A huge weakness for me when trying to quit. I always feel like I just want to go back into the screen... so much. 13 years of being really really addicted to this. This whole issue is just so difficult.

I've been addicted to prawn and sex even before my child mind understood what it was, you are right it is extremely difficult, I'm going on 2 months sober, and I concur that confiding in a loved one definitely helps, others have found their solution through therapy

You need medicines like beta blockers but it should be prescribed

[@markhall6306]

Put a blocker on all your devices have an accountability partner put it in trust in Jesus you are saved by grace and stay away from people who keep talking about sin just deal with using a blocker and focus on other things get a non western woman who likes sex and respects men not some self righteous Calvinist feminist and a lot of this problem will be solved

[@markhall6306]

@@thetruther954 get a woman likes sex and doesn’t make you sleep on the couch. I understand men to take responsibility stop looking at porn put blockers on your devices but women need to stop refusing to have sex the word of God says don’t deny each other only for a short time because of your lack of self control problems too many marriages are sexless marriages and if a woman refuses to have sex with her husband you are opening the door for devil to tempt a man to masterbate, look at porn or find intimacy with someone else. It’s not really that complicated men need to take responsibility and women need stop being no submissive feminists. I have a non western woman because I got tired of women in America

[@dragonore2009]

I don't see many medical professionals talk about this topic as opposed to other addictions. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone such as yourself speaking about this topic.

[@MultipleGrievance]

That's because it hasn't entered the modern lexicon yet. Most medical professionals take thier cues from the corporate landscape they work in. Even though the science is already in, It's going to take a lot more time for it overcome media bias. Even IF we didn't have a billion dollar industry pushing back, the narrative that porn is healthy has to be overcome.

I went on a binge yesterday after a 3 weeks streak. I'm very ashamed. My mind is telling me to take advantage of this to the fullest and go for another binge since I've ruined my progress. Also, I noticed in this relapse that p**n didn't give me the same euphoria as it did before this latest (and longest) streak. It was pleasurable of course, but not as I was expecting.

[@nicks1799]

Relapses are not bad. You can't think of 90 days streak in first go. Sorry, that's not possible. You have an addiction and that too a level of other high grade drugs. Relapse will tell you your trigger weeks or days. Start another streak and now you know that third week is the culprit, pass it anyhow and then you will certainly get to know how far you can go ...good luck

[@therichbuddha3277]

The lack of euphoria is your brain trying to keep the HJ at bay so not rewarding the habit as much. When you/we move to aversion of looking then we will have beat it!

I think one part she (I believe) missed was that while trying to kick the habit men will become worried their PIED is normal ED so they will go back to porn to see if "it" still works. It does get worrisome when you're so many months into detoxing your brain from porn and you feel like you lost all your libido.

[@detBits]

Saw your videos in August, the information you provided was just enough to finally decide at age 30 to quit using porn (though I still masturbate and will continue to do so). I haven't really had much of an urge at all to watch it, though I can still feel a subtle pull in the back of my mind (so creepy in hindsight). Overall, while I still suffer from ADHD, the co-morbid maladies such as depression and anxiety are lessened while off the P. I have a different 'vibe' about me at work and it's easier to talk to women (which is good because my work is 80% women), it wasn't difficult before, but it's just.. easier - now. I'm still kinda lazy but honestly I think my malaise is so multi-faceted but P was definitely a contributing factor. Thanks for being the final push to get me to quit this adverse pastime.

Your channel is a big tool of mine right now in what is my second big attempt to quit this terrible habit I went almost the entirety of 2023 clean from this. All of a sudden the last 5 months have been a slow but steady decline to the point where I am back at the worst of my behaviors. Less overall time in the behavior, but I have still lost a couple of days off to it. You provide a lot of education on the matter which is always something I like to do when I tackle a problem. Learn more about it. Today is the first day where I have gone through the day sure of myself. Most of the days lately have been hoping I don't relapse. For the first time in a long time if not maybe even ever on this journey, My thought process is that last night was the last time. After feeling physically and emotionally defeated by this to the point where Even the extreme kind of content I was most addicted to and falling back into watching, wasn't enough to keep me aroused. And I was in physical discomfort for being so aggressive on somewhere so sensitive on the body for so long. If there hasn't ever been such a massive signal to stop outside of just my conscious, this is it. Trying to envision the hijacker. Because that's the perfect analogy. Trying to remember I don't negotiate with hijackers

