The Easy Peasy Way to Understand the

Easy Peasy Method

Version 1

By Arcane/Lance
 Hey all.

I’ve been spending a lot of time sharing my findings in my recovery from porn addiction

using the Easy Peasy method in disorganized messages scattered about the subreddit and discord

server. It would save me and you a lot of time if I compiled my findings into one comprehensive

document, where I can flesh out the details of these findings fully.
 The key here is mindfulness, and what you’re about to read is the culmination of my own

thoughts and experiences, as well as the thoughts of others which are immensely useful in

quitting. On the odd chance that you haven’t read Easy Peasy yet, do it now, you’ll love yourself

for it later.

Why is Nobody Else Using Easy Peasy If It’s That Easy?

Sister Kenny

Allen Carr talks in his books about the film Sister Kenny. In case you haven't, it was

about the time when infantile paralysis or polio was the scourge of our children. Polio

engendered the same fear as the word cancer does today. The effect of polio was not only to

paralyze the legs and arms but to distort the limbs. The established medical treatment was to put

those limbs in irons and thus prevent the distortion. The result was paralysis for life.

Sister Kenny believed the irons inhibited recovery and proved a thousand times over that the

muscles could be re-educated so that the child could walk again. However, Sister Kenny wasn't a

doctor, she was merely a nurse. How dare she dabble in a province that was confined to qualified

doctors? It didn't seem to matter that Sister Kenny had found the solution to the problem and had

proved her solution to be effective. The children that were treated by Sister Kenny knew she was

right, so did their parents, yet the established medical profession not only refused to adopt her

methods but actually prevented her from practicing. It took Sister Kenny twenty years before the

medical profession would accept the obvious.

 The film was very interesting and no doubt there was an element of truth. However, it was

equally obvious that Hollywood had used a large portion of poetic license. Sister Kenny couldn't

possibly have discovered something that the combined knowledge of medical science had failed

to discover. Surely the established medical specialists weren't the dinosaurs they were being

portrayed as? How could it possibly have taken them twenty years to accept the facts that were

staring them in the face?

They say that fact is stranger than fiction, I apologize for accusing the makers of Sister Kenny

for using poetic license. Even in this so-called enlightened age of modern communications, even

having access to the same, it is difficult to get the message across.

The only reason that you are reading this hook is because another ex-porn user has

recommended it to you. Remember, I don't have the massive financial power of popular and big

institutions. Like Sister Kenny, I'm a lone individual. Like her. Allen Carr is only famous

because his system works. His Method is already regarded as the number-one Method on helping

people to quit. Like Sister Kenny, he has proved his point. What good did that do if the rest of

the world was still adopting procedures which were the direct opposite to what they should be?

The last sentence of this book is identical to that in the original manuscript: ‘There is a wind of

change in society, A snowball has started that I hope this book will help turn into an avalanche'.

From my remarks above, you might have drawn the conclusion that I am no respecter of the

medical profession. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of Allen Carr’s sons is a doctor
and I know of no finer profession. Indeed Allen’s clinics receive more recommendations from

doctors than from any other source, and surprisingly, more of his clients come from the medical

profession than any other single profession.

In the early years, Allen Carr was generally regarded by the doctors as being somewhere

between a charlatan and a quack. Allen is no more and his clinics don’t provide services for porn

sufferers, probably due to non coverage by insurance companies. I would not know. But I can

tell you that this Method works. If you have doubts please do keep them but give this hackbook a

try. It will give you all the numbers to the combination lock. But it is important that you use the

chapter numbers in the right order. You must follow the flow by going chapter to chapter and

must not jump for any reasons. And you don’t need to cut down or stop using porn while you are

reading this book. Yes, you don't need to.

Since many forum writers confuse sex and eroticism with internet porn they haven't a clue

about helping addicts to quit. Some tell what PMOers already know: porn is unhealthy and

self-defeating. It never seems to occur to them that PMOers do not use PMO for the reasons that

they shouldn't use. The real problem is to remove the reasons they have to use porn.

A Free Book? How?

“i have this medical issue which i went to urologists about and specialists and the only

thing that worked for me, and it seems 90% of the people who go through treatment is this niche

workout method designed by a bunch of guys who've made it into a sort of company thing. then

porn addiction.. easypeasy is the only thing thats helped... something so obscure on the global

nofap/anti porn talk forums. its weird how things are like that” -Dean94
 “I really like the main message of the book: you're not being deprived of anything by

quitting. I also like that the book is against the "moderation" bullshit. I actually switching to just

watching r34 and hentai for months by justifying to myself that it's "not as bad" as porn. I also

justified to myself that I only watch porn about once per week. (In reality, it's been everyday,

sometimes multiple times per day) No more. I quit. I really like the main message of the book:

you're not being deprived of anything by quitting. I also like that the book is against the

"moderation" bullshit. I actually switched to just watching r34 and hentai for months by

justifying to myself that it's "not as bad" as porn. I also justified to myself that I only watch porn

about once per week. (In reality, it's been everyday, sometimes multiple times per day) No more.

I quit.” -Discord anon

“(maybe this values for a US citizen it's not so much money, but for a Brazillian citizen

like me it's expensive)

I:

- Bought a 300$ course (1 month salary when I bought it)

- Paid a 175$ mentoring call

- Bought another course for 150$

- Read 3 books on the theme

- Spent hours on yourbrainonporn and r/nofap and other forums consuming content

- /\ After all this I still was trapped and relapsed 3 times per week.
What got me free? A free small book

That's why it's hard to believe, the deeper you are into the brainwash of the other methods the

harder it becomes to believe that it's easy” -u/OyaPunpun

“Before finding this book, I was spending money on any resource and tool available that would

help me quit porn. I must have spent hundreds of pounds on such bullshit.

The last pickup artists book specifically suggested the use of willpower method. Thank god I was

reading the Hackbook at the same time so I didn't waste any time.

If I spent all my money and time on those and couldn't quit, I am certain no one can quit with

those.

But with this Hackbook, I became free!

So my view: Fuck those blood sucking bastards!” -u/samdern

“My doctor said masturbation is healthy and normal!”

As for the American medical industry, the porn addiction epidemic is an absolute money

machine for them. Testosterone supplements for people who just can’t seem to retain their

semen, gender reassignment surgery solely under the misguided notion that watching a certain

kind of porn means that you must build your life around that porn. Plastic surgery and breast

implants for women hopelessly trying to compete against online harems for male attention.
 Not sure whether this is controversial or cliché, but why would the medical industry

which profits off of sick people want people to never be sick? Then they’d have no business! So,

feed them clever lies in detrimental health advice coated in small truths to make the lies

palatable. E.g. “Masturbation is healthy.” Surely there’s nothing inherently ​wrong​ with

masturbation but notice how porn is cleverly left out of the equation. There’s big money to be

made from people with STDs, and other infections and diseases coming from risky sexual

behavior, or sexual dysfunctions. Many of these issues can be traced back to porn within reason.

It’s banned on NoFap and softbanned on Pornfree. The book goes against everything

NoFap stands for. Abstaining from porn for limited periods of time through self-torture. The

book is an act of eternal self-love in not using porn. Not to mention it ​actually works​ and if word

got out, ​there wouldn’t need to be a NoFap​.

If You Are Quitting For Religious Reasons…

It’s important not to wait for external forces to improve your life. Change comes within.

Find your “god” within yourself. Religion should not be used as justification for complacency.

The bible/torah/quran were written thousands of years ago and couldn’t possibly have foreseen

porn addiction. This is very much a new beast, and this new beast needs a new solution. Hence,

Easy Peasy and my notes.

Use = Use (porn)

 When I say use, I usually am referring to using porn. As porn is an addictive substance

and should be treated as such.

1.My Success Story and Testimony

To understand what I’ve learned in my journey, let me first give an overview of my

journey to where I am today.

Disclaimer: This is not designed to shock you, this is my true story about the slide into

addiction. It’s likely you experienced a lot of the same issues as I did. I am sharing my story to

show where exactly I made the connections to the truths stated in Easy Peasy, so that you may

find it easier to do the same for yourself. With that in mind, here’s my journey and my findings.

Easy Peasy is very much rooted in repetition, so expect to hear similar statements

paraphrased differently (Many from the original Hackbook) to help more people understand

them and you to understand them better. The method is simple, but different metaphors will click

better with different people.

Dread Intrusion

I was stuck in the PMO trap for 8 miserable years of my life. I was only 10 years old

when I first discovered internet porn. At no point in my addiction did I enjoy myself even in the

slightest. For the first time in my life, I felt true shame, like I had something to hide.

Compartmentalization of such a detrimental habit was difficult in itself. These are the black

shadows, mentioned in the hackbook. Merely trying to hide my use was enough stress. It didn’t

help that the ritual itself caused stress and immense discomfort in its wake.
 That poor kid didn’t even want to use, but with the big monster telling him it was

enjoyable and normal in the trap, and the Little Monster pushing him into it, he was helpless.

“What would my grandfather think of me as he looked down upon me from the afterlife?” I

immediately thought to myself after finishing that first session.

The shame was too great, and I hoped and prayed that each session that followed would

be my last, the one to end it all. Alas, salvation never came. No matter how far I ran down the

porn rabbit hole. Nothing but shame and misery I would find. ​This is because internet porn

does not provide sexual gratification ​as I would come to find. This is self-evident, as no matter

how much you use, you are always left wanting more. That promised land of enjoyment in porn,

never coming, as it doesn’t exist. That’s the biggest porn industry lie of them all.

That feeling of shame would only repeat indefinitely with escalations into more and more

genres of novelty and shock value, until I would go on to break the chains of addiction. It

wouldn’t be long after that before my first experience with escalation, to a “worse” genre. It

caused me just as much if not more shame than my first viewing, and led me to ​seriously

question my sexuality.​ ​AT TEN YEARS OLD​!!!

Birth of The Little Monster

I recall a time where I was in the car with my mother, I came to tears trying to explain to

her the mental tug of war I was going through in the abstract sense. “There’s two parts of me,

one of them wants to do bad things and one of them wants to do good things.” I said while

sobbing. Enter the Little Monster.

 Genre Theory

I could perfectly explain each genre I escalated to without any shame, but that’s not

productive. As Hackauthor^2 said, it’s important to eliminate the concept of genres from your

mind. So for that sake, I won’t specify which. I could sit here for the rest of my life explaining to

you which genres I escalated to, and brag about what I didn’t escalate to before getting out of the

trap, but that’s not a bragging matter. ​There is nothing that a user wouldn’t have escalated to

while in the PMO trap​, given enough time.

As for my own meditations on the subject, it’s crucial to eliminate the concept of genres,

because the idea of genres leads to the good porn bad porn mentality, which leads to bargaining,

which leads to “just one peek” at a “good genre” which leads to the addiction trap and so on.

Embed this firmly in your mind. ​There is no such thing as good porn​.

The cycle I elaborated upon above would repeat for years. Over time, I slowly became

more and more miserable and deprived with my everyday life. My mother and sister commented

that once I started attending online school, where I inevitably had more time to slide further

down the trap, I became like a zombie, or was on autopilot mode all the time. The only highs and

lows of my life were determined by my porn use. On the note of highs and lows, the only highs

of my life, in fact, was the small period of no more than 30 minutes to one hour per day where I

felt like I didn’t have to use. Not much of a high at all actually, much more like a lack of low.

Enjoyment? Where?

