The Addiction That Destroyed Kanye West's Life

[@NoirNameless]

It’s really sad just how much pron addiction isn’t spoken on man. There’s boys/men who are ruined by it, really. It’s even sadder when you realize the companies who make it study how to make it more addictive. Same with food and drugs since all 3 have the same effect on your brain. It’s such a problem, and anybody trying to fight any addiction will always have my support Bruh, fr.

[@ether49]

Sex/porn addiction isnt actually a thing. It can be a compulsion but not an addiciton, they are two very different things. Theres been quite a bit of study on this, with addictions like drugs and gambling when the addict sees the subject of addiction their brain activity spikes and they get excited. With sex/porn compulsion the opposite happens, with the brain activity lowering. Additionally the sex/porn compulsion isnt its own issue but always is a symptom of something else like depression or anxiety and if that is treated it goes away while addiction is its own disease specifically. Also the majority of people who describe themselves as porn addicts actually use porn an average amount with no harm on their external life and instead believe show because of shame. I would recommend read the studies done on this topic because they all show that porn addiction does not exist. The goal of treatment for these people is to get them to have a normal relationship with porn and sex tbat does not stress themselves or others while with drugs or gambling the goal is to get them to stop forever and never touch it again

Pron addiction is not a game similar to any other addiction. It can quite literally ruin your life if it gets completely out of control, and clouds your understanding of reality when it comes to women and intimacy. It's kind of understanding why Kanye went down the path he did in regards to marrying Kim.

[@user-cl5kj7oq6y]

It’s completely normal to be attracted to naked images of the opposite sex. The problem arises when young people fall for neo liberal propaganda designed to make them feel bad for being young and promiscuous. So they seek fulfilment through pron. There is a reason the late 90s was full of divorce, and it’s because the youth of the 80s faced the exact same culture they face now. It’s not about creating happy family units, it’s about keeping people locked into our debt based systems and making sure they don’t flee for greener pastures during periods of economic depression.

The good thing about this addiction is that it’s relatively easier to stay sober when compared to other addictions, the hard part is getting there. And you’ll probably have to learn how to avoid certain words or images. I know a guy who won’t walk by a Victoria secret, or watch a sex scene in a movie. While that might be extreme for many, it’s what he needs. But unlike chemical drugs your brain is not actually dependent on pornography. It IS as real an addiction as any of those but chemically it’s different. Meaning that once you break free, your brain can actually go back to how it was before, with time. Good luck my friend. Remember not to shame spiral. Look that up. If you relapse. It’s ok, it’s going to happen. You’ll get there. It’s good to feel a little disappointed when you relapse but don’t be ashamed because you are human.

I'm sure porn addiction is a real thing, but is it separate from sex addiction or the same? And is it separate from mania, or an extension of mania?

He's not getting the help or medication he needs and this has been obvious for years now.

As someone who has had an on and off again addiction to porn since 11, my best advice is this; don't let it get to you. Dont let it consume your life, there are so many better ways to waste your time than watching porn, and frankly more effective ways to do so. As someone who was heavily introverted and had essentially no social skills as a kid, due to my porn addiction, I had to learn to live without, which frankly is the best thing a person can do. The best thing that has helped me with my porn addiction is learning to play an instrument, its an amazing hobby that has such a positive impact on me emotionally. Try something new y'all, dont stay in the house all day, and if so, find something better to do with yourself

You’re doing first thing and that’s being open about what’s happening. Firstly, no one is judging you despite how terrible you feel. We live in a hyper-sexualized culture that has been manipulating the media over the past thirty years, grooming all of us to accept this as normal. Believe me, you can’t go anywhere without something pornographic popping up. There is hope, though! Jesus loves you and loves you no matter how crummy you feel.

One thing I dont like to call it is an addiction because it is not in the DSM-5 , because when I don’t partake in those activities, when I CAN’T, I don’t go through withdrawals the way an addict does.

[@xqrsss]

@@bassmankilla9352 Lmao!

[@joelman1989]

It’s crazy that I’ve never noticed or heard anything about this but it’s right in front of us.