I want to add something else that I discovered a long time ago, before I committed to fighting this addiction, on KZbin no less. There are several videos that are listed as "hand expression for pregnant women." There were MANY videos of women fondling themselves that were overlayed with "explanations" from, I think, actual hand expression videos that can be found at pretty much any women's hospital for pregnancy.

@@christopherdavis5297 There is a loophole that allows these kinds of displays for "instructional purpoes only" that so many abuse. They use this loophole to basically promote porn by suggesting it's a "massage" or that it's for "hand expression" when it clearly isn't.

Dr. Trish, you are absolutely right about porn. Almost everything we watch on porn is not real. No hugs no kisses, and no warmth. You watch just a machine working to call for a machine industry. No feelings, no reality and the content is full with relations of incest. Imagine these videos mixed with drug consuming; it is destroying families. At first one feels less freedom when listens to your warning and wise words. But what you're doing is absolutely right, to shed light on this horrible business. God Bless you. I keep saying with you, porn is not reality and definitely porn is not love. Even true sexual relations through prostitution which I ask you to tell us about. You're only one, but you are not alone teaching the right path...

I recently caved and guilty of doing a four day binge after 6 months of no masturbating but even though that sucks I realised that’s actually not that bad considering I used to do it day after day. I’ve also noticed I actually don’t feel as guilty or upset about it like I did back in the day because I know I can actually stay away from it for a long time and don’t actually need it. Plus even though I may have lost all that effort I technically haven’t because of all the knowledge I’ve gained during those months, I know what I am capable of when I don’t masturbate and that’s actually making feel more positive than negative because this time I’ll double that and even further 👍

I came looking for this video for some support and guidance again. I’ve been porn free for about 5 months and learning about my hijacker, behavioural patterns, attitudes and perspectives that I developed through the lenses of porn, especially over time as my brain has changed and I’ve learned have to view and see the world, women, sex, intimacy, and myself differently. I’ve been feeling not great the last week, quite sick from the change of weather, exhausted from work with not enough days off, and feeling a little emotionally disconnected from someone I’ve been seeing when we’re apart, and not really knowing if that emotional disconnection is real or if it’s my hijacker being manipulative and wanting me to engage in some kind of pornographic fantasy of sleeping around with whoever. The last week I’d been checking women out on the street, which I’m aware is one of those porn related and induced habitual behaviours I developed as a kid, and especially my hijacker, and lastnight I browsed social media which I felt was my hijacker pushing for those grey areas, and I found myself getting intoxicated and possessed when I saw pictures of women wearing overly sexual and revealing clothing. The feeling of my head feels awful, it never went as far as pornography or masturbation or anything, but I feel guilty, and like I’ve the worst headache and hangover, it really is like a powerful drug like heroin. I felt like I sobered up a bit thismorning when I woke up, and it literally feels sobering, but I feel like I’m experiencing physical and psychological withdrawals, and it actually feels physically painful, it’s like when the hijacker’s gets a taste, it goes from seemingly in the background non-existent, to fully taking over my mind like I’m not myself anymore, it’s really scary, and I’ve the fear of falling back and going into old habits, behaviours, ways of seeing the world, myself and women, being miserable, with erectile distinction again (stopped having issues with it after porn abstinence), and struggling to connect with women the way I do now. I know they’re just fears, and maybe necessary fears, and this comments is really just me expressing my feelings, letting it all out and sharing with everyone here my experiences. Dr. Trish is right, the first and biggest step to recovery and moving on is being fully committed, not half committed or partly, but fully and completely, that comment she made was the most important thing I heard on the start to my journey. Also an important thing to note, as humans we’re all capable of anything, it doesn’t matter how long you haven’t watched porn or practiced the habits associated with it, your hijacker is always there you’re always more than capable of slipping back into practicing those habits that your hijacker want you to practice to help it feel power. Don’t go to war with the hijacker, the hijacker is part of you developed by your younger self, but politefully and respectfully inform and remind your hijacker that we’re living in the present, in the moment, and moving forward with our lives, not back, and that the coping/survival strategy of watching porn and stimulating ourselves that way is no longer necessary and will not be happening. I anyone who’s still reading can benefit from what I have to say here in expressing myself in my experience and journey, thank you

