I'v...Hey here's just some food for thought. I've been a regular porn watcher for a while. I'm 23 and, if I recall, started peeping porn around 12 yrs old. So that makes at least a decade of near daily porn use. I've noticed some big improvements in my overall well-being when I abstain. I've also noticed something else though. I've gone as much as a month without porn, but the desire always remains. This contrasts with, say, smoking weed or cigarettes, where the urge largely disappeared after 2-3 weeks.<br /><br />After watching the "your brain on porn" videos, which I'm guessing you've seen, I think I have the answer. I think the reality is that you'll never be totally free of the urge to watch porn, so long as you have an interest in women and sex. As long as you have an interest in women, and porn is around, then your brain will always subconsciously see porn as unlimited access to sex. I think that spiritually or philosophically, you can form lots of reasons for avoiding it that will help you stay clear, but the internal drive will always remain, just like the desire to have sex will always be there.<br /><br />I think the main thing I'm driving at is that you should keep fighting it, but don't be too hard on yourself either. I think, when taken in context, having no desire to watch porn could be considered a bigger problem, just like having no sex drive would be an indicator of some kind of mental or physical health problem. I only say this because I notice a consistent tone in your words that speaks of low self-esteem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
