Im a level 5 knocking on the door of level 6. This video has me in tears right now because my addiction is out of control. I feel so ashamed, everything u said was right. Your points hit hard like Tyson body blows. Porn has done major damage to my life and its time for a change thx u for this video.
Golden PaperChaser 80% of the time I watch these kinds of vids I end up in tears. It really does hit hard. I saw another video a while back where a woman was being interviewed about her addicted husband. Her message to men was "You could be so much more." said with pure genuine tone. Thinking about times where I've gone 3 months to a year where I felt worlds better than I do now it hit me so hard because of how true it is. Literally have not teared so hard before.

I’m in tears. I feel so guilty giving in to my addiction. I was 14 days in and doing so well and now everything just shattered. I am going to start my recovery process today I’ll keep you guys updated.
Im praying for you man you got this!!! Cmon bro believe in god you got this!!! If you need my snap or something just let me know... i hope everythings ok! Im also fighting this sick addiction you’re ok bro keep your head up !!!!
@@hsjksskjdjsjek1269 how are you doing currently brother? I’m 3 days without porn. Feel urges but I’m able to keep away from it for the most part. Almost gave in last night but thankfully didn’t.
Yesterday was the day that I made a promise to myself. My approach is dissect the problem. And find the actual cause of my addiction. To exercise my other neurotransmitters of my brain to reduce and rid of over stimulation. I got this fam, thank you for your help. It’s my time to let go and respect my past. Like Nipsey said, “Stay down the game bless you, don’t fold the game test you... if you pass it, you gone they cant catch you cause it’s permanent, I’VE BEEN DOWN I DESERVE THIS SHIT.”
Wow! Everything you spoke about is so true. I am married to a man who is a porn addict. I can tell you how devastating this is from the perspective of a spouse. I truly was dumb to the truth. My husband is at a 6. He lies all of the time, sexualizes women and is down right cruel to me. We have seen 4 therapists and nothing works. We had before he was a level 4 to a 5 plenty of money in the bank, several homes and a full life. I addressed his lies without knowing what was really going on. Flash forward 4 years; consistent unemployment a mountain of debt and 1 house that we cannot pay for. He was fired last Friday from his 4th job this year. No health care for me and our son. He continues to live in tremendous denial. He is at a 12 step class (at least I think) right now. As our son begged him to stop lieing and act like a father. I fear the end has come for us. This addiction so far has cost in revenue millions and will take his family. Today my son looked him straight in the eye and said if you help yourself I will think you are an underdog who is making himself great and that is what I can respect. Men, you think it is in all secret. I can tell you no it is not. The disconnection and tension is palpable. I am very sad about this for me, for my son, for my husband.
wow thats crazy i thought porn addiction only effects men but unfortunately that isnt true... hope everything is ok now. This one really sticks with me because I know it can takeover anyone’s personal life. Be safe & believe in god💜
“Now, for any 18 to 24 year old who’s watching this, no doubt you are above average and you have some big aspirations.” That gave the chills because that is SO treu! Just wanted to share that with you! ;D. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
@@pariahazul8653 I think JK meant it as we're starting earlier and recognizing the addiction earlier than other men who are not in our age range, and that since we are actively focusing on it so early in our life we have motivation and potential for other things as well
@@pariahazul8653 People always throw age barriers out man! No masturbation benefits every man regardless of age! I don’t think there’s much difference between a 26 year old and 34 year old they’re both young men
It’s inspiring to see a community like this that offers specific support for professionals. The book sounds like an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to break free from addiction in a compassionate, practical way.
This sounds like an amazing resource for those who feel stuck and don’t know where to turn. Knowing there's a system that doesn’t rely on willpower or traditional therapy must be such a relief for people struggling with these issues. Thank you for creating a safe space for healing!
What a powerful message of hope! The fact that this method has helped people overcome addiction without requiring the usual paths is so encouraging. Thanks for providing a non-judgmental sanctuary for those in need of a new approach to recovery.
This program looks like a lifeline for anyone facing the shame and isolation of addiction. The idea of overcoming it in 90 days sounds hopeful. I appreciate how this community provides real solutions without the pressure of willpower or therapy!
So powerful to see a program that understands the unique struggles of high-achieving professionals. The emphasis on a proven, non-religious approach seems refreshing and practical. Excited to check out the book and learn more!
Man, i admit that i cried watching this video, i've been suffering from this filthy and destructive habit since i was 10, and i tried to quit this stuff but i fall into the trap again and again, but while listening to your wise words i changed mi vision, thank you tons, i hope this time with a more complete understanding of the problem and the mercy and help of God i'll overcome this obstacle which has been ruining my life all this years.
Thank you JK. I had my first 15 minute call two days ago and have been watching a lot of your videos. They have helped me so much. I've been using the willpower approach for literally decades because I didn't know that any other approach existed. I wish I found your reboot program earlier in my life. I am definitely a level 5 addict and a type B man with a few A traits.