Wait, even that isn’t true! I was always left feeling low afterwards! ​There is no

enjoyable part of the PMO process, or that of being a user​! I implore you, please, do tell me

when it gets good. Find me ​one, single​ instance where someone is happier or feels better while
they are using. No, I’m dead serious. When does it get good? When is it enjoyable? Genuinely

ask yourself this question. Let me break it down into steps. The dopamine rush comes from

booting up because you anticipate some immense pleasure and euphoria in the act. You do the

deed ​as fast as humanly possible​, (because I thought I had to.) or at least I ​did​ to try and get it

over with as soon as possible so that I could be glad that it’s over, for that small window of time,

if at all.

Of course there is the user who edges for hours. Surely it must be because they enjoy it,

correct? This is only a part of the endless desperate search of enjoyment in the PMO trap. Think

about it. They only continue self-torturing because it causes even greater relief when the torture

ends. It’s only like wearing tight shoes for a longer period of time for an even greater relief upon

taking them off due to the compounded pain all seemingly leaving at the same time.

Still don’t believe me? Watch the video coomer.mp4, and tell me at what point of the

process is he happy? The orgasm? He is in pain and coughing. You mean when he is happy that

he doesn’t need to use anymore? Let’s see. He reaches orgasm at 1:45 and by 2:45 he

immediately pauses and decides that “A little coom first wouldn’t hurt. One minute. One minute,

during which the (exceedingly painful) orgasm is still taking place for some of it, he feels that he

doesn’t have to use. Is this even exaggeration? I have had instances where I didn’t even stop

viewing after that point because I was still looking for the happiness in it. “That’s it?” is what

goes through your brain subconsciously.

Dream Theater Shill Part I: The Miracle And The Sleeper

There's a song called Octavarium by Dream Theater. It's about a comatose patient trying

to regain consciousness. Some of the lyrics in the song are “To live each day just like the last.”

and “This story ends where it began.” When listening to it after a year or so of online school and
living my entire life for about a year solely on the internet; without knowing the meaning of the

lyrics beforehand, I connected it to my own life and how I lived. I was barely even conscious

myself. I was moving in circles. My life as a deprived user was a vicious cycle. I wasn’t just

trapped inside an “Octavarium” however, I was trapped in the cycle!

Stockholm Syndrome

As I continued down the trap, and my human social interaction nearly non-existent, I

constantly searched for a superficial out. I eventually ended up slowly descending into the

Tulpa/Waifu thing as a noteworthy escalation.​ Whereas most users marry porn figuratively, I

did it literally​. I hadn’t seen my real life friends in months at that point, and I isolated myself

from them in favor of my fantasies.

Compartmentalization Kills

Compartmentalization became harder and harder as time went on. I eventually told them

about this thing, and it caused a schism in our friend group, as well as the escalations of other

open users in our group, and I was dropped by them for this. This led me to becoming extremely

anti-social for 2 and half more years. Every friend I had was online at that point.

Superficial Life

I even went to a really nice tight-knight school of around 1500 people (which I loved). I

was invited to a hiking club, every teacher and peer made attempts to get to know me better, but

I didn’t take these interactions anywhere. The person I considered to be my best friend was

someone I met on steam who lived 9000 miles away from me in another hemisphere. We were
both depressed porn addicts so we got along quite nicely for many years. A good guy to be sure,

but if I took the time spent sending him over 40,000 messages on discord, I could have at least

sent 26 messages to each of my student peers at that school, and I guarantee you I would have

made at least one real life friend at that school. Or you know, I could have talked to them in real

life with all of that time.

I was content having my only friends be online, and all my free time spent playing World

of Warcraft. I remember envying those who were able to spend upwards of 120 days in game

over the course of just 2 years. I spent 85+ days of my life over 2 years playing World of

Warcraft. And they considered me a casual player. It was the rat race to see who could waste

more of their time into trying to achieve false goals.

Just Once a Week!

There was a period of one year where I lived in a cramped house where I was only able to

have the privacy to use about once a week. I cited this as one of the happier points in my life

before freeing myself of addiction, because I was only overloading on dopamine 1/7th the

amount I was previously able to. Do not mistake my intent, however. This may seem to be the

ideal situation for brainwashed users who believe that following a once a week porn diet can be

enjoyable. I actually didn’t have the time to do it because I was so preoccupied with other things

like school and family activities. PMO only caused these activities to be more stressful because

at all times I was carefully calculating my next session so I could run off and use as quickly as I

could, rushing through genuinely enjoyable activities to do something miserable. This wasn’t

actually a step forward because as soon as I had the space I needed to use daily again, I began

doing just that. In fact, my use was even more than it had been before that period of a year, so
that I could catch up on all the pinned enjoyment. Alas, I found no such enjoyment, and just fell

into an even more depressive rut. This memory does help me solidify in my head from my own

experiences that: ​If the criterion is less, then the accolade should be none at all. ​Roughly

paraphrased: If less is more enjoyable, then none at all should be ecstatic. Evidently, it is.

Never Again

Jumping forward to the end of 2019. I had just turned 18. My birthday wish? To never

have to use porn ever again. A part of becoming an adult I thought. That didn’t last very long

after making the wish, because I didn’t understand the nature of the PMO trap. It did eventually

come true though, less than a year later. Thank you Hackauthor^2.

A Cruel Reality

The coomer meme is in about a month after making that wish, and I find hilarity in the

relatability and reality of the gag. “Am I a coomer?” I ask myself. I bargain with myself as all

addicts do, and eventually come to the conclusion that I wasn’t. But I certainly was and I knew

that deep down inside. Hackauthor says the coomer meme is the best meme. I and many others

agree with him. One person said “Coomer.mp4 is epic. That like, solid month or so of coomer

memes on 4chan last year was what got me started on trying to kick my porn addiction.” This

happened to me and many others as well.

At Least I’m Not Watching Porn

Right around New Years I went on vacation from that same cramped house back into a

more quiet house. The thing is, I had family that I hadn’t seen for well over a year visiting on
that vacation. I instead chose to spend my time MOing every morning and night that trip, to porn

induced fantasies, with a substitute in roleplay, and a huge spike in novelty and shock value. I

remember specifically leaving the room after hours of edging, only to find out that my siblings

were hanging out in the living room watching the End of Evangelion, and I missed out on some

of it because I had “better” things to be doing. Quite ironically, I was doing that during the

infamous opening scene of the End of Evangelion. I felt awful after that, and for the rest of the

trip, and my life for the next 5 months, I would self-loathe over my choices frequently. I would

apologize to my family repeatedly for not being present, and they would sympathize, saying “We

understand you were just tired from all the stress.” My heart sank every time I heard them buy

into my excuse. I almost wanted them to incriminate what I would come to know as the Little

Monster in me. That stress was caused by the constant ejaculation on that trip, not relieved by it!

I went into 2020 with vindication in my cause to end this misery once and for all. My

New Year’s wish: to never use porn again. For the first month of 2020, I didn’t use porn, but I

frequently engaged in the same substitute I wasted all that time on vacation with. I saw this as

progress, but ​how can you possibly cure addiction to a drug by using the same drug​?

Iron Will

In March of 2020, I made a throwaway on NoFap (now deleted) where I complained

about the so-called blue balls from not masturbating (myth) where I would swiftly have “just one

peek” at “not porn” to cure the discomfort I presumed to be caused by not using porn which was

caused by using in the first place, and only worsened by using. Of course I totally peeked with

the intent of a porn user, even if it was just softcore ogling. That’s how I learned about the
danger of just one peek, the hard way. ​Remember that it was just one peek that got you

hooked in the first place​.

I would have a few fleeting attempts at controlling this addiction with sheer willpower.

All brainwashed beliefs still in place. The attempts were futile, such is the willpower method. If

you want to use the drug, it’s in your pocket, you will use, unless you remove the desire to use

by understanding the truth about porn.

Teachers’ Insight

My english teacher in senior year was obviously playing devil’s advocate here, but he did

end up saying something along the line of. “Internet Porn is just a normal part of human sexual

development.” At the moment I was quietly furious, but I know he was just trying to incite

discussion about controversial societal injustices such as the porn addiction epidemic.

My favorite statistic on porn, came from my economics teacher (also in senior year). “If

you took all of the porn on the internet, and stretched it out across a timeline, it would outlast the

entirety of human history until this point in time.” I was speechless as I sat there in class. But

what was I supposed to do about it?! I thought to myself. I would find out in just about 3 months.

Consumerism, Ho!

In April it was corona season, and I was in a depressive rut, where I would spend ​entire

days​ laying in bed between PMO sessions, mindlessly scrolling through Twitter, 4chan,

YouTube, and Discord, for an accumulated screen time of 7 hours per day in that last dreadful

week. Not counting the time I played on my Nintendo Switch in bed as well.
 At some point in the day, I was on /fit/, and found a post about relapse during quarantine.

I sympathized obviously, and decided to click on it. One person in the replies linked

pmohackbook.org. I immediately bookmarked it and saved it upon reading the preface. Within

2-3 days I had read the whole book, and went on a hike to think about it before my final session.

Get Me Out Of Here.

I had my final session with the “best” porn I could think of, which led to a feeling of

elation afterwards, but the good porn bad porn belief led to a tinge of melancholy that would set

the tone for my MO within 2 weeks, following a caffeine withdrawal interestingly, bargaining

with myself that ​I had quit porn, not masturbation​. The Little Monster said to me in the act.

“Don’t worry, the porn will come.” I did not heed his warning seriously, and sure enough it did,

2 weeks after that. Suddenly I was back in the PMO trap, and out of desperation, speedread the

book again, absorbing none of the message. Within hours I relapsed and binged. And for a few

weeks I felt pretty close to the way I did back in April. Clearly there was some flaw. Not in my

mentality, but in my mentality, but I had similar experiences several times, where I would come

home after a long hike, during which I would consume caffeine. I would come down from the

caffeine when I came home, and then I would MO. This happened over three times. ​I would

strongly advise against using other substances that may leave your body in an

uncomfortable withdrawal state​, as it could very well interfere with your recovery. In my

experience, I would find myself left in a pang, caused by the caffeine I consumed, but my body

and mind would see this deprived feeling as a need to use porn. Remember Easy Peasy ​won’t

cause you to replace this addiction with other addictions​, such as overeating, smoking or

drinking. I’ve since sworn off caffeine, as it does nought but make me feel exhausted.
 The Little Monster had one last trick up his sleeve, one last hurrah. He took me to /soc/,

under the guise that I was just trying to make friends. The Little Monster was getting funny ideas

however. I became growingly discontent and aware of the self-sabotage I was taking part in. I

decided I was going to make a calculated escape, and escape this filthy ritual once and for all.

And I had the tools to do it, with Easy Peasy and my own mindfulness in the matter.

My mindset going in was essentially to ​take the ideas of Easy Peasy, and replace all

instances of porn with masturbation, and PMO with MO​. Because in my case, MO led me

into the PMO trap. This is where I filled in the blanks left by Easy Peasy.

The first thing I would come to do is ​divorce the phone in bed​. It was destroying my

ability to sleep, my ability to get out of bed, and my ability to be mindful.

Now we all know that humans hate doing what they perceive as absolutely nothing. We

want to be as efficient as possible. Therefore, why not spend every waking second of your free

time consuming media?

For the first time in years I found myself able to get a full night’s worth of sleep,

uninterrupted by the desperate reach for my smartphone in the middle of the night keeping me

awake.

I would reread the hackbook slowly, one chapter per day​. I applied the mentality of

the book The Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen (Improving a small percentage steadily on a daily basis.)

which was incorporated into my high school’s curriculum, but instead of cutting down, because

cutting down isn't an improvement as you’re still taking the same drug, I would apply that to the

betterment of my mentality. My ​mentality​ would improve slowly each day, and I would become

better off physically and mentally each day with my freedom.

