Maybe you can share your experience? It’s really hard to get rid of it…

[@dsullivanation]

@@fedorloginov3150 Yes! It's just as addictive as sticking a needle filled with heroin in your veins. I was addicted to porn throughout most of my 20's and it took me at least 3 years to quit and to practice controlling my sexual energy. It's not just sacrificing a toxic addiction that one needs to focus on, it's also your inner willpower to give up the one thing someone enjoys that's causing them more pain than pleasure.

[@jpaul4820]

The fact that porn is available to anyone with an internet connection (to children!) is an absolute outrage and scandal. I discovered porn at 12 years old when my brain was still developing. Trying to rid myself of this poison everyday. Porn is destructive and harms people like a street drug. In a healthy society that cared about peoples' wellbeing it would never be accepted. Evil is everywhere folks. Be strong! We can do it 💪

[@jonathan3488]

I wish more people knew about this, you spoke extremely eloquently on the matter! There are a couple of approaches I that found extremely useful: 1. Recognizing the root problem. 2. Reading books - or every other action that requires long-term concentration. 3. Stopping the habit loop when recognizing triggers and replacing the habitual action with other actions that introduce similar rewards: going for a run, socializing, eating something. 4. Finding a new hobby, like learning a new language. 5. Avoiding social media, or at least manage its exposure and utilize it for your benefit. 6. Reminding yourself of the negative consequences of it and the reasons for quitting 7. Practicing mindfulness 8. Stop putting it on a pedestal - this is the lowest form of content possible, the "junk food" of the brain, you might even say.

I only recently got my first girlfriend and this is why I’m here. I never realized just how trained my brain was to porn and masturbating. We’ve had sex multiple times and I’ve never finished. I get her off quite easily but for myself? We’ve gone for several hours before and I haven’t felt remotely anything. This is why I’m here. Knowing that my brain is used to not only my hand getting me off, but also getting off to the site of other people having sex is super problematic and I urge people to quit porn IMMEDIATELY

How has your healing been so far? I have a similar situation where I realized I have conditioned myself to stimulus that a woman cannot give me so I can go on having sex for a long time without feeling its leading to orgasm. I am now attempting to abstain completely from masturbation to resensitize myself where as normally I would do it perhaps twice a week.

[@Neon1880]

@ so what I’ve noticed so far is just getting into the mindset of wanting to quit helped to bring some feeling back down there. But another factor was just getting more comfortable with my girlfriend. Currently, I get the hardest when around her compared to online photos. I still slip up sometimes but overall it’s much more under control than before

[@SynnyXX]

@Neon1880 Thanks for the info. I was indeed also thinking if being fully comfortable and relaxed or not was a factor and it appears it is. I am happy you have found ways that work and hope my next visit to her this coming weekend is gonna be different from the last one(fully abstaining from porn and masturbation currently).

[@svetoslaviliev6819]

I want to encourage everyone struggling out there that If I could've won this battle, then anyone can. I've started watching regularly around 16 and sunk incredibly low by age 25 where I was doing it for many hours on end. This then escaleted even more when I was trying to quit I was regularly doing atrocious relapses with 8/10/14+ hours of edging. But with the help of this angel and God I managed to fight back from that deep hole. After the last bad relapse I just gave an oath to my mother, father and God that this will be the last time I do this to myself... In my estimation it then took me 6 months of heavy abstinence symptoms almost daily. It was literally hell for me but I survived it. I had a lot of trauma and ongoing family issues, so perhaps not everyone is like that and could be better off. I just wish dr. Leigh was here a couple of years earlier when I was completely unaware of what I was doing to myself while blisfully edging almost daily.

[@LMP89]