(That's if the woman doesn't first require a condom, or want to kill the fetus first), and then if that's not good enough, the woman will make up some confabulated story from 37 years ago about how she was "raped"! LMAO C'mon man. Women are satan. But at least you're right about the Bible and being Republican. But that's only half the story. There needs to be a yang to the yin. And until women snap out of their entitled fog , brainwashed privilege and toxic femininity, we men will be resigned to superfluousness. Thus, is it not apropos that porn as a political tool, ultimately renders women obsolete? Personally, I think that porn is the greatest invention in modern history. No need for rejection from spoiled brats. No need to be subjected to sub-species. No necessity to have sex with tripe. Until women smarten up, porn will be "The Way".

I have to say this video came at just the right time, not just because of no nut November, but because I always relapse to watching prawn videos, and now seeing that I would stop watching the hub type of sites, but continue viewing social sexual media, would explain why my efforts to quit in the past had failed

[@saulrobertson3789]

I’ve just failed after 115 days monk mode. Just need to start again… I didn’t feel that different during the streak, and I don’t feel that different after relapsing..

You are right, Dr. The Highkacker is the trickster. 16-17 years of playing this game. Even today, the highjacker plays this game with the Brain and the Mind. "Just 10 mins, Just One /Two videos, Just one Actress/Model, Just One glance" etc. Truth is, it is never like that, it inevitably goes to 35-40 and then onto 1-1.5 hours. This is true, almost 99% or 9 out of 10 times, esp. For anyone who has a compulsive habit. November begins tomorrow, NPN.

You're spot on! NPN💪💪

[@taramay8174]

Its extremely difficult to break

[@nathanramos6685]

Definitely difficult and a constant struggle but not impossible

[@taiwohassan7113]

Dr Trish Leigh i think I'm in the shades of grey cause the relapses that I'm having of recent aren't from porn but on sexualized youtube videos

[@cristofferandersson1498]

Hi trish.. i relapsed two times after 17 days… feels terrible…

[@PornBrainRewireDrTrishLeigh]

That's okay! Understand what you let slip through the cracks, adjust your recovery plan accordingly, and then move on!

Sometimes she’s difficult to watch. She is so gorgeous!

Cultivating alternative hobbies like poetry , literature , spirituality will help a porn addiction . If yes then up to what extent .

[@connorohare229]

My hijacker at the moment is saying to me "Its been a long time since you've seen any of that content, aren't you curious about what has changed since then " I know this isn't healthy and it's toying with me right now

[@joestewart2298]

I have to back up my iPad Air 2 every 2 weeks or so, it that because of the porn on it that I have been watching lately, I am concerned and stressed out, any help please, this Friday night, I’m drunk

[@karlecolin7864]

Hi, Trish. If you stop porn and masturbation for 90 days, will this rewire your brain alone?

[@vl4394]

