    I was a porn addict since I was 10 years old. Decades of addiction later and I’m free of that bondage. Pardon the pun! I went through hell as I was using drugs alongside viewing porn so could binge for 24 hours straight. I lost 2 wives and several jobs due to my addiction. I got clean with the use of psychedelics, intense psychosexual therapy and going to SAA meetings. Trying to quit watching porn has been the hardest battle I’ve ever had to fight. I still relapse every now and then. But I learn so much from each one. I am still in awe that the most potent drug I’ve ever been hooked on is free to literally anyone with an internet connection.
    This presentation is so thorough and so relevant right now. I can relate to all of it. Thank you for bringing your light into this world. And good luck to anyone out there struggling in secret with this.

    Thanks for beginning with a compassionate overview of why people watch porn. Many of us go there because we fantasise about love, affection, touch and acceptance and are too inhibited by our fears to negotiate for those things in real life. Porn became an almost 30yr addiction for me because of this.

    I recently quit for about a month and it felt amazing and honestly like the whole addiction "never happened" I was just living life and I started getting temptations and I remember willingly choosing to do it because I thought I could just kick the habit again. It's funny because I've quit so many things, cigarettes, THC, alcohol, caffeine so if there's anything I have experience in, it's knowing what it feels like to quit an addiction. Especially the common addict trap of "rewarding" myself with the thing I just quit (ie having a cigarette for not smoking for 2 weeks)
    Then another trick I use to justify impulsive behavior is saying "relapse is part of recovery" and while that is true overall, it's a tool to lie to myself
    One thing I'm realizing is I get caught up on separate addictions , and always quitting this or that but there has to be something deeper. Why am I not satisfied with just how I feel? Why do I always need something compulsive to fulfill me? Coffee? Cigarettes? P*rn? Alcohol?
    I think there is a direct link to the "inner child" concept. Because despite my adult age I often realize I am a scared child who is scared of being alone, inside, that is...
    Somewhere along the line I got stuck in an adolescent mind and I have to approach adulthood like it's a field of education to study and examine

Honestly, it took so long to recover from the distortion and shame I experienced during that relationship. I allowed him to take so much of what should have been sacred to me; my sexual energy and my spirit along with it. I kind of hate him for that. Peace.

    I think this is a very good video containing invaluable information to learn and or empower to address habits or understand behaviours or both. Humbly and respectfully, I offer that Dr. Snipes’ very low cut, cleavage revealing attire, could be a trigger to people struggling with a porn addiction. I’m not trying to be a prude or oppressive, just my two bits. The video didn’t make a judgement but I will, porn is probably the most destructive thing to one’s health, relationships, in addition to destroying the foundations of families, and society.

    Quick question, do you know if Naltrexone or Naloxone have been shown to be beneficial in people with hypersexuality or OCD regarding sex?

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  6 місяців тому +2

      Naltrexone, a medication typically used to reverse opioid overdoses, has been found to have some interesting effects on the brain's reward system that could potentially be beneficial for individuals struggling with hypersexuality or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) related to sex.
      How Naltrexone Works:
      1. Blocks Endogenous Opioids: Naltrexone has been found to block the endogenous opioids in our brain. These are the chemicals that give us a sense of reward or pleasure when we engage in certain activities, such as eating, exercising, or sexual behavior.
      2. Reduces Reward Sensation: By blocking these endogenous opioids, naltrexone can reduce the sense of reward or pleasure that an individual gets from engaging in certain behaviors. This could potentially help individuals who are struggling with hypersexuality or OCD related to sex by making these behaviors less rewarding and therefore less compelling.
      Potential Benefits of Naltrexone:
      1. Reduced Compulsion: If the sexual behaviors are less rewarding, the individual may feel less compelled to engage in them. This could potentially help to reduce the frequency of these behaviors and the distress that they cause.
      2. Increased Control: By reducing the sense of reward, naltrexone could potentially help individuals to gain more control over their behaviors. This could be particularly beneficial for individuals with OCD, who often struggle with feelings of being out of control.
      However, it's important to note that while these potential benefits are promising, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of naltrexone on hypersexuality and OCD related to sex. As always, individuals should consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

