It's kind of brainwashing. Whenever the bad habits come, each time you try to replace those addictive thoughts with those that can reduce the value of those thoughts. In dhamma, its called 'stop feeding the animal in order to kill it. The animal is klesha dhamma. The food is the way we attach ourselves to external objects. The more you do, more you feed and the more it grows. In addition, we've got to follow certain practices to reduce the effect. By ejaculating, you feel a lesser urge to watch porn which feeds the addiction. Accumulation and stop by force don't help.  It makes the matter worse. I bet nobody can last a couple of weeks and even if you do you'll be returning to the old ways more often than not. Ejaculation (without watching anything - just based on your past memories) is always better than watching hours of hours of porn. Its an optional tactic to go along with the mental effort.</p></blockquote><p></p>
