I've been making strong efforts to quit PMO. I am often filled with regret. I often compare myself to others. What's worse, could all my problems in life be attributed to PMO? Are people that have had amazing academic achievements, extra-curricular activities, great social circle and relationships and promotions in jobs, is it because they never(or hardly ever) PMO? I've added a poll. Please submit your votes and/or respond to this thread with your thoughts.
No. There are plenty of successful people in this world who have viewed porn and masturbate. I have met people in the past being on this site who've been successful businessmen/women. Even in addiction, there are functioning addicts who, despite being addicted, still have successful careers and make tons of money.
OCD has ruined me in forming relationships and I blame it on PMO cause I never had severe OCD until I started PMO. Today, I still PMO and still have bad OCD.
I don't think that's fair. I suspect that lots of people who are successful are involved in masturbation and that they also view pornography.