 Filling in the blanks left by Easy Peasy was key here​. Taking what is said in the book

and applying it on a broader scale was key here. In my recovery process, I knew it was essential

for me to identify MO as having no benefit, and causing me to slip. Doing that took a bit of

working with myself. Here’s an example of what I did exactly.

Masturbation isn't a detriment, but it also has no real benefit and semen retention just

feels better. I also identified it as part of the trap in my mind, as it was in my case. The Little

Monster used it to get his dopamine fix. Chasing dopamine for me, in turn led to more

dopamine-seeking behaviours as I became evermore resistant to the doses of it. That’s how I

ended up relapsing the first time.

MO is just that, two of the three components of the PMO trap. Depending on which way

you look at it, the effects of MO should vary slightly from user to user. At the end of the day

though there really is no benefit to MO either. The O just makes you groggy and fogs up your

brain in all honesty.

Trial By Fire/Final Session?

Interestingly, when browsing 4chan and passing through the immense amount of porn

and porn ads on there, I never once got aroused or wanted to look at it. I just automatically

averted my eyes. This was proof for me that I didn’t want to use. Essentially a stand in for what

the final session should be, seeing the trap for what it is. When I noticed this, I knew that I was

free. Even when presented with it unwillingly it didn't change me. I saw the trap for what it was

and knowing it was there in the corner of my eyes before scrolling past it only solidified my

decision. It was nothing but filth. When you make the positive decision to be free, it is final and
you are happy with it. There was no will in me to use. An inverse of the perceived situation.​ It

would take me much willpower to convince myself to endure such self-torture​. I’m not

walking on ice, I’m walking on cement and have no reason to willingly walk on ice.

Happy Non-User

It’s funny, while rereading slowly each day, I didn’t even want to use, it was just to make

sure I fully understood. I did not limit my usage while reading with willpower, however at no

point during ​this​ reread did I feel that I had even wanted to use. Admittedly, daily reading

became every other day around page 25, and at about page 50, I stopped completely because I

didn’t even want to use, and other things occupied my mind at that point. ​I don’t even

remember the last time I PMOed​. That’s how completely and utterly worthless the act is.

Whenever I was confronted with porn industry propaganda, I was armed with the

information I needed to dispel it on the spot, emotionally certain that it wasn’t what I wanted to

do down in my heart. And I had vindication in not using because each day I felt better. Each day

wasn’t a battle, but a blessing, to be free from having to partake in this filthy ritual. It’s not just a

disturbing fact of life. I don’t have to use porn. I don’t even want to use anymore, and I feel

better having quit.

I would go on to firstly, play a ton of video games out of my backlog. I felt like I had

recaptured that childhood awe and wonder, as if I had been born again. Even the most frivolous,

menial tasks were enjoyable in my freedom. The possibilities were endless. Freedom itself was

enjoyable, and it was fun to catch up on all my missed years of childhood, but I had better goals

in mind. I can do better than this I thought. So after a few weeks I got a full time job, started

exercising, reading, learning how to cook, and eventually bake.

 There was a tinge of obsession stuck in my mind a few weeks in, where I'd ask myself

how long it had been every once in a while, and I would retort with, "I'm free for the rest of my

life." Sure enough, I am. By the time the famed month and 90 day reboot came around, I hardly

felt different from I had the day before, and my thoughts honestly amounted to little more than,

"It's already been that long?"

I can hardly imagine now how awful I would feel if I had to deal with the stress of porn

on top of the stresses of daily life. That and the endless tug of war with myself I had to endure to

not cross the red line with “worse” genres. As if all porn wasn’t awful.

You never know when to give up, do you?

I would have a few run-ins with the Little Monster however. And you will too until he is

starved to death. Fret not, as he is not a birth defect, and he is not inseparable from you. The

phrasing Little Monster seems childish, but it makes all too much sense. He has embedded

himself into your mind. He feeds off the mental tug of war you play with yourself. You needn’t

have a war with yourself to stop yourself from taking a societally acknowledged poison such as

cyanide, so why would you need to do so for a poison of the mind and body such as porn? I still

fail to exaggerate here even in the slightest.

First run-in. I was talking to an old (online) friend. I quite literally just mentioned the

name of a female video game character, and his response was “You’ll awaken things inside me.”

At first, I thought of the things he was talking about, the porn. I started doubting myself slightly,

but then I put it into a more truthful perspective. My honest and very judgemental thoughts were,

“At what point can you not even hear the name of a female fictional character without wanting to

use porn?” I didn’t say it, but it solidified my decision to quit, and was a pivotal moment in my
recovery where I decided to pity, not envy the user. This guy must be a miserable user if he

thinks like that!

Second run-in. Was laying awake in bed, left alone to my thoughts. I remembered

someone I had a crush on for a while. I had sexual thoughts, but I let them come as they weren’t

porn thoughts. I explored them fully and there wasn’t much there. I could have MOed right there.

But I remembered what happened last time I did that, and how it led to my relapse. I thought to

myself that it wasn’t really worth it and probably wouldn’t even feel good anyways. This is the

moment that solidified my choice to not MO.

Third run-in. The night after I went on a date, I was fairly satisfied with what we ended

up doing. A fun experience, nothing sexual at all. There may have been a sliver of porn brain left

in me at that point, and the Little Monster was crying. “That’s it? No sex?” He demanded

propagative sex with this person. At this point it was so out of line with my line of thinking that I

was certain it was just the Little Monster clawing for a fix. This is when the Little Monster’s true

intent was shown, and once I understood it, I left /soc/.

The Emotional Key

I would continue to be a happy non-user, but was shocked by a nighttime emission days

later, following many recurring nightmares of relapse. My conscious mind understood, but

getting it into my subconscious would take more contemplation​.

After this, I did the mentoring with Celibate Yogi. Before I had coaching with Celibate

Yogi, I was having recurring nightmares of relapse, and sleep emissions. I was certain I was free

of the PMO trap for life in my conscious mind, but my subconscious was telling me otherwise. I

was letting it get to me and through my interview with Celibate Yogi, I was able to get that last
bit of reassurance I needed to overcome my mental blocks. I have not had a nightmare of relapse

or an emission since. I can mostly attribute this to overcoming that last bit of rational doubt in

me, which freed my subconscious mind in turn.

Not that having a night time emission or facing the Little Monster would change anything

considering what I know now. It’s that idea that has rid me of the fear that fed those things to

keep them alive.

Burying The Hatchet

At this point, I’m confident I’ve escaped the trap. Each day is a blessing, I’m no longer

engaging in substitutes, and I followed every instruction in the book and there’s only one thing

left to do. Share my story.

So, I came out and shared my story with some very old friends who I had harmed/lost in

my addiction. They were accepting and helped spread the message even further, some of my

friends even came around and decided to read for themselves, users and non-users alike. I then

came out and shared my story with my siblings and my parents. Coming out and sharing my

story was difficult because of the shame aspect, but shame is a big proponent of addiction, so I

cast away my shame, as this issue is certainly not unique to me. I compartmentalized my

addiction for long enough out of fear. I won’t let this secret die in darkness. I’ll be among the

first to come out and share their recovery openly, so hopefully others will inquire and follow suit,

and we can put an end to the scandal for good.

Burying the hatchet is a very powerful experience. It helped me immensely in casting

away my shame, moving forward in my practice, and I even rekindled very old friendships in the

process. Not everyone took too kindly to my ideas, however. Friends and acquaintances who
identified themselves with their porn use were quick to distance themselves from me, and were

the first to go. Sharing my positive changes and ideas with people was a really great way to find

out who my real friends were, however. You may wish to do the same yourself, but it is by no

means necessary. Just a great experience that I have zero regrets in doing.

2.Takeaway Points and Personal Findings

Quitting Porn is not hard, but dispelling societal brainwashing that has been brute forced

into our heads IS hard. Once you get over that hurdle, Easy Peasy truly is what the preface and

title sell it as. Just that.

This is also why the willpower method doesn’t work. Your own sheer brute force

willpower cannot even begin to sway that of the will of thousands of corporations and

governments beating down on you with propaganda. That’s why Easy Peasy works. It disarms

the trap and exposes it for what it really is. I find myself constantly analyzing and dispelling

brainwashing as it comes to me

Divorce the Smartphone in Bed

"Do not keep your laptop next to you while you sleep." Add smartphones to this list as

well, they serve almost the same purpose. This has helped me immensely. This may seem to go

against the idea of eliminating the concepts of triggers and genres from your mind, but where do

you draw the line between a trigger and an​ invitation?​ Laying in bed scrolling mindlessly

through social media is a cordial invitation for the Little Monster to say "Why not use?" Not to
mention that laying in bed on a smartphone is the position that most users take while using. The

bed phone routine is a 'perfect' complement to the exhausting activity that is PMO as well. Not

only does this not give you room to literally get shot with my pants down by the Little Monster,

but will also help you get a good night’s sleep, for once. This also improves mental clarity. It’s

hard to dispel brainwashing and build good habits if you’re sleep deprived and mentally

exhausted as a result! If you have to wake up to an alarm, it’s better to leave your phone out of

arm's reach at night, so that you ​actually have to wake up​ to your alarm.

having phone to provide entertainment while you lay in bed? why would you ever

want to leave bed? That would take willpower. “I'm all comfy in my bed watching videos, why

should I leave?” Take the phone out of the bed, and suddenly, getting out of bed becomes the

better option because then you can... do things! Productivity is a big concern of yours no? It's

more productive to rest your eyes in bed, to have more energy to tackle the day's tasks. Rather

than to blast your face with blue light the second you gain consciousness, exhausting your eyes

The MO Trap/Semen Retention

As a user, there were times where I would MO to porn-induced fantasies when porn was

unavailable or otherwise. Whether you like it or not, masturbating to porn does take a modicum

of imagination, and you imagine the same things when masturbating to porn-induced fantasies as

you would when watching porn. ​Masturbating to porn-induced fantasies in lieu of

masturbating to porn perpetuates the trap by creating an even bigger desire to use​.

If you forcefully took away porn from the coomer, he’d still be cooming. Cooming is still

what he sees as life’s only pleasure. Because he is a ​compulsive masturbator​, and while the

issue is greater now because of it, compulsive masturbators can exist without porn.
 Virtually every user who seems to fall back into the PMO trap began first with MO. It

wasn’t until I got it clear in my head that it was almost chemically the same and left me with the

same feelings of deprivation that I was able to truly get my head out of the sand and move on

with my life. Semen retention is just the more enjoyable way to live.

Catastrophizing

There’s a video that can explain this better than me.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4pP6HyXRMI)

TLDR One thing only leads to another if you let it. Likewise don’t let one slip be the

impetus for defeatism. Obviously don’t use this as an excuse to PMO, because with that mindset

one thing will inevitably lead to another and so on.

Defeatism

“I’ve relapsed before, guess I’ll just keep relapsing.” You may have relapsed and felt

defeated. Don’t be ashamed. Take notes. Track your thought process and be wholeheartedly

honest about yourself and your reasons for using. Mindfulness is key here. You wouldn’t engage

in the act if you didn’t have a reason for doing so. Find out what these reasons are and debunk

them. One book cannot possibly cover every reason for using. We got most thankfully, but a key

skill I acquired through a minute amount of mindfulness was the ability to fill in the blanks left

by Easy Peasy. E.G. Applying the concepts in the book to cover MO, because it holds true.

