Hi, Oena here. Male, mid-forties. Single. High-demanding job in academia. I?ve been on PMO since I was a teenager. My kinks cluster around a peculiar set of fantasies: females in high-heeled footwear, body modification (girls with pierced nipples), and leggy women in latex attire.
In June 2020 I read Gary Wilson?s Your Brain on Porn (a book which I recommend wholeheartedly!) and I?m on month three of my monk-mode reboot journey.
- My recovery has been greatly helped by embracing contemporary stoicism (aka ?fifth Stoa?), a philosophical doctrine based on the teaching of some Greek and Roman thinkers, which are well suited to the challenges of contemporary world. Stoicism stresses the need to temper passions with reason, ruthlessly kill distractions, and gain independence from controlling forces. Furthermore, it advocates a lifestyle based on accepting personal responsibility and an attitude whereby the impediment to action advances action: what stands in the way becomes the way. I?ve collected a number of inspirational quotes and helpful reboot-related teachings which have given me strength. I can post and comment them here on a regular basis. Anyone interested?
- I?m starting to reap the much-awaited benefits. In my eyes, superpowers are vastly exaggerated although benefits are tangible and worth the effort. What I?ve seen is a substantial increase in my cognitive ability and the end of some troublesome mental health issues I?ve been struggling with for decades: mental fog, inability to concentrate, lack of focus, sluggishness, procrastination, mediocre memory and the general feeling of having a ?dull? mind. Would it be okay if I share some details?
