People don't watch porn, they USE it and that's important to understand. I've stopped using it now and have been clean for nearly 18 months. I had to learn the hard way, i nearly lost everything. Porn is so much like a drug, people often don't realise how much it controls their life until they actually try to stop. i would challenge anyone who uses it to stop for a year
any tips how to stop from real experiences?? I made a blog-forum about sex addiction www.incognito-s.com and try to explain this to myself and others how does it feel from inside.
This video is gold.... I didn't think I could find a video that speaks on the harm of porn but isn't pushing religion. I'm very impressed... Thank you Teal Swan!!!
Spot on. A client of mine has been addicted to porn for 17 years. He’s been trying to quit porn for the past 7 years. For him porn is an escape from reality, an escape from pain, a form of self-medication. The client says he doesn’t even enjoy it any more but can’t stop because he’s addicted. I informed him porn addiction is almost as bad as heroin addiction. It works the same centers of the brain in the same way. We're still working on it. I will share this video with my client.
👀Not ideal to tell or confirm to someone that their addiction is one of the hardest to break. The subconscious is always listening and the placebo effect is a thing.
@@MistressHypnotistOfficial I do not agree with you. It is beneficial to accept that their addiction is not something that can be overcome overnight and without deep introspection, healing and accepting help by other people. Other than I am not sure if the content on your TH-cam channel and Onlyfans is helping to create a better world. Maybe you could think about things you could do with your surely remarkable skills, that would benefit you and other people in a more healthy way. A hypnosis for helping subjects to free themselves off their addictions could be a great start. Not trying to judge you, but trying to make you overthink if you really want to do what you are doing.
"You can not watch porn and feel good about yourself", damn right! This video will be halpfull to many, I hope so, and I thank you very much! You're so smart and well-intentioned!! Thank you so much!!! God bless!
I think the hardest part was not believing someone would see me in a sexually intimate way. Guess not being thought of as attractive early in life led to that.
struggling with porn so much. I feel ashamed, hateful, stressed, and embarrassed even mentioning it. Its ruining my life now and I'm so behind with work because when I get stressed out I turn to it, but now my head is on fire an ive had enough
I’ve been trying to quit for 1,5 year now. Got addicted at an age of 11 because of a tough family situation. Thank you for your wisdom. I have gained great insight trough this video!
Not even three minutes in and she hits my nail on its head. I'm very glad to see someone talking about these fragile and non-discussed matters in a knowledgeable yet sensitive way. Not only am I feeling at ease for the first time while watching someone talk about these things, but I am actually understanding them much better right away when I've been inwardly searching for these answers about myself for some long time now...
I wish my boyfriend would watch this, but he is in denial. We've had a wonderful relationship almost 8 years. He's gotten addicted to porn so bad that he has viewed me differently and has sex with me differently. It's all about him and our love and friendship has become nothing but darkness. It sucks to build a life with someone who doesn't even want to change but expects me to. It really hurts and I feel so lost. I don't want to give up but he's becoming so mean and acts like there is something wrong with me when his words has become thorns and I am tired of getting cut; I just can't shake off the feeling of how great everything was up until recently. So I guess I'm pretty resentful but am trying to harness my energy in a positive way by focusing on my spirituality and healing.
@@JoRobertsGaming1984 I maybe mistaken but man j don't understand why people stick on to toxic relationships for so long. I mean you give them a chance maybe two, if they still ain't budging then it's time to leave.