I have been trying to stop for years now every time I try I go at most a week then I find myself back to the old habit again I am a level 5 B man when you were talking I felt like you were describing me as if you were talking to me personally and iv search all over for a video talking about this topic but you have talked about it in the best way with lots of information
Looking back at when I was at my worst. I can say that porn really did cause a lot of problems. Real life encounters with women were disappointing, suffering from ED, needed more and more sick types of porn to get off etc. While seeing a hottie in a bikini was enough during teens, I found myself looking for types of porn that I was not initially attracted to. When I abstained for longer periods of time average women became beautiful, normal sex was fulfilling, people started to approach me, I was more productive at work, women started noticing me more etc. When our life sucks, people can sense it. They can feel our negative energies. I want out. I want to reach the level of finally kicking toxic people out of my life and beat this addiction.
How’s it going brother? I suffer from Ed I’ve been addicted for abt 5 years. Finally making a change, I’m 3 days strong. I’m curious how long you were addicted for bc I need to stop having ed and I am a little worried it won’t go away.
@@detpistons4l401How is it going, I don't even know if I can even get over this. It just feels like I don't have the strength to do it, I feel like I may never overcome this addiction. It scares me.
It is so fascinating to see what an incredible understanding you have of this topic. I am a level 6 type B who in the last 6 months has truly seen the damage and is working on recovery. I love myself and I am so excited to be breaking free. Thank you!
I am a Level 4, Type B. Although I have a few traits of a type A man and I'm never influenced by people on the internet and their challenges. I have not taken up a 90 day challenge, my challenge is lifelong. I have even asked my mom to help me through this. It's been four days since I quit and today I was getting strong urges to watch porn and masturbate but I haven't. I refuse to relapse. Thank you JK, your videos are really helpful.
Glad you told about how porn can mess up your life. I'am a 5 man with B ways also with some A ways!! I join your site and can't wait to listen to some of your teaching and how to broke your porn addiction. Hi my name is Samuel and i'am addiction to porn.
I am definitely a 5 with a clear boundary to avoid 6. I have avoided effectively to not give money into my addiction. I am also aware of the real consequences if I go down the road to 6: could become a vicious predator, no doubt abandoned by my family, and my convictions under God. Even though I find it difficult to get out of this stage, I do have enough conviction to not escalate this even further. I am type A with some characteristics of B: I have managed my stress in other positive ways and managed well in my career, but my addiction has also cost me some valuable hours of sleep. This comes from a man who doesn’t believe in drinking coffee, energy drinks, etc. thank you for the video. I’m working on getting more accountability groups involved
Aaron Owens, it’s great that you gained better awareness with your addiction level. If you don’t mind me asking, how much progress have you made in the last 12 months?
no way. I've been addicted to oxycontin and I used to do cocaine. There is NO COMPARISON between jerking off and opiate addiction. Cocaine is more pleasurable than sex by FAR. You will forget about sex.
śï×ÕfŇîņē not as close to cocaine but I can tell you I’ve been addicted to nicotine and marijuana for months. And I have quit. Porn and masturbation in general is by far the hardest addiction I am currently beating right now. I have been 2 weeks clean but for me this is so much harder than any drug I have ever tried.
Illusion Cuber i use to weigh over 300 lbs. I was seriously addicted to food. I dropped down to 190 and it was extremely difficult, but thats absolutely nothing compares to my porn addiction. Never tried cocaine though lol.
I believe im a level 6. And I just ruined my relationship of 2 years. 200+ videos downloaded into my laptop. Because I feel I cant live without it so I wanted it there just incase my wifi is out. Thats just one of many things. If anyone wants to chat im here
Oh no I'm level 5. I thought the levels was going to end at 4 lol then you started talking about level 5 and I nearly cried, to shocked to cry. I'm level 5A. I'm 6 months sober off of booze and I feel like porn is going to be harder to quit... I had seen a few videos on men stopping there pornography use and I already decided I need to quit, but I was going through withdrawals being 6 days porn free so it was either watch more videos about quitting porn or watch it, then I came across this video. I'm really shocked.
Just found your channel. Thank you bro Thanks for the content. Kt helps id categorize myself as typ a man with a few b features probably level 5 to 6.. well i have work to do Greetings from Germany
I had a heroin addiction and it was easier to quit than porn and masturbation. Still struggling to quit after years of trying. Don't give up on yourself. Keep fighting your addictions and gain control of your life
I know this video was uploaded over a year ago, but I still wanna say where I’m at. I would say that I am at a level 5.5. I’ve dealt with porn for so long that I have no idea what type of life I would have without it. I have been trying to quit now for almost 4 years now, but I always relapse. I am only 19, but when I started my addiction, I flew up those levels. I think partially because of my Autism and ADHD is the reason why I went from level 1 to level 4 when I was only 9, then stayed at level 5.5 the rest of the time. This has been a huge issue in my life, and I have admitted this to many people in my life, and I’ve gone through counseling, I’ve had parents put locks on devices, I’ve done so much life changing things but I know porn is holding me back! I rely upon my faith to try breaking out of this, and I’m currently going through another moment where I am dead set of beating my addiction, but I fear that this will only be another self pep talk and empty promise to myself. I know I’ve let down others, and I’m in the mind set that this addiction doesn’t only affect me, but it’s still very hard. Now when I post this, I only got to worry about this getting seen by the wrong people and coming back to bite me the ass.
