The Truth About Porn

So lately I’ve been doing lots of research and reading through books, YouTube, podcasts, etc, on how toxic porn is to the human brain. Porn will ONLY cause negative effects for men in the long run. A lot of this information I’m coming across has only come out in the past couple years, so I can’t imagine what damage it’s going to cause in men say 10+ years from now. Especially with all the sad shit like VR Porn being normalized and becoming more popular.
Now my theory on all of this is that porn has been normalized and introduced into society to demasculinize men. Think about it this way, imagine how different the world would be today if all men didn’t watch porn or rarely masturbated... I think it would be hugely different in many aspects.
Not to mention the rapidly increasing number of divorces and relationship fallouts that occur in today’s world, I think that should raise a huge red flag. Once again, if porn wasn’t normalized, free and so easily accessible, I don’t think men and women would be having as many relationship issues as they do today.
From my point of view, this is due to the ‘Coolidge Effect’ (google it if you don’t know what it is). Once a man believes he has had sex with his partner enough to no longer be turned on as much as he first once was with her, then he starts searching for his next type of ideal woman that will cause a new and bigger rush of dopamine and chemical reaction in his brain. Then eventually the stimulation for that new ideal woman will decrease, so he seeks out his next target (woman) to give him that addictive chemical reaction/rush.
Porn has made this so easy for men and has brainwashed men into thinking it’s normal to have this mindset.

I think porn can lead men into many mental problems too, for myself being a recovering porn addict after 6 years and suffering PIED at a stage, I discovered this first hand. It’s all related to being addicted to a chemical reaction. Eventually your mind will no longer get the rush it once did from your favorite video or picture so it seeks out the next ‘big rush’ content. (Again this is related to the Coolidge Effect). Causing you to become psychologically addicted to certain brain chemicals (dopamine, etc). And after years of practicing this, it will lead you into some dark shit like paraphilias and fetishes you weren’t meant to develop (keep in mind these are still reversible with the right methods of healing the brain).
For example, just look at the amount of guys recovering on this forum from being addicted to femdom and sissy bullshit. They know deep down it’s not right, but they can’t seem to let go of the chemical addiction in their brain. Hence how porn is demasculinizing them and many other men.
Not to mention the increasing number of men suffering from anxiety and depression, that’s a discussion for another time though.

Take the evil Ted Bundy for example, if you know the background story to his early days before he committed the terrible acts he did, he was addicted to pornography. It escalated with time, and he was seeking that next ‘big rush’ which would get him sexually aroused. This leading him to killing women which aroused him, a form of paraphillia. The guy even confessed the day he died that he believes pornography led him to these devilish acts.
Now I’m not saying men who are addicted to pornography will end up like Ted Bundy, this is just an extreme case of someone becoming mentally addicted to a certain biochemical reaction with their body and mind.

In the end of the day, Porn is a business and what do businesses love more then anything...? Money! They want you to become addicted so then they can earn money off of the amount of visitors that go through their website/domain and earn profit through ads etc.

Lastly, nothing good comes from porn. It teaches you no good, and if anything it’s stripping your soul purpose as a human being. You’re on this earth to learn as much positive information as possible and become the happiest, strongest and most positive self you can become. That way you won’t be full of regret lying on your death bed wondering why you wasted so much time on pointless pornography which taught you nothing but how to ruin your life and kill your masculinity as a man.

Comments and discussion welcome.

Peace.

