I feel like I’m in a genuine conversation with a close friend while watching your videos.
You are
I'm telling you 😂! I feel the same 💯
@@morenosanvee0077 I am at work listening like it’s a podcast haha. But seriously these videos are hitting where it matters. The doughnut analogy! Holy crap that was so well said. Real life uncle Iroh
Fr 😂
I have the same feeling, I even gave a fist bump😂✌🏼
As a woman, porn addiction is something that feels kind of isolating. I've never met any other woman with this issue. I hate how porn makes me feel after, such a rush, and for what? That empty, lonely feeling you get when you're in your room right after.. it's soul-draining. It's stopped being a good coping mechanism.
I'm a woman and i'm suffering with this issue. you are not alone
@@FieryFierceblood Thank you. I hope you're able to find healthier coping mechanisms
Yeah it definitely won't save you from loneliness, it'll make you feel worse in fact. This is one of the worst feelings when afterwards you're lying down, feeling some kind of intense phantom pain from not hearing someones breath beside you, not feeling someone's warm skin.
Hey there. I'm so happy for you that you decided to take this uphill battle. Just wanted to say, have it firm and hard in your heart that you will not ever ever for the life of you do that poison again. If you have temptation think about how hopeless and lost you felt. I can attest that no p*rn can be a hard battle. However it CAN be won with God! May God give you strength to fight and keep on going. He loves you a lot!
"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,"
Jesus said in Matthew 19:26.
May God bless you. The devil wants you to be as much of a slave to him and give as little attention to God as possible. If tempted, think about the consequences of losing the fight. You are a strong woman with the ability to fight sin and temptation! 😊
Have sex instead it's even healthy
20 years old, horribly addicted. Terrible life habits having been formed throughout my entire life; eating junk food, never acting healthy, never even really being hygienic. My dopamine receptors are fried, my room is disgusting, my hair is matted, and my teeth are stained, decaying, and misaligned. I sleep at 6:00 AM and sleep through the most of the day, I don’t work out, and my posture is terrible.
It hurts to think about these things, and it hurts in such a way that it demotivates me from ever seeking out anything better for myself.
No longer.
It will be a long, hard journey where I will make mistakes, but I want to be a better man than this.
I intend to come back to this video one year from now with an update. I look forward to the kind of transformation i can achieve in that time. Thank you for your video; I hope it lays the foundation for the most important step of my life.
gud luck mate
I got it from watching a rap music video. I hate rap. The music videos are censored porn.
Good luck bro, I massively pray you’ll exceed your expectations 🙏
It does feels good.
I hope you overcome it. Just so you know, you’re not alone.
Every like this comment gets is another day i go clean
Get this comment to 10k yall. Grayson prepare yourself✨
lets goooo, like the comment guys 😅😅😅😅🙏🙏
Damn bro god speed
You got this my guy, and remember you’re not alone
any updates?
Bros, we will conquer this. I’m not a big fan of new year resolutions but let’s get this done this year! I wish you guys the best! Stay strong, we will get this!
🤦🏽🤦🏽
Agreed.
Agreed
"Not a big fan", just say you're lazy and like pity parties LMAO💀💀
@@karmadillo9256 Haha I don’t get why you are so negative. I workout 5 times a week and I am self employed. Please try to be kind to people you know shit about. Also you didn’t even ask me how I mean that. Anyways, I do not discuss this with you right now. I wish you good luck with your new year resolutions! 😉
I want someone to like this so i can remind myself of this video in the future.
Relapsed last night after a couple weeks and told myself “this is the last straw”.
Going into the new year, I want to quit. Stumbled across this video and I feel like it gave me added knowledge to stop this habit. I’m 21 and have been watching porn since 11. I am determined to beat this addiction because it really is one of the worst if not the worst in this day and age.
you got this
Have you tried the easy peasy method?
803 people had to deal with porn addictions and im still here at 14 standing on my ten toes and just being a regular kid being addicted to gaming on my consle cmon do better
Don't say things like "starting next year" or "when I turn x years old" because at that point you've already failed. Start NOW. Quit NOW.
@@Drillur what are you YAPPING ABOUT STOP BABLING
Biggest problem I have is being alone at night. I have the most productive days, working, eating, sport, gym, but as soon as night falls and I'm alone in my room in the dark I regress
Not only am I addicted to P, I'm addicted to scrolling online at night when I have no duties. I choose that over healthy sleep
@@bilal6094try put your phone outside from your room,it's works for me at least
@@bilal6094maybe try to add a screen limit on any devices u use and don’t add extra time. This will force you to sleep or at least do something else that will move you away from relapsing. Start with 15 minutes earlier and work your way down over time until you get to the point u get better sleep and start feeling better.
@@bilal6094 Bro, hold in there you are the only master of your own destiny. You are stronger than you think !
That's me
As a woman, I read these comments and my heart breaks for all you young men battling this addiction. It’s truly a way society has failed you. You guys got this, don’t give up. No matter how longs it’s been, it’s a new day, and do your best, try, if you step back, get back up! You are loved, worthy, and deserve a good and healthy perspective of what true love and s3x is! And that doesn’t show you it. It warps your mind, and makes you see people as objects. I’m so sorry, whether you got introduced to it, where abused and found your way on it, or it was forced, I’m so sorry. It’s never to late to try to stop and get your life back. I pray you guys know you can do it, and God can use all the bad and turn it into good. Don’t give up! Find people who will keep you accountable and you can lean in!
On behalf of plenty of people I'm pretty sure, Thank you for your kind words, you're very sweet and it means a lot 😁💪🏼💯. I'm personally fighting a different battle now. Good luck to everyone! 🗿🔱☀️...
Thankyou for your words it made my day.I promise you that ill beat this addiction and help those suffering from it.
Addiction is fiction. You want to be bred and forced to make and keep those you were bred to make and slaves?
Thanks but most men watch porn because they can't get sex from women. So women are part of the problem.
Society hasn't failed anyone, we're sexual creatures who love to explore it and that's okay.
To all the teenagers in the comments opening up and being vulnerable about this addiction, I am proud of you…Just know, the fact that you are having these realizations in your youth is going to help you mightily moving forward. If you have decided wholeheartedly that you are not going to let porn be a part of your future, you are setting yourselves up for success. It is a process. Please don’t condemn yourselves and fall into the trap of feeling bad when you fall. Give yourselves grace. You got this!
