Doctor, don't listen to the haters--you are exactly right, you promote solutions!

[@thetruther954]

Tell me more. Did stopping masturbation cure your erectile dysfunction?

[@ronstan3064]

Correct. You promote Resources. The same thing that a Pastor, Coach , or Missionary would provide. Resources to get the help you need.

Hi Dr Trish! You are amazing! Thank you for all the podcasts

[@mrScififan2]

Two very wise people. Thank you for having the courage to talk about these difficult topics!

[@DrTrishLeigh]

I appreciate it!

[@guygeorgesvoet4177]

This was a very good, truthfull and authentically ethical conversación. It's this side, this overall truthfullness of your communication that sustains me and makes me come here over and over, more deeply, to this same saving truth. It is the truth that will set us free, not some trick. So, thank You, really. All the best to You both.

[@seamusconlan9673]

Smart phone addiction also damages your brain and every 10 year old has a smart phone. In the real world for many people there's no avoiding smart phones, prescription drugs, junk food, porn, toxic relationships, soul destroying jobs the list goes on. Porn addiction like any other addiction is just a symptom of a much deeper problem the world has yet to come to terms with. If porn and porn addiction was eradicated tomorrow it would be instantly replaced by something else.

[@Samir-kz8gb]

Well said man!

[@abishekratheesh8731]

You are spot on

[@ja9pwnw119]

Thanks Dr trish 7 days still going i went to the supermarket today and almost had a trigger but looked away to stay focused but was really tough then many hours later I had crippled symptoms wanting more of that one glance I took. Everything you say is true thankyou very much. Please could you explain which muse headband is best for someone like me with a p*rn addiction .as there are three on the market Much appreciated Dr Trish .

[@ja9pwnw119]

Sean you know su much but phone addiction is not a thing surely

[@eddyc8900]

Actually I think all of that can be avoided. Apart from smartphones.

[@awsambdaman]

22:50 sir you are exactly right. My wife ALWAYS knows same day if I’ve slipped up. She always knows it’s crazy honestly how perceptive and in tune with me she is

Thank you Dr Trish & Zack for telling us the truth 🤞🏼❤

Thank you very much for NOT having interrupting commercials

[@thebluetrucker]

Doctor Trish, would you please talk more about how fantasy becomes an issue. Does fantasy stimulate dopamine????

[@arvindp551]

You know what...watching you guys talk is actually Serotonin-producing.

[@zeal4god402]

Pornography emphasizes the visual over everything else, while leaving out other pivotal sexual elements. Pornography is showcasing a partial/corrupt/incomplete perspective of sex, while real sex with a real person you are holistically connected to, brings the best and most complete sex

[@tejmahal7012]

Adding to what you are saying: -Most porn scenes are filmed over the course of hours, then cut into a 10 to 30 min selection of herculean fucking - All the male actors are popping boner pills It gives a completely unrealistic expectation to both men and women about how the male should be performing. Porn scenes need to be considered on the same level as action movies depicting violence and guns - completely unrealistic and over the top version of how it happens in real life.

[@Mklpfn]

8:59 Everyone who are experts on “sex” also know that doing “crazy things” have a planning and preparation, because a random situation can cause awkward things to happen , this things are not exclusively to pleasure someone or thinking like a trade, is awful , “my partner pleasure is my pleasure” that’s something you won’t listen from the toxic people that have this mentality of “I found my true love”

[@dylanacquahcornelius5023]

Doctor you are Heaven sent no cap

[@Mklpfn]

9:21 That makes sense 👍 Don’t watch porn expecting to being an expert rather than pleasure your self But If someone already understands about planning, then watching porn is not the problem The problem is ingenuity, that is the cause of taking bad decisions on everything else

[@nailyoug]

This is THE REAL DEAL HOLLYFIELD I need to do this program. Just like I do AA.

[@jasonsager6535]

My question is this Dr. Trish. Do these porn performers realize the damage they cause to people who view or have viewed porn? Do they themselves suffer from some of the same issues that the people who view it do? I myself am porn free, 5 months and I am a completely different person, so much happier and free. I give God the glory for helping me get rid of this horrible bondage.

[@dpalmer1557]

Former porn actors are on youtube. Talk about how they dont feel love....

[@zackcarter8557]

Fight the New Drug has a bunch of videos of former porn performers explaining how they got into the industry and their views of the industry. It is often tied to trauma, drug use, and sex trafficking. This is not always the case but is very common. Great job on the 5 months sober! That is a big deal!

[@jasonsager6535]

@@zackcarter8557 thank you Zack I appreciate that. If I knew how much more freed up I am I would've given it up sooner or tried to anyway. I was a slave to it, that's for sure.

[@fredferd2649]

what damage is that?

[@ja9pwnw119]

​@@jasonsager6535 you are so lucky its been a year since. How is it going now did you struggle or feel the need?

[@algomez04]

Question…does watching a video of you and your partner the same?

[@ja9pwnw119]

I feel a whole lot better not watchinv it and my foxus and attention and iq was really low. I. Know this because i was the worst in my class. I can feel myself having more energy and feeling better but it feels like a hidden demon lusting inside me thats missing something by not watching porn i hope this feeling will go away. I can honestly say dr my new dopamine rush is crosswords and and brain focus exercises and games which keeps me busy and gives me a nice hit.

