In a very unexpected way, it kind of did mine. I never was interested in it, but also avoiding it made me too uninterested in any form of pleasure, that I rejected 100% of girls coming my way. Not sure if it "ruined my life" but making it taboo definitely took pleasure away from life.

Hey bro, I really appreciate you making this video. It takes a lot of self awareness to see an addiction in yourself, and a lot of self confidence and integrity to share that with others (especially on such a global platform). Porn, internet scrolling, mindless consumption, food, chemicals, work... addictions to these things do precisely what you said they do; they distract us from realizing it when our life trajectory is really, really wrong for us. I know this because I used drugs, alcohol, and sex to distract me from my ill-fitting and unhappy life for a long time. Now I've got a lot of insight gained from going g through that and coming out the other side, but I wish I hadn't spent so many years in the middle of it all. Thanks for your videos. You're a very admirable young man and, despite being much older than you, you teach me a lot. Keep doing what you're doing!

This is very true. I just want to also re-emphasize / add few things that helps me in my journey to recover fully: 1. This is the nature of mind. Not just porn, but the whole nature of mind is to wander, to seek distraction, to seek instant pleasure with hope of a future reward. Any time an urge pops up, I ask myself, do I want an instant pleasure or a disciplined mind ? 2. Like Dylan says, this is a game of entertainment. The whole entertainment industry works on telling engaging stories. And on sexual front those are usually the incest/ cheating / multiple person porn that brings a better story. Again we have to consciously choose everytime to be aware of this fact. 3. There is an amazing book called "Your Brain on Porn", that demystified the whole neurobiology and neurochemistry of addiction of human brain to porn. The most surprising thing that helped me get motivated is - Addiction neural pathways can change over time. That means, there is 100% hope to fully get our mind, brain, body on the right track. Sex is nature (mindful sex is even better) and pornography is nowhere close to nature. Thanks Dylan, for talking about this ! This is real strength.
@mosesmugaya4615 Жыл бұрын
2 weeks in, I'm not gonna lie, the urges are freaking relentless, I'm forcing myself to be really strong and not relapse... The epiphany moment came after realising porn and masturbation affect My social life to the point I don't even like girls anymore, like I don't even feel like talking to them or even asking them out or anything of that sort, porn literally ruined my social life for 7 years since I started watching at 15. I also realised it teaches guys to become cucks cause you watching another dude bang a chick's brains out, this automatically rewires your mind for developing a preference for sitting on the sidelines, teaching yourself to become a spectator in your own life rather than the manager and player (jugador). It may yet be the best decision I've ever made in my life. THANKS Dylan

I'm finding, walking away from "those films" is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I took it in due to a nearly sexless marriage. She cheated a lot (yes, I was an idiot for staying, but I also didn't know yet). Other men were getting what I wasn't from her. I stopped viewing some time in Nov. of '22, then watched a little here and there through Dec., then, went cold turkey in January (not as a "resolution"). Haven't watched any since. I threw myself into my conservation work, and don't miss watching it at all. Especially when you watch an interview with a former performer and hear what goes on "behind the scenes" for some actors. I won't contribute to that. Going "monk mode", is another challenge I'm undertaking. I'm disciplined with my diet, with my health/exercise, it's time to get disciplined in my carnal life.

No, bro, that's a coomer logic. Get your life together, then look for a woman worthy and capable of being a mother to your kids, get married and then have sex. Society has really lost its way on this, we always gotta have it the easy way, the way we want it not how it has worked for millennia and how it's supposed to be. As hard as it may look, it's not, prioritise purpose over short-term faux pleasure and you'll be more satisfied than whatever degenerate pleasure may offer you.