@@Kc_chiefs Praise God! If no one has told you, I am proud of you. I wish I could have had your mindset at 16. You’re on the right path and your generations after you will benefit from your commitment as well. Keep going 👊🏿
@@kingKwab91 day 2 of soberness🙏🙏🙏 staying strong
Bros voice is actually so mellow bro he sounds like a wise philosopher
man like a unc at the cookout dropping straight gems but the deep gems😭😭
It warms my heart, to see someone spreading this message with such conviction and confidence. No "tips and tricks", no trying to sell shit, just honest and genuine advice.
I'm 30 years old now, 31 next April. I was 21 when I decided to overcome my porn addiction, almost 24 when I cleared my first year without relapsing. And in the 17th of this month, it'll be my seventh year free of porn. I learned to play harmonica, I returned to doing pro wrestling which in turn meant I returned to working out, I joined a Dungeons and Dragons group who plays in person rather than online, and that was just the start. I learned other skills and made other meaningful connections with people over the years.
Today I accompanied my mother to the doctor for her routine check-up, and on the way home she thanked me for taking such good care of her. That is not something I would do before I overcame the addiction, that is not something I would do when my mind was still messed up.
Damn bro, I'm 19. How did you do it? How did you decide to find all those activites and actually get yourself to do them. I think I'm too insecure.
@@viggostraton5609 insecure about what?
@@viggostraton5609 Same idea as the video. I wanted to do those things, and I got into my head that porn addiction was pulling me away from achieving them. That it was holding me back from reaching my true potential. Because it was, because the addiction ate away my motivation. So once I was clean for a while, the motivation started to come back and things started to get done.
@@d0m1nm1kdprobably with either meeting people or trying to learn the skills to do that stuff? Not sure
thanks for sharing that
Remove the triggers
Learn to hate porn
Replace bad habits with good habits
Use "delusion" to believe in yourself
Get real world interactions
Find things you suck at and be good at them (delayed gratification)
Accountability (reset reward system "punish yourself" )
Focus on mind repair on your journey, above the streak (ask yourself 'why')
FIND SOMETHING ELSE
The best was the last tip to find something else, i was once like this always watched porn and i got tired of it i changed myself and found new interests and never looked back this was few months ago, now im addicted to cocaine.

@@annoxx399 go to the gym, make it your new addiction
@@kristijanarcher5694 What for? What makes it better lol
@@Dubulcle there's nothing wrong with watching porn, but you just can't let it consume your life. Porn can help some people which do t have access to sex but too many people go overboard
I am 14 years old and have been struggling for the past year trying to stop watching porn. It's sickening how easy it is for young people to access pornographic content. I wish there was a way to restrict younger people from watching porn.
I can relate honestly. I was introduced to it in 3rd grade and now 5 years later I notice how much it ruined me. it's good we have so many people reminding us to stop tho
Stop asap bro, you dont wanna end up like me strugglin at 20 to stop fap, the longer you use a drug, the more addicted you become to it and then it will be more difficult to change that stupid ass habit
@@onlycarra7 I've been trying and I've recently gone a week without watching it. I'm making progress and I will stop.
Dude I feel for you!
I been an porn addict since I was 7 years old and it completely ruined my childhood, stop with the addiction as soon as possible because the time is going fast, dont be like me bro I wish you all the best
we gotta restrict video games too, they're just as bad.
The staying up to 4am in the dark by yourself part kinda hit 💀
frr 😭
Words it’s 4 am right now 😂
Same
I'm a month and a week into quitting my addiction, I feel free. Clean. Confident. First month was hard but it gets easier. You can do it brothers, if you relapse, get up and try again.
Don’t say if, it has to be final, no more, never again. Fuck the voice that says never say never. You have to stop and it has to be a final decision. No ifs or buts or maybe, there is no room for that, that helped me a lot, instead of giving myself an excuse I took it away from me which helps a lot.
@@SVGGMNG It's for the newcomers to this. First time I ever tried to quit I relapsed but I got up again and tried again.
Do you still enjoy things like playing games or have they gotten boring for you
@@gamerthe13th36wdym?
ive never struggled with the problems that you have. my problems are much worse, such as taking care of my disease stricken grandmother. She doesnt have long to live however I still spend every waking moment with her and tend to her needs, she is the most beautiful and strong woman I have encountered in my life.
Edit:thanks for the likes!!!
Edit: she is no longer with us unfortunately she passed away on December 29th, 2023 of an unknown parasite that made her have an insatiable thirst for blood.
I'm a 13 year old boy. I've known this shit was wrong for over a year. I've tried many ways to try and get over it, but never was able to find one. I know I'm at a crucial stage in development, and it scares me. I'm surrounded by other guys with the same problem, but many don't even care enough to try and stop it. I'm gonna get through this, and I'm gonna take your advice, and use it to the fullest. Thank you man.
Quit when your early cause that shi gonna mess you up socially
This is the time to quit, take it from me. I strated around your age and i won't lie, i been on it for 13 years. In and out. You need to know what you doing is extremely dangerous, very very very hard to quit, ive had periods of few months away but i still get back into it. This is the best time for you to run away. Do it like your life depends on it. Run away from it like it will keel you. Im talking to you like i would to my 14 year old self, Just walk away and don't look back, you could have been a great man if you didn't get into that shii.
Try to find a new hobbie like lifting weights, sports, or something like that so that you have a goal in your life. I stopped at 18 but i wish i stopped sooner. Fapping is a waste of energy and your masculinity, do something with your life
i'm impressed that you're "only" 13 and yet you are reflecting yourself
some people won't reflect a single thing in their whole life!
i wish you good luck
you can do this, you seem to have a strong character
Good on you for acknowledging it so soon. Most of us weren't as fortunate
This comment section is so sweet and compassionate. It makes me feel much less lonely not only knowing so many people are also on their way to a better path from this, but other women as well. I haven't seen women discuss porn addiction outside of this comment section. It warms my heart to see so many people come together. I've been able to open up and so have many other people here without fear of judgement. We're all gonna make it. ❤
I don't even have a porn addiction but felt that this was very inspirational and motivating. The way that you don't focus on shaming the viewer but make them think of what to do going forward, is just nice to se.
? He's trying to take a moral high horse on something that isn't inherently wrong in the first place.
