The Easyway to Quit Porn:

Easy and Painless, No Willpower, No Cold Showers, etc

Enjoy Quitting!

Addiction is fueled by frustration . Frustration is one of the reasons why we keep coming back, surprisingly.

Youre not fitting into the world by using, but rather youre going into your own horrible isolated world of unrealistic fantasy.

Internet porn addiction is in its infancy, and it takes scientists and doctors a while to actually realize certain things to be problems and label them as such (same thing with smoking ma ny years ago ). This explains why many people don't accept it as a n addiction despite the fact that it obviously is. There was a time where everyone thought smoking wasn't dangerous or that addictive. It's the same situation here with porn.

When enjoying something - you dont go through the process of consuming it quickly just to have another and another. If PMO were enjoyable, youd be satisfied with one video (as , if you think about it, all videos are really the same) . If it were enjoyable you wouldnt be in a frantic search for other videos, quickly going from one video to the next. That is not savoring it at all.

The p o rn industry engineers their websites to make porn even more addictive with personali z ation and recommended videos and certain forms of gamification .

Not all NoFap or willpower grou ps have bad intentions of preventing people from quitting and encouraging bad methods . They are brainwashed just like their members - to believe its hard to quit. Sure, some NoFap groups (like the subreddit) deliberately filter out mentions of Easyway and Easypeasy, but besides them, most other willpower communities are just as brainwashed as porn users are.

Something that makes you miserable cannot give you pleasure. Thus, porn cannot be enjo yable.

Courage is not the absence of fear ; its the strength to act in spite of the fear. Denying the fear makes the fear go down to the surface where you cannot challenge it because you cant see it. You must bring the fear up to the surface (by recognizing it exists), and then challenge and destroy the fear of quitting - with simple logic. You dont need to be brave or try hard to defeat fear; just use logic.

Remember: Fear, along with doubt and moping - is the reason why people using the willpower method fail.

We fear dangers that are facing us, and dangers which have a chance of facing us. For the former would be if were running from a dangerous person. The latter for example would be if were worrying about losing our jobs. The thing is as follows: quitting isnt putting you in danger at all. Quitting won't put you in danger now, and it won't put you in danger later. We only fear things intellectually or instinctively when something can put us in danger, but were in no danger at all when quitting. We are however in danger when we are using porn . Thus, there is ab solutely no reason to fear quitting, as there is no way that quitting can harm us. PLUS with this method, there is no discomfort either, so fearing quitting is completely illogical. Thus, if you have fear of quitting, just challenge the fear with the simple logic that it doesn't make sense to be afraid of it.

Even if you lie to yourself and say that internet porn is enjoyable, people have lived without it for thousands of years. How can not using it put fear into you, or make you feel like youre getting deprived of something you need, when in fact for thousands of years people have lived without it even better than youre living now?

Fear is the basis of addiction.

The mo re willpower someone has, the harder it is to get free. After all, it takes willpower to do something so stupid and harmful especially after knowing the bad effects . And also, someone with willpower will be stubborn and not accept theyre doing it the wrong way. Thus they won't recognize that willpower is wrong and easyway is right.

Remember: Desensitization, hyperfrontality, and sexual dysfunction are all great reasons to quit porn. However, don't fear these once you quit! Luckily, when you quit PMOing your brain heals from the damage! Fearing health problems also just makes it harder to quit porn, so don't fear them, as once you quit, desensitization, hyperfrontality, and sexual dysfunction will no longer be a problem.

Theres fear of failure which prevents people from trying to quit - so people fail (by PMOing whenever they get an urge) without trying because they're afraid of failing (which is obvio usly stupid and so illogical), but then theres also fear of success : fearing that life without their crutch will be pointless and dull. Thing is that life outside this prison is so much better. This prison is no security. Look forward to success and freedom with excitement.

The panic of not PMOing is caused by PMOing. One of the greatest things about freedom is that you dont have that panic anymore.

You are trading lack of control with total control by quitting your porn addiction.

PMO being your friend is an illusion. Its really your worst WORST enemy.

The small boost you get from PMOing is a mere taste of what it feels like to be completely free of PMO. Freedom wont just be a relief, but genuine pleasure and happiness.

When in doubt, think of all the great things that quitting brings. Certainly more time and better health are big advantages.

Never doubt your decision to quit EVER!

You need willpower to go through pain and hardship. However, you dont need to go through pain and hardship when it comes to addiction, since with easyway you re move any pain and hardship, thus making willpower counterproductive and useless.

Quitting only involves pain when you believe youre making a sacrifice. Hint : You're not.

The simplest of tasks can be made difficult when done with the wrong method.

Willpower hooks you more, not less.

You only need willpower when theres a tug of war between two different wills. We will make it that there is only one side of this war, making it that PMO is no longer considered pleasurable

The reason you cant really name that many PMOers is because PMOers go to great lengths to hide their addictions.

Ignore the advice of anyone using willpower method.

The only reason you fail is because youre not using the right method.

Addiction is not the fault of the addict. Its the fault of the addictive substance and society.

The addictive personality thing is a stupid excuse for saying that quitting is hard. Thinking that it's a dise ase is also a stupid excuse.

Addicts like being close by to other addicts since other addicts wont judge or challenge your bad behavior .

When you see through an illusion, you cant be fooled again. You're about to see th rough the illusion that porn is enjoyable, and afterwards, it'll basically be impossible to ever watch it again!

Knowing that something is bad for you only make it harder to quit.

When your brain feels fried and youre in physical pain from things like chafing, do you stop PMOing? No, you dont. Even when you dont feel pleasure, the brainwashing still exists that porn is pleasurable.

What drives people to PMO? Boredom (What else is there to do? Itll get rid of my boredom), Sorrow (Im sure some porn will cheer me up), Stress (Itll help me forget about my worries), Routine (Its just what I do everyday), Reward (I deserve it since Ive been working hard and I need a boost), and Opportunity (Im alone so I can do it now, or any form of opportunity. Opportunity is the biggest killer)