Understanding that MO would only lead to PMO which sure as hell is not a good way to live.
 Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will your mindset be. Don't be discouraged by a

small slip. Let the small slip be just that, small. It only becomes a bigger slip if you let it.

Brainwash Blaster

Easy Peasy Hackbook is the cornerstone for quitting porn. It will arm you with

everything you need to know to quit porn. A lot of people get hung up on this idea of

brainwashing, and ​you need to be able to dispel it for yourself.​ It will usually come down to one

thing, however. “I enjoy it, therefore I will use.” Or “I don’t enjoy it, therefore I will not use.” If

you know you don’t enjoy it, you won’t use. Simple as. You cannot however, hope to dispel all

the brainwashing before even making an attempt to quit. That’s not feasible. A healthy mindset

must be cultivated. Identifying brainwashed thought patterns that lead to slips is important

though. I for one have made it a game to identify all the brainwashing myself, and dismantle it

on the spot. When you see a message in any form, think about it and ask yourself what the

message is really saying. What do you hope to get from this thought, and what is the message

really saying? When you understand this you can see the brainwashing for what it really is. The

amount of brainwashing you will find is infinite. You will not slip up if you only have one

brainwashed belief, so long as you understand that idea there truly is ​no benefit to using​. Find out

the ideas you get hung up on, which lead you to think there might be some benefit, and seek to

understand why these ideas are true, connecting them to your own own experiences.
 Do Not Limit Your Usage While Reading

You may not even want to use while reading. But if you feel as if you’re straining at the

leash to not use while reading, don’t torture yourself any further with the willpower method. It

does zero good.

NoFap Terminology

I'd throw all that NoFap terminology out the window personally. I for one have never

used the phrase “monk mode” to describe semen retention and quitting social media, as that

implies difficulty or sacrifice heavily. Neither of which were hard choices to make at all. I lost

absolutely nothing​ in the process, mind you.

Streak Counting

As for the obsession with streak counting, it's detrimental to your recovery. It's like

staring at the clock for the entire time you're at school or work, except without any idea of when

it ends. You are quite literally numbering your own days of freedom, and cultivating a mindset of

doom and gloom. Stop waiting for something to happen! Your days aren't numbered, you're free

for life!

There may in fact be a tinge of obsession stuck within your mind. To that, remember that

you are not free for X amount of days since last session. You are still free for life!

Benefits roll in gradually, and are an ongoing process. 90 days on the willpower method

however will not remove porn industry brainwashing and so on. Your days are not numbered.

You are free for life!

 Flatline/Withdrawal Pangs

As for the famed “flatline” effect from quitting porn. Well, it isn’t from quitting porn, it

was caused by the compounded porn use over many years. Life as a PMOer is a flatline! The

only way to make that flatline go away is to quit! Not to perpetuate it by using more! You’ve got

it backwards! ​The cause of these negative feelings is watching porn, not quitting porn​!

The Final Session

Fear of falling back into the trap motivates the decision to forego the Final Session, not

an entirely invalid fear. My final visit ended up feeding the big monster because of the execution.

I looked for the "best" porn. It didn’t make it any less miserable to be sure, but the good porn bad

porn mentality is one of bargaining, which led me back down the trap a month later. The

forewarning before the final visit is one you should heed in retrospect. If you have any sliver of

doubt about your final session, you should reread the book up to that point and reflect. The idea

of the final session is to go into a session with the blinders off, so that you can see _for yourself_

that PMO isn't enjoyable.

Final Session(s) for future rereads are ill-advised in my eyes for the sole reason of “Well

I reread the book a hundred times and well technically by the book’s instructions you could

reread 100 times and have 100 final sessions so...” Have you not stopped to think that perhaps

the Little Monster is conniving his way into getting that fix of dopamine with that line of

thought? Of course don’t fear your thoughts, that’s counterproductive. Because the solution to

negative thought loops is a different mindset, that can be achieved with more thought funnily

enough. It’s thought alone that will get you a solid mindset. Combined with acting upon those

thoughts of course.
 Do Not Fear Your Own Thoughts

Users who are straining at the leash to quit tend to block out their own thoughts out of

fear that they may cause relapse. These may linger after reading Easy Peasy since this concept is

so briefly touched upon. Fear tends to feed those thoughts very much. Meditate upon these issues

and/or contemplate them thoroughly. The fear is irrational at some point because you don't want

to do those things. This cannot be overstated. Do not fear your own thoughts. Because it is​ you

who wants to leave the trap, and ​you​ who made ​the positive decision to become a happy

non-user​.

Many people on their way out of the mental trap will still try to block out any and all

remotely sexual thoughts. The book itself advises not to do so, but many still do. Accept these

thoughts. Let them come and go as they please. Or even explore them fully. What is it that your

brain desires? And why? Sexual thoughts are just that. Sexual. Making love to a screen won’t

make them go away, rather it will only beat more of them into your head. What you really desire

is intimacy, and that doesn’t come from a screen.

Remember Easy Peasy is not about sacrifice or denying yourself thoughts and pleasures.

It’s about opening your mind to the ​truth​. ​The truth will always come out on top, do not fear

the truth as it is the truth alone that will set you free in the end​. There is no secret truth to

enjoyment porn that happy users have trained to ignore, rather there’s a secret misery in the act

of viewing porn that users have been trained to ignore. Freeing your mind from the shackles porn

and societal brainwashing have placed on it. ​You cannot shackle your mind further to break

the shackles that are already placed upon it​.

 The Next Step Further

A trend you may have noticed in my thoughts about Easy Peasy is my ability to fill in the

blanks left by Easy Peasy, and in turn take ideas the next step further. I can attribute this to not

only my reading comprehension but also my mindfulness. There are recommendations to aid you

with these in Shillville at the end of this document.

I have absolutely scrutinized every single piece of Easy Peasy 1.3, using every second of

down time, instead of consuming media, analyzing the ideas of the book as well as the effects of

the porn on society at large. This isn’t required to escape the trap, but it’s where most of my

ideas come from.

A post by Celibate Yogi in one of his original advertisements for his mentoring was

entitled “​Without contemplation, the hackbook will not work.​” These words stuck me in the

moment, and still ring very true to this day, and are another big reason to not block out your own

thoughts. Any sliver of doubt that remained, was alleviated with his guidance and my own

mindfulness.

Yogi elaborated: “CBT is so useful and criminally under-utilized in overcoming

addictions. This post is my attempt at making people aware of all this.”

Hackauthor^2 has also shilled mindfulness and meditation heavily, and honestly has not

and can not shill them enough.

Combining mindfulness with CBT exercises is the missing link between the reader and

the book that unlocks the door to freedom completely.

 3.Societally Intertwined Concepts

In our society, people tend to intertwine concepts that have very important key

distinctions. I can cite my success in large part due to the dismantling of these concepts that are

wrongfully intertwined.

First off is masturbation and porn. People have been wanking for eons. It hasn’t been

such a huge problem, usually it just creates more of a desire to be with a person. This concept is

one of the driving forces behind porn addiction. Instead of going from masturbation to sex, you

may go from masturbation to porn (because it’s more easily accessible), to mastubation to more

porn, and more novel and shocking porn. Leaving you in an endless ride down the greased

dopamine waterslide.

False Equivalencies

-Unhealthy =/= Enjoyable

There’s this belief instilled in us from birth with consumerism. Life’s pleasures can be

bought and sold, and they will have downsides, but that’s the price of happiness, which you can

buy of course. Boiled down; happiness has a price. Not true. Genuine pleasures are not an

assured detriment, although there may be risks associated with them if proper precautions have

not taken place yet. “Well this thing is unhealthy, but at least it’s enjoyable. There must be some

benefit to doing it, right? Right?!”

It’s cliché to say, but happiness comes from within. It’s not attained through material. It

cannot be bought or sold. Happiness is a frame of mind, just like boredom.

 We are told that the only path to improvement is through strict

-Dopamine Rush =/= Enjoyment/Fun

The best way to retain understanding that porn isn’t something that is actually enjoyable

is to understand what you perceive as relief in the act of PMOing is akin to the relief of banging

your head against a brick wall for the relief of not having to do so anymore. It appears to be a

huge stretch, because it goes directly against what we’re told. Don’t believe it? Imagine yourself

through every step of using you soon see that it's true. It’s as a rat race for the promised pleasure,

that being a lie of course. There is no pleasure in it, but we're told so much that there is pleasure

in it, that we press on thinking eventually we'll be satisfied. That day of course never comes. So

then you get restless and out of desperation start tearing through the images ravenously and

escalate to more extreme shock value and novelty which ends up recreating the same feelings of

shock and misery that you felt when using the first time. PMO numbs the good

feelings/sensations from everything else in the world due to its supernormal stimulus.

Have you ever realized that a lot of porn induced fantasies tend to be painful or otherwise

undesirable? Let’s skip the analogies. The lines between pain and pleasure are blurred to the

point that the cessation of other unenjoyable or detrimental acts are seen as pleasurable, which

are then typically done in tandem with O compound into one large relief. It’s self-harm, really.

The dopamine rush, in fact, comes from the anticipation. This is a pleasure that happy

non-users feel using Easy Peasy. Users and non-users alike seek the pleasure of not having to

use. The difference is non-users always have that happiness. And there are times where users

won’t even feel that, even immediately after using.

Likewise, withdrawal pangs are caused by doubt; the anticipation of "failure"

I recall a situation after my second speedread. I was doing a longplay of Midnight Club II, and

ended up beating it in about 9 hours. During the latter half of my run, I convinced myself that I

was relying on willpower to not use, and was only anticipating my failure at that point. I knew

that I was going to relapse for 2-4 hours and I felt awful the entire time and afterward. You can

hypothetically not PMO for the rest of your life using the willpower method, if you had infinite

willpower, and every day would be a misery because you would be denying yourself an activity

you believe to be pleasurable, not knowing whether or not you would relapse tomorrow or next

year. You would feel awful because you spend that entire time anticipating relapse.

But even then, some users will continue to use, or see a tiny sliver of benefit in PMO or

at least the MO aspect of it. This is typically done for the dopamine rush, or feeling of

“euphoria” as u/samsteracca put it on reddit.

A response from u/SilverKingman2 stated the following.

“There’s the issue. You have a craving and believe you are experiencing euphoria. This

was hard for me to get too, but that euphoria is what the brainwashing section was about-how

porn only trickS your brain into thinking you enjoy it.

See, dopamine is released when you O, and this does cause a pleasurable feeling. The

problem is it’s price; your freedom, libido, willpower, focus, energy etc.

While you think porn is giving you something in this feeling of euphoria, it isn’t really

giving you anything worth it’s cost. You’re not euphoric out of joy, you’re euphoric because the

Little Monster wants you to go down the water slide and you just did. Once. It will demand it

more. That’s in the nature of PMO, and even just MO some would claim.
 How often have you really been happy after O? You’re not really. Not after the fact.

Maybe when it happens briefly you’re overwhelmed with a dopamine rush-but is that reason to

sacrifice those things listed above?

It’s a vacuum. It only takes. And it makes itself repeat the process over and over. That

euphoria isn’t enjoyment; it’s sacrifice of those things you value. Otherwise it would last.

It’s like you said-you have a craving for it. A hunger for it, a Little Monster that needs

fed. When you look at it this way, the orgasm is nothing more than a mental trick used to keep

you enslaved. What euphoria is worth your freedom? Get free.

