I just came across your post/journal and wanted ask you a question or two. Why do you PMO? Are you stimulating this habit with other elements in your life, ie movies, TV, music, etc? Most of us tend to use PMO to medicate or soothe something in our lives that causes us stress, so we escape with PMO. We inadvertently train ourselves that if we view porn we will also get a sexual release, this creates a loop of positive reinforcement and effectively we built a habit for soothing ourselves. Its the perfect storm of a partner who never says no or judges you, combined with the removal of all inhibitions. But it isnt real and hampers our IRL relationships too. I've never known anyone on here to escape the habit of PMO permanently through shear will power, because unless we understand our motives for what we are doing and replace that unwanted behavior with another positively reinforced action, it will simply lay there waiting for a weak moment to seek fulfillment and then you relapse. Its good to know the science behind some of our triggers like "Delta Fos-B", but that alone isn't enough. So, we must first determine, "why we PMO?" Then we can set about building a better habit to replace it, otherwise just trying to stare it down ends in frustration and disappointment with ourselves, which can be counter productive.