If you're here it's no mistake. Porn addiction is no joke. It will destroy you. It has taken me to depths I could never imagine. It has cost me relationships, jobs (almost career), inner peace and happiness to name a few. It causes ED, has conditioned me to need fantasies in my mind while actually having sex and some fantasies that even degrade my partner. Some people will say oh it's just porn etc. If your someone who has never experienced the depths of porn addiction good for you I hope you don't. There's nothing "normal" about watching people have sex...even "normal" sex. Sex is to be an intimate physical and spiritual/emotional connection between 2 real consenting humans that have some level of care and attraction for the partner. Think about it... watching a man have sex with a woman kinda makes you bisexual on some level because you want to see her with someone otherwise you'd watch female solo porn. Think about it..just saying. Good luck and God Bless to everyone here.
From my experience w/ people who have various levels of addiction, it can be more psychologically manifested or more physical based in part or whole. Fascination with certain fixation(s) ideologies and beliefs. Suggestive implications of visual and or audible manifestations play a part, small or large depending on the individuals addiction, level and frequency or discipline. Random or planned occurrences. Some randomly spontaneous and others quite contrary. Distancing oneself from the kind of grip it has on one is basically personal. Gluck!
Biggest challange of my life, I can't stop even that I have high motivation to quit. Type B totally, level 4 propably. I have obsession with this topic either I use or watching countless videos about it, don't know what to do at this point, how to break this loop.
Am on level 4 type B man with some type A traits , this video is very helpful thank you so much. I will come back here after 1 year and said i have made it 💪💪
Thanks man. I’m a level 4 I’ve been level 5 for years I still have a lot of psychological level 5 tendencies but through a lot of action I’ve been able to curb some of the behaviors. I’m going to be taking your free course and if necessary your porn reboot course. Although I might just buy it out of curiosity. Thankyou so much for these videos
Well I mirght be between the last two levels as my addiction is just sabotaging me from taking the exact responsibility for myself. I do not like to dramatize but you are already aware how destructive it can be for a man. I without realising went through those rough parts of the addiction. Now the only thing I have as a fact is that porn became a concrete part of even my personality. I am young and having great dreams as you said but I have been fighting off for six years without any big success and jump. And it is a vicious cycle that feeds itself. Because porn leads you to failures and those failures lead to porn. Hard to go through all alone yet fightingg should still be there.
Used to be at level 4a... Now I’m down at level 1... I will say have sex addiction... But I’m so happy that level ain’t porn addiction... it’s weird... each time I feel depressed I stay away from porn... cause it reminds me of how i used to feel... The times when I go from a happy state of life to kind of happy/sad state simultaneously as my testosteron level goes up... that’s where it’s most dangerous... and that’s why I’m here now... I always search for this videos when I’m in combat with myself
*Heyy JK when I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it won't be much interesting. But my friend I was wrong, the attention to detail on each and every point you mentioned in this Video is valuable. The Classification of levels was much needed as most of other youtubers are missing out. The way you explained the video was perfect. It's high time you must make videos not just on but on Pesonality Development. And you can rename this channel to Life Reboot which would be more interesting* 😊😊👍
I feel like i'm a level 4 type b, but almost level 5. But i have been doing this shit since around age 16 and i'm 23 now and this video really is like a punch in my face! All my life i've lived with my parents and slept in the same room, perhaps when i get my own home i'll be able to build myself a new life with new activities and new people. Last year I actually went on a summer holiday vacation with 20 young adults i didn't even know. This was really out of my comfort zone and it actually went really well! I didn't even think about porn or sex for a single second the whole two weeks. I even got a girlfriend out of it, and, ofcourse i thought about sex, but i never watched porn in that half year of being in a relationship with her. After our relationship had ended i relapsed and this was the moment i began to see my addictive porn use as a problem. I feel like when have other joyful thinks on my mind my crave for pornography just completely vanishes, but i do realise it's still a problem when i get in a shit situation or just don't have the opportunity to do other things i really enjoy
I am taking a break from porn because I'm moving out and I reliced that it is a addiction and I can say taking a break is making my anxiety more intense and is hard but I know that it will affect my life and I need to get out of my addiction this is bad but my addiction was level 5 and I feel guilty for that but this video has made me realise I'm not alone and we are fighting this war together and I appreciate that 🙂
I think I am a level 4 B-man. After I recently sunk to a whole new level of rock bottom for me, I realized that it's time to seek help so I contacted someone and I think I will start alone / with a accountability partner. Then I will later get a therapist or some sort of more help I think. It was a big step for me to reveal the awful things I am addicted to watching and I am happy that I got it out. It is not worth it trying to get rid of a porn addiction by yourself, I hope that eveyone reading this at least consider talking to someone about it even if you start by talking about it online. I wish you all success on your journey.

I belong to। a conservative and relegious family,I've always wanted to be good person ,I point out and criticize my self at everything I do I try to be good ,that's what I have been as a person,so when I started mastburating 10months back I started for like once a day because many of the big internet RUclipsrs talked in their videos that once in। a day is normal and healthy so I started once , it was a new experience and I was in awe of it and then I felt guilty ,I started searching for videos on how to quit,। See again many RUclipsrs said that 2-3times a Day is natural,I was misguided and I am really angry on them I was happy on one side because I started mastburating because I didn't till I was 19 I loved it, so I continued doing right now I am at 2times a day , I want to change my life not only in case of mastburation but also depression ,anxiety disorders that I've had from the age of 15 ,help me man I really need you're help plz
I’m a mixture of Type A and Type B. And I’m scarily an extreme mixture of Levels 3-6.... I’ve paid such an extreme price that’s cost me my health.. I feel so weird..
