@@CrayonsYummyYummy haha all too familiar with that cycle. Refraining in your singleness will give you more fullness in a healthy relationship though so keep working man it gets better
@iam2000beat as long as u do it in moderation.. and it doesn't affect u negatively I don't think it's a bad thing... I've lit had no prob watching it.. my entire life.. and never felt the need to do it or it affects me/ or relationships bad... I think some ppl are just wired diff and it becomes an addiction for them which is bad... I think ppl are just diff
@@willthomas7666there is no such thing as a healthy porn consumption. You are either addicted or you are free from it. It is a cancer to your soul and your brain. Poison.
I LOVE how he said "I'm not just tossing my intimacy away to someone through a screen or someone who doesn't mean anything to me." Nailed it on the head. Your intimacy is for you and your partner and it's to be sacred and respected.
And plenty of people will never have one. & If you're a Christian you only get one out of the whole world if you find a unicorn & a huge percent get a small fraction of the married years with that experience; drops, dwindles , withheld..Many other cultures & faiths promote many different partners, experiences .
Easy for a woman to say, most porn addicts are young men (Many started using as children, our governments really should have made it illegal by default and unlocked by some other means) and they have probably had mild or worse traumas in childhood and use it to numb themselves of pain. They also rarely have partners to be intimate with in the first place, a healthy relationship would ease loneliness which is one things that prompts porn use. Do you know what its like to be a young man today? 63% of men under 30 are single compared to 34% of women under 30. So women are dating older men with more money and confidence or these days they are dating other women. Women are human beings, men are human doings. Women get loved for who they are or how they look and men get loved for what they do and not many young men are good at things yet. The more desirable men are also dating multiple women which leaves fewer options for the average guys. Do you know what its like to be expected to be the one to make the first move and then when you use all your willpower to work up the courage to ask someone out you find out they already have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend. Even if they were single, rejection is the default response you are likely to get because women are after high status males and are picky. Imagine you ask out 10 women, chances are 8/10 will reject you or be in a relationship and the 2 that do go on a date with you, will just not like your personality (Certain personality types don't vibe together), it wont be an unpleasant experience but it wont lead anywhere. When this is your experience of dating and trying to date its no wonder so many men resort to easy sexual thrills of porn that can reduce the painful emotions of life in the short term (Though long term it causes more suffering).
Being so honest and uninhibited about a deep personal struggle like this, and with a woman, no doubt. Props to Theo for being such an endearing stud and to Dr. Tara Swart for being so non-judgmental!
Most podcasters are so full of themselves it’s hard to keep watching. Theo is real about himself. He struggles like the rest of us. If you come from a home with parents or parent who struggled you have to learn how to get through life and overcome a lot. A lot of the world is struggling with porn. Of course some do not care if they watch it but some do. I hope no one ever makes him feel stupid for wanting to let go of it. I have been off of it and feel a 100 percent better in my mind. It does make you more interested in knowing ppl and listening to them. Helps you use your mind more and be more intimate.
He's very self aware, and you can tell he's experienced some real stuff. He wasn't born on third base like a lot of these guys and he got famous for being genuinely funny
I wish it was just porn. I listened to a great podcast with Jordan Harbinger and Anna Lembke (Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence). We have so much at our fingertips great porn, screen addiction, social media, TH-cam, addictive tasty foods, drugs, and comfortable lives. We were designed to always want more even if we are comfortable. It takes a lot of mental fortitude to do what Theo is doing, sadly most people fail at this.
I hate how normalised it’s becoming also. Like kids are watching TH-camrs and streamers making content with OF girls and Pstars. That should not be happening
Theo is such a good voice because you know he reaches a very unlikely crowd of younger people who may actually benefit from hearing this kind of stuff , and listen to it because it’s coming from him!
I know not everyone who is trying to get off porn is religious - but as a Christian lady, I realized I had a really narrow mindset on my porn struggle. Either A) The Lord was going to 'heal' me of my struggle with it, or I'd be sinful forever and keep turning to porn. But I never considered the option that He might not take the struggle from me. Would I still choose to follow Him even if I struggled and felt tempted all my life? That changed everything for me a month or so ago, and i've been free from the temptation to seek it out since.
Same with me as well. I remember watching those spicy shows on Cinemax late at night in high school. Then seggs scenes in movies and shows. The amount of chances I made myself miss out on with women that would’ve been the one for me.
