We reallly need to talk moreeeee about this. I appreciate ya work sir
Totally agree man! I've struggled with porn since I was a teen (30 now). It is so uncomfortable to talk about, but it shouldn't be. We are only human
for the first time ever I've actually beat porn addiction thank you so much I feel like a happier person now, thank you
Damn lucky
But how??
Quitting porn is extremely difficult compared to quitting other addictions. I think this is because, unlike other addictions, porn addiction is deeply intertwined with the reproduction part of the brain, and reproduction is one of our strongest primitive instincts. Your brain doesn't panic quite as much when you quit other things; however, when you quit porn, your brain thinks that you've gone from reproducing multiple times a day to zero times a day. It's going to severely punish you for this because it thinks you've suddenly given up on your biological imperative. This is probably why PAWS (Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) seems to last longer with quitting porn than it does with quitting other addictions. I've seen several anecdotes on the NoFap forum in which people said that quitting nicotine and alcohol was infinitely easier than quitting porn, and there was even one person who said that it took less time to recover from quitting a cocaine addiction.
Man I have been in this for three years now and I can't stop. I have read the Bible but the urge is still there.
@Bela Rios shut up bro
Pray before you read. So that the holy spirit can guide you. My grandma always told me this. Goodluck and godbless 🙏🏾
Cold turkey my friend. Join a support group. Ask Jesus to help you. There is freedom.
I’m so sorry brother. I recently have been also relapsing. 🥺 keep praying and seeking God it will end for both of us in Jesus name
Urge will always be there bro daily disciplines and building habits to replace it it’s hard you can do it
Absolutely. Everyday I tell myself I'm done with porn, within a day or 2 I'm telling myself all over again after using it. These cheap easy reward negative feedback loops are depressing.
Thank you sir for this exposè. This is absolutely about the person I have been for over 10 years
Thank you so much,I hope your advice Will help me changing
Amazing video. Spot on!!!! This video really struck a nerve. I’ve been battling for a little over a year with porn and masturbation and this is just what I needed to hear. Really hit home 100%
I got addicted at a young age I used it as escaping my problem
Supporting Arsenal nowadays isn't the same as well sadly.
At first I thought these 5 steps were yet another superficial bunch of steps, but I instantly noticed the man (Mark Tyrell) is worth listening to. I must check out more of this channel. This video not clickbait. Not sure about the History Channel and learning about history, though :) you might have to unlearn a lot of knowledge afterward. Hahah.
On a serious note, the video does not delve into the whys of why people get addicted (to porn, or alcoholism, or self-harm). Possible reasons are to take the easy way and being afraid of real challenges, perhaps due to personal insecurity, which can go into full-blown escapism from reality; or it's a way to try and fill a vacuum with something that temporarily makes you feel good. However, you know something is wrong when there is a bad feeling afterward or visible scarring. Addiction is extremely common. Widespread use of alcohol (on a regular basis and a lot of it) and smoking without being able to quit are two of them. Both have serious negative consequences that outweigh any possible positive effects, but that's my opinion. I used to condemn these people, but compassion is a better way.
Boss i don't know if i addicted or not
I don't know if i addicted or not

Bravo sir, keep doing similar stuff
Currently overcoming it wish me luck I better succeed.
Thanks bro this help me out alot
You should speak with my husband as I am leaving him because of it ...and many marriages are damaged 🤮...To all male addicts in this forum … read articles about neuroscience and porn and you get to see how you will end up in your senior years …. Plus what damages it does to your brain . It’s going to opens your eyes like never before ….. if you come out from this you are the luckiest as you get to do things that really matters in life !!!
Aww... this is so sad.... He needs help, its just like an addition to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, etc. porn is a bit different though. Please do everything in your powers to save your marriage.
@@merlinsaunders5644 … yeah , I know …. as much as other people think you can heal someone else’s mind and attitude, if they think there is no problem then the only course for me is to leave and live a full life with someone else that is NOT an every day 2 hours porn consumption user . Porn does DESTROYS marriages ( connections) .
Mary T two hours every day? Wow. How long have you two been married?
how's the one who watching porn for 7 years ? i do everything to overcome but unfortunately .......
No idea this is what I'm wondering. I've been watching for 15 years straight and it has completely warped my brain. Along with other things that amplify the effect it feels so impossible I'm only at 2 1/2 months and the past 4 days it's been like an urge/desire unlike I've ever had before. I've quit smoking (tabacco/niccotine) and it was the easiest thing but porn on the other hand is my absolute bane.
