how do I become disgusted by porn?

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Jul 10, 2018.

  1. The only reason I relapse is because of porn, I already blocked most porn sites on google but theres incognito which ruins everything for me, my longest streak was 9 days and a couple of minutes I broke my second longest 3 day streak is it possible to remove/block google incognito?

    That's not true. I don't know why you relapse, but I know it's more complicated than the fact that porn exists. I would actually recommend making a project of figuring out why you relapse. Look for a pattern. Every time you relapse, write in a journal about it. Write down how you felt that day, what sort of things you were doing before you relapsed, etc. I'm sure there's an underlying reason. You don't watch porn simply because porn is alluring. You watch porn to treat some other ailment in your life. Are you lonely? Depressed? Insecure? Bored? Feeling stuck in life? These are the reasons people typically watch porn.

    This is not the answer you're going to want to hear, but I don't think that's going to help you. A software block on porn is like a bandage. You can rip it off at any time, and I believe someone who is truly addicted to porn will always find a way to navigate around the software block or find an excuse to take it down. If beating a porn addiction was as easy as simply installing a porn blocker, this forum would not exist. If you want to beat this addiction, you're really going to have to look at your life and figure out what sort of function porn serves in your life. It's not going to be easy, and you may end up walking into some very traumatic memories (I certainly had to).

    Just to be clear: I'm not arguing against software blocks. I don't think they're going to hinder your progress, necessarily. I just think that they are only a temporary solution, and that recovery takes a lot more than just installing a software block.

    Exactly. Couldn't have said that better myself.
     
  4. Answering the question: How do I become disgusted with porn?

    I’m still struggling but the draw of porn is weakening as I read/listen to the facts about the porn industry, facts about what harm it’s done to me, facts about what harm I’ve done to others as a result of my porn/sex obsession.

    Porn Industry Fact: It’s fake, it’s exploiting people to make money, it’s promoting pedophilia and other illegal activities, as well as other negatives.

    Harm to me: I’ve become a socially isolated awkward loser that has no idea how to approach real women. I have PIED. I have lost many good friends because I chose to hide in my house and binge on porn. Other things on the list too.

    Harm to others: Over 20 years ago, the one and only time I’ve ever had a girlfriend, I ended up using her as a sex toy and really F’d her up in the head. I feel awful about what I did. Since then I’ve not had any experience with women and no longer know how. I’m a loser I know.

    Keeping all that in mind is helping me to grow disgusted with porn.
     
  5. If you want to become disgusted by porn, think bigger. Don't just think about yourself and how it affects your own life. You become disgusted by porn in the first place by realizing what it does to thousands, millions of very young people.

    Think about the heartbreak God would feel when he sees a teenager visiting porn sites each day and wasting dna in the process.

    That's how you become disgusted by porn. By realizing it's harmful to not only yourself but everyone around you.

    Porn is nothing more than a cancer to society.

  6. Partially, yes. For me personally withdrawal syndrome is why I'm done with porn for good. It's harmful on so many levels (spiritually, mentally, physically).

    How do I become disgusted by porn?

    For me it just happened. After I finished Ming the last time I did, I just felt this dread and horrific displeasure immediately after I finished and I will never do it again. It’s been 8 days now and holy crap. I’m actually doing it. I think it was from all those years, they eventually caught up with me ‍♂️

  8. As others have stated, simply the fact that porn exists doesn't mean you'll relapse. Likewise there's heroin and all kinds of drugs out there, do we consume all of these? No. When I started my NoFap journey, I set up a few blockers (e.g. modified hosts file and OpenDNS) and it helped a bit. However, once the urges kick in, your brain is going to start looking for a replacement or even find a loophole. The truth is, there's always some kind of loophole or replacement you can find.

    Instead, you should perhaps set up a blocker like OpenDNS but also work on replacing habits etc. Porn will always be there somewhat available, you have to work on replacing the habit of looking at it by other habits. Try establishing new routines (workout, going out with people, meditation...) and try raising awareness.