Seeing how many teenagers and even kids as young as 13 are trying to escape this addiction just breaks my heart. My message to you is: keep fighting it no matter how hard it is, no matter how many times you will fail. With every fail to quit it you will understand how strong your addiction is and you will get more and more scared to realize how it is taking control over your life. I encourage you to read my whole comment. I have an example of a man I knew a while ago. He had struggled with alcohol addiction for decades, this addiction took everything from him: he lost his job, his wife left him, he was carried out by friends every night dead drunk till no one would do that anymore and he would just lay on the street with vomit and pee on his pants. He lost his reputation, his self-esteem, literally everything. I don't know what his revelation was because I met him as a church cantor. But from the moment I saw him singing a chant named "Forgive me, Father" I knew this was a converted man. I never saw someone displaying so much repent on their faces. And every single time he was singing this chant, he had the same expression and tears in his eyes. The most profound sorrow one could ever imagine. I asked my grandma what his story was and she told me that he used to be that heavy drinker that everyone would despise. After a couple of years I had the chance to sit at the same table with him. Everyone was drinking wine, but he alone was drinking water. I knew his story, but I pretended I didn't. I guess it was just curiosity to see if he would confess his old addiction, how he sees that now etc. So I asked him just like nothing: "But aren't you up for a glass of wine, sir?" He looked at me with a look that I will never forget. It was a mix of profound sorrow and determination, then he looked at my glass of wine as detached as we could look at something that doesn't belong to our world anymore and told me with a firm voice: "That was my biggest enemy for years. I will never surrender to my enemy again. I am the happiest man on Earth that I can have this glass of water today here, Miss." And that moment I understood something that I will always use to fight my own addictions and to help others fight with theirs: you will never overcome your addiction until you look at it as an ENEMY. A monstrous, hideous enemy right there, in front of you. As long as you will play it soft, you won't be able to escape it. Unless you are not really an addict and doesn't take a lot of effort to quit. If that man who was so low and completely owned by his addiction could escape it, I think everyone can. It doesn't have to be this extreme like in the case I presented to destroy your life. The thing with addictions is that you don't know how bad and how fast can it evolve and control you without you even realizing it. The sooner you can get rid of it, the easier will be your fight. And although everyone needs encouragement on their path on quitting, please remember that until the moment when you reach absolute and complete detachment from your addiction, your fight didn't end. Your enemy is still there, hidden, waiting for you to be vulnerable....waiting for you to fall again. KEEP FIGHTING!
Teal is 9 types of intelligence. I can tell she reads lots of books to stay relevant. Teal you are original. I wish I could work for you. I can honestly say. You have changed my life tremendous way. Hand on practice would be amazing with the legendary teal. I’m highly grateful for your videos and your time. You are on top of the world teal. Love you dear.
This video is amazing. It logically explains everything. Thank you for posting. This is the best video on this subject in my opinion. It's very easy to reflect when its presented in such a way
I've never heard another person speak to what I know of as my inner truth. It's not like when most people talk and I can feel distortions in what their truth is versus what I feel the truth is. on these occasions I fail to predict what a person will say next. Or I will automatically disagree with them, albeit usually just internally. So when I watch you videos and just when I think you are going to drop the ball on what you are going to say next on a topic is usually so damn true it hits me like a ton of bricks. I've never had that experience from listening to another person or teacher talk in my life. I always end up totally internally agreeing with every last thing you say about something. it usually rings very home to what I can feel.inside me as pure truth. Now that I see how my porn addiction has been affecting my life so far and also the reasons why I've chosen a life of long ranging addiction to porn. I'm recently trying to dig my way out of a second bout with depression. this one so disabiltating I felt the emmence feeling of just wanting to be dead or to simply just vanish from existance. I study my life a bit to see the true root to my life's most major issues depression being the top of the list. I blame it on stress from work, and not taking in to account the unhealthy life style choices I'm making. I always rationalized my use of porn as an "everybody else is doing it!!!! what difference could it possibly ever make. and when I see the disconnect I have from my wife and kids and life I have emotionally. It becomes quite clear that the things I'm using porn addiction to quote, unquote cope with. I need to address and deal with these issues or I will continue to live a distracted and uninspired, dispicable existance. when I could address these demons from my past and learn to work through them and choose not to run the rest of my life from them. I don't know if porn is always so problamatic in peoples life's, but it wasnt till I watched this video did I realize just how big of impact it's had on my life so far.... no doubt about it. you nailed all my emotions from the expreince of porning to the wall, and shone a flood light on it just in case I couldn't see It well enough. also leaving me with no excuse to carry on lvinging as I have, claiming to be blissfully un aware and uninformed as to why using porn to escape was a "bad" thing. knowing good and well all along that I didn't ever feel wholly right with me. I just never pondered the far reaching implications it would have on my life. I can't thank you enough! and I will keep you posted with my results in the future. I've also been using other addictions to conceal my pain and another of the worst is my addiction to my phone and internet addiction in general. if you could make a video about that addiction as well I think it could help a great number of people. the fact I would consider myself an "addictive personality" probably comes more down to using many different means of escape instead of ever being completely present in the moment. a feeling that I do achieve with pot but never on my own and non medicated. so yeah. I think if I can learn more things from you I will really be able to get a grip on myself and pull myself together.... not back together, notice. I hope to learn more from your videos.
