    One of the most painful things about pornography is that it views human beings as an object and a means of achieving pleasure for oneself. It is very painful when one person's pleasure turns into another person's destruction. Pornography destroys human humanity without any mercy. It is extremely painful and disgusting.

    Hey Doc, thanks so much for these videos. Do your clients report that cravings and triggers for pron and/or sex actually get stronger when they are trying to quit?

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, it is common for clients to report that cravings and triggers for pornography and/or sex become stronger when they are attempting to quit.

    Once more great video! Thank you for doing this series. Do you think a person who is addicted should work towards mindful masturbation without any super normal stimuli? Or should they fully abstain, including abstain from sex/masturbation to recover?

    • @huffysheraton
      @huffysheraton 4 місяці тому +1

      I'm not a psychologist nor do I play one on TV, but as a hypersexual person I have used self-pleasure as a means of harm reduction for most of my life. It functions as a temporary source of relief when nothing else works. I liken it to opiate addicts who use methadone maintenance to stay functional and not use street drugs.

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  4 місяці тому +1

      Great question and as @huffysheraton points out, it can be a method of harm reduction. However, only you can decide if it is helping you move toward your rich and meaningful life or causing you problems. If sex in a committed relationship is not an option, then mindful masturbation may be a solution, but as you point out, the stimulus need to be "normal" not supernormal and the frequency needs to be managed so as not to cause continued disruption of the neurological systems

    Doctor when you say cell's start to die, is that permanent? Or do they grow back with time and abstinence?

    • @DocSnipes
      @DocSnipes  4 місяці тому +1

      Thank you for watching the video. While not all brain cells can regenerate after they die, the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself, along with the ongoing process of neurogenesis in certain regions, means that some level of recovery and compensation is possible. It is important to support brain health through various lifestyle choices and interventions to maximize the brain's regenerative potential.