[@seamusconlan9673]

Zack seems like a lovely guy and says that his wife trusts him and that you can't put a price on that. But apparently she doesn't trust him enough or he doesn't trust himself enough to use his own personal computer without the use of software blocking technology to eliminate any possibility of porn use. Does this mean that all his personal devices smart phone etc will have to be similarly blocked into the future?

[@nickmoor]

It’s better to have the safeguards in place and not need them than to not have them and need them

[@zackcarter8557]

Hey Seamus, this is Zack! It is more that I feel like I still need the blocks in my life to stay sober. However, I am working toward not needing them in the future. And yes all my devices are blocked currently.

[@kennycotto3749]

@@zackcarter8557 may I ask you what software you use?

[@seamusconlan9673]

@@zackcarter8557 Hi Zack, Just want to wish you all the best porn's a hard habit to break and I can appreciate that more then most having used it for 30+ years I'm fully aware of all the down sides. I don't feel shame about my porn use just sad that I wasted so many good years lost and trapped in fantasy and unable to escape it's hold over me. So stay strong and live a real life not a numbed out one. Take good care.

[@Mklpfn]

8:53 The easiest argument Does that mean that love movies also had you in the same “ high expectations” things Like making you think that you are a protagonist of a story

[@ja9pwnw119]

Yes avoid and look away or you will have to unwire all again

[@seb5587]

Dr Trish please make a video about the consequences of combining weed and masturbation. Is it as detrimental as PMO?

[@tejmahal7012]

Great question - i have asked it in a few forums as no channel talks about this. I will speak about my own experience - yes, adding weed to the equation is detrimental. Its another external stimulus that causes a dopamine hit and amplifies postive sensations. Along with food tasting better, anyone that has smoked weed and then jerked off or had sex can say orgasms are better. Just like watching porn and masterbating, if you smoke and jerk off, you will link those together and not be able to get hard or orgasm the same way with out it. I developed a habit of smoking/fap/porn for about 3 years. I realized porn was a problem and cut it out, while maintaining fap/smoking. I realized i needed to smoke before having sex to be able to perform. Then i cut out smoking and realized i needed to go on no fap to fully cure pied. Been about 4 months now no smoking, porn and minimal fap. Currently on 49 day no fap and feeling like i am close to "cured" Fortunate thing about weed is you can quit cold turkey and get it out of your system in a month. If you are going to chose to do any drug, weed is unequivally the best one, better than prescriptions or alcohol. But to answer your question - yes, smoking weed while fapping will create a co dependency and affect your ability to have sex when not smoking. If you are going to smoke weed, do no fap or have sex while high or you will become dependent on it. (This is based on everything i have read about weed effects on dopamine combimed with my own personal experience of smoking + pmo)

[@dpalmer1557]

Get better pot, Stoners are not sex addicts.

[@joaquin3768]

Leave behind mstrbtion and weed ! You will feel better. Not inmediatly but time will be the healing component part

[@georgecurly5965]

If a woman is addicted to harlequin romance, is that a porn addiction? And what should her husband do if he catches her reading it or fantasising about the "hot" guy on the cover. And what damage does that do to the female brain?

[@awsambdaman]

Definitely not okay for her to do that

[@lawrencenykyforak7231]

What about artists who paint nudes ...are they addicted....what about medical doctors male and female who see the nudes body daily ...are these people all addicts..

[@tromboneman4517]

Likely not. And if they are it has little to do with that.

Hey Dr Zack. Tell me why I should watch this. You must be an expert on women's issues.

[@iibrahxm]

Is ASMR in the same category as porn ? Especially if it gives some sort of intimacy feeling ?

[@josiahslate7374]

Not really, your not watching nude people and the dopamine that comes from watching is monumentally less than porn, though I would stay away from it, especially because it seems to be a gateway to porn. However if you are able to use it as a substitute for porn without getting triggered, by all means do that to ween yourself off.

[@lawrencenykyforak7231]

Isn't porn sex part of the beta programing system

[@pattytheseeker8902]

Dr. Trish, your videos are wonderful! I believe the reason so many people stay in the screen is insecurities. The longer you live in the screen, the worse it gets. You feel so sexually inadequate at the same time as you're trying to convince yourself that you're this sexy beast that doesn't exist. I wish the word performance was never tied to having sex. So many people would rather mastubate instead of having sex because of anxiety. It leads to so many problems in every part of your life.

[@Maximus25N]

I really would like to sign up for the coaching but I can’t afford it. I’ve been a porn addict for almost 30 years, starting a very young age, when I found my parents porn. There’s just no hope.

[@Maximus25N]

@blake1177 oh would I. Thanks

[@Maximus25N]

@blake1177 unfortunately it’s a drug that is free and available, so telling an addict they would soon stop if they had to pay for it, really doesn’t serve a purpose in a world where they DON’T have to pay for it. What is your point ? Your input doesn’t offer any solution to the problem

Guys never ever take advice from a woman about men's things. You're being taught to expect lame boring lay still sex in exchange for a partner (woman) who has nothing else to offer. VALUE YOURSELF expect good sex ! You're not doing something wrong by expecting to actually enjoy sex at YOUR standard not hers

Oh please I just tolerated 36 years if lame sex. This man i married? Porn addict, Did not improve his bedroom game. Most porn addicts are LAME IN BED, WHY? Its all about their pleasure .
