    I have decided to quite porn forever. I can see any level is bad for your brain. However I want loads of reasons of why it's bad to help if I ever, as all addicts however intense or no, will have.

    It seems to me that by viewing porn u get unrealistic expectation of things. By that I mean in what your mate will look like, should look like, how they will treat you how u treat them. And also how you should look and bahave.

    Guys give m your opinion. It seems everything g about porn is un realistic. Real sex is gentle not treating someone like a piece of meat. And by using porn as some sort of method of education, we can feel our natural wants and selves are not good enough as by default we compare ourselves and not Consiously have pressure on ourselves.

    Also we expect sex to give the same blast as our first experience with porn which was so intense. But of course that's not the case.
    For all addictions u must say to yourself you don't need it. And to show yourself why it's true have these negative reasons attached to give proof. But also why do u feel u need it work out why. Then see how that's not true. Then you'll be free. I use to think it gave confidence but it doesn't.
     
  2. Porn effects you in many different ways. Most importantly is rewires your brain to expect that rush as often as possible. It ruins sex with a real woman, which is the better than any orgasm you will ever give yourself. It also impact your brain performance in other areas like work, personality, mood etc. It has a big impact on other human relationships as well. It affected my relationships with my family, co-workers, and friends. If you have been involved in PMO for years I do not think you are in touch with who you really are. You can read my journal and see all of the ways it negatively impacted my life. You don't even begin to realize how different life can be until you go through a successful reboot. Hopefully this will encourage you to continue with your reboot.

  3. I guess young people who watched a lot of porn before they had sex may have developed some really stupid ideas.

    Older people watch porn and realise that it is a fantasy. Real sex is different from most porn. If you know that it is easy not to be influenced by porn in that way. You don't get wrong ideas because you already know what sex is like. If you have a functioning moral compass, you turn off the porn clips were people are being mistreated simply because it does not bring pleasure.

  5. i have had sex and i still got roped in, porn feeds on you emotional vulnerability and takes root, it puts on a comforting, fun persona, but in reality it is slowly warping your mind, not everyone who watches porn becomes an addict, because not everyone watches for the same reasons. And i have a very strong moral compass, thats why i realize how bad it is and i want to stop it.

    Thanks for your mature response. I see that porn re wires u to expect that rush as often as possible makes sense to me. However one question i have burning, the rush itself when youre rebooted will u get that same rush as u did when real sex comes to play, im not virgin howrver becausr if the fact ive used porn sincr i was a teen when i was a virgin its effected the sex i have had.

    I can also say that after watching porn consistently for awhile, my performance in school began to suffer. I also wasn't spending as much time with family or friends as I used to.
     
  9. You get the same rush with real sex after you recover and instead of your brain being trained to want more porn it imprints on your wife and you want more of her. That is the way it was designed to be. You just have to get used to the fact that a real woman may not want to have sex as much as when you where using PMO.