Wow. So I consumed a ton of kava over several weeks, then added a large amount of chocolate + rapid blood sugar spike and induced something resembling a migraine or a prolonged series of minor seizures. Like waking up from a dream, my mind has rapidly put itself back together again. Though arguably like humpty dumpty nonetheless, but to no obvious functional consequence. With this many of the compulsive "lack of free will" sort of out of body experiences also went away... it's very easy to just not bother with self soothing behaviors. It's like I'd entered a sort of self destruct spiral. Either way I apologize for my cryptic and extremely elaborated comments. Not that I really care, I did nothing wrong sharing my experiences and various internal subsystems and symbols. I'm more apologizing to myself if anything. I'll provide some concluding thoughts. The takeaway for me is, and I structure things into three layers which are the real (actual events and sensory input), the abstract symbolic layer (internal symbols, relations, and structures), and the core (true basis). At the core I would say I associate connection of any kind with complete annihilation. Death and rebirth. Connection is what ends and remakes the world. Connection to self, to body, to world, to reality, to other, to anything. This is because the only thing the core self comprehends is the return to the primordial cold, which is where all else stems from. And there are other key factors to do with early childhood and so on but I won't bother. Association between connection (which implies one's own existence, which creates a reflection) and death. Therefore connection is avoided. If connections ends and remakes the world, and I am not done with the world as it is, obviously I would reject it. From this the constellation of intimacy terror and associated trauma induced avoidances, triggers, physical and verbal conditioning in the formative years, etc takes shape. The reason it shopuld be seen as a constellation is because the same gist can happen to different people, but they'll all form different connections and arrangements between them. So that's it. Visibility is vulnerability, connection is cruelty, closeness is mutual harm, change is death. Existence itself is draining. Pretty straightforward. I would say the key event for me was when a girl I actually liked asked me out, and I rejected her. Reflexively, I'll just disappoint her, this is unfamiliar and threatening, etc. Then with another girl. And another. And another. Warm cold, push pull, build something up and run away from it just before it amounts to something. Programmed self sabotage. All revolves around the return to the primordial cold, which is a rejection of one's humanity and being bound and crystallized by "growing up" and externally imposed "identity". This comes from early childhood divorce ~3 and being given video games to play instead, then the father being replaced by another threatening male who I decided should die by ~5. Then this was all gone, so it layered over without reconciliation and became a sort of amnesia. I also think there's some sort of insidious and very deliberate maybe media based brainwashing that leads to this schizotypal, narcissistic, perhaps autistic schizoid solipsistic self sabotage behavior. Because it's very odd. Very programmed. Of course it doesn't feel odd when you destroy yourself, but it is odd, if you really think about it! The last part is the parentification / spousification (emotional incest), double binds, and exposure to misandry and misogyny in early development. This and the type of people who try to pass it on to children must be eliminated from the child's life completely. They are a type of poison. With men exposure to women without husbands is also profoundly negative, because they can't actually manage themselves. Without the sexual component, the male cannot regulate her behavior fully. This is a sort of emasculation, or psychological castration. Man hating creatures are just as bad. Always going on about how men are all so terrible, then they get with them anyway. This tells the child that women don't like sex, and hate men. They hate each other, they hate themselves for wanting to be wanted, they hate men for desiring them, and they're basically biologically programmed to do what they do but there is no way it can turn out well. Then the media reinforces the conception of women as apex predators. Cold, ruthless, and utterly empty. Manipulators, users, contrivers. This is transferred into the unconscious and facilitates doublethink later on. If that is a woman then of course with all of this, the mere idea of being the man, of conquering and containing mother nature herself, it is not possible. So he becomes schizoid and frigid and simply avoids it all instead. You can also see how this forms part of the "decay chain" by which a man becomes trans as well (which the world tried to do to me, and I put it in its own comaprtment mentally and watched what sort of threads were being woven and plucked, but I overall ignored because it is nonsense). He hyperpolarizes and becomes extremely masculine and "counterdependent", this exhausts him because he cannot outsource his Anima functions. So he decays into a dynamic where he goes between numb and null, to both (divine androgyne/hermaphrodite imitation, see eg rubedo and the great work). In a Lilith allegory he elevates his Anima to equal standing, but odds are this will eventually lead to engulfment, not unlike an infant returning to a state before birth. The Anima doesn't have a reflection in the world, so it seeks out a reflection through women. This Pygmalion behavior eventually inverts to the more classical autogynephilia. Which mind you I did not experience or go down that road internally or externally, but I did allow it to be simulated in part of the inner world. It makes perfect sense. This then solidifies the problem of intimacy, because an actual woman has to outcompete and displace a relatively powerful Anima which doesn't like to connect to the outside world. It's more Lilith than Eve, to put it in quasi-religious terminology. The Anima needs its own type of fuel, and if it isn't getting it through being part of a social network of sorts, it manufactures it on its own. Porn is extremely crude, but viable, when it comes down to it. The other thing I would say is that dual use is part of the early cause. Like I actually learned to program, learned to work with video, learned mathematics and about compression algorithms, and cinematography, and all sorts of things.... due to highly sublimated libido. None of it was for directly sexual or pornographic purposes, but that was an initating and sustaining part of it. I saw everything as dual use, even something down to the design of a room or something, I'm like huh I can take that concept and use that for something else. I do this with everything. Like if you go on pixiv or something, search "landscape". You'll find a lot of nice landscapes, odd, interesting, technically impressive and intricate environments, alien worlds. But look at the engagement and ratings difference with a plain landscape, and a landscape with an attractive or interesting woman placed in it. One clearly motivates more than the other. This is exploitable to try to hack the brain... but if you have a collapse of this sublimationa nd transmutation machinery, it leads to what I just call hypersexual diffusion. Where everything becomes sexual. And it can't be used or managed at all. It actually is redirected back onto the self for the purpose of sustaining a state of living death, killing the inner world and making sure it stays drained of live. It is safer and easier to not be a living thing, and it gives the core what it needs, which is to be apart. To be special. People say this like "you just think you're so special and you need to be [b;ah blah" and it can be true, but it's actually way deeper, more fundamental, and strictly unconscious. Probably arrested development from 3 to 6 or so. The person is not actually experiencing themselves as trying to be unique, or needing to be the mostest specialest coolest and most unique person in the room! Even if that's due to a lack of human characterists and complete emptiness. It's not conscious. It simply locks things in and prevents change, that's it. Because if you change you're losing yourself, being engulfed. And when you realize that everyone and everything is sexual, and that sex is what makes energy flow, an everyone is having sex except for you, and you are like 30 and so old now, then you realize you're more like a biological artificial intelligence and not quite a real person, an incomplete being. Then with awareness it all implodes and you spiral. Until you calm the mind enough to process and exit the loop, and have a bunch of mini seizures apparently. I like the idea of EEG guided biofeedback and actually very briefly did it way back in the day, but at present it isn't really for me. I would also mention the notion of structural dissociation and the Internal Family Systems model. The Hijacker may actually be a component of something that is trying to help you. It might think hurting you in this way will protect you from something worse elsewhere. It's just doing what it was conditioned to do. Good luck to everyone.

