and enjoyable to stop provided YOU FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS.