[@MrVpk6]

It make sense why he had Kim wearing all source of outfits. Same thing with his new wife he had her wearing all source of exotic stuff

[@anonemoose8564]

All sorts*

[@juju-vl7oj]

What’s your addiction? Is it money, is it girls , is it weed? I’ve been afflicted By not 1, not 2, but all 3 She’s got the same thing About me , but more about us She’s coming over So I guess that means I’m her drugs Just let me peak now I mean damn I’m so curious She’s got a lover So the lies and the lust is a rush Times of the essence I need you to be spontaneous Roll up the doja Henny and Coca-Cola Then I’m coming over Cause it’s never over Chorus: Why everything that’s supposed to be bad make me feel so good? Everything they told me not to is exactly what I would. I tried to stop man I tried the best I could But.. you make me smile. Lyrics like these exemplify why Kanye means so much to people. In interviews and on songs he’s so uniquely himself yet so relatable.. He basically says to the world this is who I am and this is how I feel and I know it’s unpopular or not ok to say publicly or else people will think I am bad or weird but I’m gonna say it anyway… and we may not always agree or relate to his life or thoughts specifically yet we can empathize. I learned a lot about empathy being a Kanye fan, you know at times he’s hurting and may not do or say the right thing but you’re willing to try to understand or may actually understand because what he’s saying hits home. I’m guessing for the people who don’t like him can’t relate or just forget that bigger picture that he’s a human like the rest of us that just happens to be great at expressing himself through art that’s mainstream and popular.

[@andresciahooten9598]

That just goes to show you that even though Kim Kardashian was so beautiful. That wasn’t enough to stop Kanye’s addiction. Nor was it able to stop him from cheating on her

[@Nodsbane]

Interesting to hear that he foretold his life with Kim because I'm learning about visualizing and manifesting which is basically what he was doing there.

[@kaushitwakafidi]

His actually one of the best examples (when it comes to artists) of manifestation and speaking things into existence, just listen to his first 5 albums. Dude literally created his reality with the things he said

[@SneakySteevy]

Addictions are anything used to regulate our emotions instead of regulate them by ourselves with emotional intelligence. Gabor Matte has a lot to say about it. _Emotional Intelligence (EI) is about understanding and managing your own emotions, and recognizing and influencing others' emotions. It helps you make better decisions, handle stress, control impulses, stay motivated, understand people better, and build stronger relationships. EI is key for good communication, empathy, and handling social situations effectively._

[@Historicutuber]

yeah its really really sad to see this happen. I remember when I myself used to watch it like a whole lot everyday....its just not healthy

[@jsogman]

At first I thought this was going to be about his addiction to being controversial for the sake of being controversial

[@matthewsengendo6302]

The porn addiction is worse than the one for Controversy sadly

[@MrEOM41]

Same

[@SecondPlaceMusic]

This is an important video, it shows the dangers of what a lot of people view as a harmless activity. This dark habit leads to self doubt, self destruction, and will destroy relationships. Thank God that freedom can be found through Christ. Like Kanye I was gripped by this addiction from an early age, but. Christ gave me freedom in adulthood and I can honestly say that I am no longer a slave to this dark master of p*rnography. James 4:7-8 “Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

[@101iswhatsup]

This is rough. He just announced a pron venture. I feel for Ye, he's very conflicted. He's admitted it's problematic for him, yet he's going to promote it. That's almost like a drug dealer selling crack to their fam. This is the thing the bible speaks of. When you clean house, you gotta keep the door closed. 1 leaves and returns with 7, the state of a man is worse than before.

[@bombshellpaige]

The way you pronounced the word “awry” is absolutely unhinged.

[@Avboyyy]

2 Timothy 2:22 “But flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” You must run from lust. Look at it like this. There’s been more times you’ve felt disgusted after masturbation vs satisfaction. God bless 🙏🏾

[@irraoclair6353]

Yeah it’s sad to see it. I just pray God continue to bless him.

[@Zackadeles]

This seems especially evident after reading Julia Fox's autobiography lol

[@trvf7053]

Definitely can relate, sex and porn addiction is real bro. I’m victim to it.

[@NunoFilipe99]

Same here. Been clean since january 1st

[@jimraynor4383]

Watching this as a 24-year-old virgin loser, I can see how having sex isn't a thing that can fix your pornography addiction. It is very unhealthy but for some reason, I can't get away from it. The media normalizes sex work and the Internet makes it impossible to block yourself from accessing porn...

[@banannamobbs]

Nothing about his adoration of head of the Nazi party or his uncle ruckus antics?

[@angel_of_rust]

doesn't help that onlyfans is normalized

[@terribleterri2738]

Hypersexuality in general, especially since it's being pushed on the youth.

[@tomblaze2]

He is also addicted to actual drugs/alcohol as well

[@fragle3676]

Noticed we sometimes idolize people but realize that is art showing you what not to be by letting a”star” be it.