@@Dubulcleokay addict
This. I was kinda like “damn idk how I ended up here but I’m staying for the soothing voice and seeing a blk man talk openly and compassionately to others specifically about this important mental health/public health topic”🩷🩷🥺🙌🏾
@@beebutt9851 So then you shame someone who doesn't agree with you? That works. Do you think watching porn in general makes you an addict? A bad person?
Im currently 2 months into recovery and its been rough, at times the desires of wanting to fall back are just way to strong.
My addiction began when I was but a boy,
I am now 21, and for over 10 years no matter what I did to stop
it just seemed like I had no remedy.
This is the longest I've ever gone without watching or doing it in the past 10+ years.
I understand it'll be an everyday battle probably for the rest of my life, but I am determined to fight back until the very end.
that's good progress bro. I'm only 6 days clean but I hope to be weeks clean, then months then years. we got this
I am 4 days clean and usually I would get very strong urges but after realising I will never have confidence or be able to talk to girls if I continue, I have no urges at all and want to quit forever
STAY STRONG, my story is quite similar
Man, im proud of you
Stop thinking about it stop counting days get the urge? Think bout the bad effects afterwards learn to hate this urge
Fcking remove it out of your life
Ive battled with addiction myself, im currently 10 months clean from cocaine, but i still have a sex and porn addiction aswell as a nicotine addiction. You brought some light to things i didn't quite understand or know how to articulate with addiction and i appreciate your view on this. Keep doing what you do bro, not everyone has an outlet or a real person to talk to about their problems
Keep it up bro!

shi too relatable bro im cooked
This is clearly targeted to men but I’m a woman struggling with a porn addiction. I stumbled upon porn stuff when I was only 11 and since then I struggled to stop watching it fully. It’s clear what porn does to men since it’s directed towards men, but I don’t struggle the way men do. My sexuality has been strongly influenced by porn. I oversexualized myself as a teen and let men talk to me and act to me in certain ways I didn’t call out or removed myself from. I’m glad I was an introvert and couldn’t ever act upon the stuff I saw and fetishized in porn bc it would’ve ruined me way more than just struggling to talk to ppl or feeling disgusted by it.
wow, i am so glad you changed. Experiencing that at such a young age could be dangerous and God forbid, you could have be taken advantage of if you acted on and carried on sexualising you self.
So happy im not the only one. Currently in the stage where im just now realizing that I should not let ppl talk to me in certain ways that I allowed bc of porn. Im happy i found this video now since im only 16 can’t wait to be out of this.
@@basil-md2bqwell done, best of luck on your journey. Also, a good way to stop watching porn is to research how misogynistic and abusive the industry is. It’s not so rewarding after that
Same I was exposed in a horrible way at a very… very young age.. and my mind is so fucking twisted now I struggle so much.
Thinking I was probably assaulted or exposed to something as a very young child. Grew up struggling with hypersexuality, discovered porn at 8. It just spiraled from there. For over 10 years. It took a lot of trauma from an abusive partner who used my weakness against me and the realization that I was using it as a coping mechanism to finally make real progress. Still not there yet but the content and frequency are both far tamer and I feel less shame. Believe me, I know how you feel. The OCD, feeling like I was gonna ruin my own life if anyone found out, the shame, the disgust. It took being cornered and forced into opening up to my own mother about it to really get anywhere. I'm now somewhat open about my issues and have been seeing a therapist, and have learned to self manage to some extent. You can be the ideal person you want to be. It just takes a lot of kindness towards yourself, healing, digging deep into your trauma and self reflecting. You got this.
It was brought to my attention that I mentioned “punishing yourself” and I want to clear up what I meant … I’ve stated this in many videos but I want yall to know that relapsing is not failure, it is a opportunity to learn, weakness is presented when you keep allowing these opportunities to go to waste. If you change your mindset you can prevent problems before they even need fixing. A part of that is all about being responsible and accountable. Addiction to porn is mainly about dopamine. I mentioned the phrases “punishing yourself” and “resetting you reward system” in the sense of taking away stimulation from yourself, like watching tv or eating junk, (doing things that make the addiction to cheap dopamine worst). Replace those things with good habits and your life is bound to improve. If you can’t read between the lines and you want to be babied this isn’t the community for you. I love you all and the tribe is on the rise❤️one love
Thank you man! We need for young men like you to guide the rest. This is a real struggle and it’s so hard to beat. Keep it up brother and thank you again.
Jesus love you dude and so do I.
ok buddy stop the yapping@@Sandmann629
Resetting your dopamine reward system is a legit thing but he's tainted it by linking it to a punishment for failure. Again, you should not be associating positive activities like exercise, meditation, seeing friends and family, etc etc. in ANY way with a punishment for relapsing, or failure, or weakness. You are allowed to relapse, and you don't have to do ANYTHING to make up for it, you just have to keep on trying. That's IT. Anything else will make you start internalizing positive things like going to the gym with punishment. And it'll RUIN, absolutely SHRECK your ability to keep those kinds of good habits, because it'll deteriorate the positivity your brain links with them. Do good shit because it's good for you, not because you didn't meet the goal you set or because you relapsed or what have you. Unlink those two, and stop listening to youtubers for what you should be seeing a professional for. Please. It's for the good of your overall being. Please.
A real addiction specialist doesn't make people "read between the lines," remember that.
point being SAY THINGS IN THE SENSE THAT YOU MEAN THEM, NOT IN A SENSE THAT IS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO BE HARMFUL, AND IF YOU CAN'T, STOP SAYING THEM UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YA DEGENERATE 📢🥴
but we both know ya won't 💰right?
🖕
fuck sakes man it was so much more than "a part of this video" but you're so focused on defending your brand you barely took in a fraction of the scope of the issue.
Bro keep it up this has helped me a lot keep up the good work bro
Today I’m almost 5 months free from porn, after trying to quit for the better part of 8 years. Thank God for people like you, the only way we defeat this is together. It’s never too late, it’s always worth the fight. I’ve never felt better in my whole life, and it was worth every second of the battle to reclaim my soul. Thank you for fighting to keep this conversation alive, I’m inspired to keep encouraging the friends around me as they fight the same battle, and I hope many others who see this will do the same.
good for you!!! i’m very happy for you, more power to you!
