    I truly believe that porn will be considered the cigarettes of our generation. To think that only 30 years ago, a curious kid only had Playboy magazines, a VHS tape or two. Today, they have access to the entire internet - All the fetish, extreme, rough, degrading videos, things that adults of previous generations may have never seen in their lifetimes. And they will have viewed all of it before they hit puberty. Before they have taken Sex Ed in school.

I can find something I like about you as a woman physically. That’s the easy part, but what really puts the icing on the cake is your voice/personality. I’m attracted to the soul inside of woman.

    This isn’t an addiction to be proud of. Pornography dulls your emotions. It affects your sex drive and wholly affects your day to day life. It’s a cancer to the brain. A virus that doesn’t get better but can steadily get worse. I’ve been an addict since childhood. For YEARS I’ve tried to quit. The struggle just to stop thinking about it is beyond comprehension. It warps your visual of people and it can warp you as a person. I know the feeling of self disgust all too well. It is hard to see the good in yourself when after all is said and done, you think how you’ve not only taken advantage of images of other people doing obscene explicit things, but it makes you feel like total garbage.
    I am not proud of it. It’s a self destructive force. I’ve heard the side where people have said it helps. I don’t see it. They’re fooling themselves. It’s a horrible horrible addiction. Makes me sick to my stomach to know such a stain has been with me the majority of my lifetime.

      Addiction is our brain trying to make us feel better. Sex, porn, drugs, shopping, gambling, these are all addictions but they come from the same place of us trying to not feel pain.
      The reason why drug addicts relapse and why any addict relapses is bcuz we're always focused on the addiction itself. But our addiction is the SYMPTOM of something else. We have to do soul searching and therapy and figure out the CAUSE, which is some sort of trauma we suffered. Usually during childhood. I

      I'm basically an "addict" since age 11 (22 now) and I really feel and see the consequences of abusing my reward system for that long.
      A thing that motivates me is that even if you stay clean for 2-3 days (which is an incredible achievement for my standards) and relapse, there is still a lasting benefit from not giving your brain that senseless pleasure like overall better mood, being more social.
      So you don't start from zero, but it's also important to make sure not to "stabilize" your addict mind by jacking off 3 times in a row, which is easier said than done

      Exactly and it makes sense. It's the same with any other addiction. You don't see former meth addicts that just occasionally smoke meth every now and then because they don't exist. You can insert any type of addiction, but my point is that our brains will try to rationalize and justify ANY reason to get that "kick" again.
      I made this mistake a lot with porn/masturbation and the only way to beat it is to abstain 100%. You have to be aware of yourself and these thoughts when they come and actively shut them down. Without that you'll be in an endless loop of relapsing, I can tell you from experience.

    I've abstained from watching porn and masturbation on and off for weeks or months at random times, and managed to quit for two years until I relapsed this August but stopped again somewhere around September or October after realizing just how boring masturbation is and how abnormal it is to watch other people copulate, but worst of all is learning that many of the women in these porn videos may very well be victims of sex trafficking (literally being raped for our entertainment).
    My addiction to porn has been rather effortless to put an end to, but the damage to my perception of women remains. There's a part of my mind that involuntarily tries to sexualize my thoughts about a woman I may think of and its disgusts me. I'm 24 now but deeply regret having been introduced to porn by peer influence at the early age of 13 and I'm sure my interactions with women could have turned out differently, especially with those who had an intimate interest in me.
    The side effects of watching pornography should never be downplayed or underestimated.

    I hate pornography, at least as it is now. I was trafficked as a young woman and I frequently feel that a lot of what is out there is likely part of that. The violence in some of what I have seen is disgusting. My partners throughout my life have always hidden it and lied about it, despite my initial attempts to accept it as what men do. In arguments I have been told that it is necessary for them to watch it to want to touch me, that I don't measure up to what they want or need. I have also found a former partner to be watching things I find morally repugnant and then wanting to use me as an outlet for that energy. Now I don't want a man to touch me if I even suspect he was watching porn beforehand. It makes me feel like a masturbation tool rather than a person. How do I move beyond that?

      If you are looking for a man who has never been in the clutches of porn addiction, then I am very sorry to tell you that you will likely never find one. I wish it was different, for both men and women’s sake. It is an exploitation that finds virtually all of us from a very young age, during a time in our lives when we simply don’t know any better. Some of us overcome it, some of us want to, some of us burry our heads in the sand, but at one point or another nearly all of us have been addicts.