Same.. got off bad into the Asians at that age. Now it’s like if I’m horned up, I can’t get my heart rate down until the deed is done. Luckily I have a woman now and am secure in my relationship.
Crazy watching this rn. porn was the deciding factor of my last relationship. Have given it up I feel for good now only through putting some of my faith back into god because I can’t do it alone I thought I could for a long time
Single or not, it's actually necessary and healthy for your body to empty the tank every 3-4 days. That's why people who hold off for too long will eventually have a "wet dream", it's your body's way to do the necessary job that you won't do. Pornography is bad for a plethora of reasons, but not masturbation as a whole, so single people can and should do it once or twice a week (without porn) to maintain prostate health and immune functions.
Love this work you’re doing brother. In the last year I have worked with over 150 men helping them with porn addiction. Pretty rewarding work helping men develop healthier self love and deeper connection with others.
The three key points I’ve seen for any impulse control issue is this: -lack of internal emotional awareness that leads to emotional escape -lack of objective reasoning -dopamine dysregulation and conditioning of the behavior
Of of these things relate to skills we can develop rather than flaws in our character or some kind of moral failing which can be the overwhelming experience men have when porn has gotten so out of hand (see what I did there)
I really appreciate how she left him finish his train of thought before she can share her knowledge Theo also did the same This is an example of a good convo
You are not the average guy.. in Hollywood and trash s People you are. That's not normal around many decent men & woman. You just surrounded yourself by trash and decided to dig into trash. Any man who brings a little girl on this earth and can get turned on by some other man's daughter half his age has lost his soul.
nofap since the end of 2019, and no porn since early 2020.. every aspect of my life sky rocketed once I quit it. First 6 months were hard, now I don’t think about it much. Can’t imagine how advanced the videos haven’t gotten since then
I’m a 26 year old woman who watches porn often and I’ve struggled to see how it affects me negatively but now I’m starting to… I definitely do focus way too much on sexuality and not intimacy/connection. My ex didn’t have a high sex drive and said how he values just being with me and snuggling me way more than having sex and that hurt/offended me because I felt like he was saying he doesn’t like having sex with me. I know he didn’t mean it like that and he assured me when we did make love he really enjoyed it but I have this idea in my head that he should want to have sex all the time and if he didn’t, then I wasn’t attractive or desirable or valuable to him. Fucked up.
Well said. I think this is how most men feel. It’s important to know that people have different libidos and it doesn’t mean they don’t love us. I learned how to wait a few days or more and appreciate how the gap in time made the intimacy more special . I also learned, like Theo said, to take that sexual energy and refocus it into my body to feel good and strong and more productive
For me it's about both. I want that heart connection but I also want that deep passionate sexual bond. The world views sex as this animalistic urge and this commodity to be used as an exchange of power or value, but the truth is that sex is the conduit to your soul and when you combine it with the heart connection it is the most powerful form of exchanging love you can ever experience. You can love a person down to the fiber of their being if you have a heart connection with them during sex.
@ozoz189, men are demonized for even wanting sex. Sex isn't just this urge that men have. It's one of the greatest ways we give love. But women don't want to receive it because they gaslight themselves into thinking it's all men want.
Don't be to harsh, don't do ALL or NOTHING. It's a struggle that will continue for life.. And if you can lower the volume of watching from everyday to every other day thats huge.. Its like some people go ALL IN and go to the gym 5 days a week for a period, and as soon as they miss a week they say fck it now im out.. Get in it for the long run, adjust, experiment, try to find ways to abstain.. most likely you wont kick it off completely immediately.. but perhaps in a year or two, after x amount of relapses and lessons learned.. Feel.. introspect.. notice how it feels and how mindset and approach differs.. Respect brother.. inspire us!
@@MentalSelfcarewhat really helped for me was gradually decreasing the intensity of porn where at the end I was just looking at girls in bikinis and now nothing at all
Always on day one. Just have the plan to make it through today. Please read Atomic Habits - find the things you want to reward and find ways to disincentivize and make less desirable the habits you don't want to do. Keep it going this one day, you can do it!
Man, hearing this 12 year old open up about sexuality to a professional who cares was a real touching moment. It's nice that since her passing, he still occasionally thinks about the Queen.
Theo kind of crafts this fell-off-the-turnip-truck personae, but he really has a lot of wisdom. He can articulate very profound observations in a unique way. For example, describing masturbation and jizzing as a masculinity leak. That's such a creative way of expressing that idea. He hides these super articulate gems in a charade of silliness.