For so long, I thought I'd never beat porn addiction. I was isolated from my friends and family, always zoning out and not being able to focus at all. Then, I got a volunteering opportunity this past summer where I lived off the grid with an elderly. And there was also a lady volunteering whom I became friends with. I suddenly lost all interest in porn and even despised it. I spent all time just hanging out with this woman and trying to talk to new people. She really changed me. All I'll say is to keep trying to get out of your day-to-day surrounding and make new friends. Trust me it's worth it.
I quit porn 2 years ago and to be honest I never understood what a life changing decision that was at the time. Since quitting porn I got my first girlfriend and got a really good job that I can put all my effort into. I work out most days and my cognitive processes around sex are extremely healthy now. Sometimes I still feel those demons in side of me but I am able to control them very well.
Hey there. May God bless you! Thank God for that in prayer, and read God's word in the Bible.
@@Jesus_Christ_loves_you_alot I thank god every day. God has sent me many blessing since I turned away from lust it’s amazing!
That’s great to hear man!
Got recommended this at 2 in the morning after finishing, I am 14, my longest break was 3 weeks but now I’m breaking 2 times a day right after that break. I’m done, like my comment please to remind me that I am stronger than this, thank you. Again, I am done
You got this bro! I wish I had realised at 14 as you have.
I didn't realize how much that content was destroying me until a few years ago. It changed so many aspects of my life that I was completely unaware of, but even though the war ain't over, I'm grateful for realizing the damage that has taken place and that it can be rectified. Really appreciate you.
What did it change for you?
@@fiat_ow7876 my views on women, men, relationships. I was more focused on how a woman looked and equating it to their character which in turn blinded me to things that really mattered or didn't matter about who they are. Made me think, as a guy, that I had to be a certain way, look a certain way, act a certain way for a female to like me. Lots of insecurities as well. About my height, my body, my genitals, even my personality because I associated who I was overall to whatever reactions a female felt torwards me and if it wasn't good, even if I did nothing necessarily wrong, I felt less then. It warped my perception on what perfect is or can be, whether that's regarding myself or another person. Also, not sure if it was this video or another that he did about this topic, but I eventually realized I was searching for women that had physical traits similar to my first girlfriend that I loved/love. That was a huge problem as well. It has gotten better over the years, but I still have residual issues from exposure at a young age and all the years after that I kept consuming it.
It it bad to jerk off or just watch porn?
I’m being genuine when I asked this but how or what did it change I’ve been watching pron for years and I don’t feel a change in me personally so I’m curious how it changes someone
@@atomicmarkShit, same for me too, but it's probably along the lines of being less motivated for things because of the instant gratification and disillusionment something like that grants, or unrealistic expectations towards women, to the extent that they're thoughts probably go crazy.
I didn’t know how much I needed that fist bump. Thank you for the video. As a girl, this never ending cycle of wanting, craving and the emptiness thereafter is so relatable. We’ll defeat this f*cking disease. Sending you love and hugs brother❤
I'm 27 and since 15 i thought that I had depression: no motivation, procrastinating,etc.. now I see that this whole time it was my porn addiction eating my brain. Wish I knew all of this before my 20's
I'm 17 years old. P ruined my childhood at the age of just 13. It's been a real struggle over the past few years. I always knew the addiction was wrong, I just couldn't push myself to give it up. I made my New Year's resolution to give it up for good. I'm going to use some of the tactics you described in this video in hopes to quit it once and for good. I hope to come back to this comment down the road with a smile on my face. Thanks brotha!
Edit: It's now April of this year, and I find myself watching this video again. Why? Becuase nothing changed. I really need to rewire my mind. I've rewatched this video, I've prayed to God for help, and I'm planning to begin punishing myself if neccessary. This time, I'm serious, and I'm really hoping to come back to this comment down the road with a smile on my face. Thanks to all who have showed support as this comment currently has over 1k likes. Most importantly, thank you again man, if you're reading this, for making this video.
I'm honestly really relieved to see someone in a similar situation. For me it hasn't been as long- I'm 15 and started watching it when I was like 12 or 13. I did the same as you where I said I wouldn't watch any P. It should have been relapsing altogether. Honestly I did pretty good. Like 4 months of not relapsing at all. Then I kind of just undid what felt like so much work when really, I didn't have reasons in place of why I shouldn't, only that I just shouldn't because it's bad. This video was pretty great for me. The whole "why" "why would you take the donut if you were on a diet" that really just made me realise things, like seriously I don't have any reason to be doing it other then for the pleasure, and honestly I end up feeling worse than good after. I think the consequence thing would be a good idea for me, even just the putting good habits in replacement. I think I'll start it tomorrow because I really do believe in myself and that I can stop myself (so should anyone), it's just a matter of time and building a better mindset. Keep rocking on yourself by the way man you're doing the right thing :)

Hi there! Jesus Christ loves you. He is the only way to heaven. May God bless you! 😊
is there anything that i can say to my girlfriend after struggling with my own porn addiction and hurting her with it? she wants to help me but the withdrawals are causing me to act differently towards her
@@alfyortega473 explain to her that you dont do it bc you dont find her unattractive tell her its truly just a habit and tou honestly mean to harm by it. Obviously continue trying to stop. My boyfriend isnt working on his addiction so those are the words id like to hear 🥲
@@alfyortega473communicate to her about it, don’t leave her clueless.
the thing about being a porn addict I believe is that it’s one of the hardest addictions to talk about. it isn’t nearly as shameful as confessing your addicted to cocaine, alcohol, gambling or even sex itself, as these addictions are most associated with real life problems and porn addiction is often seen like a fckn loser’s problem. can’t talk about it to my friends, my dad or specially my mom, only to a therapist i can’t afford. and it sucks since it’s the root for many of the issues derived from lack of confidence.
so i gotta thank you for the words, i really appreciated it!

mainstream stuff about self-improvement are so overrated.The best investment you can make is in yourself. Books are the ultimate learning tool. Reading Bruce Thornwood's Unveiling your hidden potential helped me build discipline and separate my mindset from 90% of other people
I'm almost 14 and addicted. I really want to quit but I keep relapsing. its honestly sickening how easily minors have access to pornography. I genuinely need to quit and work on myself. Thank you for this video Shimon. Much Love.
Me too man same age and struggling
let me give you some advice as 30 something. replace it with socialising with girls/women - get some closer female friends then you don't forget porn is illusionary image. porn is just like eating invinsible food you think you get something but you don't. to have urges is normal we are biological beings. we are sold hugh hefner life model again and again. but allmost nobody gets to that life and we don't even know how he lived. if you talk more with girls/women you get back to reality. life isn't like in porn movies few moments in and we get rewards. don't fight the urges just honestly talk with women they bring you back from it.