Thank you for this explanation! It helped a lot! I discovered something else that causes porn addiction, since I know this I don’t want to do porn anymore, even when I’m emotional or stressed out and feel the urges. You are right that you changed your baseline by watching porn and it causes indeed problems with real sexual relationships. And I think most guys turn to porn and masturbation because they are afraid or know how unwanted rejection feels. Most men don’t know how to deal with that. Because guys want to form a relationship with what they think is a beautiful, sweet and intelligent woman (and this girl doesn’t have to be real either! It could be a fantasy or a woman that you don’t know but see every day), but if they get rejected it’s most of the time the woman that does this to him and its “only” because of her feelings. Her feelings are illogical and men don’t know how to deal with that. Because her feelings are illogical, often she can’t explain why she rejects him. It triggers in the guys mind al kinds of emotion like sadness, frustration, anger and stress because they make the mistake by wanting to solve it or thinking they are not good enough. But you can’t solve somebody’s opinion and feelings and her opinion of you doesn’t say anything, trust me I know😊 But the only way and rule for us men is: accept her feelings, respect her thoughts, wish her the best (and you must mean it), let go and move on. Then do introspection (read: journaling, and all activities except for porn and masturbation and chasing her or another woman) and get back to form real relationships in real life!(When you are very young, you don’t have problems with making friends because you don’t have a lot of complex thoughts. It’s the quality and complexity of your thoughts that causes the addiction). Besides that, it’s called porn addiction, but if you deal with this, I think you are addicted to only masturbation because that is the thing that is regulating your mood, not the porn. Porn is harmful because something else. First, masturbation is harmful when you are just using it to regulate and coping with your mood. If you do that all the time you waste your energy (literally) on touching yourself. But the urge of wanting to masturbate is actually the right feeling to have, because you can use that “pain” and “almost uncontrollable energy” to form new connections, to work-out, to read, to do social things without sex. For me I started to have less brainfog and I could find more and better words to speak with and to people. My axienty went away and I remembered more of my day (because I used that energy for all kinds of things during the day that were not Porn or Masturbation). Second, porn is actually not that addictive in my opinion, because I think you can’t like porn if you can’t masturbate to it. Try to watch porn only to see porn. It’s no fun and actually boring. I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this. It’s the masturbation that makes it very excited. Porn is harmful (also when you just looking at it without masturbating) because it makes you less aroused when you are having real sex. Real sex is then not that exciting anymore, even when she is just beautiful and very sexual and everything a guy wants in a woman. I found this out when I first had sex with somebody I really liked, I had to force myself to focus on her and our connection. Then it dawned on me that if I hadn’t use porn, I could easily have great and intimate sex with her. I immediately quit porn and masturbation all together, and I told her that I was struggling with this. I asked her to have sex with me when she wants to for a whole year, because I need to reset my baseline. Now I considering myself healthy because I synched with her sexual needs and moments. I’m very grateful for her. ❤

Hey man I’m on the same page but you always have to stay hopeful and strong that one day you’ll be able to free yourself. Just keep trying new things and never quit. You got this bro today is day 1 for me let’s conquer this!

Just don't do it to porn, it's OK to masturbate every now and then but dont look at porn while doing it

[@keithwoodards2961]

Yes it is possible cuz I had this addiction for a long time since my teens and I'm 37th and I haven't watched porn for 6 years and been practicing semen retention for 2 years and I been with my wife going on 20y , don't think you can't do , the first thing is to I ament the problem and work on yourself mentally and spiritually and physically , God blessed us forever

[@anassradi25]

I could feel a lot of significant life-changing improvements after quiting this nocive addiction! Without any exaggeration🥰

[@sarahwright6170]

I'm almost a year porn free and the temptation has been worse than ever this week. Reminding myself all the reasons I've quit and trying to research why it's so difficult right now, like maybe my brain hasn't really yet recovered.

There's more to life. The person who is always searching for tranquility will never find it, even if every single thing else is right. The act of searching prevents you from finding it.

[@spencerahrendts7778]

I was on day 6 feeling like a true champion I slipped then and the next day. I’m re committed but I’m scared I will slip or worse relapse.

[@DrTrishLeigh]

Make sure you adjust your recovery plan accordingly! Understand what you let fall through to let the slip happen and make sure you have plans put in place to prevent the same thing from happening again!

I hear ya bro but at the same time we as men should be chasing our purpose and fun hobbies more to the point we don’t even notice them that often

[@Black-Eyed-Crow]

It has nothing to do with females. You can get any female you want. Yet once you are deep in porn. None of these females would ever beat porn.

[@getgot3461]

Women don't owe you their bodies as a cum dump, especially when women have a lot to lose while engaging with men sexually. Practice self control and invest in hobbies instead of putting your problems on women

[@camusik5673]

hi, so what should i do ?

[@serendipitouscomet]

I’m not going to lie. I don’t think there’s a way to recover if you started your addiction at an early age. You just have to trudge forward and endure in life. What I’m starting to realize is that there’s no way to escape accountability for the choices of your past- even if you were too young to grasp the consequences when you were making them.

[@DrTrishLeigh]

There absolutely is a way to recover! It may not seem possible right now, but I've helped many people recover with all levels of addiction. Hope is never lost! If you want more help, I'm here drtrishleigh.com

[@engineco.1494]

I work in the fire service, after traumatic experiences and bad calls I have started experiencing decreased arousal or a couple of times complete dysfunction, it does pass after a few days and my wife is very understanding about it. My question is is there anything you recommend that may help. I gave up watching porn over a year ago.

do you think we can fully recover from it? no matter how young and how much we have consumed it?

[@thehiddenwarrior354]

Dr. Trish, my recent issue is I can’t watch porn without smoking dokha (Arabian tobacco in a pipe) at the same time. This is really hurting me coz I’m not a smoker naturally but I have to combine the two for a brief sense of “reality” - I’m really falling and I’m genuinely scared.

[@DrTrishLeigh]

This is definitely an addictive cycle and is something many struggle with! If you need help, I'm here drtrishleigh.com

[@mattewlefty991]

So Dr. what are the steps of a porn addiction recovery? Not watching ok.. should I stop completely masturbating too? Or just having fantasies about porn is the problem?
