I fear for the future honestly, but I hope I'm wrong and the government actually does something for once.
In Europe (Italy, especially) this has been going on since the 80s. Nudity and sex are not so taboo, there. I remember seeing nude sex magazines being sold in public view at street vendors. No one batted an eye.
I remember seeing a Mother watching porn on her smartphone on the city bus , with her 4 year old daughter sitting right next to her. She keep telling her kid to shut up whenever she tried to talk. I was heartbroken seeing this shit...in 14yrs that young girl will be a star.
That's so messed up, nobody should have to see or go through that, that is heartbreaking. It never used to be that bad here, but I guess slowly it's heading that way, I've already seen it on the metro.
First born unicorn Hard core soft porn Dream of Californication Thanks for all the insight! The sexualized images of day to day life definitely make abstinence difficult, and this is coming from someone who has not had a phone for over a year.. My main reason for getting rid of my phone was due to the ease of access to porn, and to pornographic images. I feel social media is a haven for these images, and far too accessible. It's gross to read the stories of people watching porn on their 'smart' devices in public, especially the one with the daughter. I would probably call the person out if I saw that in front of my own eyes, but that's just the way I am, confrontation is rarely welcomed. I hate how I objectify women, it truly sickens me Yet, I do it regularly. I really hope that my abstinence helps sort this issue out!
I've seen multiple things, but one time I was on the metro in London, and there was a guy with a laptop watching it without headphones.
I've seen it in a elevator... With one guy and two other women and me... Going up 60 floors, guy thought he'd just Watch some P, I guess...
the fuck lol crazy! but yet i was pretty straight forward and "liked" to show off almost proud when i was an addict. sometimes flatmates or an male acquaintance(while i was high and drunk) saw that i watched p and other flatmates heard how much i was addicted to s. i think the longer you are addicted the more exhibitionist you become or at least some of us are. your sexual behaviour becomes more and more limitless. at some point it is hard to restrain yourself. that is the ugly truth
Luckily not all of us are completely zombified, we're the lucky ones that realised. Unfortunately I do know there are people that watch porn, are addicted and actually don't care. There's a lot I've tried talking to that say they'll never give it up or change their mind, I guess that's just denial from the addiction though.
This is true. As a (recovering) porn addict myself I too have watched porn in public. On the bus, in the library, at work ect...I always tried my best to hide it in case someone was looking over my shoulder but it was more from fear of embarrassment than any moral integrity. I don't think the membership of NOFAP is any position to judge. We may be lucky to get out of this porn trap before we get worse in our behavior. Everyone is not so fortunate to live life on NOFAP.
What made you realise that you were way too addicted and needed to stop? It's unfortunate very few porn addicts admit and fully realise they have a horrible addiction, because the sooner you notice the better and easier it is to control it.
When I said "One last time" for 1,003rd time. Redeleting porn I deleted months ago, rebuying porn I threw away weeks ago, even now after nearly 150 days free from watching any porn whatsoever I miss seeing my favorite pornstars like a long lost flame. It's gripping.
It's definitely a behavioural, controlling, and demanding addiction, especially since even after you 150 days you still miss it. Thankfully it doesn't last forever and you'll eventually be free from it, even if it doesn't feel like it now. Amazing job on that many days by the way.
But men are generally ignored. At least women are recognized for something, even if it's their physical attractiveness. I would easily rather be a woman.