This was the best explanation on Porn Addiction. Thank you. I have dealt with a past love that had a serious problem and I could not understand what the addiction was about. This really helped me understand Teal!!
This needs to go viral....please share on other platforms to reach a wider audience whoever is able to and enlighten others to probably spark the motivation in someone to be better, you might change someones LIFE forever.
I've been through counseling and accountability groups. It helps, but for me meditating and channeling earth and cosmic energy has brought a huge relief to my soul. It doesn't have a grasp over my soul anymore. It lingers, but the more I meditate with the Father and Earth Mother the more power I have against it. Thank you Teal for this great video!
it's not too easy to stop watching porn and it is not easy to talk about it that I was addicted to porn just stop watching and forget it One day I sat down and I thought that if czsu and energy trace on something that does not bring any benefit I started to learn to play the guitar and learn meditation Now I'm smiling and happy that I'm doing something for myself and not feel isolated from the world, I came back to life I came back to my childhood dreams and step by step move closer to the goals
Amazing. An additional tip for quitting something, using in fact numbers as a tool is: When you have not acted on the desire for continuosly 65 days, you are free from the habit mechanically. Cheers.
Biological organisms have the NECESSITY to have sex beyond procreation... some animals masturbate and not even God himself will stop them doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really!
Great video ! I tend to agree and resonate everything she said except for maybe the end of the video where teal says to overcome social isolation and your addictions one needs to be around friends, or other human beings which I concur with to a lesser degree however for myself I choose nature's elementals and have a strong bond with them that could never be replaced by any human in my opinion. It would just depend on the person and what they choose as a healthy way to start socializing but for me it certainly wasn't being around other humans or groups activities it was in fact nature that helped me the most.
A lot of people need to understand that KNOWING how and why something is harmful for you, Is a very good avenue for many people to cease engaging in the action
This is the only video that's helping me stop my 21 year old addiction. It was starting to destroy my life as I was needing 7 hours or more of masturbation every day. I watch your video and the craving goes away.
It all makes so much sense about the damage it does to one's mental state and the state of one's relationship between themselves and with their partner.
It is me or this video makes you nodding every 5 second with the mind blowed away? Unbelievable... I’d need 4 lives to analyze every concept in this video
That is called Deja Vu and it has already been explained why it happens. It's disappointing to see people still believing in things that actually have been discovered. It is called delusion and it's no joke. It might interfere seriously with your life as the reality can refute yours. This needs treatment. Forget all this, if you're joking though. lol
life force energy can be expressed in many ways, one is sexual energy, not all is sexual energy, there is sensual energy, and energy when i paint or write feels different to sexual energy. with the reset i completely resonate :) the core of all addictions is power, the gravity that pulls, that can overtake, convince and mimik ones desire, the way out is stop fighting this gravity, power and be in total acceptance, within the experience with awareness there is things to become aware of and wisdom.
I don’t necessarily agree with everything you say but it’s obvious that you take this topic very seriously and you offer a realistic perspective. Keep up the good work Teal!
+BrownTownReviews I would think not, since the characters in the hentai are representing human (or other) beings. If those characters are objectified then it is the same. You will be in the mindspace of objectification.
Dear Teal, Thank you! I move upward by each video you post. Leave no stone unturned, leave no soul unraveled! You are our lady of wisdom. We thank you!!