Simultaneously, Im also battling multiple mental disorders which is a hell on its own, long story short, if anyone reads this, Quit porn forever and dont look back because if you do you will only go deeper in the rabbit hole of it.

I had a very high sex drive, but was only able to get it once a week if lucky and he never ejaculated. It made me very insecure although I was definitely attractive and in great shape.

And then I realized that this had everything to do with him. That broke me, to know that I was only used primarily for sexual gratification and when I no longer served that purpose he looked elsewhere.

It was Dr. Peterson's message of being strong and standing up and telling the truth that finally gave me the strength and assurance to do just that. I stood up to him (the abuser) and spoke the truth, and he attacked me, and I managed to get away and I ran away. I am still navigating the final results of that, but I can relate to SO MUCH of what he says.

These addictions made me feel like I had control, even for just a small timeframe. The hardest part of trying to quit is when it feels like there is nothing else to life, a voice in your head really sells the idea of "one more drink" or "just masturbate, what would be the harm in doing it one more time? It'll feel good. " You have to not only persuade yourself that you're worth the effort of trying, but that quitting will yield the desired results.

    My ex “50” is extremely addicted to porn. I am a natural attractive woman, but he insisted on pornography over me. I voiced my concern’s,and really tried to help him understand what he was doing was not only wrong for himself, but hurting me and our relationship. He would masturbate to porn and watch porn while we were trying to be intimate. He tried to convince me that was just part of who he was, and he was not going to change so I had to show him the door. I found it extremely damaging to my self-esteem, knowing that I could not compete with the instant gratification, overstimulated, selfishness! I truly find everything Jordan Patterson teaches, is extremely beneficial to all humanity! Thank you

    What has to be stressed and brought in as absolutely crucial and important element in the issue of falling into addictions of any kind, and overcoming them, is the day-to-day, determent and deliberate building of a deep and intimate relationship with God as always present in our lives. The Love of God is unconditional beyond comprehension, and will heal and transform you entirely. Always appear before God exactly and totally completely sincerely as you are, to experience the grace. Conditions are man made. Shame is man made. God's love is far beyond that, and greater than anything imaginable. You will be healed. Trust. Believe. Hallelujah! 🕊

    Anything and everything we do at an extreme is an addiction and whenever you try quitting an addiction, you will go through withdrawals that will make you irritable, not pleasant to be around, it'll be hard, but it is possible.
    Quitting drugs, alcohol, porn, sugar, salt, medication, sweets, soda, ice cream; It's the reverse of building a habit, slowly quit little by little, day by day... It takes 90 days to successfully build a habit, it'll take you 90 days to also quit an addiction. There are stages you'll need to fight through, and each time you fight through those stages and succeed, the end/start get closer and closer.
    This is a rule for life, for anything and everything in life.
    I quit smoking in 2017, took about 3 months, little by little, with the aid of nicotine patches and support by haters that were surprised that, I, a heavy smoker that smoked the most in the group, was the one that was able to quit. People will be surprised because they don't expect it from you because you both come from the same place, and they hate to know you're doing better. They'll act friendly and supportive in front of you, but talk down on you and say things behind your back.

    4.03 they decline AT FIRST. But then eventually increase when the data sample is expanded over a longer period. As pornography is addictive one needs more extreme images to get turned on, eventually one will want to act out such scenes, especially with younger users. The sexual violence statistics in juveniles committed against younger children are alarming and they are usually mimicing scenes they’ve witnessed in pornography. It’s a blight on our society: the damage it does is becoming clearer with each passing year.

    Anyone who thinks porn isn't an addiction (or can be) is lying to themselves. I was unfortunately exposed to it at a very young age and it's (unfortunately) been a main stay in my life since then. I've tried to quit it cold turkey so many times and it's caused alot of pain and suffering for me. I ultimately take full responsibility for it and don't blame anyone else, but this stuff is dangerous. I've also gone from watching softcore content to extreme hardcore stuff, which is pretty messed up. Furthermore, I've had sessions where I've literally watched it for 6 hours at a time and then done the same thing the next day. Furthermore, I started to move in to watching cam girls, which led me to spending I'd say around $3000 on these sites. Porn is a major problem, not only for me but for society as a whole. The quicker we recognise this and put it to a stop to it/censor it as best as possible, the better.