Theo it’s seriously awesome thats your talking about this because you have the perfect platform to reach young men. And more people need to talk about this I got so much respect for you! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Very courageous of Theo Von to share his struggles with this much transparency. Gives us a new perspective of how to look at the problem and dangers of porno. Much appreciated.
Look at Theo, changing young people’s brain chemistry, one at a time, by demonstrating how its possible for vulnerability to be lighthearted, yet informal, & sharing his struggles w/ something so raw as his emotional ties this taboo topic that is as widespread as his platform’s reach 🎊
Not to mention what they push ON THOSE sites. Tran? Interrac? Hangin? Cckhld? Aint no FKN way people search for that stuff. Its PUSHED on them by the T. Hats, so the people become normalized to it. Then its recommended to them in "related" videos (which are almost ALWAYS not even close to what you were watching) search term inaccurate search results etc. All in such a way that brainwashes people. Then after constant repeat exposure, something clicks, and now people Don't even realize they were manipulated into seeking OUT that garbage. If every time you got your cucumber in your hand, youre exposed to that trash, you will eventually TRAIN your brain to enjoy it by auto-association to the material in front of you. If Corn stayed healthy people would too. The statistics dont like from incst crimes increasing HEAVY each year. And guess what else has increased like crazy? Yep. Sibling related corn. Step this step that, Even into QUESTIONABLE territory, making claims ACTUAL relations on those videos. Brainwashing people into commuting crimes against family members. Its some dark stuff man. All at the operational behest of the small hat. Subversion. Its no joke. Always ask the question. So. Which books DID those Nzis burn?
I swear Theo von has become more of a shining light for me during these hard times. Makes me laugh and can break down the common issues we all know very simply. Thank you Mr. Theo Von sir.
It's hard for young men to resist porn, which really is quite a waste of time and energy. I understand the industry exists as part of "free speech", but it really is not a good thing.
It has existed in various (and far worse) forms since the dawn of human beings. We are animals first… our intellect alone allows us to control animal instinct.
It creates faulty neuronal pathways it’s like an invisible poison because the images stay in your mind through those created neuronal pathways, to repair it you must commit the rest of your life to building and replacing those thinking patterns to other positive ones and never watch it again
I think if you're mentally healthy you can settle into a relationship. But if you aren't happy or lack reasoning or connection porn can exasperated issues.
Theo is probably one of the only podcasters who can so openly talk about himself.

Don't be to harsh, don't do ALL or NOTHING. It's a struggle that will continue for life..
And if you can lower the volume of watching from everyday to every other day thats huge..
Its like some people go ALL IN and go to the gym 5 days a week for a period, and as soon as they miss a week they say fck it now im out..
Get in it for the long run, adjust, experiment, try to find ways to abstain.. most likely you wont kick it off completely immediately.. but perhaps in a year or two, after x amount of relapses and lessons learned..
Feel.. introspect.. notice how it feels and how mindset and approach differs..
Respect brother.. inspire us!
@@MentalSelfcarewhat really helped for me was gradually decreasing the intensity of porn where at the end I was just looking at girls in bikinis and now nothing at all
@@MentalSelfcare thanks bro I definitely needed to hear that! ❤️
You still going?@@ceebs83
Always on day one. Just have the plan to make it through today. Please read Atomic Habits - find the things you want to reward and find ways to disincentivize and make less desirable the habits you don't want to do. Keep it going this one day, you can do it!
Theo is your buddy who gets sober and actually gets SOBER. Made respect for Theo on his recovery.
Love how content nowadays is much more open and honest
when something's free, you're the product!
Theo going deeep!
Good job bro. Sobriety is reality.
Theo has humility level 1000, it’s a great attribute.
I'm so happy more people understand theos humor.
theo opening up and her at 3:30 makes it a perfect clip
Man, hearing this 12 year old open up about sexuality to a professional who cares was a real touching moment.
It's nice that since her passing, he still occasionally thinks about the Queen.
😂😂😂😂
Well said Theo … you keep it real. “Holding your seed” keeps you focused on strength & discipline versus weakness & indulgence.
That’s what I love about Theo, he’s to honest for this world 😂…… like Superman with autism
I love watching smart people who aren't academic... Theo is one of those guys... he's much easier to follow and understand, and relate to
Theo kind of crafts this fell-off-the-turnip-truck personae, but he really has a lot of wisdom. He can articulate very profound observations in a unique way. For example, describing masturbation and jizzing as a masculinity leak. That's such a creative way of expressing that idea. He hides these super articulate gems in a charade of silliness.