It's very insightful and the solutions you propose are reaching deep. I recognized my own long gone pain in it & I think I need to show it to someone in my life. Thank you Teal.
I watched this seriously and intently. Emptiness and boredom is the cause for me. *This substantive video was superb! It's amazing how much A++ work you produce, Teal.* I have sincere respect & awe for your mind and spirit.
*To TEAL* So many great points in here. Great video. Especially scary to think of how much worse it is getting and will get as the distortion perpetuates itself, as you mention @ 14:00. Dark times now. Darker times ahead. One criticism, if I may. I realize you have your own belief system, but I would suggest to try not to draw hard lines and labels (e.g., regarding conservative, liberal, religious, etc.) because you may come off as antagonistic against people with different beliefs than yourself, and also not to lump groups of people in the same category (e.g., the world's religions). For instance, I would not agree that all or even most Christians view nudity as pornography or think that seeking pleasure is wrong. In fact, there are many passages of the Bible that talk about God creating men and women to bring one another sexual pleasure inside of a devoted union, as one flesh, because that spiritual connection is what brings us the most pleasure beyond the physical, and even more so inside of a union under God. And my personal belief is that is the ultimate *sexual alignment*. And also that all commandments ultimately lead us to the deepest satisfaction in life, and this is a great example of that truth. You are 100% correct that "we live in an era where our sexual practices are becoming increasingly deviant", as you said in your orgasm video. That's the thing about sin. It starts off small and grows and grows and this is precisely why we're seeing this effect. And I think the only way to reverse the effect is to go back to the purest form of human sex. Just my 2 cents :) Have a great day.
How did you determine that porn makes our human sexuality “out of alignment”? This implies that you know which human sexuality is “in alignment”. I’m curious how you know what the correct human sexuality is?
Thank you for your scared knowledge Teal, when I found your content a few months ago I have learnt so much than I ever have before. You are honest, raw and explain things with such coherency and spirit! Thank you for guiding us towards greatness ✨✨✨
+Dale Cooper She did the same thing with her video Parenting 101, which the next day she uploaded parenting 2.0. This re-upload implies what tomorrow's video will be.
Today i said i no longer take pride in it. Watching videos to get turned on taking hours to find the "right one" takes to much energy and time. All of the sudden this video pops up
I wish she would elaborate on point 7. What do you do when you have a built up sexual urge, and you don’t have a partner? How do you practise this channeling of conscious creative energy? Is it a case of changing what you focus your attention on in your mind when you are masturbating? On a nice house instead of a man or a woman for example? How can you have a positive release of built up sexual energy without porn or a partner?
Wow Teal I’m Fuckin blown away by this. I have recently elevated you to my “Spiritual Teacher” , and have begun exploring your older content. This topic has been on my mind, and I highly value your honesty and insights. I did not expect the things you said, however, and definitely have some things to think about. I would love to meet you in person some day, and give you a big 🤗 -ArchAngel Michael
Also maturation without self love, but focus on fantasizing produces a similar pump from the mind, it plays with the similar energy, awareness and self love, gentleness and taking the time are so important in my journey❤. If there is an urge i harness it into making love with myself instead of maturating.
Porn is masochism. And the way people project their porn addiction onto women not wearing bras/etc is sexual harrassment. I know I sound "biased" but as someone who has never had a porn addiction and who has always been very anti-porn, I don't take light to being viewed as a sex object by someone who can't overcome their addiction.
People don't watch porn, they USE it and that's important to understand. I've stopped using it now and have been clean for nearly 18 months. I had to learn the hard way, i nearly lost everything. Porn is so much like a drug, people often don't realise how much it controls their life until they actually try to stop. i would challenge anyone who uses it to stop for a year
how dyu stop using it? how did u do it?
watch the whole video and you will find ways to stop them, cheers.
32, started using it when i was 15, became a real problem from ages 25-30
any tips how to stop from real experiences?? I made a blog-forum about sex addiction www.incognito-s.com and try to explain this to myself and others how does it feel from inside.
thanks ;)

i'm just wondering where this young lady gets all that knowledge from, she's really wise!