803 people had to deal with porn addictions and im still here at 14 standing on my ten toes and just being a regular kid being addicted to gaming on my consle cmon do better

Thanks for that, my friend. I'm 28 and discovered a couple of months ago that have Autism Spectrum Disorder after years suffering from depression and anxiety disorder due to feeling not belonging to any social circle. During these last months, I've been attending both personal and group therapy and realized how bad porn is. I can't even tell when my porn addiction started, I'm trying to avoid as much as I can but is so freaking hard. I really appreciate how you talked about the state of mind you must achieve to become porn free
Oh yeah it's particularly difficult bc addictive behaviors can really feed into the habitual aspect of ASD. I believe in you brother !!!
You got this man, don’t give up.
Believe in both your spirit and heart.
You don't have to be autistic to be isolated and not part of social circles. PTSD, AVPD, and a plethora of personality disorders do that too.
This dude did more for me than my parents or friends ever done, i'm not saying i'm ungrateful, but i feel i can "talk" to this guy whenever i feel i'm troubled. I just found this channel, already subscribed, good content, keep doing it Davis 👍
"Learn to hate it" is a great one. I often say this to one of my friends who cannot quit, and it's tainted his standards of the women he chases and dilutes his satisfaction in romantic relationships. I have a few friends like this, who have developed a nihilistic view of partnership and they are lonely. I'm married and porn free, but I was addicted once. What made me even want to quit in the first place was developing a curiosity about the industry. I had no intention of working in it or anything, but I met a couple who made amateur porn. They were very unhappy people, and addicted so many drugs as well. I wondered if they were the norm in the industry or not. I heard a podcast episode with a former male porn actor, one of the most famous, I don't remember his name, I think Johnny Sins or something? He was in that porn where the intro became a meme because he was in a bathtub and the actress comes in and tells him to get out because there's a shark. I think most people have at least seen that scene cause it was pretty viral.
He quit the industry and on this podcast he talked about how so many of the actors he did scenes with have since killed themselves or OD'd on drugs. It turns out rates of drug and alcohol abuse among porn actors is close to 100%, not even kidding. Their rates of suicide are extremely high too. The vast majority of people who have watched porn consistently for a long time admit that the content they watch now disgusted or even scared them when they started (think about this one, if you watch porn, how would you from 5, even 10 years ago feel about what turns you on now?). It's a terrible industry and it wrecks people. It wrecks the consumer, it wrecks the actors, the only people benefitting at all from porn are the people at the very top collecting the big money. It's pure evil and the true effects are only starting to be studied and understood. They couldn't even acquire a sizeable enough control group of non-porn addicted males until the early 2010s, because the vast majority of men who didn't watch porn were religious and that presented a bias that could affect scientific study into (specifically internet) porn addiction. It was only in relatively recent years, where men have begun to quit, that they were able to obtain a secular control group to study the effects.
There's just no positives, and we've been lied to. Companies like Aylo (formerly Mindgeek, who own virtually all the biggest porn websites) have tricked current generations with a play right out of Edward Bernays' book.
They've made porn seem progressive and cool, it's a "revolutionary act" to work in porn, and its "allyship" to consume it. They have spread slogans like "support sex work", well, I will support sex workers to quit and to find work where they are no longer being exploited and in turn exploiting others, but that isn't what they mean. They mean throw your money at onlyfans models. They mean to say "keep consuming". How did they get away with this!? It is exploitation pure and simple, it's just mind rot, there's not a damn good thing about it! Now they have people running defence for them, when people try to talk about the dangers there's always a horde of people who think they're doing activist work ready to swoop in and insult you, and accuse you of being a fascist or a puritan or assign a religious label to you, it has become politicised! It is not even a matter of left or right, these big porn companies don't care about anyone's political beliefs, they don't even care if their actors kill themselves. I bet the cigarette companies are watching the porn industry right now and just WISHING they'd managed to pull this off in the 60s when the first incontrovertible medical studies into the dangers of smoking were published. And now look at Onlyfans and other services like this, they're an evolution of the worst type of porn. The parasocial element these things provide is absolutely deadly, and they can get away with paying their models absolute dirt. They prey on the poor for their workforce and they prey on the lonely and troubled for their customer base. It is beyond evil and I am so glad I see more and more people waking up to it, especially the young generations.
I'm 30 years old, and in this comment section I see people who are claiming to be young teenagers who started before they were even 10 years old! You were all robbed of your innocence by these absolute monsters at the top of this industry and we should all want them to answer for what they've done! It needs tight regulation, it needs strict controls and the dangers need to be well known. In my country, casinos must have pamphlets placed where people can see and access them detailing the dangers of gambling, how to recognise if you're addicted, and lists of resources to help quit. Cigarette packets must have a health warning detailing the risks of smoking, and often include a quitline number. Porn websites should be made to have this too, they should have to publish the statistics and have a link somewhere visible on their websites that directs users to a list of quit resources and an outline of the real dangers of pornography. The facts should be public knowledge, and what is indisputable should be made known and accessible.
It is so easy to quit when you realise what a sleazy rat hive that evil industry really is. It is vile. For anyone having issues quitting, go and look into some of the studies that have been done on porn addiction. It'll give you the ammunition you need to beat this disease forever.
This reminds me of when pornhub did a mass deletion of a majority its videos because much of it was found to be CP or r*pe or revenge porn and the like. it was everywhere on social media n people were genuinely upset that the stuff they had saved over the years was gone. I'm still speechless about all that. There were people less concerned with the fact that they could've been watching minors, than they were with the videos being removed.
I don't think most people understand truly how empty and horrifying this industry is. Even the most unscathed people within it that have found success are hiding their own horror stories.
What is porn addiction even? Like you can't stop jerking off?
I genuinely have grown to believe that the evil satanic individuals who run this industry genuinely want the populace, especially men, to succumb to their control and give up everything in their lives for the gratification they get from porn. I'm religious myself and the Quran highly warns us of these things. They may seem like individuals who just want money, but there is a way more evil and sadistic reason the porn industry exists. Like you said, there are activists who will call you the bad guy for speaking against it. Those people have already fallen victim to their control. So from a religious perspective, all this feels like a co-ordinated ploy to stray religious people from god.
