Porn is the life cheat code we were never supposed to have

Except it's not really a cheat code. You can never replace something genuine like love and connection with artificial stimuli. Kind of reminds me of humans long ago learning what NOT to eat after dying from eating poisonous berries etc. and that's kind of what porn in our society reminds me of. It sometimes takes human sacrifice or turmoil to correct an error for the future generation of humans. Being human really is about trial and error until you 'get it right' and I've definitely learned that.

 

That's absolutely right. The technology that gives us the ability to develop this habit, and to see porn to the extent that we do today is very, very new. It's only really been possible for a few decades at most. Just like with anything else we've done over the course of history, it takes trial and error.

There was a time not that long ago when they thought that cigarette smoking was good for you, and they actively promoted it. That's the same kind of thing we see happening with porn. As time goes on, people are going to become more aware of how harmful it actually is.

 

So damn true and crazy. Fortunately, we're getting the word around a little bit more with this shit

 

I always thought porn as being normal. Until I realized I had a problem. It always gave a me a great feeling like I was on top of the world after every session. Then I realized it was just the dopamine making me feel good, meanwhile I was really loosing my life to pmo. Feels bad man.

 

Yeah same. I thought I had discovered something that no one else knew about--strangely enough I didn't know the damage I was inflicting upon thyself. Fuck PMO..keep moving forward and don't look back

 

U know what's funny I just posted those exact words on my journal. I don't plan on letting porn ruin my life anymore. You are not alone bro, I know that feeling, pmo was never real, but porn made us believe it was.
