However by stage 6, there is not much of an urge if at all. This may be consistent with those journals because I don't recall any of those users of SM reporting an obsession with porn or masturbation by the end of the program. I do recall some having a higher urge at particular stages but not obsessive behavior as a result of SM at the end. I think it's because the program increases the quality of women that you look for to a high level. Also the non neediness is at a high level by stage 6.
But was porn a weakness for you to begin with? I guessing not. It's more a reflection of the person than it is the program.
True. It wasn't a problem for me to begin with. Its just that as I read your message as saying that as a result of using SM, some people in their journals were reporting that they had become more obsessed with porn and masturbation. I didn't necessarily observe that message from their journals. What I did read in one or two journals is that they felt they had a problem with porn at the beginning and after using SM, they didn't feel that SM took care of it. But they did not say, from what I recall, is that they became more obsessed as a result of using SM.
But I do hear ya. I don't think you were trying to say what I interpreted from your message. I think you are simply saying that you have a problem and you would like SM to take care of it. I do think that if it is a big issue for certain people, I think it should have its own program so that issue is the only one you are concentrating on. If it is included in SM, it goes in with a huge amount of other stuff and all this competes for your brain power. I do think it could go in as a separate module that could be used along with using SM or for standalone usage. If it is a big problem for you, use as a standalone so that it gets all your concentration. Now that I'm thinking about it, isn't there already a separate module? I thought there may be one but I may be wrong.
