after reading these comments, ill never stop trying to break this habit. 17 days is my best so far and i feel worse than ever because i know my life can be better.
Keep these videos coming, doc. Please don't ever stop encouraging us. Also, do we need to have the headband in order to get the QEEG brain scan done via Zoom or any other online video call app?
I’ve been suffering with a lot of stress and anxiety past few weeks and went back to looking at explicit images (haven’t masturbated) but I keep going back every day, not sure a better way to push through the stress and anxiety 😥
I put porn blockers on my phone, turn on screen time and have someone set a password you can’t guess… for both these apps. Try to resist masturbation whenever you feel the urge, start walking whenever you have that urge 10-15 mins or until it recedes. To start.
I've been away from porn for almost 2 months, although I don't count day to day. If I consider the alteration that porn has had in my real life, it can be seen in a "red pill" way of seeing women, and this is the hardest thing to fight with, for me. This is made even more difficult by the lack of responsible women who want to commit themselves seriously and which leads me to fully lead a solitary life. Passions come and go and can never replace the call to which we are all called: that is, to form a family and procreate. Porn is often an escape from suffering, a toxic refuge from important experiences or shortcomings in one's life. That said, along with God, I chose chastity from anything toxic.
Porn addiction is definitely real and so too are the damaging effects it has on you and your relationships - don't let anyone gaslight you into believing otherwise. I recently went out to the bars with some friends and felt like a shell of myself. I felt exhausted, unmotivated to talk to anyone, I just couldn't find the words and felt no pleasure in talking to anyone. It was very unlike me and I know that the daily, hour(s)-long porn and masturbation binges I've been doing for weeks had something to do with it. Porn, just like anything else you can be addicted to, makes you want nothing but more porn.
Porn has its deleterious effects but as for going out with people without the slightest desire to talk, well this is not caused by porn. If you find yourself in an unstimulating environment, with uninspiring people, it is inevitable to have little participation. Focus on yourself, start a new routine: wake up early, exercise, change the way you eat and go to bed early. Today's life does not grant everyone healthy relationships, sincere friends or pleasant realities: start to know yourself deeply, whatever beliefs you have, start looking in the mirror, stare well and start over.
@@christians.9645 Not my first rodeo my friend, I know how I feel socializing when I'm abstaining vs. when I'm consuming porn and masturbating regularly - it's night and day. As the video explains, porn affects your dopamine system which affects the reward system. When I'm regularly binging on PMO, all I want to do is watch more porn and nothing else gives me pleasure, including socializing. It feels like I have a mental block while talking to people because I have no motivation to do so, even my best friends. It doesn't help that when I'm using PMO regularly, I tend to opt for isolation as I'm too tired and unmotivated to leave my house to socialize and my social skills will decline as well. Everything Dr. Leigh talks about is true.
@ Friend, don't get excited. To overcome certain situations it is necessary to change friendships/habits to encourage new stimuli. He writes that he went out with some friends (therefore people he already knows) but in this specific case he should relate to new people and only in this way can he understand if there is damage caused by porn; If you are in your circle of friends you will never know. I've been there too.
Dr. Leigh, I am on week #6 of no porn, masturbation, or ejaculation. Deleted my Facebook account, which I used as my gateway/trigger. No urges, and now feeling more motivation. Only problem is an uncomfortable feeling of congestion from the testicular area to the prostate area, and I’m experiencing testicular pain. Can this eventually subside?
For some reason when ever I go 9 to 10 day without masturbating ill start getting stomach pain to the point where I got to do it just so it can stop hurting and it also makes me go to the bathroom to this is one terrible disease 😔
Retention is different than PMO. Which one are you trying to do? My suggestion, quit P fully first, retain an a cycle that is comfortable for you then release, ideally with a partner.
great inbformation here, thanks, really great video thanks for the tips, so when I finally read the updated version that Mario Volpstein pcame up with, it was the rock hard feeling that suddenly shocked my whole body into a state I forgot was possible, yeah really super charged and ready to go, goolging what he put up
I’m on my 4 month free from PMO but it’s been 2 month since I started having one severe intrusive thought,is it normal? Anyone has experienced the same? Is it temporary? I need your advice doctor Trish

Can't wait to see how it feels on the other aide . 2 weeks and half. meditating with muse band is so helpful my mind become better at thinking, my awarness is better. even though I relapsed many times but i keep meditating and can feel the change ! you rock Dr. leigh ! i think this streak is the real streak
Good work, man. Keep at it! Remember, this ought to be a lifestyle, just like how you eat, take a bath/shower, brush your teeth, sleep etc without anyone telling you or you thinking about it too much. The only time you need to release is in marriage with your wife. In the meantime, focus all your time and energy doing good, productive things for you, your future and your loved ones while enjoying healthy sources of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. 😌👌💪✝️☦️
Thank you, even if there for me is no porn, after the month of november has past ,keep up the great work with all this so many materials, is steel helphfull, and it has been many times before.
Hello Dr.Trish . I want to thank you for your videos they give us hope, and you help a lot. I have a question I didn't masturbate since early November, and I didn't watch any porn since 1st December, most days I feel tired and depressed, a little anxious, but I don't plan on quitting. I am just wondering when should I expect to feel better, have better reward system etc?
@mohamedabdiabdullahi1633 That is a dream, sometimes is harder that it seams, especealy because in my case is maybe weaknes due to adhd and habit like masturbation was some years starting from 17 years old which is the yang age, than some years like 2010 to 2015 didn't masturbate in november 2024 I gave up this habit again , but steal feal the nead many times to consume what contains sugar, this habit needs to stop but there are so many ocasions when I gest can't stop consume sugar, and that is a problem.
Dr. Tish, I hope that you see and answer my question (and I appologize if I'm too explicit but I'm not sure how else to ask). Does all masturbation cause p*** related issues, or is it only connected to p*** use. Also, are these issues restricted to p*** (hardcore), or are these side-effects also attached to what might be called softcore p*** (think ladies in skimpy clothing/lingerie, sports illustrated swimsuit issues, etc.)
Don't let the amount of likes you get determine how many days you'll be clean. Because in that case you would need at least 27,000 likes (which is 75 years at least). Be clean for life, bro. You will win. 💪