[@therichbuddha3277]

Amazing.

[@vl4394]

I should probably clarify. When I say I decided the male who replaced the role of my father (with respect to the mother) should die, this is to illustrate my conception of the situation. Not that I literally killed him or something... which on rereading was left ambiguous. He ultimately tried to smother my mother with a pillow, she called the police, he was removed. Up until this point I sort of had step siblings, then one day I came back from my father's and they were all just gone. Probably ~7-8. After this I only saw them once more, then never again.

Just one nightfall changes everything!😢😢 30+ days streak broke! On the day of nightfall i started abusing PMO again for 3 weeks straight!💔 starting no PMO again today is day-3 !!! Wish me luck🤞😞.

I slipped after 1 year 3 months. Now back on the track. This should be the last slip of my life.

[@richardsoderkvist6383]

Thank you Dr Trish for your very good advice. I find from experience l have to stay away from Social Media because they all these very voulupteous sexy women in very suggestive clothing like skin tight shorts bikinis things almost nude. Nine times out of ten it leads you right back to the pornograpphy movies films. Now on Social Media there are a lot of real nice heartwarming spiritual inspirational things Scripture verses poems sayings real nice stories of animals and people especially dogs helping each other a lot of real nice things but unfortunately these lustful dressed women are on there. So you just have to be careful sometimes if you feel strong enough you can look at all those real nice things then when you sence something lustful coming up just look the other way till it's gone. But a lot of the time it's best to stay away from Social Media as much as possible it really helps a lot.

[@nathanramos6685]

Agreed, only when I deleted my social media accounts and even took my phone out of my bedroom at night, was I able to start recovering