[@swankmank]

hypersexuality is a symptom of bipolar mania, also psychotic delusions are too... people like to forget that

[@Herr_Brechmann]

Its faulty logic though. Just because you porn addicted you also Bipolar, and they love to stick him with this tag. Do you know who also recives tags like "Mentally ill" or "Psychotic"? People that aint going with mainstream, look at Dave Chapell just for example. It sickens me you people have to tell yourself the same Mantras to enforce your Bias towards something because you cant articualte what acutally makes you mad.

[@ItsYaBoi888]

Thanks for the description doctor 😂

[@KellyAesop]

I for one enjoy dangerous freedom. Too much of anything can kill someone. Just control yourselves.

[@TTTTTTTTT853]

The fact that you had to censor the Alex Jones show speaks volumes... Also he's worst addiction is the addiction of proving people wrong.

[@resonancetides7196]

This addiction is not a joke, i know, what i say...😒😔

[@Greg.Lacoste]

this was a really good video, thanks for the care and research that was put into it. Praying for him

[@heatherboreland5018]

Then y'all want to blame kim for leaving

[@dripp_dropp]

@@heatherboreland5018love you sick love you well til death do us part.

[@ballstickler2762]

and then another one entered the ring

[@frostiegerb4484]

Now seeing this just makes me sad about ye’s new album, because on JiK and Donda he found himself and it was good music, but now I feel like ye is going back down the TLOP or 808s trail, I hope ye eventually finds his religion again and stays fixed

[@jayc5756]

WOW!!! Never realized it...even though he says it all the time. Mann, learn something new every day. Interesting

[@forwardthinkingforum13]

This makes me feel so bad for Ye 🥺

[@reyjdl14]

I don’t think we’ll get anything meaningful from Kanye ever again in regards to music. So sad. His psychiatric conditions are so far gone.

[@saintkevinofficial]

I agree

[@ZonymaUnltd.]

People gotta pray for Ye, and anyone else fighting these demons.

[@walidamaan4099]

Kanye, everybody and me. It is possible to get out of such an ocean current. How? By combined action of us all at once. Talking and learning more about it and devising a solution that could permannetly rub out not only this addiction but also any other existing. 🔥

[@loading.]

Just watched "Jeen-Yuhs", definitely recommend it

[@spacebasely]

Ya’ll coppin’ em Yeezy Pods or what? Imma wait for the Pods2

[@jaded_asf]

save ye

[@kywitklass3794]

Everyone has one form.of addiction or the other. Small addiction , dangerous addiction, silly addictions, unknown addictions, phone addiction and the list goes on. So long the addiction isn't life threatening to anyone, then it is what it is, a simple pleasure of life that makes us human. Let he who has no form of addiction cast the first stone. By the way eating and watching movies till late can also become an uncontrollable habit that become addictions.

[@LowLeyeF311]

it takes a lot of courage to admit that... I been addicted to porn since 10 years old cuz my mom had a cable vision hot box

[@Heyimnothere45]

The elements that destroyed Kanye: The Lexus crash Donda's passing Opioids Bipolar A Kardashian Need I say more?

[@blazedonakayak5294]

Why everything thats supposed to be bad make me feel so good?

[@officialstbones]

The fact he accomplished so much with this addiction says a lot about his incredible talent. Imagine how further he would’ve gone without it

[@otac_leopard]

wow, this video made me look at kim a lot differently. I thought she was the only bad guy for the divorce (except kanyes bipolar outbursts)

[@Raishyum]

Save Ye 🙏

[@imdoingokay]

Kanye is a national treasure. Protect him.

[@Prockski]

🤔

[@saqib7965]

[@KyleBeatz]

That part. I may disagree with Kanye but I respect him.

[@cluckcluckchicken]

crazy how we can't even SAY THE WORD while discussing it as a serious addiction. like how people say "unalive" all the time, even when discussing death seriously. I know it's just youtube's rules/algorithm, but it's still ridiculous. this censorship has gotten out of control.

[@xp7575]

It's not just YT it's capitalism, YT enforces all the censorship because corporations won't pay to advertise on vids discussing sensitive subjects

[@jaggerlags]

God it’s crazy to see him speak coherently, great actually but sad- back in the day was different. It’s too bad he’s always angry and victim framing now.

[@carbiv]

Great video.

[@d_c05]

And now Kanye is trying to make a porn branch, using his addiction for profit. It’s so sad