I am 15 and I am level 5 maybe 6... I seriously need help and I really want to quit, but I just can’t and i have no one to talk to about that... Please help me...
I'm a level 5, I desperately want to quite this addition. I'm so struggling even with my thoughts. 😢your channel helps me to believe that I can do it. Thank you
Compulsive Pornography and masturbation addiction leads to out of control anger, stubborn, anxiety, depression, fatigue, laziness, and brain shrinking.
I'm at Level 5 and a type b person with some type a characteristics. But damn, for a second there I saw the possibility of being me for once. I have had porn in my life since I was 10 years old. TEN YEARS OLD!! I'm 28 now, married and expecting my first child in a few months. I can't imagine what my life could be like with out porn. But I got a glimpse and it's exhilarating and liberating. Thanks JK! Looking forward to your further mentorship!
I'm guessing I'm at level 4. I'm type B. Where do I start? I will seek personal counseling to start. But I have some serious discipline issues that need to be dealt with as well.
You are correct that the diagnosis for internet porn addiction is going to change soon. In recent years the science around both internet usage and particularly porn has ballooned. There is currently a pandemic of ED in Young men that we've never seen before. Otherwise healthy Young adults whose issues tie directly to internet porn use. Our medical community cannot ignore this for much longer. In the last DSM they almost reclassified internet porn addiction but there is still pushback among professionals. Mostly because they got this diagnosis completely wrong. They were in fact encouraging porn usage among our youth, telling us it was harmless and even healthy! That is about to change...... Even the science of neurology supports this new diagnosis that internet porn addiction is damaging, particularly for young men 😳
Please get help. Before you hurt your spouse and future children, but better yet, your future self. Read my comment I just posted. Do whatever it takes.
I was recommended to watch your video "Why Is It So Hard To Quit Porn and Masturbation Addiction?" By one of my facebook friends. However Good luck with your channel.
Its even more inferioring when a topic like porn is often look-downed upon and shame those who have fall into this addiction and since popular media never talk about this kind of stuff it makes it harder to truly open up and have a honest open discussion without being ridiculous and outcasted.
27 year old level 6B. I literally don't know life without porn since 8yrs old. No relationships with family or otherwise. Mental issues and stress from a lack of normal relationships and sex life. Yeaaaap... I even watched porn in another tab with this video playing in the background and did the deed. Lol. I guess if you're a younger person, take this very seriously starting now. I can put down nicotine and alcohol with minimal issues. This is truly difficult but I'm gonna try.
Man great video! Im a level 5 and im crystal clear about it. Since I started meditating things got easier, cold showers and wim hof breathing got me believing this is doable. However I might just fooling myself with these online tips and should seek professional help?
So I'm in the middle of trying to quit porn and masturbation. Day 12. It's so hard right now. I find I have this constant feeling or fire or energy or whatever you want to call it, in my stomach that urges me to go back to porn. And I'm constantly sexualizing woman. Like its ridiculous, to the point where I can't even look at a pretty girls face because it will make me aware again of my sexual energy. My question is, is it possible to not sexualize every girl or even most girls? I mean, does anyone out there know what I'm talking about because they've gone through this? I want to just not have urges every single stupid time I see a half way decent face.
I need help with this, I’m pretty young compared to this subject and I have tried to quit 3 times, I quit for some time then got back into it, then when I do it my heart rate increases and i have chest pains and it’s hard to breath, what do I do
I AM ADDICTADED to porn and have been for a long time i thought i over came it but i havent this sucks and I HATE IT porn is the enemys game and i need this problem gone
You talked about stress having an impact on pornography usage ,what about those people who are going through depression and anxiety disorders in their life not because of porn but because of other situations ,how impactful could that be on the amount of consumption of porn ? Make a seperate video on patients of depression and anxiety disorders and porn ,thanks
I’m definitely level 5 based on your levels and type B. I just turned 32 and I could’ve been in a much better place. It’s complicated how I got here but I know it’s not the answer. I’m at least 2-3 weeks Porn free but still think about it sometimes. Unfortunately kicking masturbation has been much harder as I feel like it’s hard to go more than 2 days without release.
The longer your habit the harder it is to break. I've been trying to rid myself of this for 3 to 4yrs and I simply cant fully abstain. I can go on long steaks but I will always give in to it at some point. I'm 40yrs old been going heavy since 11. Its become apart of my mental programming. I'm also single and living alone which makes it 10× harder.
I quit porn but I still masterbate. fetish,stress,loneliness and depression are the only triggers there maybe more if them are there but I am only aware of these few

You literally helped me start breaking the chains.
This sounds like an amazing resource for those who feel stuck and don’t know where to turn. Knowing there's a system that doesn’t rely on willpower or traditional therapy must be such a relief for people struggling with these issues. Thank you for creating a safe space for healing!