I wonder if this how people felt listening to mlk, I feel so empowered and inspired!
I have been a victim of of this since the 4th grade and im just now realizing today that it had me in a chokehold as I am now beginnig my 4th year of college😕. It made me veryyyy socially awkward to the point to where it ruined all of my relationships with people. At least now I am aware of what it has done to me so I can now make changes.It will not be easy but I won't give up. This was a great video and if anyone can give me some helpful tips on how they overcame it I would really appreciate it😢.
This genuinely brought a tear to my eye I felt so present in this video like I'd be talking to an older brother or something. Thanks a lot, man.
Im 21 and it all started at age 8 or 9. And i havent even passed a week without watching porn, truly didnt think anything was wrong with it until 17, i tried to stop and couldnt for some reason. i realized that i couldnt talk to women, that i had no confidence, bad anxiety, possibly depression. Even with all that awareness for past few years i still couldn’t stop.
I dont think i can ever progress in life until ive taken care of this addiction, and i will start today thanks to your video, for reminding me.
That's exactly how I feel too. 24 years here. May this next year be a turning point for us. I trust you.
Reading all these comments and yours, here’s my take. I feel like trying to eliminate the highest natural urge in the body is not helpful. Instead do your thing for like 20 minutes or an hour. Like unless you literally told someone “I can’t hang out” becuase you wanted to watch porn instead, I don’t think there’s a problem. Your problems with women probably are not porn directly, it’s just a negitive feeling you have. Although if you really want to stop for good then good luck.
@@caioxavier8843 2024 will be a great year guys, I started to learn Excel and going back to play guitar because I had nothing left after I broke up with my ex girlfriend, I spent all my money in a road trip with her and after I came back to my country, the only thing that I had was porn, no money to train Muay Thai, to keep learning guitar and upgrading my gear or anything else, it was just my long distance relationship that left me nothing, I felt so stupid when I realized that.
I don't blame her, it was an awesome experience that summer love but I came back to Mexico and I have basically spent the last months jerking off and hitting the gym, 2024 will be us guys
@@dominicteneriello9977yeah it's more related with lack of social skills and self steem, I want to work on that too, having experiences and a full filling social life is really important, I want to overcome my fears of rejection and meet new people
Same here. Problems in reallife (sadness; loneliness ; Problems to talk to girls).Never connect to porn are accutaly very close to them is hard af. Nice to know there are other dudes with same problems. Stay strong guys ❤
I am 14 years old (almost 15) and was introduced to adult content at the age of 6. I have not stopped nor have I been able to stop for that matter. Looking at it it has affected me so much in my life, all completely negatively. It has made me feel terrible about my body and over-sexualize others. Im marking this comment as the point of change for me, like a checkpoint. I wish all the other young men, and women luck with how it goes.
Wishing you the best of luck as well! Stay Strong!
Maybe the problems are the self image and perception of others themself and not the hub.
How do you know it's the hub bro? I watch the hub almost daily and have a normal self image and a normal perception of others.
Fix the actual issues, not the thing which may or may not actually be causing the issues, which has no clinical indication that it would cause those issues
@@TheLifePill man yikes. porn changes your brain chemistry and dopamine receptors, whether its affecting self image or not. just the fact that you say “i watch almost every day” and dont see an issue…. yeah go ahead and log out, and stay away from giving “advice” to people who are improving themselves. please.
@@TheLifePilllol a peak brainrot daily porn watcher telling someone how normal it is to do that shit daily is insane. like telling someone tryna quit cigarettes that you smoke 10 a day and you’ve been fine. shut tf up.
Why are you assuming it’s porn that’s causing you to have body image issues and oversexualize others? That just sounds like being a teenager.
When I was your age I had similar issues, and by 17 they’d resolved themselves completely. It had nothing to do with porn, just with being 14.
This video has legitimately been helping me with my battle. I’m 3 days into sobriety and remembering your words has made it easier. Thank you very much for providing this content. It’s always nice for men to have great resources.
“Sugar and porn are the new cigarettes” that’s so real.
As a young man it’s engrained in all of our brains from such a young age, I genuinely feel porn addiction is a problem for 99% of men. But most either won’t admit it or be aware of how it actually affects them. I’m glad as a society we’re finally addressing this issue. Onward and upward gets 📈
"help yourself, you are the one whos gonna have to save you"
you are so real man, i love the content you put out and we need more people like you to push the agenda
Its been 3 months so far, my ED is nonexistent, this is the best thing ive ever done for myself. Thank you for giving me that last little nudge i needed
Dude, this was the most honest anti-porn video I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for your content. I am currently recovering from a year of binging due to an extremely fun, fulfilling career and too much Time on my hands. I am currently working a new job that I love and it has helped my progress so much, but I still find myself with the urge to watch pornography, when I am alone. I know this will be a lifelong battle, but I can’t seem to find some thing that will take my mind off of the urge, long enough to refrain. I am hoping time will help as I focus my attention on my new career.
803 people had to deal with porn addictions and im still here at 14 standing on my ten toes and just being a regular kid being addicted to gaming on my consle cmon do better
Porn is fictional. Youre being kept as a slave thats marketed as having a job?
It's such a strong urge because it's natural, healthy, and not meant to be repressed.
@@Zeromaus Sex is natural. Watching other people have sex is not lol
You think people didn't have sex parties and sexual displays back in Rome? Lol@@nostalgicbliss5547
Hey I'm 16 and I was addicted for about a year and a half before I decided to change my ways. I'm currently 3 months free and going strong and it's been some of the most challenging months of my life. I depend on videos like these whenever I feel the urge. I've cut off basically all social media except for youtube so I can still watch videos like these. I had the urge today to do the deed but this video helped me calm down and remember why would I it? Why let all that effort go to waste for something that isn't even good for me. Clearly it's because of the pleasure from it. I hope to everyone out there that you guys overcome it and I know we can all do better in our lives so let's all get through this together. Stay strong brothers!
Addiction is fiction. You in a group of slaves and kept as a slave yourself?
Good luck to you man. Keep going
The absolute first time I’ve heard real, complete, practical advice in 20 years of looking for help. Thank you brother.
Bless up man, you helping young brothers out here 😔
Thanks for talking about this man. This is something I’ve been struggling with for a decade now, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized how far it had gone when it started to affect my health and cause me great pain.
