    If you have the need to go and watch porn, it means that you don't have control over your sexual energy, whic is the libido. It means that you think too much about sex whic is not right. You can have sex with your partner, but to waste your time watching other people fuck is not good. Do something productive instead.

    Also, porn without masturbation can lead to addiction. Just forget about porn altogether.

    Watching porn is the bigger problem. It affects your brain more than masturbation. So yes Porn without masturbation is bad! It still releases unnatatural amounts of dopamine. Then when you combine the two it dismantles your brain by overloading it with dopamine.

    I would ask you to do a cost/benefit analysis. What would you get from watching porn versus the negative effects, which may include:
    • Possible addiction
    • Support of the exploitations of the industry
    • Unknowingly cooperating in sex trafficking when watching videos that contain trafficked persons
    • Blue balls from your system being stimulated with no release

    watching porn is bad even with no masturbation because it is changing how you perceive a female, and that is surely not good for your dating life and all those females who you have in your life presently. You may not know what happened but maybe you could possibly lose a close person because they sensed your perverted nature which you've tried to mask when around them. Watching Porn translates into how you talk and behave when around females.
    Doing masturbation alone cannot happen without fantasizing about some kind of sexually triggering thought. And if you are doing it without thinking about anything then it is simply of no use.:D There is no need of it.

    It would be OK for you only if it did nothing for you. If it turns you on, excites you in any way, then, NO, it is not OK for you.
    If it did nothing for you, you probably would not have any interest in watching it.
    Stay strong. You know what you should not do, don't do it. Enjoy your new life.

    Its pretty bad. I wouldn't do it. It'll end in a relapse.
    Ive just logged in now because about 10 mins ago on youtube I ended up watching a video. JUST A YOUTUBE VIDEO !!! To test if porn still affects me. Bloody hell did the urges rush back, had to quickly jump in a cold shower. Even though I'm about 60 odd days into PMO, 2 weeks since MO. Its pretty scary how much of hold it has on you.

    This is the way I see it. Go at least a month without PMO, then masturbate without porn or fantasy, don't go for an orgasm and work on the feeling, do that once a week

    The idea behind "rebooting" is that our sex-crazed mania is due to porn (and porn fantasy) exposure and that by eliminating porn our sex drive/desire returns to normal. It reboots. It is essential we eliminate the porn or it simply won't work.

  16. Fuck no. Watching porn is what starts the addictive cycle. Watching makes your brain pump out dopamine which is how you become addicted. Don't watch lorn.

    Pornography distracts you from the real people around you. It allows you to reanimate happy couples or attractive women posing invitingly with a point and click. It is natural to want to make people happy and be drawn to women. But in reality these people are far away and some might even be deceased. It usually does not show average looking people with healthy relationships. This can make average looking people insecure or paranoid.

    Porn in any form, even if you don't masturbate, only feeds & increases the porn addiction. Watch the Gary Wilson YouTube video "Your brain on porn"

    I feel like a porn addiction is worse than a masturbating addiction. It warps they way you view sex.
    I went from viewing porn and masturbating to straight porn at 11, eventually lesbian, then bdsm, dom, humiliation, and then eventually into gay porn. It made me want to dom and sub it made me want to experience a mans cock even though I'm not gay and don't find men attractive. It just led me to more and more disturbing stuff to get off.
    Porn by itself is damaging more so than masturbating by itself but masturbating to porn makes it rewarding leading to a deeper addiction. Just resist the urges and keep fighting. Stay strong brother.