What a powerful message of hope! The fact that this method has helped people overcome addiction without requiring the usual paths is so encouraging. Thanks for providing a non-judgmental sanctuary for those in need of a new approach to recovery.
This program looks like a lifeline for anyone facing the shame and isolation of addiction. The idea of overcoming it in 90 days sounds hopeful. I appreciate how this community provides real solutions without the pressure of willpower or therapy!
So powerful to see a program that understands the unique struggles of high-achieving professionals. The emphasis on a proven, non-religious approach seems refreshing and practical. Excited to check out the book and learn more!
Man, i admit that i cried watching this video, i've been suffering from this filthy and destructive habit since i was 10, and i tried to quit this stuff but i fall into the trap again and again, but while listening to your wise words i changed mi vision, thank you tons, i hope this time with a more complete understanding of the problem and the mercy and help of God i'll overcome this obstacle which has been ruining my life all this years.
One of the most informative videos I've seen on the subject. Thank you for making this
Thank you for watching!
yep
Thank you JK. I had my first 15 minute call two days ago and have been watching a lot of your videos. They have helped me so much. I've been using the willpower approach for literally decades because I didn't know that any other approach existed. I wish I found your reboot program earlier in my life. I am definitely a level 5 addict and a type B man with a few A traits.
I have been trying to stop for years now every time I try I go at most a week then I find myself back to the old habit again I am a level 5 B man when you were talking I felt like you were describing me as if you were talking to me personally and iv search all over for a video talking about this topic but you have talked about it in the best way with lots of information
Looking back at when I was at my worst. I can say that porn really did cause a lot of problems. Real life encounters with women were disappointing, suffering from ED, needed more and more sick types of porn to get off etc. While seeing a hottie in a bikini was enough during teens, I found myself looking for types of porn that I was not initially attracted to. When I abstained for longer periods of time average women became beautiful, normal sex was fulfilling, people started to approach me, I was more productive at work, women started noticing me more etc. When our life sucks, people can sense it. They can feel our negative energies. I want out. I want to reach the level of finally kicking toxic people out of my life and beat this addiction.
How’s it going brother? I suffer from Ed I’ve been addicted for abt 5 years. Finally making a change, I’m 3 days strong. I’m curious how long you were addicted for bc I need to stop having ed and I am a little worried it won’t go away.
@@detpistons4l401How is it going, I don't even know if I can even get over this. It just feels like I don't have the strength to do it, I feel like I may never overcome this addiction. It scares me.
One thing. You have very deep and correct knowledge about pornography addiction and recovery.
I was very close to Level 6 and after like 3 Months i am almost out of level 4. I feel much more confident and energized then before
It is so fascinating to see what an incredible understanding you have of this topic. I am a level 6 type B who in the last 6 months has truly seen the damage and is working on recovery. I love myself and I am so excited to be breaking free. Thank you!
Congratulations on beginning the work!
I am a Level 4, Type B. Although I have a few traits of a type A man and I'm never influenced by people on the internet and their challenges. I have not taken up a 90 day challenge, my challenge is lifelong.
I have even asked my mom to help me through this. It's been four days since I quit and today I was getting strong urges to watch porn and masturbate but I haven't. I refuse to relapse.
Thank you JK, your videos are really helpful.
Glad you told about how porn can mess up your life. I'am a 5 man with B ways also with some A ways!! I join your site and can't wait to listen to some of your teaching and how to broke your porn addiction. Hi my name is Samuel and i'am addiction to porn.
I am definitely a 5 with a clear boundary to avoid 6. I have avoided effectively to not give money into my addiction. I am also aware of the real consequences if I go down the road to 6: could become a vicious predator, no doubt abandoned by my family, and my convictions under God. Even though I find it difficult to get out of this stage, I do have enough conviction to not escalate this even further. I am type A with some characteristics of B: I have managed my stress in other positive ways and managed well in my career, but my addiction has also cost me some valuable hours of sleep. This comes from a man who doesn’t believe in drinking coffee, energy drinks, etc. thank you for the video. I’m working on getting more accountability groups involved
Literally the most insightful self diagnosis video online. Next level stuff. Thank you.
Thank you!
*I am gonna show this video to millions my friend. I am going to tell them how many valuable points you talked in your videos*
😮. Wow. Hands down best discussion on the topic I have ever heard. And I could relate 100%. I think I’m at level 4. 🤔.
Aaron Owens, it’s great that you gained better awareness with your addiction level. If you don’t mind me asking, how much progress have you made in the last 12 months?
I was addicted to heroin for 4 years. That was nothing compaired to porn addiction.
each fight has its own strugggle
Tim W H interesting
no way. I've been addicted to oxycontin and I used to do cocaine. There is NO COMPARISON between jerking off and opiate addiction.
Cocaine is more pleasurable than sex by FAR. You will forget about sex.
śï×ÕfŇîņē not as close to cocaine but I can tell you I’ve been addicted to nicotine and marijuana for months. And I have quit. Porn and masturbation in general is by far the hardest addiction I am currently beating right now. I have been 2 weeks clean but for me this is so much harder than any drug I have ever tried.