He uses comedy as a distraction/coping mechanism I think. And he's very good at it
I literally think its because of the acid he took when he was like 10 or something
‘Party sauce’ did it for me thank you!
Theo it’s seriously awesome thats your talking about this because you have the perfect platform to reach young men. And more people need to talk about this I got so much respect for you! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
That first "yea" had me cracking up.
LOL
I fnd your transparency so refreshing. This was a fascinating & humourous topic on your podcast. Great guest and content. Thanks Theo.
I was clean for a year but relapsed again and struggling. This happened after my break up.
Praying for you.
@@oyatero2 thank you 🙏
Facts after you break up with your lady you need something lol I’m dealing with same ish
Your woman is probably looking up guys jacking off snd loving how much bigger their dicks are over yours.
Don’t judge yourself for it dude. It’s not like you did crack.
Very courageous of Theo Von to share his struggles with this much transparency. Gives us a new perspective of how to look at the problem and dangers of porno. Much appreciated.
We would rather let ourselves down than other people
Accountability. That’s why confession is such a powerful sacrament.
Theo's ability to say things in an incredibly funny way offset the embarrassment of talking about incredibly vulnerable things
Look at Theo, changing young people’s brain chemistry, one at a time, by demonstrating how its possible for vulnerability to be lighthearted, yet informal, & sharing his struggles w/ something so raw as his emotional ties this taboo topic that is as widespread as his platform’s reach 🎊
"Squirrel attacks twink"😂
Theo is just a genuine good honest guy. Love it!
Thinking of the Queen 😂
Dude - thank you for being so open to something so personal and embarrassing
The "Yeah" at 3:43 is the exact feeling I got as an ex-addict. The shadow is always there bro, wanting more.
Yes, our guy hits it deep!
It really starts at 3:41
She got horny bro
It gets easier, but it never stops.
Tiny hats… HUGE problems
Not to mention what they push ON THOSE sites. Tran? Interrac? Hangin? Cckhld? Aint no FKN way people search for that stuff. Its PUSHED on them by the T. Hats, so the people become normalized to it. Then its recommended to them in "related" videos (which are almost ALWAYS not even close to what you were watching) search term inaccurate search results etc. All in such a way that brainwashes people. Then after constant repeat exposure, something clicks, and now people Don't even realize they were manipulated into seeking OUT that garbage. If every time you got your cucumber in your hand, youre exposed to that trash, you will eventually TRAIN your brain to enjoy it by auto-association to the material in front of you. If Corn stayed healthy people would too. The statistics dont like from incst crimes increasing HEAVY each year. And guess what else has increased like crazy? Yep. Sibling related corn. Step this step that, Even into QUESTIONABLE territory, making claims ACTUAL relations on those videos. Brainwashing people into commuting crimes against family members. Its some dark stuff man. All at the operational behest of the small hat. Subversion. Its no joke. Always ask the question. So. Which books DID those Nzis burn?
Amish life got you down, brother?
The big nose with tiny hats that's what he meant 😅@@russianbot4418
I swear Theo von has become more of a shining light for me during these hard times. Makes me laugh and can break down the common issues we all know very simply. Thank you Mr. Theo Von sir.
Real one right takes a man to admit this more people are effected by this than you think
Theo Von: a real good man.
Tugging the boat.
KEEP THE STREAK GOING KING!
It's hard for young men to resist porn, which really is quite a waste of time and energy. I understand the industry exists as part of "free speech", but it really is not a good thing.
It has existed in various (and far worse) forms since the dawn of human beings. We are animals first… our intellect alone allows us to control animal instinct.
It creates faulty neuronal pathways it’s like an invisible poison because the images stay in your mind through those created neuronal pathways, to repair it you must commit the rest of your life to building and replacing those thinking patterns to other positive ones and never watch it again
Semen retention is the truth. Has changed my life for the better
I had to stop x videos to watch some Theo von
Good call 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get back to that Sky Bri vid
That’s the best way I’ve ever heard this put. More guys need to hear this
I think if you're mentally healthy you can settle into a relationship. But if you aren't happy or lack reasoning or connection porn can exasperated issues.
"thinking of the queen" is diabolical work Theo!
I love Theo's honesty!!!
He a real one, and a poet.
4:52 how do u know that buddy??😂😂😂
Theo you are my new therapist thank you