(Btw, the book does use the metaphor of “hitting your head against a wall because it feels

good to stop“ in which hurting your head is searching and masturbating, and the orgasm is when

you stop-when the misery generated from the pornographic slavery is over and you’re free to not

crave hitting your head again.)”

This seems to be the consensus amongst most happy non-users, and even some users

alike. Let’s take this the next step further. ​It’s not even euphoria at all​. We tend to perceive it

as a dopamine rush, temporary happiness but you feel awful afterwards. This is seen as a 50/50

by users, and the trade off that keeps them going. After all, ​time spent doing something we

enjoy or that feels good is time not wasted in our eyes​.

But even that user’s 50/50 mentality is wrong. You don’t gain dopamine in that moment

of “euphoria.” It all leaves you at once. Like a vacuum. It’s not a dopamine ​rush,​ ​it’s a

dopamine flush​!

You should know PMO is not only a ​net,​ but a ​complete and utter​ negative.
 -PMO =/= Sexual Gratification

PMO does not provide sexual gratification. Sexual instant gratification is used to describe

porn, but honestly that is a misnomer in itself. To gratify is to satisfy or please. Porn does neither

of those things because you are always left wanting more. What all users are chasing is the

promised​ feeling of satisfaction. The moment where a porn user can do their deed, enjoy their

deed, and feel happier having done so, not needing to use again. This of course never comes. In

fact, the opposite is true. The deed causes stress, is exhausting mentally and physically, and the

user is inevitably left feeling worse afterwards.

-Discomfort =/= The “Need” to Use Porn

This covers all forms of discomfort. Even something so simple as poor ergonomics

leading to penile discomfort. Our brains have been wired to recognize discomfort as a need to

consume. Upon making this realization, you are able to dispel my insecurities. This isn’t a need

to use, this is discomfort perpetuated by PMO.

-Erection/Sexual Urges =/= The Need to Use Porn/Urges to Use Porn

Another important step in my recovery journey was the realization that I didn’t have to

“answer the call.” In fact, I realized that ​it wasn’t even a call to use porn​, rather a call to

reproduce. Making the connection in my mind that having ​involuntary erections or sexual

urges are a part of life, and they do not mean that you must MO​. Do not attempt to stamp

these out, this triggers the mental game of whack-a-mole. The moles will keep showing up

regardless of whether or not you hit them. It’s best to leave them be, and walk in the other
direction. These thoughts will come and go at their own pace. Leaves on the stream meditation is

quite helpful for these situations.

The panic that most users on the willpower method face when erections arise triggers fear

and doubt, which leads to defeatism. They make the assumption that they must MO or PMO

because they are at X stage in their negative thought loop. The thing about this negative thought

loop, is that when you have that level of fear, doubt, uncertainty, and conditioning, your brain

fills in the blanks of which you automatically make the connection that you must use because

you previously used upon thinking and feeling a certain way, i.e erections and/or sexual urges

and the perceived “need” to use porn or masturbate. This is why beliefs are so powerful. This can

work the opposite way, however. You can train your brain to understand the more comfortable

way of living, without porn.

This goes back to “The Trap” Diagram from Chapter 5 Brainwashing of Easy Peasy. The

dopamine dropoff from the previous session, the urge to pmo, and societal brainwashing to

justify the seemingly rational urge to PMO. “Well you’d feel better if you did it.” or perhaps

“You’d be miserable without it.” There is also the key idea perpetuated in our society that

erections are discomfort caused by lack of sexual stimulation with the only fix, ejaculation. With

this frame of mind, not ejaculating will be miserable, because you’re pining on it to fix erection,

of which it does not do. It only increases the desire for sexual intercourse, because that’s what

our bodies are hard wired to desire. This is a hijack of our brain’s reward systems. The fact is,

erections are urges to have sex, not for voyeurism​. They are a part of life, and you will be

miserable​ if you do not understand that they are just that in nature, and not a desire to ​ruin your

ability to perform the very acts you think you want to watch​. This is true because you’re

training your brain for voyeurism inadvertently. The fear and doubt can very much be dispelled
with affirmations of positive realism. ​If you are wholeheartedly honest with yourself, you

needn’t fear yourself​.

Nothing bad will happen if you don’t ejaculate​. Get this into your head. There is ​a lot

of brainwashing on this subject. No you will not explode.

It’s worth noting that the less you feed these thoughts the less they show up. Don’t panic

when they come, they’ll go eventually. ​They can’t force you to do anything you don’t have a

good reason for doing​.

-Watching Homosexual Porn =/= Being Homoromantic

This is another false equivalency. Porn users will do whatever it takes to get their fix.

Likewise, watching other “genres” doesn’t mean you are damned to that fantasy forever.

Someone who is knowingly gay will be more inclined to start with gay porn because it falls in

line with their character. This sense of character with ever increasing novelty is eventually lost of

course. Perhaps they’d escalate in reverse, to straight porn. The same thing would happen to the

someone who started believing they are straight, just in reverse.

With that being said…

-Watching Heterosexual Porn =/= Being Heteroromantic

In fact, it doesn’t even mean that you are Heterosexual or even Homosexual. It only

means that as a user you would do whatever it took to get your fix. Once you are a happy

non-user, you may date as you please without requiring porn-induced fantasies dictating who you

are able or unable to date. That’s the beauty of it.

 -Watching X “Genre” =/= Flaw in Your Character =/= Need For Said

“Genre” or novelty For Sexual Stimulation.

Users require novelty and shock value for their “fix” and cannot compartmentalize those

fantasies because they will spill out, but you are not bound to the fantasies you once consumed

for life. So long as you are a happy non-user, you’ll be able to function just fine sexually.

Regaining your functionality does take time, but don’t pin on X day arriving to save you from

the consequences of your past actions. That creates enough anxiety which leads to feelings of

melancholy for your loss… of captivity.

4.Brainwashed Statements

-It requires self control/willpower to quit, which I don’t have.

A happy non-user, doesn't have any more self control than you do. They merely do what’s more

comfortable. Users believe PMO is more comfortable, so they do it. I know not PMOing, is more

comfortable, so I don’t do it. Simple as. It takes self-control and willpower to not do the easy

thing. Life as a non-user is easier.

-It’s an act of self-love

It’s actually a misguided act of self-hatred. Quite a misleading name for an activity that

takes everything and gives nothing. The true act of self-love, is in not using. You may find a
newfound love for yourself as a happy non-user. It’s entirely likely since you’re being so kind to

yourself by not “beating your meat.” That figure of speech has truth! Stop beating yourself up!

-Masturbation is healthy

No masturbation ​itself ​is not a detriment to your health and wellbeing. Porn is, however.

This information is typically accompanied by some “health risks” of semen retention.

This much is a complete lie. No you do not explode if you retain your semen. It just allows you

to transmute the (formerly wasted) energy into other areas of your life. It doesn’t have

superpowers but it does increase T levels a bit which is nice.

”Morning wood” isn't the sole indicator of functioning sexual organs, PMOers get that

almost daily with less functioning sexual organs, but it also isn’t the sole indicator of the inverse

either.

-Seize the opportunity!

“ Internet porn is a biological bonanza that’s meant to be enjoyed! And it's ​FREE​! Why

not​ use?”

This seems to be the outlook of many users. First off, it’s not free. You pay in time, and

in blood. Figuratively, but literally eventually. This compounds with the fact you also

systematically destroy parts of your brain in the process.

A good response to this straight from the hackbook is cutting oxygen to the thought

completely by asking the right question. “Why should I use?”

 -I’m a confirmed user.

Anyone can apply the lessons of the Easy Peasy Method. The book itself doesn't solve

the issue, but contemplating seriously upon the ideas in the book and making the connections to

your own life can and will get you out of the trap. You can glaze over the text of the book and

not get it, but reading mindfully is key. If you ever stop at a point and can't honestly tell yourself

that you see the point, then I advise meditating seriously on it or asking about it here.

-It helps me sleep.

Masturbation has been known to improve sleep quality, apparently. You mean like when

users will stay up for hours past their usual bedtime to try and find the right clip, blasting their

face with blue light in the process? I actually sleep ​better​ without masturbation because my

phone or laptop don’t come to bed with me anymore. So I may sleep undisturbed by those

devices or by urges to use porn. Try going on a jog or doing any manner of other genuine

exercises before bed. That’ll put you right out, and has benefits.

-You can watch porn and not be a coomer.

Good porn bad porn. All porn is detrimental to your ability to function sexually.

Obviously consuming more will be more harmful, but less is still harmful. The science of

relativity here is not doing you any favors. At what point are you setting yourself up for failure

by setting your benchmark to that of a mildly exaggerated stereotypical porn user?

 -I can leave it at any moment.

Then prove it. Knowing that it’s a detriment to your wellbeing, you should have every

reason to quit. So why don’t you?

-It's only bad if you're addicted.

Porn is just as harmful no matter which way you look at it. With porn you have

everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Of course a user will end up pulling the whole salesman routine on themselves and others

trying to justify their usage because they only use once a month or once a week or once a day. In

any scenario these are presented as normal and healthy dosages. Do the same with any positive

hobby and now you’re talking to a madman. It’s not just a harmless pastime and you know it.

-It’s just something that I enjoy, there’s nothing wrong with

that.

Think of your favorite meal. For me, it’s a family dish from our culture, called Chicken

Paprikash. We eat it mostly on special occasions. Maybe once every three to six months at most.

At no point during those three to six months is it ever stressful or difficult because I haven’t

eaten it. It takes a lot of work to make right, but it also wouldn't be so special or enjoyable if we

ate it every day. If porn is just another harmless thing you enjoy, try watching once every three to

six months. You will be miserable. Why? Because it's an addiction! Those of you who have tried

to limit your usage or quit before using the willpower method will know exactly what it’s like.
 -Pornography is art.

Pornography as much an art of nudity as Coca Cola is a cullinary art. Coca Cola is not a

meal, and pornography is not nudity in an artistic sense. Nudity is surely a form of artistic

expression, but pornography is the warped, twisted, distasteful. The bathtub scene from The

Shining illustrates the pitcher plant metaphor quite brilliantly. The allure of what we perceive as

beauty leading to the shocking revelation of the grotesque hiding beneath that. Hence,

pornography.

-If I don’t masturbate, I’ll get blue balls!

In a lot of recovery communities, there is this idea that if you don’t release semen, you

will be in agony. I myself made a post about this in NoFap back when using the willpower

method. At some point you convince yourself that not masturbating will cause pain because of

the porn industry fearmongering associated with semen retention. You begin to panic, and then

you feel the hunger again, the Little Monster wants his fix and you associate the discomfort the

Little Monster brings and automatically assume that any discomfort, including this one is caused

by ​not​ watching porn, when in reality, the opposite is true. Porn caused that discomfort to begin

with.

-It’s normal for adolescents to masturbate once a day!

It’s just a part of puberty, they may say. The masturbation part, maybe. The porn part? Of

course not! The warning says 18+ for a reason don’t you know? Of course that warning is moot

and the porn industry is well aware that children are using porn as a coping mechanism since it’s

that easily accessible.

 Is it normal for adolescents to burn out their dopamine receptors? Is it normal for

adolescents to fight a mental tug of war with themselves in order to not escalate to obscene

sexual fantasies? Is it normal for adolescents to constantly feel sexually frustrated and deprived

because​ of porn? Is it normal for those adolescents as adults to be complacent in not making love

because they’d rather make love to a screen? Is porn-induced erectile dysfunction or any manner

of other porn-induced sexual dysfunctions normal?

