porn and life as we know it

Something I have wondered for a long time is how much impact porn addiction has on the world around us.

I know I am addicted, but knowing what it's like and what I have learnt from NoFap and other sites makes Me wonder. In the UK, the highest percentage of suicides are by young males. A number that has increased more and more each year. I see these statistics and can't help but wonder if pornography addiction is a silent killer for many of these poor people.

I then wonder about things like peadophilia, rape and other horrible sexual related crimes and question how many of these attackers are people who have become addicted and their route down the harder and harder porn channels has taken them to a place where they need to commit these crimes to get their fix. Just the other day I read about the guy from glee who plays puck having child porn on his computer etc. Is this another case of someone who is truly absorbed by this addiction and has just gone too far into the extremes to get his fix.

I can't help but think if there was a blanket ban across the internet for porn what would happen to statistics such as suicide rates, number of convicted peaodophiles, number of convicted rapes. Would they drop?

I remember watching a documentary about paedophilia where the guys who were arrested talk about what they go through and they just cannot help themselves, they are sexuay attracted and thats that! And the urges just push them even though they often don't want to. Did these guys always have this urge or has it developed.

I think many of us know how quickly watching simple porn can turn into watching some really fucked up shit.

What does everyone think?

Just some thoughts after having a particurky bad day lol

 

I think it's terrorfying how fragile the mind is and how little is known in general public! Like, sex education should really cover porn addiction In schools.

But it isn't the only thing that causes problems. I had a coffee addiction too, the caffiene made my adrenaline gland go on the Fritz so basically the anxiety was heightened! Since quitting coffee my standard of life has been better but now the porn needs to go. But so many doctors tried to put me on drugs and stuff like that when a kite restraint is what helps

I know from my NoFap streaks how it makes me feel and I love it. I just can't beat the cravings its so hard!

 

Yeah addiction is such a mad thing to read about. I think sugar and good addiction is also rife. For porn the addiction causes depression and anxiety, for food its obesity.

I like to think of it like the classic conscience depiction. On my left side is the angel. On my right the devil. But with addiction, both of these have been knocked out by a third character who is a total scumbag junkie who when you grab a fix appears kind and gentle and the longer you take to give him his next fix the more scumbag he becomes, urging you and persuading you while the devil and angel are knocked out and can't have a say themselves that would be rational.
