PMO addiction and fapping the shit out of yourself too much has an extremely detrimental effect on the mind so it only stands to reason that the body will follow suit. I destroys your mind so it will destroy your body.
Those things you mentioned might come from the boost in motivation you get from quitting PMO. People tend to get off their arse more when they quit porn and do things like exercise, etc. The body hair thing is weird though!
Yeah, I agree. Things like anxiety and depression can affect health and physical well being in profound ways, so it would be more strange if a person never felt physical differences before and after quitting porn. Stress hormones can affect muscle growth and visceral fat directly. Shortness of breath can be an anxiety/panic thing... if it is truly respiratory, then that seems less plausible. I agree on the body hair. How old are you? Could it just be a coincidence? Guys just get hairier everywhere except their heads as they age. Also, my legs... my legs were peak hairy in high school and are less so now. Yeah, no idea.
Regarding the peeing... I definitely had some stuff going on down there through reboot. Basically, I don't think the body is made to ejaculate once or more a day. Many times when I tried quitting I'd get heavy pressure and sharp pains from not ejaculating. It took a long time for my body to realize that the smallest bits of arousal weren't going to end in orgasm. Once that settled, I had a long period of time where peeing and really emptying my bladder was kinda weird. Eventually things normalized and I really don't have problems now. I only occasionally had the leak thing, but it makes sense to me.
One side effect I had after quitting was that my caffeine sensitivity went way up. My theory is that a PMO habit is a bit like a tranquilizer. Take and upper and a downer and they work against each other. Some people do this, either by prescription or by addiction, take amphetamines in the morning and benzos at night. I suspect once the brain fog and such wore off and I was just left with the caffeine, it was hitting way harder than it ever did.