And on that note, should normality even be used as a benchmark at all? Obesity may

affect about half the american population, but does that make it okay? The average american

personal debt is over $90,000. Do you want to be over 90,000 dollars in debt? 40 million

Americans regularly visit porn sites, should this be a reason for complacency in doing something

that is destroying your ability to perform the very acts you are watching? People did have to go

against the grade of what society told us what is acceptable to get to where we are now with the

tobacco industry. Don’t forget that America was founded upon revolution! It takes

revolutionaries and pioneers to spearhead positive societal change!

And the biggest one…

-It’s just like with everything… moderation is key.

We are all led to believe that life without our little indulgences is no fun, for porn addicts,

this belief becomes the big monster that keeps you in the trap. Though you’re well aware of the

misery that your addiction causes, you may now have come to regard it as part of your identity.

Perhaps you’ve even convinced yourself that people like you or respect you because of it.

No, a little bit of cyanide won’t kill you. But cyanide is poison no matter which way you

look at it. A little bit of cyanide also isn’t enjoyable. This moderation doctrine is built around
denying yourself enjoyable behaviors and giving yourself tons of poison in micro doses. Just

enough to keep you coming back. What's left is a person who is left miserable overall. Why am I

not enjoying these things that are supposed to be enjoyable? Could pain or death provide this

positive stimulation I’ve been desperately digging for? It’s self-harm just the same.

5.Life as a Miserable User

Being a user has many negative effects which can affect your life in many ways. We

know this. There is more than just what’s stated in Easy Peasy, because it’d be hard to list every

possible side-effect. For the sake of documentation, I will list them here.

The Physical Aspect

Lower testosterone is a given with porn use. This has a huge far reaching impact on your

wellbeing.

Chemically speaking we are designed to be less able to perform sexual acts when we are

constantly orgasming. This in tandem with the physical aspect of sex acts a natural check, a

natural inhibitor for too much sexuality activity. Internet porn bypasses the physical check. You

can scroll through more potential mates in 15 minutes than our ancestors could in several

lifetimes, combined with the lack of a consensual or intimate aspect. You’ll be watching porn for

the rest of your life. Your body chemically has little to no reason to actually have intercourse

because it sees every image as a new potential mate. What ends up happening is that your body

has an unlimited porn threshold, and sex ends up being underwhelming since ​sex is not just real

porn without a camera​. Porn is a highly warped distortion of sex.

 Stress and Hormonal Imbalance

Constant porn-induced ejaculation causes stress and hormonal imbalances. Anything that

is symptomatic of either of those things could go back to porn addiction. This has far reaching

effects. This could affect hair loss even!

Mentality, Living On a Prayer

Users tend to live on a prayer. The prayer that after just this session, I’ll be satisfied.

Once I escalate to x genre, I’ll be satisfied. Once I buy x on onlyfans, or x sex toy, or x body

pillow, or x amount of commissioned porn, or ​once I get into a relationship,​ only then I’ll be

satisfied. The list goes on forever. And yet the user is never satisfied. Why?​ Supernormal stimuli

does not provide sexual gratification​.

As a user, you are always chasing something, a feeling. The feeling was that feeling of

satisfaction, the point where you could say. “I feel better having used, I don’t have to use

anymore.” The further you go down the trap, the further from sight that goal is. You may pray

one day that session would come. A feeling of relief would come in fact, but for no longer than

an hour, at the very most each day, if even. Not accounting for the fact that you are left feeling

drained in the process of getting said temporary relief. There will be times where you aren’t even

satisfied even immediately after finishing the deed, where you may proceed to use immediately

after in hopes that the enjoyment would come. After which, you would be even more miserable

because you had exhausted my body’s mental and physical resources almost completely.

This led me into that awesome routine of mindless social media consumption. The rest of

the day was spent moping that I couldn’t use, and planning my session thoroughly, in hopes that

once again, that satisfaction would come. It wouldn’t come until I quit.
 The feeling you are looking for is the state you were in before you ever used! As a happy

non-user, you feel that feeling every waking moment.

Escalation Theory

The more you watch porn, the more novel, shocking, and obscene porn you’ll need to get

the same fix. Remember, porn is miserable, so the more comfortable you are with your state in

the PMO trap, the more you’ll need to recreate those same feelings of misery, which you felt

when first using and conflated with enjoyment. ​The question is not​ if y​ ou will escalate, but

when​ will you escalate​. Escalation is just plain masochistic but no more or less masochistic than

the act of using porn as a whole.

Waifuism/Tulpas

A noteworthy escalation as it is a whole other beast of a trap spawned from the

pornographic zeitgeist. In my story, this issue was briefly touched upon. I find it shocking how

under documented this issue is to this point despite the fact that it’s slowly growing. I dealt with

this myself, and while not directly related to porn use, it is very much a byproduct of porn use,

and I will explain exactly why.

As I said before, whereas most users will marry porn figuratively, still to their own

detriment, this particular user will marry porn literally, to an even greater detriment. This stems

from the “I masturbated to X, I must love X.” false equivalency.

Like most porn-spawned sexual deviancies and dysfunctions, this started out “as a joke”

when people would post a picture of an anime character on 4chan and say “mai waifu.” All the

while people were making shrines devoted to these characters full of thousands of dollars worth

of merchandise. There’s entire communities of these “waifuists” on a reddit and 4chan I lurked
for a while. Do be civil though, they get enough trolling as it is. There’s ways to help them I’m

sure, but we should be careful not to drive people away like with any user. Love Thy User.

The Waifuist typically starts by escalating to animated material, finds one or more

fictional characters to build their personality around on the internet. Seeing a glimpse of hope for

feelings of companionship, They become obsessed with their facade on the internet, and then the

character they associate their facade with, to varying levels of seriousness.

This typically drives them away from human interaction and more towards

communication through online communities with like-minded people. These people live on a

prayer that their search for artificial companionship will provide some sort of genuine feeling of

companionship somewhere down the line. That of course never comes. This is a byproduct of

porn use because it seeks to fill the void of intimacy left by PMO specifically, while continuing

to hope that their PMO use will relieve the other effects of PMO itself. Quite a headache to try

and comprehend, but you may get my point.

Dig deeper and you can see some people communicating with tulpas on places like

r/Tulpas or some places on 4chan. It undoubtedly goes even deeper than that. It always does.

There is not end to the rabbit hole, and I won’t spend my life trying to find it.

Sexual Confusion

Undue sexual confusion. “I masturbated to X therefore I must be romantically attracted to

X as well. But wait I also masturbated to Y so I must be attracted to X and Y. Ah forget about it I

guess I’m just bisexual/pansexual.”

 At one point in time, it wasn’t confusing to conflate sexuality with romantic attraction,

but with porn in the picture, this becomes problematic, and the distinction must be made. Porn

will open users up to things they would have never before done. Not necessarily a good thing

because this cycle ​never ends​. Unless of course you quit PMO.

Porn users will also use ​any means necessary​ to get their fix. Once you quit PMO, be

wholeheartedly honest with yourself. Could I be romantically attracted to X and/or Y

realistically? Or am I only looking for the ​novelty​ of X or Y to get my fix? You could just date

around honestly. You’ll know pretty quickly whether or not it’s what you want in a relationship.

This isn’t meant to incite resentment against the LGBT community either. Obviously gay

people have existed for eons and aren’t invented by porn. This is meant to tackle an underlying

issue with society as a whole that is also adversely affecting LGBT people as well.

Sexism

How can it get any more sexist than dehumanizing and objectifying women (or men!) to

mere pixels with little more purpose other than to provide orgasm? You can’t compartmentalize

these fantasies. You’re training your brain to need them, and come time for a relationship, porn

brain will be deprived and confused.

Involuntary Celibacy (Incels)

A friend, whilst reading Easy Peasy aloud once asked me “Is this how you become an

incel?” No. But this got me thinking. The opposite is true.

The disgruntled user may be frustrated with their usage spiralling out of control. This

pent up frustration needs an outlet, and the user may not know exactly who to blame for their
problem. This user may take the blame to women for this issue. Hence, incels and the misguided

resentment for women that comes with them. Little do they know that their issue, and the issues

plaguing the women they resent are the same. It’s projection really. The same applies to the

women who despise incels specifically, likely in retaliation to the criticism they receive from

incels, are polarized and go deeper into their tendencies they received criticism for. Polarization.

Homophobia

The disgruntled user may be frustrated with their usag spiralling out of control even

further. This pent up frustration needs an outlet, and the user has already blamed women for their

issue to no avail, but now they’re watching gay porn and can’t continue to hate themselves for it.

This user may take the blame to gay men for their issue. Hence, the misguided resentment for

gay men. Gay men didn’t invent porn, and that’s the root of the user’s problem.

The Pornification and Gamification of Relationships

On that note, this goes into the pornification of relationships. Same-sex romanticism and

the warped, twisted and fetishized idea of homosexuality we see in porn are actually different

concepts that are wrongly intertwined. Homosexuality and sodomy are not inseparable concepts

contrary to what the porn industry wants us to believe.

The major societal change we are seeing is not the growing acceptance of same-sex love,

it’s the acceptance of the pornification of relationships, using “love is love” as a Trojan Horse for

“sex is sex” and with it, the subversion of not just homoromanticism and romanticism as a

whole. This is, and will continue to be detrimental to the long term well-being of not just
same-sex, but all couples. These ideas are progressive no doubt, but progressive to what end?

And in what direction?

Transphobia

Internet pornography while it certainly normalizes the fetishization of transgender people,

does not normalize them as human beings. I remember this being a huge talking point among

leftists on Twitter and it’s worth noting. The complaint is typically that transgender people in

particular are fetishized and objectified to an absurd degree by porn.

A person I played World of Warcraft with in the past was a transgender woman, who

turned to porn for income. She used the money she made from porn to fund her surgery, and

upon getting that surgery immediately took a huge hit in her business, losing most of her

audience, because of the loss of the novelty/shock value aspect.

The reality is, ​nobody is respected as a human being in the porn industry, neither

user or actor​. I’m sure you can find more accounts of the abuse of actresses in the industry, but

I thought it would be useful to note a firsthand account I’ve heard.

You could argue that transgender people are more objectified than others, but to be quite

honest every actor is objectified equally so, some may feel the effects of it more harshly than

others, but there’s no point in having a pity party. Let’s acknowledge the real issue at hand here,

the porn industry, and not point fingers at any of the people harmed in its wake.

Racism? Racism.

Buying into low-tier journalist bait here, but apparently semen retention is racist because

the Proud Boys and the Nazi Party just so happened to practice it as well. You can find
communities of people online LARPing about the willpower aspect, and that it requires all of

your strength, and those are likely the communities that are in question by the journalists.

The distinction here is that Easy Peasy isn’t about that, it’s about freedom. Although

semen retention is highly shilled by Hackauthor^2 and myself because of its benefits. There is no

shame aspect for those who relapse or choose to MO.

Here’s an interesting thought experiment. Imagine the typical pornstar in your head right

now. You probably thought of a blonde haired blue eyed white woman. Not masturbating is

racist? Porn users can choose exactly what they want to watch, why wouldn’t they choose the

most idealized stars? You can be as picky (or as​ racist ​as you so please). It’s a known fact that

the porn industry has long since fetishized the whole blonde haired blue eyes thing.