Illusion Cuber i use to weigh over 300 lbs. I was seriously addicted to food. I dropped down to 190 and it was extremely difficult, but thats absolutely nothing compares to my porn addiction. Never tried cocaine though lol.
I believe im a level 6. And I just ruined my relationship of 2 years. 200+ videos downloaded into my laptop. Because I feel I cant live without it so I wanted it there just incase my wifi is out. Thats just one of many things. If anyone wants to chat im here
Donavin Hamilton hey man, I'm looking for an accountability partner to stop my porn addiction, are you interested?
Oh no I'm level 5. I thought the levels was going to end at 4 lol then you started talking about level 5 and I nearly cried, to shocked to cry. I'm level 5A. I'm 6 months sober off of booze and I feel like porn is going to be harder to quit... I had seen a few videos on men stopping there pornography use and I already decided I need to quit, but I was going through withdrawals being 6 days porn free so it was either watch more videos about quitting porn or watch it, then I came across this video. I'm really shocked.
Just found your channel. Thank you bro Thanks for the content. Kt helps id categorize myself as typ a man with a few b features probably level 5 to 6.. well i have work to do
Greetings from Germany
I had a heroin addiction and it was easier to quit than porn and masturbation. Still struggling to quit after years of trying. Don't give up on yourself. Keep fighting your addictions and gain control of your life
Yes but heroin addiction is far more dangerous to you than porn
Level 5 and type B with some A traits! I will say this is the best video I’ve seen so far! Very accurate on the types and the excuses made
I know this video was uploaded over a year ago, but I still wanna say where I’m at. I would say that I am at a level 5.5. I’ve dealt with porn for so long that I have no idea what type of life I would have without it. I have been trying to quit now for almost 4 years now, but I always relapse. I am only 19, but when I started my addiction, I flew up those levels. I think partially because of my Autism and ADHD is the reason why I went from level 1 to level 4 when I was only 9, then stayed at level 5.5 the rest of the time. This has been a huge issue in my life, and I have admitted this to many people in my life, and I’ve gone through counseling, I’ve had parents put locks on devices, I’ve done so much life changing things but I know porn is holding me back! I rely upon my faith to try breaking out of this, and I’m currently going through another moment where I am dead set of beating my addiction, but I fear that this will only be another self pep talk and empty promise to myself. I know I’ve let down others, and I’m in the mind set that this addiction doesn’t only affect me, but it’s still very hard.
Now when I post this, I only got to worry about this getting seen by the wrong people and coming back to bite me the ass.
If you're here it's no mistake. Porn addiction is no joke. It will destroy you. It has taken me to depths I could never imagine. It has cost me relationships, jobs (almost career), inner peace and happiness to name a few. It causes ED, has conditioned me to need fantasies in my mind while actually having sex and some fantasies that even degrade my partner. Some people will say oh it's just porn etc. If your someone who has never experienced the depths of porn addiction good for you I hope you don't. There's nothing "normal" about watching people have sex...even "normal" sex. Sex is to be an intimate physical and spiritual/emotional connection between 2 real consenting humans that have some level of care and attraction for the partner. Think about it... watching a man have sex with a woman kinda makes you bisexual on some level because you want to see her with someone otherwise you'd watch female solo porn. Think about it..just saying. Good luck and God Bless to everyone here.
Thank you for the uplifiting message, John!
Thats making an assumption that being bisexual is some kind of problem
From my experience w/ people who have various levels of addiction, it can be more psychologically manifested or more physical based in part or whole. Fascination with certain fixation(s) ideologies and beliefs. Suggestive implications of visual and or audible manifestations play a part, small or large depending on the individuals addiction, level and frequency or discipline.
Random or planned occurrences. Some randomly spontaneous and others quite contrary.
Distancing oneself from the kind of grip it has on one is basically personal. Gluck!
Biggest challange of my life, I can't stop even that I have high motivation to quit. Type B totally, level 4 propably. I have obsession with this topic either I use or watching countless videos about it, don't know what to do at this point, how to break this loop.
Am on level 4 type B man with some type A traits , this video is very helpful thank you so much. I will come back here after 1 year and said i have made it 💪💪
watching this over and over again!!
Thanks man. I’m a level 4 I’ve been level 5 for years I still have a lot of psychological level 5 tendencies but through a lot of action I’ve been able to curb some of the behaviors. I’m going to be taking your free course and if necessary your porn reboot course. Although I might just buy it out of curiosity. Thankyou so much for these videos
yo bro good luck with that. its quite hard but knowing its definitely possible is really motivating.
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo !! Très informative et je ne peux plus ignoré le problème je pense être au niveau 5 . Mais j’ai décidé de me soigné.
You really know your stuff man
Just went 2 months, had a relapse and feel like complete crap. Appreciate the videos man.
I literally try to stop this addiction and every once in a while I end up going back
Well I mirght be between the last two levels as my addiction is just sabotaging me from taking the exact responsibility for myself. I do not like to dramatize but you are already aware how destructive it can be for a man. I without realising went through those rough parts of the addiction. Now the only thing I have as a fact is that porn became a concrete part of even my personality. I am young and having great dreams as you said but I have been fighting off for six years without any big success and jump. And it is a vicious cycle that feeds itself. Because porn leads you to failures and those failures lead to porn. Hard to go through all alone yet fightingg should still be there.