    There were many important things you said in this video that changed my perspective on things. It's good to know I'm not a compulsive sex fiend or addicted to anything, and pornography use is fairly normal. Especially the information on how the brain translates erotic stimuli.
    However, I disagree with the "self-confidence or body-image issues or issues with prowess" aspect of why some people do not "engage" in sexual encounters, and use pornography.
    This implies that simply "engaging" in social contact will automatically result in sex-- which, given the videos you've made on the difficulties of finding relationships & dealing with rejection & failure, sounds very naive.
    The only place people randomly happenstance into sex with ease-- is porn. There are countless people who actively try to find sexual partners & fail, for years. Think about it: most people don't want to have sex with strangers, much less become "hang out at each other's houses & go to dinner" friends with strangers, and not all hobbies or interests gravitate towards sexual relationships-- war history for example.
    This implies the emotions behind this "fantasy relationship" type of pornography use is just a simple life choice at the click of a button, with no history of abject failure at attempted romance.
    It implies this pornography use is not an ultimatum between porn; masturbation without porn; pursuing sex with a morbidly obese/ugly person (who requires an intimate relationship or a trusting friendship with many shared interests); spending $300-800/hour on a prostitute; or a life of celibacy without masturbating. Some people are so broken up by this, they spend hundreds of dollars a month on webcam girls who talk to them-- these webcam girls have boyfriends off camera they don't talk about, because they get more money by not bringing it up.
    There was a major theme of underplaying the emotional factors at play through this "replacing real relationships with fantasy porn relationships" type of use throughout the entire video.
    One thing I would like this to have covered, is if pornography causes you anger.
    Case in point: I get very angry more than 90% of the time whenever I see "regular" straight pornography (say one man, one woman, regular sex, story doesn't matter). This is the thought that goes through my head: "Oh look, another girl who would never have sex with me, having sex with a guy whom I have nothing in common with-- and getting paid for it. Why the fuck would I want to watch this?? She's NEVER going to have sex with me. Why the fuck would I even want to touch these women?"
    Then I think about how gross a girl who's had sex with her boyfriend 100X is, and think about my negative experiences with women going back to 12-- am 30 now, never had a girlfriend, and I've had far more negative experiences with attractive women than positive due to my high-functioning autism-- and start spiraling into enmity, and my enjoyment of what I was watching goes away and I am in a bad mood. I can't watch pornography or masturbate much anymore because of this, sex has been ruined for me.
    I've been in therapy for over a year and have improved a lot, but I still find that almost every woman-- the exceptions prove the rule-- requires an inflated sum of money, goods or services in exchange for sex no matter what the situation is. Even in the "kink" community, where sex is supposed to be handed out like candy, this is true. The women who are into "kink", going off my two years on fetlife, still require the man have access to expensive tools & a private dungeon & a hotel room & the ability to take days off to plan around her schedule, unless she's very fat or ugly-- the exceptions prove the rule. This doesn't have anything to do with "money" like a prostitute, but if you don't already have all the things money can buy, she's not interested in "fulfilling her fantasies" with you, because she has a "special kink", and doesn't feel "safe" with you, but feels safe with this other guy who Does have a private dungeon.

    Now , I don't know but I am sharing this thinking it may help me a bit in any way possible . I got addicted to porn when i was quite young , and i guess i was very active and i couldn't control my urges. I think something might have triggered me . I usually watch static porn and imagine them being my partner because deep down all i want is love , to be loved . I am still trying to get over with this so i can live freely and become the version of me thats best for myself .

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching the video. Addiction is the continued use of a substance, person or activity to eliminate or escape from discomfort despite experiencing negative consequences from use.
      In the past, the person struggling with the addiction:
      -spent more time or money than intended obsessing about, getting, using and recovering from the substance or behavior
      -tried unsuccessfully to quit
      -experienced repeated health, mental health, relationship, financial, employment or legal issues as a result of use
      Addiction are a creative way to a problem when all else has failed
      Note: It’s important to address all addictive behaviors & prevent substitute addiction.

    You should also address arousal escalation, for example my ex boyfriend went from heterosexual porn to watch transexual porn and gay porn, may be he had been this way all the time I don't know, or maybe he consumed porn this much and it got to the point he needed the extra stuff.

      I’d think the porn led him astray. Without the porn I would bet he would not have went that way. But somehow he viewed it (the non hetero stuff), probably as a ‘feed! Then perhaps looked more and more.
      Porn is bad no matter what anybody says.