Me too.
From either books written by people or spirit guides, etc. my guess...
Books that other people have written based on delusions.
She is an old soul, born and reborn and learned through many life times I believe. Some people are just born wise.
Personal experiences,other people's experiences,books,videos and a lot of research

You are so right about it. She is courageous.
+steenieat17 This is hard to watch heheheh ;) watching her talk about porn makes me think of it !
Ikr I must have watched this about 3 times now
steenieat17 this is her subjective opinion about it. Seems to be heavily influenced by a Christian worldview.
Stevie Wee not at all it’s a very non repressed approach which is refreshing
I need a video to overcome Teal addiction! :)
She's married and got kids buddy.

I've also been using other addictions to conceal my pain and another of the worst is my addiction to my phone and internet addiction in general. if you could make a video about that addiction as well I think it could help a great number of people. the fact I would consider myself an "addictive personality" probably comes more down to using many different means of escape instead of ever being completely present in the moment. a feeling that I do achieve with pot but never on my own and non medicated. so yeah. I think if I can learn more things from you I will really be able to get a grip on myself and pull myself together.... not back together, notice. I hope to learn more from your videos.
This was the best explanation on Porn Addiction. Thank you. I have dealt with a past love that had a serious problem and I could not understand what the addiction was about. This really helped me understand Teal!!
your words feel like a heartmassage
This needs to go viral....please share on other platforms to reach a wider audience whoever is able to and enlighten others to probably spark the motivation in someone to be better, you might change someones LIFE forever.
Thank you for your non-judgmental way of telling how to go for the root of the problem. Much love!
Emotional isolation is the #1 cause of all addictions in this planet
Dopamine*
I didn't even want to watch after this , thank you Teal 💙
Deliverance from it, I pray
I've been through counseling and accountability groups. It helps, but for me meditating and channeling earth and cosmic energy has brought a huge relief to my soul. It doesn't have a grasp over my soul anymore. It lingers, but the more I meditate with the Father and Earth Mother the more power I have against it. Thank you Teal for this great video!
Being an individual who has struggled with porn, and is now seeking to overcome and move forward, I find this video powerful and informative.
Teal, you are a gem to society. Sublimation with learning an instrument is a great way to use the sex energy
I wish your insightful views were available 40 years ago. Amazing, amazing... Thank you
This is so true- this has opened my eyes to letting go of the " need" to watch anymore porn. I always feel empty after I watch it .
I am slowly recover from this addiction, and this is a help for me. I love you for making this video!
There’s a quote I love that says: It’s not why the addiction it’s why the pain
it's not too easy to stop watching porn and it is not easy to talk about it
that I was addicted to porn
just stop watching and forget it
One day I sat down and I thought that if czsu and energy trace on something that does not bring any benefit
I started to learn to play the guitar and learn meditation
Now I'm smiling and happy that I'm doing something for myself and not feel isolated from the world, I came back to life
I came back to my childhood dreams and step by step move closer to the goals
Awesome
These people DON'T KNOW what an addiction really is.
Amazing. An additional tip for quitting something, using in fact numbers as a tool is: When you have not acted on the desire for continuosly 65 days, you are free from the habit mechanically. Cheers.
Mechanically as of how our brains seem to work with routines. Using time as a tool.
Biological organisms have the NECESSITY to have sex beyond procreation... some animals masturbate and not even God himself will stop them doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really!
@@Gudd3 You're a machine
Best verbal description I've heard thus far!
Thank u
Great video ! I tend to agree and resonate everything she said except for maybe the end of the video where teal says to overcome social isolation and your addictions one needs to be around friends, or other human beings which I concur with to a lesser degree however for myself I choose nature's elementals and have a strong bond with them that could never be replaced by any human in my opinion. It would just depend on the person and what they choose as a healthy way to start socializing but for me it certainly wasn't being around other humans or groups activities it was in fact nature that helped me the most.
I don't know what's worse: My watching pornography or watching endless youtube videos. I waste more time watching youtube videos than porn.