Here’s the awful reality of it. I had become so desensitized to these 10/10 actresses that

come time to date in the real world, I wouldn’t even ​want​ to date at all, let alone a black woman

because porn had conditioned my brain to only respond to the typical pornstar. I went on record

saying (and this is truly awful) “I would never date a black woman.” to my friends as a user. I’m

eating those words now. That’s truly racist, and I can sure as hell tell you I am not the only

person in the world who thought like this because of porn. Quitting porn has actually allowed me

to find average people of any ethnicity attractive, since I’m not pinning on supermodels with

fetishized traits for sexual gratification, (that never came because porn only increases your

hunger for actual sexual activity, which porn cannot provide, but since your brain is trained only

to respond to porn, you will struggle to perform the very sexual acts you are watching!)
 Intrusive Thoughts/Black Shadows

Intrusive thoughts of escalating to “worse” material or novelty is common for a user

fighting the mental tug of war.

Post-Nut Clarity?

If, on the odd chance you saw “clarity” as a benefit to using, then let me remind you. The

clarity is only the ​incredibly brief​ return to the mental state you were in before using. Non-users

experience this with every waking moment!

“The "clarity" is you returning to your previous state of mind. This state of mind is not

the one while you were PMOing with, it's the one you had before it.” -JaRoH

Don’t forget that this feeling is referred to as post-nut depression as well.

Endless Complications

The sheer volume of problems that are or may be caused by porn use are seemingly

endless. There are absolutely more problems to be found, but we don’t want to find out, and we

certainly don’t have to, as happy non-users!

 6.The Final Guide

"The Final Guide" X-post From Another User On How The PMO

Hackbook Makes Quitting PMO Effortless.

“The following is a repost from u/UpaCha*, since the* r/NoFap Mods deleted the original post I

can't link to it directly. The "OP" that he refers to is a direct link to the original PMO hackbook

site. I had read the hackbook a couple of times and it hadn't quite clicked in my mind, but this

post is what ultimately sealed the deal for me and I think someone here may find it useful. It's

great to see that a revised version of that same book is making the rounds online.” -u/hk9

[see OP]

[see OP]

Realize that this was neither a sacrifice nor an accomplishment.

Stop counting.

Drop the label.

Leave.
Explanation for each step:

This is the best book(?) I've found, based on a successful book on how to stop smoking.

Step 3-6 requires the reader to have completed step 1.

My great-grandfather was a sailor, a simple man with simple tastes, his life was traveling port to

port earning money for his family back home. Among the crew was a man with a smoking habit,

though I forgot whether his complaints were about the cost of his vice or the lack of tobacco, my

great-grandfather responded to his complaints. The sailor's excuses were put to rest after my

great-grandfather put forth a bet, he'd take up smoking for a year, and on the day of the bet he'd

quit forever. Once at the port he set out to buy a pipe and some tobacco, as much tobacco as his

financial situation would allow, a new ritual was born--and died a year later. Did he do this just

to prove a point? Yes. My great-grandfather wasn't a monk, he wasn't an abnormal guy, he was

the average Joe of his time. This isn't smoking, far from it, people have given this thing power

and seek an external "cure" when this is all about mindset. By viewing this as a sacrifice you're

doing yourself a disservice, you're giving weight to an illusion. Likewise, you're doing yourself a

disservice by viewing this as some sort of accomplishment, it's nothing. You chose to refrain

from acting on impulse, congratulations, now you're a human being--back at the top of the food

chain--instead of some feral zoo animal. I understand that it may take some time to get used to

things like walking upright, wearing clothes, and speaking a language so let's not dwell on the

past or plan the future. Got homework? Deadline coming up? Don't put those things off, start

living today.
I didn't stop playing video games by counting the days since my last Steam login, I didn't find

love by counting the days since my last breakup, I didn't start eating healthy by counting the days

since my last visit to McDonalds, I didn't stop smoking weed by counting the days since my last

bong/vapor/pipe hit nor did the friend of a friend of a friend quit heroin cold-turkey, alone, by

counting the days since the last shot of heroin. I have no idea how or why this started but this is

without a doubt the most destructive thing you guys could possibly be doing, the entire point is

to stop making your life revolve around it and the only thing this changes is making your life

revolve around not doing it. Again, I started living and forgot about video games, I only bring it

up now because it's a decent example and one of the many things I quit cold-turkey--as you all

should as well, I'm at the bottom of my life, young and already done more damage than most my

age have, I can't go into details without doxing myself. No support system, no nothing. I have

mental illness which impact my ability to do these sorts of things but already with all this

including myself going against myself (up until some years ago when I started to self-analyze,

and be aware, concentrate on my actions etc.) my life is getting back on track, fast. I don't care if

you're dead, there's no excuse for anything, I have no excuse for my prior actions, what doesn't

kill you makes you stronger. "Too late" only applies when you're dead.

Similar to 4, this is so destructive I'm wondering if this wasn't a PSYOP made to trick people

into an endless cycle. Imagine me labeling myself as a NoGames, a NoBreakups, a

NoMcDonalds, a NoWeed or my friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend talking to me about being a

NoHeroin, it's all behind you, you're done. So why are you applying a label to yourself? Just

think about what this implies, there's no past-tense on your label, it's in the now. It implies you're
actively fighting this which is horseshit, I didn't fight off my video games nor did I fight off this

and I had been acting like an angry monkey since I was 13 years old. I had heard about this place

and this odd term people self-identify with, never thought about it until today when I saw

someone commenting and it just dawned on me that he was actually COUNTING days, I was

amazed, what is this? A science experiment? No? You're going for a high score? I don't know

where this came from but it is probably the most destructive thing you guys could be doing,

remember as a kid how you were playing arcade games? Do you remember when you put in one

coin and played for the rest of your life? No? Neither do I. There's no number beside the score,

this isn't a game, you don't have to actively fight yourself here. You're not sitting there with

withdrawls like an individual who's body is craving crack cocaine or meth or heroin, your brain

was producing dopamine, that was all, dopamine, you're not sitting there shaking, this is nothing.

The solution to this is simple...

Leave.

I look to my right and I see 216,912 "Fapstronauts," "Fapstronauts currently online: 356," "The

new day counters are LIVE!" "PANIC BUTTON! - RELAPSE PREVENTION TOOL" what is

this bullshit? Seriously whoever is behind this page, is literally working against every single

person who came here for information. I am absolutely certain, there is no way the admin could

possibly be this stupid, no way is the admin accidentally doing this, is there merch for this shit

too? Can you buy a shirt to remind yourself to not do something? I was just going to write a short

and to the point elaboration on each point but looking around I'm in awe of the psychological

warfare going on, where's the signs telling the people here to not push the red button? Amazing.

Well, you get the drift. Imagine going to a site called NoGames, the people are called NoGamers,
NoGamers currently online: 356, the new day counters are LIVE! And you all come here talking

about how many days since you last played a video game, someone "relapses"--GEE, I

WONDER HOW--because you're all sitting on a website constantly reminding all of you exactly

what it is you're NOT doing--THAT'LL HELP--and then once he's off this site he goes on to

some chat group dedicated to NoGame and he discusses tactics with other NoGamers about how

to avoid games and gaming. Leave. Leave everything, this site, the groups, this is not an

addiction, you guys are not addicted, you're being constantly reminded about something you

guys just don't want to do, that's it. This is self-destructive. This site and every site like it, the

groups, the culture, the labels, the terminology, is the very reason you are all suffering.

Attachment is the source of suffering, and you have replaced the attachment to something as

meaningless as acting like zoo animals, with the attachment of reminding yourselves every day

to NOT act like zoo animals. THIS is the problem, once you guys have done step 1. you'll be

done, it's not a cure, this is not a sickness, not a disease, it's not even a habit unless you've been

doing it for a long time, then it's merely a habit, this is dopamine, that is all. By treating it as

anything else, you feed into the very thing destroying you. This is not the beginning of a battle,

you won the war once you finished reading step 1. Once you've completed step 6, you'll never

re-enter it. Here's a bonus secret step 7.

If you're not into reading, start today. Use gen.lib.rus.ec to find any book you want to download,

start making your own personal library.

(and final point) I went through the top posts here and I see a lot of people using words like "I

think" and "maybe" and "this time" etc. I think you guys need a mindset 101:
Mindset 101:

"Who, if not you? When, if not now?"

Replace HAVE TO/NEED TO/GOT TO with WILL DO.

Replace IF with WHEN.

Your thoughts manifest themselves, confident mind -> confident body.

7.Life as a Happy Non User

Do Not Weep For a Fallen Foe

Addicts are miserable. And so were we when we were users ourselves. Life is better as a

non-user. You likely know this because you wanted nothing more than to be a happy non-user

when you were a user yourself. And with good reason. There’s no good reason to want to be a

user.

Will X Lead to Relapse?

If you are wholeheartedly honest with your intent, you won't relapse from doing X thing.

This is part of separating the false equivalencies. If you have a history of fetishizing X thing,

give your mind time to heal before doing said thing.

 Do meditate on the concept as well. Separate the concept from porn, from sex, from

masturbation, and from orgasm. So long as you consume no more pornography, this should

happen naturally as well.

Once again be wholeheartedly honest with your intent. You and only you know whether

or not you are doing X thing for the false connection of sexuality in that very thing. It is up to

you to find out these things for yourself.

Nudity or Nakedness?

Nudity is a form of visual artistic expression. It depends honestly on how you look at it.

You can certainly use nudity to feed the Little Monster as a user, but once he is dead you may

once again make this distinction between artistic expression and something clearly designed to

distort the human body to an egregious degree. Another benefit of being a happy non-user is the

ability to view nudity as art rather than a fix. The Little Monster inherently wants his fix from

anything, so with him out of the equation, you may find newfound enjoyment from this form of

artistic expression as well.

Dream Theater Shill Part II: Scenes From a Memory

Another very-noteworthy audio example from Dream Theater is the song called “Home”

from their concept album “Metropolis Part II: Scenes From a Memory” Which delves into

promiscuity and gambling, and there are suggestive moans presented as an art form and

commentary (on sex addiction no less). At no point are you ever supposed to feel comfortable or

envious of the gambler and the promiscuous one. They aren’t presented as happy, but tragic
cases in this concept album. It’s all egregiously warped and twisted to the degree that the illusion

of pleasure in those acts is broken, as a form of artistic expression.

As a user, despite this being from my favorite concept album, they made me feel

uncomfortable due to the black shadows stuck in the back of my mind. It was a real perspective

on my addiction. And one of the far reaching effects of my porn-induced black shadows, which

goes to show how far the benefits of quitting go. I enjoy my favorite concept album even more,

free from my addiction.

Pornography on the other hand is the distasteful, twisted and warped audiovisual

abomination of nakedness to the highest degree.

Hackauthor^2 recommended these two videos, but they’re hidden away somewhere in the

discord server. They were quite eye opening. “Mainsqueeze” is quite literally the amalgamation

of life as a porn user.

“These videos contain a small amount of pornography, but it's fine if you're a non user.

It's used in an art form, and you'll understand what I mean. They in fact, discourage the usage of

porn.

They are probably my two favourite videos.”

 Should I Avoid the Internet?

Avoiding the internet is not necessary with Easy Peasy. The truth is, if you want to use,

you will use. That’s why Easy Peasy works, because it removes the desire to use. Therefore,

internet use will not prove problematic in a relapse sense.

However avoiding the internet may have other benefits if you are so inclined. Exiting

Modernity at Meta Nomad is the best read if you want to leave the internet.

Fear Not Slips

Slips may happen. It makes me sad of course to see the people in our community slip up,

but I know that just means that there is still more work to be done. Please don’t panic or

self-loathe. Remain calm and understand what your impetus for slipping was. And please do

share it with the rest of the community. We can help you, and you can help us by identifying

more and more reasons for relapse. They may be seemingly infinite, but train yourself to

understand and respond to these false reasons with true reason, rather than trying to block any

reason out (willpower method). At some level, false reason that got you into this trap, and

likewise truthful reason that will get you out of this trap.

