PMO’s Pitfalls
Hello,
Dear Friends!
If you are new to our community, please read the previous four installments of the Rebooting Guide first so that you can get complete background information and necessary details about Nofap Recovery Guide.
In today’s era, many people are still confused due to misleading guidance about how harmful or harmless masturbation is. Those who advocate for the habit of masturbation, labeling themselves as life coaches, researchers, and mental health consultants, often present their body language and approach in such a magnificent and professional manner that educated individuals start trusting them. Consequently, they end up ruining their lives due to deception, as “what appears to be, sells”. These individuals meticulously promote their agenda to run their businesses and even label their false advice with a scientific tag to ensnare people. The billion-dollar porn industry has already bought such people. The result of their propaganda is that when you search the internet today, the first links that appear normalize porn and declare masturbation harmless.
Similarly, hundreds of doctors/psychologists, lured by money, are giving people such wrong advice that those who have quit masturbation fall back into it. Obviously, when these fake doctors exploit the weaknesses and desires of porn addicts, it’s easy for porn addicts to fall prey to them. And once someone finds some guidance, a porn addict falls into a pit from which they don’t get a chance to see the beautiful world outside. If they only relied on their own experiences, it would become evident how harmful porn and masturbation are for them. After masturbation, a person naturally experiences regret, stress, and mental and physical exhaustion, which sends a message that this behavior should not be repeated.
Therefore, we request such individuals not to fall for everyone’s word. Test first, then adopt the habit of believing. Your life will become much better than before, and many diseases for which you used to visit doctors will be cured automatically within a few months.
Moreover, the era of these unscrupulous researchers is now coming to an end because people are increasingly accepting the drawbacks of porn and masturbation.
Stage Pre-NoFap: The Threshold
Pre-NoFap refers to the stage before NoFap. It is also called “The Threshold” because it’s the stage where you feel enough is enough. You decide that you must end this destructive habit right here. It’s because of this decision that this stage of NoFap is called “The Threshold of Freedom.” This stage reflects the life of a porn addict. Let us tell you some facts about this stage so that you can understand the importance and necessity of NoFap.
This is the stage when you are immersed in the addiction to porn and masturbation. Porn and masturbation release a superhit of dopamine from your brain, making everything else seem boring compared to porn and masturbation. Because the dopamine released from them is almost seven times less than what is released from porn and masturbation. You’re looking for an escape from everything at Stage Zero. Whether it’s a wedding function or a party, you avoid going there. You’re so embarrassed to meet your friends that you even avoid meeting them. Because porn leads to social anxiety. It makes you feel alone even in a world filled with people. You’ll be scared to even think about marriage. Because it’s difficult for you to handle yourself, let alone a wife and kids.
“Facts about Stage Zero”
“Downsides of Porn and Masturbation”
Motivation Loss and Mental & Physical Weakness
You can’t pursue any hard work, and upon starting any task, you quickly become exhausted and sweaty. Your body starts trembling, and you feel an urgent need for rest. The electrical power in your body vanishes before you were energetic, and your body becomes as useless as a discharged battery, with constant fatigue. The lack of seminal fluid causes headaches, bone and joint pain, heart weakness, mental fatigue, and prevailing sadness. Your memory is severely affected because seminal fluid (vital energy) is the brain’s nourishment.
Bad Breath and Body Odor
A white layer forms on your tongue, and bad breath starts coming from your mouth no matter how many times you clean it. Just as a corpse emanates a smell due to the absence of life, similarly, due to the lack of seminal fluid, which is your vital energy, your body also becomes lifeless. White blood cells that fight dangerous bacteria start decreasing. Consequently, when dangerous bacteria increase in your body, they cause infections in the intestines and stomach, leading to bad breath from your mouth. When this problem escalates, a foul odor starts emanating from the body as well. The lack of seminal fluid hollows out the entire body from within.
Effects on Digestive System
Stress and depression directly affect your digestive system. Therefore, your stomach and intestines do not function properly. Similarly, the liver, spleen, and pancreas functions are also affected, causing a negative impact on digestion.
Disturbed Sleep and Associated Consequences
Your sleep patterns are severely disrupted. Due to the lack of excitement, you watch porn before sleeping, resulting in reduced sleep time and energy. As a result, your head always feels heavy, and your food doesn’t digest properly. Chronic constipation becomes a constant complaint, which can lead to many dangerous diseases.
Lack of Concentration
Your brain, concentration power, and memory are severely affected. Your work is severely impacted by the onslaught of sexual desires. And you become a victim of severe time loss. You start masturbating more than once a day, yet remain unsatisfied. This diminishes your natural balance of personality and concentration power. Your “what should I do with myself” attitude emerges even though you know what your task is.
Dizziness, Hair Loss, and Whitening
Complaints of dizziness due to excessive masturbation become common. Hair starts falling, and the skin starts whitening.
Lack of Confidence
Your entire confidence diminishes like the drainage of seminal fluid. A person loses control over themselves.
Deficiency of Minerals and Toxic Substances
Excessive masturbation leads to the depletion of minerals in the body, causing an increase in toxic substances. (Which can lead to boils and abscesses)
Impotence and Premature Ejaculation
Complaints of impotence arise, and infections occur in the genital organ.
With excessive masturbation, the disease of premature ejaculation (early release of semen) also occurs, severely affecting your marital life.
Pain in the Back and Knees
Calcium and many other valuable minerals are found in seminal fluid. Masturbation reduces their quantity in the body, leading to back and knee pain.
Premature Aging
Seminal fluid is your vital energy. Its deficiency accelerates your aging process.
Decrease in Sperm Quantity
Excessive masturbation leads to a decrease in the quantity of sperm in seminal fluid. All its minerals are depleted, and it becomes as thin as water, causing diseases like infertility.
Suicidal Thoughts
Pornography and masturbation lead to suicidal thoughts because excessive depression disrupts your natural balance.
Hatred Towards Women
Repeatedly watching porn and masturbating desensitizes you. Moreover, the scenes shown in porn become more attractive than real life. You feel that porn and masturbation are more enjoyable than anything in this world. To the extent that you prefer porn and masturbation over intimacy with your spouse because you know you can’t satisfy your partner. Consequently, you start hating the existence of women in the real world. If the wife is a victim, she starts hating men.
Loneliness and Stress
The feeling of insecurity and loneliness increases. This is a very dangerous situation. Experts say that in such a situation, chemicals are released in your body that keep your stress response constantly active. This constant activation affects your entire body. Tensed body, shoulders, and especially the stomach are severely affected.
Dull and Depressed Appearance
The brightness of your eyes, the glow of your face, the sweetness of your words, and your personality, everything is ruined.
Impatience
“Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” Pornography and masturbation give you an immediate sense of relief. Whenever a desire arises, you fulfill it by watching porn. This constant behavior creates a strange impatience in you. You become anxious about doing any work that requires patience.
Dear readers! Read these signs carefully three times so that your subconscious can understand that masturbation and porn are not beneficial for you but extremely harmful. Because until you are not aware of these losses, external motivation will not work for you. Warn your mind about the damages caused by them until you wake up from this state. In this episode, we explained Stage 0. In the next episode, we will talk about Novice’s Stage 1 (THE BEGINNERS), which lasts for 1 to 7 days and is the most difficult period of NoFap.