For those who need the fear of God in you, I was FORCING so much toothpaste out of the tube that I got Epididymitis. Which is usually a symptom of STD’s but my doctor confirmed it wasn’t after I told him about my addiction. It hurts. Badly. There will be hours when you want to sleep or even sit but you can’t due to how bad it hurts and you just have to hold out. Stop while you can

I want everyone to know that i have struggled for years with porn addiction im 24 and i was 12 when i was shown porn and it has been the worst thing i have ever been addicted to I don’t want my kids to go through the same thing im dealing with i want my kids to know that porn can fucking destroy you mentally and physically and to all the younger people we can get through this addiction. This addiction isn’t us and it doesn’t deserve to be apart of anyone’s life i love you all and i wish you all the best in your futures.❤❤❤❤
I relapsed guys…and then I found this video on my feed…watched it…it’s changed something in me for sure…I think I can actually do this
Im addicted to that shit since I was 12. Now Im a grown ass man, with enough lucky to have the most amazing, and beautiful, and perfect gf by my side. I want to do this for myself too, but most of all for her. I want to be the best version of myself for her, don't disrespect her seeing another girls naked and having this messed up brain that imagine unreal scenarios and having this disgusting intrusive thoghts. Thank u for this video man, this was genuinely good for me.
What I find difficult but extremely helpful if i’m mentally strong enough, is tapping into my subconscious and separating myself from the urges. “I am not my thoughts, but the consciousness behind them.” Recognizing that the urges are just a little projected slide show of thoughts and images that the mind passively notices, and then pushes it away. Don’t fall into the trap and think that YOU are thinking these things, because you are not your thoughts. You are just subjected to being shown the images, and you can just as easily push them off.
I almost did the deed but I fought the urge and listended to the voice in my head saying to open one your videos before I do anything. Heard what I needed to hear and the feeling passed, thank you.
I’m proud of you
You still good bro?
So appreciate you speaking on this. Women go through this, too, but i really think its so important for men to hace these conversations with each other. You seem like a very safe place for men to be vulnerable and I thank you for creating that space for them
Dont try to fight the urge. Replace the thoughts with something else.
Just think about it, everytime you tried to fight the urge you lost, and the times you were actually successful were the times when your focus just shifted to another thing.
I will say.... scriptures 😊
@@johnjustice4420 yes! It can be anything
Yes, Thank you .
Man I have tried to quit several times before and I felt like I couldn’t control it . I recently ran into you videos and it has strengthen the belief in myself to overcome my demon. Thank you. It begins today
This guy cracked the code for this type of content. And it seems so genuine
I don’t really wanna give out my age but I’m not 18 yet I’ll say that. I’ve been dealing with an addiction for a few years of my life and it fucking sucks and I’ve Been watching videos on how to stop everyday for the past month and I slipped up a few times but I’m getting better and I hope in the future I can be clean and done with it. I’ve even started going to the gym and I’ve noticed significant improvement . Not only pron but I’m struggling with a weed addiction. My girlfriend of a year was abusive and I never really did anything to get myself out of that situation but I used weed to cope and I was actually able to be clean for like 6 months and I was trying my best to help her with her problems too, but she started to be abusive again and then one day I snapped and relapsed. Your videos been helping me a ton man Keep it up💯. I haven’t told anyone I know but my New Year’s resolution is to get off weed and pron
Weed is a struggle to get a away from, I was smoking up 6-7 times a day for a couple of years and it really does something to you, keep taking that one step a day forward, sometimes you’ll fall back to it when things get rough. Pick yourself up and get back to moving forward. You got this man, the first three days will always be the worst. Best of luck to you
i hope you can do it!!
“Porn is making me a stranger in my own mind”
I have watched porn for over half my life now since I was 14 and I have depression and anxiety disorders as a result.

I appreciate you and you will succeed ! Consistency is key !
After I got with my girlfriend my porn addiction made it hard to feel connected to her. It made me feel like shit made me feel so shameful and angry but after I have been working through it I have been able to feel more emotional towards her and made me be able to connect with her and I’m making good progress thanks man much love ❤️
Thank you bro i really needed this ive been addicted since 12 now 18 and still cant stop i have crazy withdrawals once i try to stop and its disgusting to see how porn has ruined as a society it even changed me in a negative way.Thanks so much for. this video i really needed it after a long binge but today i will end all the things my addiction has caused no more good luck btw to all the people struggling just like me.
thanks man so much things you said really is true when we are alone it is easy for the urges to start to take place i remember during my school years my early years i was vibrant with people and when the later years came i became distant i didnt realise it until now thank you u earned a sub
These videos makes me feel like
I’m having a talk with an older brother or a older cousin, that’s just trying to help me out and not let me fall into pornography anymore deeper. Thank you bro, the things your saying is what helping people quit and try to change there ways man, you deserve to be more popular so other people can see your videos, and see how you are encouraging people to stop watching it and change.

How tf did you do that
I'm 24, and have been struggling since I was 10. We need more videos like this it has helped me a lot
Just found this channel. Love to see young people doing constructive and healthy things with their time! Keep going man, this channel is incredible!
I just came back to this video to say thanks. I remember, a couple of months back, I was in a dark place. I was in my room all the time, I was socially awkward and unhygienic and also wondered why everyone acted like I didn't exist at school. But worst of all, I watched A LOT of porn. I hated myself. But I remember like it was yesterday, I was scrolling on UA-cam, on my phone, alone, and I clicked this video on a whim. Your words felt so empowering. I decided right afterwards I was never gonna watch porn again, and that I wold start working out and playing basketball. Now, I still workout and I still play basketball. And no, I haven't completely quit porn, but what I have done is repair my mind. So to anyone reading this, start something new. It doesn't matter if you're nervous or you think you will fail. Just do it. That's the key
I've been failing man, I've been failing my God continuously, I'm tired, I'm tired of breaking my promises with him, I do the things I detest but I keep doing them. I understand my wrongdoing and I genuinely want to stop, I know my urges but im so ignorant bro but I'll keep trying and I'll soon defeat this addiction. This video came up out of nowhere and I'm thankful for your word of advice and support, ill stay on the grind and hopefully all of y'all manage defeating this addiction as well, love y'all!!, take care ✌️.