Used to be at level 4a...
Now I’m down at level 1... I will say have sex addiction...
But I’m so happy that level ain’t porn addiction...
it’s weird... each time I feel depressed I stay away from porn... cause it reminds me of how i used to feel...
The times when I go from a happy state of life to kind of happy/sad state simultaneously as my testosteron level goes up... that’s where it’s most dangerous... and that’s why I’m here now... I always search for this videos when I’m in combat with myself
*Heyy JK when I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it won't be much interesting. But my friend I was wrong, the attention to detail on each and every point you mentioned in this Video is valuable. The Classification of levels was much needed as most of other youtubers are missing out. The way you explained the video was perfect. It's high time you must make videos not just on but on Pesonality Development. And you can rename this channel to Life Reboot which would be more interesting* 😊😊👍
Damn...my life needs work.
Excuse me, I got to cry for a bit.
Thank you for the insight.
Can i ask how are u doing today with your addiction?
I feel like i'm a level 4 type b, but almost level 5. But i have been doing this shit since around age 16 and i'm 23 now and this video really is like a punch in my face! All my life i've lived with my parents and slept in the same room, perhaps when i get my own home i'll be able to build myself a new life with new activities and new people. Last year I actually went on a summer holiday vacation with 20 young adults i didn't even know. This was really out of my comfort zone and it actually went really well! I didn't even think about porn or sex for a single second the whole two weeks. I even got a girlfriend out of it, and, ofcourse i thought about sex, but i never watched porn in that half year of being in a relationship with her. After our relationship had ended i relapsed and this was the moment i began to see my addictive porn use as a problem.
I feel like when have other joyful thinks on my mind my crave for pornography just completely vanishes, but i do realise it's still a problem when i get in a shit situation or just don't have the opportunity to do other things i really enjoy
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH. This completely explains my situation!
I am taking a break from porn because I'm moving out and I reliced that it is a addiction and I can say taking a break is making my anxiety more intense and is hard but I know that it will affect my life and I need to get out of my addiction this is bad but my addiction was level 5 and I feel guilty for that but this video has made me realise I'm not alone and we are fighting this war together and I appreciate that 🙂
I think I am a level 4 B-man. After I recently sunk to a whole new level of rock bottom for me, I realized that it's time to seek help so I contacted someone and I think I will start alone / with a accountability partner. Then I will later get a therapist or some sort of more help I think.
It was a big step for me to reveal the awful things I am addicted to watching and I am happy that I got it out. It is not worth it trying to get rid of a porn addiction by yourself, I hope that eveyone reading this at least consider talking to someone about it even if you start by talking about it online. I wish you all success on your journey.
Thanks for commenting, brother. Save yourself some time and hop on a free call with me. Use this link to find out if you qualify: elevatedrecovery.org/request-a-call/

I belong to। a conservative and relegious family,I've always wanted to be good person ,I point out and criticize my self at everything I do I try to be good ,that's what I have been as a person,so when I started mastburating 10months back I started for like once a day because many of the big internet RUclipsrs talked in their videos that once in। a day is normal and healthy so I started once , it was a new experience and I was in awe of it and then I felt guilty ,I started searching for videos on how to quit,। See again many RUclipsrs said that 2-3times a Day is natural,I was misguided and I am really angry on them I was happy on one side because I started mastburating because I didn't till I was 19 I loved it, so I continued doing right now I am at 2times a day , I want to change my life not only in case of mastburation but also depression ,anxiety disorders that I've had from the age of 15 ,help me man I really need you're help plz
I'm a type b in stage 6 and most of the time I give up because I wind up thinking, "What's it matter? It's not like I'm worth it."
I am somewhere between lvl 4 and closely approaching lvl 5. I’m happy I found this video that will help make a change in my life.
I’m a mixture of Type A and Type B. And I’m scarily an extreme mixture of Levels 3-6.... I’ve paid such an extreme price that’s cost me my health.. I feel so weird..
I am 15 and I am level 5 maybe 6... I seriously need help and I really want to quit, but I just can’t and i have no one to talk to about that... Please help me...
I'm a level 5, I desperately want to quite this addition. I'm so struggling even with my thoughts. 😢your channel helps me to believe that I can do it. Thank you
Compulsive Pornography and masturbation addiction leads to out of control anger, stubborn, anxiety, depression, fatigue, laziness, and brain shrinking.
I'm at Level 5 and a type b person with some type a characteristics. But damn, for a second there I saw the possibility of being me for once. I have had porn in my life since I was 10 years old. TEN YEARS OLD!! I'm 28 now, married and expecting my first child in a few months. I can't imagine what my life could be like with out porn. But I got a glimpse and it's exhilarating and liberating. Thanks JK! Looking forward to your further mentorship!
How are u doing today? And how is it with your child?.
I hope u got over your addiction
And live a great life
I'm guessing I'm at level 4. I'm type B. Where do I start? I will seek personal counseling to start. But I have some serious discipline issues that need to be dealt with as well.
Powerful words! 100% relatable.
Valid Points. Thanks for the video my man
You are correct that the diagnosis for internet porn addiction is going to change soon. In recent years the science around both internet usage and particularly porn has ballooned.