Something that frustrates me and is incredibly mind boggling for me, is wondering why porn is free and so easily accessible. It is clearly understandable why so many porn addicts struggle to give up porn addiction because of how easy it is to access and fall back into that life cycle pattern. For certain people that have any type of addiction, whether it’s illicit drugs, smoking or alcohol, they physically have to make the effort to leave their house and fill their addictive needs by going to the store or meeting their drug dealer. Where with porn, they don’t have to leave their house and it’s within a click of a button that they are able to access it. Therefore I think porn is by far one of the hardest addictions for an individual to give up. Yes the withdrawal symptoms aren’t as bad say as a heroin addict, but the accessibility will always be a lot easier compared to other addictions. Since this is the case, the same addictive neurological pathways can be triggered just by opening up an internet browser or browsing through instagram and other social media platforms when seeing content of attractive looking women. Therefore it’s a lot harder to go cold turkey with this addiction compared to other addictions. I just personally wish pornography wasn’t free, because I think that would prevent a lot of guys from relapsing. Especially considering the type of chemical reactions it sets off in the brain compared to other normal content on the internet. Although if an individual is able to defeat pornography addiction, there will be a huge amount of discipline and self control learnt throughout the process. This will be hugely rewarding in many areas of your life and will allow you to be way more self conscious and disciplined with yourself in the future. Major positive life lessons can be learnt through defeating this toxic addiction.

I genuinely believe the porn industry wants to hook people in as addicts so they can earn more profit. That’s why I completely resent against the porn industry. They don’t want the best for you in life. Simple as that.

 

When did I state that I want to remove porn from society...? I’m not for banning or removing porn from society at all, I just personally believe the world would look different if men didn’t abuse it like they do today (that’s my personal belief, you can think whatever you want).
All I have mentioned was the negative effects it can have on men in society if abused frequently and not used in moderation. I don’t agree with porn having positive benefits and believe it has a much larger scale of negative side effects. People that use excuses and say Porn cures their depression or loneliness, are truly not facing the big picture in their life. If they are suffering in these ways, they need to solve it by going out into the real world and working on their personal agenda, staring at a fucking screen with pixels on it, isn’t going to solve that. But from your perspective it seems as if you think porn will do more good for people with psychological issues then bad... ooookay then. It will only ever end up causing short term gain and long term pain. And for you to think that removing porn would increase things like rape culture is unbelievably idiotic. Porn has allowed to lead men into these categories by triggering an addictive chemical reaction in their mind and body. Without porn, it would be a lot harder for men to explore their own evilness.
I’m sure travelling to a 3rd world country like Bangladesh will help me understand the implications of banning porn and how it effects a country/society... hmmm yeahhhhhh great point buddy... Keep in mind a place like Bangladesh is heavily controlled by religion and believe that porn had caused people in their country to behave more perverted after viewing porn.

I like how you’re jumping to the absolute extremes with your point of view. It’s kind of amusing to see. Seems like you’re the sort of person who just wants to win arguments and be right. I’m not trying to convince people to never look at porn or encourage the banning of porn as a whole. All I’m trying to do is educate people on the negative outcomes it can lead to and what my outlook on it is if it were not free and normalised by society.

 

Much appreciated brother!

 

Well sorry to break it to you mate, but I didn’t start this thread to have an argument. I appreciate your perspective and where you’re coming from, but not one thing you have mentioned I can agree on. I’m speaking from personal experience and knowledge I have gained through doing tons of research through books, forums and videos. If you seriously want me or anyone else to reference every bit of research and evidence we have gained, then you came to the wrong thread buddy. That’s being incredibly obnoxious to request that someone on a nofap thread supports every bit of evidence with sourced references. You can do your own research. We aren’t your college students. For the people that want to know the books and research I have read, they can PM me. The people on this forum are seeking help and advice on how to conquer and understand nofap/not using porn and how it has affected others personally.
Therefore I want to help these individuals by letting them understand the potential negative side effects it can cause. But if you expect someone to start mentioning the positive benefits porn may have for someone in the short term on NoFap's forum.... then you my friend are a moron. I’m not here to try and predict the future, win arguments and provide both sides of positives and negatives, so then people can decide for themselves which one they are drawn towards. That’s ridiculous, especially for NoFap's forum.

Sorry to break another downer for you mate, but not one person has agreed with your point of view on this thread.
I will acknowledge where you’re coming and respect that. Nothing else.