Im in the same boat. Its like quicksand. You get further sometimes you stumble but we we just keep sinking the more times we fall the more we just wanna let go
As a guy who loves jewelry the necklace you're repping has got to be one of the most original and beautiful pieces I have seen in a long time!
I cannot express how thankful am i to for making this video.
This genuinely feels like im having a meaningful conversation with a close friend.ive been struggling to stop this addiction since i was 13 and im over 21 now ive been a shut in for most of the time but these past 6 months i was able to go outside and started to workout and make it consistent but the only thing im struggling rn is pórn addiction but this video has opened my eyes even more to stay on the right path
Preciate this bro. Second video that has been recommended to me today and quitting porn. Ive started to read my Bible more and my main goal is to get my relationship with God in order before this world comes to an end. I WILL replace the times that I think about porn with Bible study and I WILL get out there and talk to more women. God bless you man. This video was JUST what I needed.
This world is in a terrible state at the moment. We're really lucky to have you here to help us brother, God bless you.

If your realizing how poisonous this is as such a young age, your already ahead.

Glad to see some young men speaking on it. Keep going!
Havent thought about new years resolutions but i think this'll be mine. I never saw porn as a problem but now idk and i should get rid of it before it develops into something really bad. I'm loving the way you explain everything in this video and how slow you go, its much more reassuring and gives me a lot more faith in myself. Im 7 minutes through and only just took the time to inspect your face, because with the music and your voice and how mellow the vibe is, it almost feels like i have a version of myself, or a truly pure version of my self, like a guardian angel telling me whats next and what to do. 10/10 video bro ❤ needed this. Will be coming back with progress updates.
Dude i cant thank you enough brother. Your yt has helped me in multiple ways. I have finally figured out how to grow out of my addiction and become a man but also grow in God. Thank you
2021-2023 Our society finally paid attention to this BIG ENOUGH problem and outlined how bad this affect us and kills our mind
I picked up bass guitar, I draw, I picked up coding. I'm exercising regularly. I've gotten better at these over time and lost weight. It's honestly so much more fun than scrolling through shit wasting my life away.
I still suffer from an addiction related to p0rn but videos like this actually motivate me to quit my addiction, its been 4 weeks now since i stopped doing the deed, thank you and other creators so much
There aren’t many in this world who can say that they are doing a real service to humanity. This guy is one of the few who can. Amazing job.
you're the coolest dude I've ever seen on the internet brah, someone else mentioned how you feel like a close friend watching your videos and your response was just wholesome dawg. Big love, earned a sub from that attitude alone. You going places and we're gonna be on the journey to all do the same.
Much love to you fam❤️i appreciate you ! It’s only the beginning for us
This is the best advice out there. It doesn.t get much easier to understand than that. Keep it up, man. Don't let porn destroy your life. Seek God and seek for help to block all of the triggers and all of the dirty stuff on the internet at all costs, trust me, it's definetly worth it. Don't fight sin and temptation, RUN from it. BE STRONG! GET STRONGER!
that point about needing to have a woman around in your life to beat porn addiction is one of the realest shit ive ever heard about. i had a massive porn addiction when i was in my early teens and without even trying, i got rid of it when i had a relationship with my girlfriend of two years. now we broke up and ive been going solo ever since, its been hard to resist the temptation being all alone in my room. thanks for this bro.
You have such a soothing voice brother.
Was addicted from 11 to 23. I'm happy this is over. Got over it by getting rid of my T for hormonal therapy and it's great to not see everything as a trigger anymore. Best of luck to everyone going through it, you got this !
And thanks for the video, I've actually never seen anyone mention it before, so it's nice seeing it being spoke of.
you got rid of your T? explain me plz?
@@atlas7097 I use injections in order to remove my testoterone (the "T", could have used the full word haha) and since my hormonal therapy started, everything that would lead to an erection don't stimulate anything anymore, so that's great.
@@atlas7097T is testosterone
@@atlas7097 don't wanna put words in OP's mouth but some people take antiandrogens to decrease their testosterone production for gender dysphoria, or other medical reasons. Getting rid of testosterone will usually cause a massive decrease in your sex drive and fertility as a whole

You were on 10k subs just yesterday and now you are nearly at 20k. your growth is well deserved you have helped so many people
Thank you for this my dude, almost 3 months ago I stopped drinking (mostly for health reasons), it’s almost been 3 weeks since the last time I smoked weed (after being high all day everyday for at least the last 7-8 years), but the one struggle I’ve had that’s overlapped all of that was porn. It’s really a shame that’s the one that stuck with me cause it’s the one that makes me feel the worst about myself. And in comparison to quitting those other vices, this one was so difficult for me it made the other ones seem like a walk in the park. I’ve cut down significantly in the last couple months cause I feared it was having a real negative effect on my marriage, but I feel like your advice in this video is what’s gonna help me get over that hump and finally be able to be happy with myself. Again thank you man, this video is gonna help a lot of people
Hey there. I'm so happy for you that you are going on this path of recovery. It's an uphill battle but have it firm and hard in your heart that you will not ever ever for the life of you do that poison again. If you have temptation think about how hopeless and lost you felt. I can attest that no p*rn and no fap can be a hard battle. However it CAN be won with God! May God give you strength to fight and keep on going. He loves you a lot!
"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,"
Jesus said in Matthew 19:26.
May God bless you bro. The devil constantly wants you to be as much of a slave to him as possible, and give the least possible attention to God. But if tempted always think about the consequences of losing the fight. You are a strong young man with the ability to fight sin and temptation! 😊
I am a Muslim, and I have suffered from all sides, but after I returned to reading the Qur’an, especially during the month of Ramadan, I have overcome many problems. Therefore, I advise you, even if you see Islam in a bad light, I advise you to get closer to religious people and read the Quran.
My first exposure to this sort of media was when I was really young, around 11-12.
When I was in my late 20s i quit it. Deleted all my social media, Twitter, Facebook all. Focused on hobbies like painting, gym, running, I found God. Now I'm relapsing, sadly, but some things in this video inspired me to keep on fighting.
We'll make it bros. We'll make it.

Bro, i appreciate your words of wisdom. You attacked me when you said dont eat 25 cookies. How dare you read me so well! But in all seriousness, ive relapsed and ive been sitting on your video for a moment and have set the intention to save myself from my porn addicition. Your a real one dude, it takes alot to put yourself out there with your experience. Im going to take what you said at face value and begin again to stop this addiction. Thank you dude.