Do not weep for the years you lost as a user, instead rejoice. Your past mistakes each

work to reinforce your positive decision to be a happy non-user. Each slip is an opportunity to be

even further vindicated in making that positive decision to quit. Self-loathing and shame drive

addiction even further.

 Triggers

You may stumble upon what you consider to be a trigger on your journey. The concept of

triggers, you should seek to eliminate from your mind. The idea is that if you unwillingly happen

to see some certain thing, you’ll be sucked into a mental whirlpool that you cannot escape with

any amount of willpower.

This sounds counter-intuitive, but cease this fighting of urges. It’s futile. This doesn’t

mean you should PMO. This means deconstructing what you perceive as urges and triggers and

deconstructing them for what they are. This is how I was successful in my run-ins with the Little

Monster.

This mentality of “The Great War Against The Urges” is detrimental to your recovery,

because you will only PMO if you want to. Cold showers and other “urge killers” don’t work

because they don’t remove the reasons to use presented by the Little Monster. He gives the idea

that it would feel good, or it would have some other benefit. Understanding fully that this isn’t

true, will eliminate any reason to use. The Little Monster needs something to work with and

that’s a fact. If there is some sliver of doubt left in you, that your decision wasn’t a positive one,

you’ll have urges to use. But once again do not conflate standard arousal with a need to use porn.

That is key.

Fighting urges however, is a remnant of the willpower method, and if you still have this

detrimental concept in your mind, ​you will spend the rest of your life trying to fight yourself​.

You lose either way, so it’s a lose-lose.

To eliminate the concept of triggers from your mind is to end the war with yourself, and

be free. To do this, we must first delve into what we as users perceived as triggers. The idea of a
trigger is that if you see suggestive imagery at some point (which is inevitable), that they would

lead you to

If you eliminate the reasons for desiring to use, and are confident in that, then your

decision upon accidentally running into porn should be self-evident. Remember, the grass wasn’t

always greener! Remember, it was just one peek that got you hooked the first time. If you could

have stopped that first peek from happening, the answer would be yes every time! There is no

bargain to be made!

Love Thy User

Emphasis on this point, “The war isn’t against users, but the porn industry trap, and it’s

waged for the simple reason that I enjoy it. Every time I hear about a user escaping from the

prison I get a feeling of immense pleasure. But this pleasure hasn’t been without considerable

frustration, mainly caused by two categories of porn users. In spite of the warning in the previous

chapter, I’m continually surprised by the number of those who find it easy to stop, yet later get

hooked and find they can’t succeed the next time.”

Likewise, I am not “anti-coomer” as I have been called by a friend. I corrected him,

saying that I am not against coomers, I am for their wellbeing, and them in turn. This makes me

“pro-coomer” in actuality.

I’ve channeled my frustration with the PMO trap, to the porn industry and those

perpetuating it. Each user is in the exact same trap that I was stuck in for almost half my life until

now. I used to loathe addicts when I was one, ironically enough. My hatred used to reside within

myself for being an addict. As I hated myself, the addict, so too did I hate the addicts around me.
 With the concepts of the Little Monster and the Big Monster understood, and the hatchet

buried, I can waive (the addict’s), my responsibility for my past actions, and move forward with

the information I need to make the happiest choice, with no qualms about my past. To be a happy

non-user eternal!

Seeing the addiction trap for what it is has enabled me to wholeheartedly love each and

every addict on planet earth. They are all in the same trap of addiction that I was in, and I truly

love myself now too, so why shouldn’t I love them as well? Fate may have had us meet as

enemies, but the addiction trap will make us brothers.

The Final User

There was one user left though, that I struggled to love.

Brainwashing Mania

The most common byproduct of freedom using the Easy Peasy method is this mania of

sorts that you tend to enter when your worldview is shattered and you disillusioned.

Inadvertently, you may want to continue making drastic lifestyle changes because you are

springboarded into action with your newfound freedom, and will tackle your other life issues one

by one. The instruction at the end of Easy Peasy says not to change your life ​solely because you

quit porn​. I made several big changes one by one over the course of time after receiving my

freedom, such as my favorite one, divorcing the smartphone in bed. It improved my sleep as well

and my ability to get out of bed.

It’s natural to want to share the newfound happiness you’ve achieved through Easy Peasy

with other people, and rightfully so. Unfortunately, there exist people who are more willing to
complain about their issues than to do anything to fix them. Some people don’t want solutions to

their problems, and while you can certainly offer the solution, it’s no good if the person

genuinely doesn’t want to help themselves.

In my own bout of brainwashing mania, I would verbally communicate my mental

counterpoints to societal brainwashing whenever the big monster would rear its ugly head

through people closest to me. I can guarantee that people who are brainwashed that thoroughly

will not want to hear your counterpoints to societal brainwashing. If someone is struggling, offer

your hand certainly. If they reject your help, then take note and keep what you know in your

back pocket in case they’re in need. If your whole shtick is dismantling societal brainwashing,

you’ll never be taken seriously. Being a “sperg” about it for a lack of a better word will polarize

you from people you care about, and provides no benefit to you or the receiving party.

The Dib Effect

Here’s an analogy to Dib from Invader Zim. The running gag of the show is that it’s

obvious Zim is an alien, and Dib points it out incessantly. Nothing he says is wrong, but in his

constant obsession with the truth, he is mocked and in turn the idea that Zim is an alien is never

taken seriously because Dib is just the crazy guy.

The Yolem Effect

This applies to Yolem from the discord server. We all know porn is bad on our server,

but it’s likely that in his worldview being shattered, that was the impetus to become obsessed

with the truth. Now since his whole shtick is being obsessed with trying to find the truth, and his

willingness to write extensive google docs based on the smallest sliver of doubt in what we’re
told in society. He’s ready to disarm societal brainwashing, sure. But it had become an obsession

and then it was easy to clown on Yolem for doing so.

I began to say “yolem moment” in response to any controversial redpills presented in the

server, turning his shtick into a running gag. By which point, nobody would be willing to take

anything he said seriously. Nothing against Yolem. A good guy, just a bit obsessed and

misguided. I’ve been there too and I’m sure a lot of you have as well, but I find the Yolem effect

to be worthy of noting, as it seems to happen with a lot of people using Easy Peasy.

On a broader scale and in the real world, this will polarize you in your relationships if

you push the truth too hard with brute force willpower. It does nothing to help the brainwashed

individual.

You should seek to understand rather than to be understood. Ask people what they think

and work with what they know to help them understand. You needn’t lie or sugar coat it.

Using brute force willpower to impose your ideas upon another person is just as effective

as the willpower method upon yourself. Likewise, it is equally as frivolous. One person yelling

“PORN ISN’T ENJOYABLE!” at the top of their lungs does nothing to someone with

deep-seated brainwashing that is continuously, unknowingly yet willingly being perpetuated in

their subconscious mind by thousands of different sources.

8.The Amative Versus The Propagative Sides

of Sex

The amative side of sex focuses on the love component of sex, and often times due to

societal forces, is mixed up with the propagative side of sex. This ties into the pornification of
relationships, because in pornography, sex is separated from intimacy, and instead becomes

focused on maximizing your own sexual pleasure. These ideas are then transplanted into

relationships, and will prove detrimental to it.

Sex has gone from an intimate act of affection to focusing on popping the balloon as it

were, as fast as possible typically. The focus has become on highs and lows, and porn-induced

fantasies and deviancies. The intimacy aspect is completely removed in the process, and what’s

left is a very hollow, superficial experience.

This shift, in turn, has left much to be desired by those participating in the act. A perfect

opportunity to sell more sex-industry products that leave even more to be desired… a loving

intimate sexual experience of which is obstructed by said products!

Karezza was shilled in Easy Peasy, and focuses on the love between two people, just

enjoying the moment with someone you love, with ejaculation removed from the equation. The

idea is to make sex a less superficial experience, and is definitely worth a try.

9.The Hole

There is one crucial flaw in my mentality, however. I have eczema. Anything I say about

the “pleasure” of PMO could apply to that of itching an unscratchable itch; my eczema. Each

time I itch, it gets worse. The relief of itching is only temporary, etc etc. It’s all there. And yet I

still itch. Why?

Even yet, this hasn’t proven to be detrimental in my recovery, as I don’t ​want ​to use porn.

I must emphasize, you do not need to remove ​every​ brainwashing aspect to quit porn. What it

comes down to, is whether you enjoy porn or masturbation at all. If I wanted to use, I could very
well make the excuse in my head that there was a flaw in my mentality and therefore I should

use. However, I didn’t stop there, I used this flaw as an impetus to go even further in improving

my life rather than making an excuse not to improve.

This is where I ask for your help. This might be a stretch, but there could potentially be

an Easy Way to cure eczema psychosomatically. If anyone has any ideas for this, please do

contact me. Or do it yourself if that’s what you wish.

10. To The Porn Industry, And The Bastards

Who Run It!

Remember, this war isn’t against ourselves or other users, but the porn industry trap. We

as individuals have the power to trigger a domino effect and make the positive changes that we

want to see in our world. Contact your local educators and government officials, or even

religious organizations. Do anything you can to spread awareness of this menace to society.

Share your story. Spread the word. Tell them how easy it was to quit, and how much more

enjoyable life is without being an addict. Let’s make a difference for the better! Look at what

happened to the tobacco industry! Change can be made, we each have the power to spearhead

positive societal change.

Shillville

I can’t shill meditation enough. You don’t even have to do it like a monk, just give your

mind any sort of breathing room to contemplate on your life and your day to day decisions. If

you numb your mind to your problems they will only continue to grow, except you’ll be blind to
them as well, creating an even bigger issue. Just practice any form of mindfulness and I promise

you that you will see big improvements.

-Easy Peasy Hackbook - If for some masochistic reason you haven’t read it yet.

Fed Up Documentary (Free on YouTube) - After watching this documentary, I lost 20

pounds by quitting sweet drinks alone and another 20 by not eating high sugar/carb foods. Down

to 133.8 pounds from 170+ pounds.

Endmyopia.org - Fix your eyesight!

www.meta-nomad.net/exiting-modernity/​ - Shilled by Hackauthor^2 previously, but I

will shill it too. It’s the go-to book if you want to exit modernity, hence the name.

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen - A solid method to improve yourself in general.

-Metropolis 1927 - My favorite movie, made in the wake of the industrial revolution,

with a lot of great commentary aspects (even on porn) as well as pioneering the science fiction

genre as a whole. It’s silent, sure, but with the soundtrack from Gottfried Huppertz, it doesn’t

feel as if it’s missing anything at all. Probably the most palatable silent film and it’s free on

YouTube as well.

-You Are The Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza - I was recommended this a month before

reading Easy Peasy. It’s astonishing how well it lines up with Easy Peasy and Easyway. A lot of

ideas of his delve into the power our minds have to make positive change. Our brains truly are

miraculous things.

-Sister Kenny - Allen Carr frequently references this movie.

For mindfulness I recommend the Waking Up app by Sam Harris.

For reading I recommend “How to Read a Book, The Classic Guide to Intelligent

Reading.”
 Perhaps one of my most controversial and questionable shills of the bunch: Psychedelics

are a great way to break thought loops and open your mind to other possibilities. When hearing

about people’s experiences with psychedelics, I often am reminded of my own experience with

the moment of revelation and the Easy Peasy Hackbook; a beautiful, complete and utter reframe

of my mind.
