PORN DEHUMANIZED ME

Hey there,

First off, let's tackle this belief about being a 'monster'. It's a convenient label, isn't it? Kind of like calling yourself an amateur chef when you burn toast. It's an easy way out to avoid facing the real issue. But guess what? This 'monster' label is a costume, not your identity. You're not a creature from a horror movie; you're a human who's lost in a very twisty, turny maze called the Porn Labyrinth.

Now, about this maze – you're right, it's a doozy. It's like one of those video games where you're stuck in a level and can't find the exit. But here's the kicker – you're not playing solo. There are guides, maps, and fellow maze-runners (like me and others here) who are navigating their way out too. We've been through the same dark corridors and dead ends. And let me tell you, the view outside this maze? Absolutely breathtaking!

Think of quitting porn like embarking on a treasure hunt where the treasure is your lost sense of self. Each day without porn is a step closer to finding that chest of gold – your drive, passion, and zest for life. And yes, treasure hunts are hard and full of riddles, but the thrill is in the journey, not just the destination.

And about your future, it's not just bright; it's blindingly brilliant. It's like stepping out of a dingy, dark room into the dazzling sunlight. It's waiting for you, with open arms, ready to embrace the real you. The you that laughs, dreams, and achieves. The you that's been buried under a pile of pixel illusions.

So, don your explorer's hat and get ready for an adventure. It's time to rediscover life beyond the screen, to find passion in the real world, and to turn those 'what-ifs' into 'heck-yes-es'. And remember, every explorer needs a crew, so don't hesitate to lean on others. We're all in this together, navigating the maze, one step at a time.

Never forget, the only way to lose this game is to stop playing. Keep pushing forward, and I promise you, the rewards will be worth more than any porn video could ever offer.

It's your life, and it's time to reclaim it. Let's get cracking on that maze, shall we?

 

Porn dehuminizes EVERYONE and I can't tell you how many time I've thought I was a Monster even from intrusive thoughts I didn't even want.

 

Porn, at its core, is nothing more than pixels arranged in colors, moving in a specific way. It’s like a magician's trick – all smoke and mirrors, yet somehow captivating. But why do these moving pixels wield such power over us? Is it really the pixels themselves, or is it how we perceive the world and ourselves within it?Certainly, porn's super-stimulus effect is like getting lost in a maze with smoke-filled corridors – it traps and confuses us, clouding our judgment and perception. But when you recognize this, when you see the trap for what it is, the challenge shifts. It becomes less about the porn itself and more about our worldview, our self-perception, and our responses to these stimuli.Avoiding the responsibility to see porn for what it truly is – an illusion, a trap – is yet another form of avoidance. It's like refusing to acknowledge that the magician's rabbit was in the hat all along. Understanding this is crucial. The moment you realize that these pixels don't define you or the world, you start taking back control. You begin to see the world more clearly, without the distortion of this digital mirage.Remember, these pixels, these images, they don't have power on their own. We give them power by how we react to them, how we let them influence our thoughts and feelings. The key is to take that power back, to realize that you're not a monster for being caught in the trick. You're human, and recognizing the illusion is the first step towards breaking free from it.It's about changing the narrative. Instead of seeing yourself as a victim of these images, see yourself as someone who's wise to the trick and ready to step out of the maze. The real world, with its genuine connections and experiences, is waiting for you, far away from the pixelated shadows that porn casts.

 

Hello. I'm in a similar situation to you. I've consumed many types of pornographic and I've had disgusting fantasies. I have no hope of forming a normal life, but I'd like to drop all this and do things right.

Sometimes I have negative thoughts. I feel that nothing makes sense and that the best thing would be to leave this world, which would be the best thing for me and for everyone.

I'm also thinking about leaving here to a lonely place, where I can be alone, without being surrounded by people. I think I'd be happy that way.

I'd like to discuss this with someone professional, but I don't have the resources.

 

I'm sorry that you're having these negative thoughts! I think one of the worst things to do when you're depressed is to be away from people. I know this from my experience and from the experience of others. There's definitely a path forward, back into reality.

 

Ever since I was a kid, I always isolated myself from others. Now, added to what I said, I do it even more, I feel that no one would accept me. But it's okay, it doesn't bother me, what does bother me is who I am and I can't change.

Although I would like to meet people just like me.

 

Well, I said many similar things, and said it doesn't bother me. But in my 20s, I put a lot of work into becoming who I wanted to be, and in being more social. I found out that just because I wasn't accepted before, didn't mean I wouldn't be accepted. I could change, and did change. So can you. The alternative is living apart from other people for 60 more years. If you, in your heart of hearts, truly want to feel accepted by others and to grow and be able to confide in others and have them confide in you, the time to start is now, and the change can happen. To be blunt, I think you know you're not ok, and it does bother you, and that what you need to have happen is a belief that you can change. It will take everything you have, and it will take a lot of being uncomfortable, years, but it can happen and will happen.

Please don't take it too harsh, I know it's a tough love treatment.

 

Why you relapsed after 1.3 year of streak ? you should avoid these reasons next time and tell us the reason to help us too. Now you can do what you did before and win the war even if you lose some battles.

 

Remember, porn will never make you feel any better. That's the biggest lie your brain is trying to tell you imo. You will have cravings when you give it up, yes, but guess what? You are going to have those anyway, with or without porn. Only without porn, they are actually worth enduring, because they remind you that you are on a path of healing and saving your energy for more important stuff. With porn, they are a reminder that porn will NEVER EVER satisfy your needs in life.
