Why is it hard to stop watching?
The common promise of “I will stop but just not today” should let the reader recognize how dangerous procrastination is and how necessary it is to take action.
People hooked on porn see no issue living that way since there is no firsthand apparent consequence of watching. Nobody has ever gotten cancer from porn, right? If we use the same reasoning, there are no evident cigarette effects at first. This is because consistent consumption is what does all the damage.
Many compulsive porn users need to comprehend that orgasm is not what they long for; it's the dopamine flood from hours of consumption and escalation to more intense material. Doesn't that sound horrendous enough already?
It is also a very convenient and easy-to-do thing, isn’t it? I mean, all you must do is lock the room door, do a quick internet search, and boom, a significant number of links filled with videos for all tastes, right? How cowardly! Isn’t it time to start acting like a worthy person? I bet it is, so take matters into your hand.
Porn has the same addictive effects as drugs. It just never occurred to you to consider the possibility. If you doubt this, try running an experiment without porn for an extended period, talking about addiction.
Natural dopamine is better enjoyed in a short time, and constant dopamine only wrecks the brain. To prove a point, imagine that you’re eating pizza; it’s tasty and enjoyable, right? It’s an obvious yes. But it only takes 10 minutes at the most to eat it, and besides, after the belly is complete, all interest in the pizza is lost.
If you think that you’re getting any enjoyment from it, then why is it that you have to keep bingeing for hours on end. Do you get the point? If it were healthy, why do viewers keep delaying ejaculation? This shows that people are not doing it because they crave orgasm. They are hooked due to the addictive nature of sexual content. But truth be told, it’s not the orgasm that you desire. It’s the novelty and diversity of scenes. This is why some users have a lot of tabs opened in extreme cases. For people who have been there, it’s like a dark never-ending loop, with the promise of a reward that doesn’t exist.
The brainwashing media have made the following claims:
It’s educational!” So when is your graduation? “It’s sexual satisfaction!” So why do it alone instead of finding a partner and saving it for them? “It’s a feeling of release!” Release from the stresses of real life? Porn won’t remove the source of the stress; it gives you a short feeling of orgasm but adds to your misery and anxiety.
There is a common myth that hooked users will never recover from it. But science and evidence show the opposite. The human brain is capable of unthinkable things and is entirely reprogrammable.
Yes, you can condition your mind to hate porn and stay away from it by your own accord and consensus; in the same way, you fell prey to the porn predator In the first place.
Like any other addiction, to beat it, first get knowledge on the mechanism of how it works. After you get the knowledge, you’ll be on the right path to quit porn for good.
