      For me it helped to have a persona, like "I'm a decent person and my younger brother looks up to me. A decent person who wants his brother to have a role model wouldn't do this and that, including porn, would go to the gym a few times a week, wouldn't get angry easily, etc etc.". Also, reducing the time I checked the phone definitely helped. I started by tracking the usage everyday, and was shocked by the number of hours, then disabled all notifications except calls. It helped me a lot and I'm much happier since then.
      All the best mate. If I did it then you absolutely can do it.

    • @terribleted9529
      @terribleted9529 Месяц назад

      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).

    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.

      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.

    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.

We have so much at our fingertips great porn, screen addiction, social media, RUclips, 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.

      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

    • @inn3rstr3ngth
      @inn3rstr3ngth 3 месяца назад +1

    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 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.

    • @smokingcrab2290
      @smokingcrab2290 3 месяца назад

      @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.

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?