There is currently a pandemic of ED in Young men that we've never seen before. Otherwise healthy Young adults whose issues tie directly to internet porn use. Our medical community cannot ignore this for much longer.
In the last DSM they almost reclassified internet porn addiction but there is still pushback among professionals.
Mostly because they got this diagnosis completely wrong.
They were in fact encouraging porn usage among our youth, telling us it was harmless and even healthy!
That is about to change......
Even the science of neurology supports this new diagnosis that internet porn addiction is damaging, particularly for young men 😳
I am definitely a level 5 type A guy without question
helpful. im a lv3 type a with a bit of b behaviour! lets rebooot!
I just got married and I need to change my ways before it goes real bad. Ty for this video
Please get help. Before you hurt your spouse and future children, but better yet, your future self. Read my comment I just posted. Do whatever it takes.
"Guys this is not a game or a challenge. It´s a serious problem that destoys lives!"
This is so hard for me.I have tried and tried but still no change
I was recommended to watch your video "Why Is It So Hard To Quit Porn and Masturbation Addiction?" By one of my facebook friends. However Good luck with your channel.
Even when you think about someone girlfriend
Its even more inferioring when a topic like porn is often look-downed upon and shame those who have fall into this addiction and since popular media never talk about this kind of stuff it makes it harder to truly open up and have a honest open discussion without being ridiculous and outcasted.
I’m level 5 or 6 I was so outta control man
Christopher C Hey brother, how much progress have you made with your recovery a in the last 11 months (since you last commented in this video)?
Level 6. Couldn’t agree more with what I heard.
I sincerely appreciate these videos! Thank you.
I think I have to leave my boyfriend of four years because of his porn addiction and it is killing me
Would you be willing to talk about how it's affecting you from your perspective?
Excellent. Dealing now with all of it. Thank you.
I know I have an addiction. The problem is I cannot get the people I ask for help to see it's an addiction.
How are you doing now? Hope you are everything good
27 year old level 6B. I literally don't know life without porn since 8yrs old. No relationships with family or otherwise. Mental issues and stress from a lack of normal relationships and sex life. Yeaaaap... I even watched porn in another tab with this video playing in the background and did the deed. Lol.
I guess if you're a younger person, take this very seriously starting now. I can put down nicotine and alcohol with minimal issues. This is truly difficult but I'm gonna try.
I am level 5 knocking doors on 6
Please help me
Man great video! Im a level 5 and im crystal clear about it. Since I started meditating things got easier, cold showers and wim hof breathing got me believing this is doable. However I might just fooling myself with these online tips and should seek professional help?
Keep up the great job- Why Is It So Hard To Quit Porn and Masturbation Addiction?
So I'm in the middle of trying to quit porn and masturbation. Day 12. It's so hard right now. I find I have this constant feeling or fire or energy or whatever you want to call it, in my stomach that urges me to go back to porn. And I'm constantly sexualizing woman. Like its ridiculous, to the point where I can't even look at a pretty girls face because it will make me aware again of my sexual energy. My question is, is it possible to not sexualize every girl or even most girls? I mean, does anyone out there know what I'm talking about because they've gone through this? I want to just not have urges every single stupid time I see a half way decent face.
Whats wrong with sexualising girls? Do you think you was given a penis not to use it and do you think sex is wrong?
I need help with this, I’m pretty young compared to this subject and I have tried to quit 3 times, I quit for some time then got back into it, then when I do it my heart rate increases and i have chest pains and it’s hard to breath, what do I do
Day 1 starts for me. Wish me luck 🍀
How’re you doing ?
I AM ADDICTADED to porn and have been for a long time i thought i over came it but i havent this sucks and I HATE IT porn is the enemys game and i need this problem gone
You talked about stress having an impact on pornography usage ,what about those people who are going through depression and anxiety disorders in their life not because of porn but because of other situations ,how impactful could that be on the amount of consumption of porn ? Make a seperate video on patients of depression and anxiety disorders and porn ,thanks
I wouldn't say I'm completely a type ß man but I do atest to being a level 4.
I’m definitely level 5 based on your levels and type B. I just turned 32 and I could’ve been in a much better place. It’s complicated how I got here but I know it’s not the answer. I’m at least 2-3 weeks Porn free but still think about it sometimes. Unfortunately kicking masturbation has been much harder as I feel like it’s hard to go more than 2 days without release.
The longer your habit the harder it is to break. I've been trying to rid myself of this for 3 to 4yrs and I simply cant fully abstain. I can go on long steaks but I will always give in to it at some point. I'm 40yrs old been going heavy since 11. Its become apart of my mental programming. I'm also single and living alone which makes it 10× harder.
I feel you man, same here, just not single though, but everything else that's me man
Thank you for making this channel
I am an addict, but I’m trying to quit and I’ve gone on long streaks, but I have been trying to quit unsuccessfully for 3 years
I quit porn but I still masterbate. fetish,stress,loneliness and depression are the only triggers there maybe more if them are there but I am only aware of these few
It's gets so hard to quit cold turkey it's like getting hit below the belt
Thanks for sharing this type of video.
i have reached out to people but i am ashamed of this sickness
2 years no porn and no fapping but staying home makes me a little lonely