This is very good. Much better than the other videos about this subject on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing. Addictions can be healed.
A lot of people need to understand that KNOWING how and why something is harmful for you, Is a very good avenue for many people to cease engaging in the action
-Human connection and going out are the main solutions
This is the only video that's helping me stop my 21 year old addiction. It was starting to destroy my life as I was needing 7 hours or more of masturbation every day. I watch your video and the craving goes away.
Two meat suits rubbing together, so sadly true lol
GREAT POINTS, SOME OF THIS COULD BE USED FOR ANY ADDICTION
Wow, you went DEEP on this! Very interesting & insightful.
relapsed and im going to do 1 year strike wish me freakin luck.
*objectifies teal* good job bro lol
It's been 11 months. How are you doingm
hope you are well and happy
What's the result man
Update: 😬💦
It all makes so much sense about the damage it does to one's mental state and the state of one's relationship between themselves and with their partner.
It is me or this video makes you nodding every 5 second with the mind blowed away? Unbelievable... I’d need 4 lives to analyze every concept in this video
this video seems very familiar...i must have watched this in a past life :)
No.... Is on her channel... Like in this life
+Lia Valencia i think that was sarcasm...
+xoscar yes haha me too!
hehe ;)
That is called Deja Vu and it has already been explained why it happens. It's disappointing to see people still believing in things that actually have been discovered. It is called delusion and it's no joke. It might interfere seriously with your life as the reality can refute yours. This needs treatment.
Forget all this, if you're joking though. lol
life force energy can be expressed in many ways, one is sexual energy, not all is sexual energy, there is sensual energy, and energy when i paint or write feels different to sexual energy. with the reset i completely resonate :)
the core of all addictions is power, the gravity that pulls, that can overtake, convince and mimik ones desire, the way out is stop fighting this gravity, power and be in total acceptance, within the experience with awareness there is things to become aware of and wisdom.
So true. It s a wonderfull explanation i hope it takes the illusion away for so much addicted peoples
This video is very helpful and iam glad i atched this. I am working on the change
Really a good point of view, much appreciated
I don’t necessarily agree with everything you say but it’s obvious that you take this topic very seriously and you offer a realistic perspective. Keep up the good work Teal!
Are people who look at hentai safe from objectification?
+BrownTownReviews that's my question too LOL
If you're thinking of sick fetishes of your waifu then yes.
LOOL
hentai means you've gone too far my friend.
My thy lord be with you
haha hentai was the wrong word to use
+BrownTownReviews I would think not, since the characters in the hentai are representing human (or other) beings. If those characters are objectified then it is the same. You will be in the mindspace of objectification.
Dear Teal, Thank you! I move upward by each video you post. Leave no stone unturned, leave no soul unraveled! You are our lady of wisdom. We thank you!!
It's very insightful and the solutions you propose are reaching deep. I recognized my own long gone pain in it & I think I need to show it to someone in my life.
Thank you Teal.
I watched this seriously and intently. Emptiness and boredom is the cause for me. *This substantive video was superb! It's amazing how much A++ work you produce, Teal.* I have sincere respect & awe for your mind and spirit.
Thank you Teal, I think you're literally saving my life
well done Teal, you're one of the few people that have this down. very well done!
*To TEAL* So many great points in here. Great video. Especially scary to think of how much worse it is getting and will get as the distortion perpetuates itself, as you mention @ 14:00. Dark times now. Darker times ahead. One criticism, if I may. I realize you have your own belief system, but I would suggest to try not to draw hard lines and labels (e.g., regarding conservative, liberal, religious, etc.) because you may come off as antagonistic against people with different beliefs than yourself, and also not to lump groups of people in the same category (e.g., the world's religions). For instance, I would not agree that all or even most Christians view nudity as pornography or think that seeking pleasure is wrong. In fact, there are many passages of the Bible that talk about God creating men and women to bring one another sexual pleasure inside of a devoted union, as one flesh, because that spiritual connection is what brings us the most pleasure beyond the physical, and even more so inside of a union under God. And my personal belief is that is the ultimate *sexual alignment*. And also that all commandments ultimately lead us to the deepest satisfaction in life, and this is a great example of that truth. You are 100% correct that "we live in an era where our sexual practices are becoming increasingly deviant", as you said in your orgasm video. That's the thing about sin. It starts off small and grows and grows and this is precisely why we're seeing this effect. And I think the only way to reverse the effect is to go back to the purest form of human sex. Just my 2 cents :) Have a great day.