@@joeslacker1020 Start meditating and give yourself 3 months
@@Ds4u2 yeah I had to start over around that 2 1/2 month mark but now I seem just fine (for now)... And yeah I just gotta find more things to do and less exposing myself to the avenues that start that kind of behavior. I mean by now it's not really a huge secret on what to do the only problem is being able to do it. I have a lot of issues that I believe are synergistically affecting me into wanting to watch that. But i refuse to let that be an excuse to let myself go backwards. It's about moving forwards and keep doing that. I just come up with the thought every time I wanna watch adn say "Whats the point?" and "It sounds awful" "waste of time" "waste of intelligence" etc. Instead of finding justifications on watching it and whatnot why not make the ones to NOT do it. You have only one reason to do it and every reason not to. In the end you gotta tell yourself it's only going to make things worse. As we know it's an endless quest for that dopamine and it just extenuates that problem or possibly perpetuate it. I'md oing fine now but this is the hardest thing for me when it comes to addiction by far BY FAR
@@joeslacker1020 It can be almost impossible to try reason yourself out of addiction. Just start doing something, anything, like going for walks everyday for 30 minutes. Every second you are away from your computer, phone and porn you are wiring yourself out of the addiction slowly but surely
@@Ds4u2 Yeah I suppose it can be with only that you are right. But I think that having that thought process is definitely one of the attributes and steps one must take to getting rid of all this. I think that video games could be linked to this as well. Especially when done at the computer I play an online game an addicting one even though I'm not addicted it still acts like a gateway. I'm trying to eliminate the avenues for these 'relapses'. I think incorporating some exercise as well as maybe a better way of eating could help as well? I have so much going on in life right now that this is something that isn't as intrigueing to me. But yeah any more tips man?
Don't fantasize, its a trap.
No, he’s actually got a point . I can say from my personal experience. Fantasizing about the person I’m really into is helping to stop the urge . At least for a bit of time .
Teach love respect romance ..... not perverted Dirt viewing for fools !!
thank you for this clip. the funny thing is that the Challenge the porn baloney, works with many other drugs, like alcohol, marijuana, partying, etc.
the thing is that before a session of intoxication/porn my mind goes blank and single focused on the thing itself, at the exclusion of any thoughts that would derive me in an opposite direction. somehow, yes, a part of the mind is trying to fool the other and this is nasty business...
Yeah, that's exactly it
I used to smoke too much cannabis a few years ago, and I remember this sensation well. My friend would come over to smoke, and the moments when we were chatting before we smoked were so happy and bubbly. Because, as you say, our minds were clear, we had only one objective.
Self control .... the stoics nailed it. Abstinence is unreasonable. It’s a natural instinct, you won’t wish or will it away no matter how hard you try. Learn to say no to yourself. Weather it’s porn or playing with it in the shower makes no difference. Spanking the monkey isn’t a bad thing. Just like saying no to your food appetite is important, so is saying no to your sexual appetite. Porn is no more an addiction than food is, or anything else that makes you feel good. Women just hate porn because it takes their power over men away ( to a certain degree ), so they try to shame men for it.
You never hear anything about vibrator addiction do you ? No. This is just more man bashing nonsense.
Learn to control yourself ! We are an undisciplined society , and those who have what makes us feel good are playing us for the fools that only the undisciplined can be. say no to the flesh. Not because it’s bad, but because you don’t want to be led around like a fool by your instincts , giving others power over you
Agree.
thanks . this vidoe really helped me ....
vidoe?
My boyfriend was doing it in the morning when I was asleep.
You may not satisfy him enough
@@r3gisraw641 Don't blame her for his addiction.
It was real nice seeing and hearing you again. Thank God and thank-you for your very good advice. Very inspirational and meaningful and very encouraging. Amen.
There is freedom people. Cold turkey it. And like he said you just walk away. Flee sexual immorality!
The book "The Porn Guru" by Harper Daniels does a good job debunking porn and showing its zero worth.
Very helpful.
Good
Thank you for your good encouraging advice.
Yo man said magazine 😩💀💀
excuse e but is there any way we can came in contact with him
I don't know step 4 is less time consuming ... mind blown
I’m thinking of implementing push-up every time the urge hits
I tried something similar...but used masturbation instead of push ups...and yahh that doesn't work that well.
I don't know if i addicted or not
If it’s having a negative impact on your life and you can’t stop, you’re addicted.
Dont agree on fantisizing and watching tv..
Watching tv it is better than watch porn !
God bless thank you
...

ALL sex outside of God's design of one marriage for all of life, until death--with children to be created in the context of such a marriage--is perversion. Sex with self included. Until GOD'S timing (with a never-before-married person, in marriage, or with a widowed person, in marriage), just turn OFF those thoughts! DESIRE and FRUSTRATION CEASE if you're not thinking about or visualizing things that create desire. Just like with any other addiction (candy, cigarettes), turn your eyes and thoughts AWAY from that which only hurts you. Jesus, our Creator, said that a man who even looks at a woman (presumably a married one) to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. And he said that unrepentant adulterers will be sent to an eternal lake of fire on judgment day after death. His rules for humankind are no joke. We either learn to TRUST him, that his ways are GOOD for us, or we will perish.
I have a pron addiction also I think I have hocd too from viewing too much pron i feel like I'm losing control
pron?
Porn addition can make us to lose interest in our daily basic habits.
It also makes us to lose interest in enjoying our body while excercise.
Sometimes i feel like im a slave to pron after viewing pornography i feeling guilty and violated also having urges to keep going back
What i really want is real love and sex
I love u girl
Jeremy doesn't have any gains.