One of the best self improvement video I ve ever watched
How did you determine that porn makes our human sexuality “out of alignment”? This implies that you know which human sexuality is “in alignment”. I’m curious how you know what the correct human sexuality is?
Great video. Thankyou :)
Simple and profound. Thank you very much ❤
Thank you for your scared knowledge Teal, when I found your content a few months ago I have learnt so much than I ever have before. You are honest, raw and explain things with such coherency and spirit! Thank you for guiding us towards greatness ✨✨✨
watch teal swan vids instead.
which way did you interpret this post?
...
Lol!
Get past urge by self awareness. Thats what i tried to do still want to go wank tho.. fml lol
This video is already on your channel. Why upload twice?
+Dale Cooper You know you need to watch it again bro
+stroshow5 LOL! :D
+stroshow5 lmao
+Dale Cooper She did the same thing with her video Parenting 101, which the next day she uploaded parenting 2.0. This re-upload implies what tomorrow's video will be.
+Dale Cooper because it's a damn fine cup of bukkake
Thank you Teal... I really needed to watch this.
Silence words, silence contruct of thought, enter darkness. Become hollow, and be re awoken by the light that is you.
what is also important is the underlying energy of pleasure? it can be in alignment or can use to feed .
Thank you Teal for sharing this. It was very interesting and enlightening :) .
THis is Your TRUE Masterpiece! Thank you so much. So many new amazing points that you are making here. God bless us all
I love your spontaneous laughters every once in a while 😂
Brilliant as usual, +Teal Swan!
Thank you for your insight!
The video is phenomenal and the comments are fucking hilarious, thanks Teal. You are a great teacher. Much respect *bows*
This is the best video or presentation of any type, that I have seen on this subject.
Today i said i no longer take pride in it. Watching videos to get turned on taking hours to find the "right one" takes to much energy and time. All of the sudden this video pops up
I wish she would elaborate on point 7. What do you do when you have a built up sexual urge, and you don’t have a partner? How do you practise this channeling of conscious creative energy? Is it a case of changing what you focus your attention on in your mind when you are masturbating? On a nice house instead of a man or a woman for example? How can you have a positive release of built up sexual energy without porn or a partner?
20:39 The build-up to that smile got me smiling like this -> (:
Wow Teal I’m Fuckin blown away by this. I have recently elevated you to my “Spiritual Teacher” , and have begun exploring your older content. This topic has been on my mind, and I highly value your honesty and insights. I did not expect the things you said, however, and definitely have some things to think about. I would love to meet you in person some day, and give you a big 🤗 -ArchAngel Michael
alot of people say that the assumption that porn actor have been abused or mistreated is a misconception and isn't true for many people

Your videos has helped me so much!!!!!!!
This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
What does it mean to be out of alignment with your sexuality?
Also maturation without self love, but focus on fantasizing produces a similar pump from the mind, it plays with the similar energy, awareness and self love, gentleness and taking the time are so important in my journey❤.
If there is an urge i harness it into making love with myself instead of maturating.

"You can't objektify sth without simultaneously yourself becoming objectified."
amazing thoughts in this video
One of the best responses to this subject!
Teal, you are very whise. Thanks for your thoughts.
This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing Teal!
Awesome new video. Thanks! I really needed this!
Porn is masochism. And the way people project their porn addiction onto women not wearing bras/etc is sexual harrassment. I know I sound "biased" but as someone who has never had a porn addiction and who has always been very anti-porn, I don't take light to being viewed as a sex object by someone who can't overcome their addiction.
Very empowering, thank you Teal!
