I have a great story about a friend’s bachelor party, a pair of giant Pioneer speakers that were sat outside on the house deck so we could blare music while playing volleyball, and forgetting about those speakers being on the deck when later that night someone decide to put a spicy film in the VCR… the VCR that was connected to those giant Pioneer speakers… that were now blaring through the neighborhood whatever was playing on the VCR.
Porn is addictive as you say and so is the internet in general, with its quick information. I am definitely addicted to watching videos here on RUclips. There is so much free content on every topic you can imagine. I kid myself that I am doing something constructive - because the videos I watch tend to be factual / educational - but in reality it is still just time-wasting!! Anyway.. I am curious to know if you think ADHD meds help with addictive behaviour?
Hello Jethro. yeah it is... I know the feeling, for me it doesnt feel bad if I m watching something constructive that serves a purpose. I have learned many things from RUclips for example Diet and Editing. I tend to stay away from drama/gossip material, mostly educational. If m doing something on computer then I keep RUclips closed so I dont get distracted. That is tough question, they do make more balanced on most days. They do increase dopamine, so you might not do other unhealthy dopamine seeking things like drink/gamble when you are using medication. Nasty side effect with stimulants is that they can increase libido, so if you have problem with things like porn use then they can make it worse...
@@ADHDPatrick Thanks for the reply. It was only after I’d posted my question that I saw your other video on libido. I suppose meds are a trade off ultimately. But you say that you were able to get a balance by staying at a lower dose. That seems sensible to me for various reasons. I’m always surprised when I watch videos where people are reviewing Elvanse or whatever, and their doctor has pretty much started them on the maximum dose.
I have adhd and I’m struggling a lot lately I’m a college student and I can’t focus . I’m using ritalin lately and ritalin effect eventually goes away after that I feel so bad. Please I need help.
Hello Merve, sorry to hear that. I experience issues with focus too some times. Talk with your doctor about this issue, maybe they will prescribe Concerta or some other medication.
Here in the Netherlands we had commercials for phone sex after 00:00 and u would see some naked girls. There was a tv channel with just a bunch of pixels and sometime if u were lucky u saw some sex lol. But most was just your imagionation! Now u can see everything you want. The only problem I personally have with porn is that I'm 50 shades of fucked up and ive seen so many things that seeing "normal" porn does nothing to me anymore... It has to be extreme now for me to get turned on lol.
Hello Soaphy, hope you are okay :) Yeah same thing here, I remember those, haha :) I know exactly what you are talking about: Desensitization. That is the reason I have been very careful for many years about what I watch and how often. Its very hard for people to go back consuming Vanilla after that :) Same thing is with movies, its hard to get shocked when watching old horror movies after you have seen SAW franchise :)
I never understood the problem with explicit content and fapping (internet slang for pleasuring yourself, also RUclips censors the word last time I used it). I believe there is a huge stigma for it and no one talks about it from the other side, I feel like society is becoming more sexuality negative, well, not for LGB stuff, I mean stuff like this. All of my friends who are/were (were because of ex friends) into this stuff could handle it, I've met great friends through these sexuality interests. A lot of the people who have a problem with it are people who aren't my friends. I understand it can be addictive to a lot of people kind of but at the same time I don't get why there's SO MANY people who are suffering with it like, I don't get why there can't be more people like me who can moderate it. Sometimes I question why there's so much suffering in the world, it seems life is mostly suffering, not 50/50, like, over 50% suffering, whether mental issues, life issues, bad job, etc. Apparently I was diagnosed with unspecified ADHD but never took meds for it, I probably don't even have it and have something else or maybe nothing at all. I'm still not going to give up explicit content and fapping, never had an issue with it, not having an issue with it now, and never will, I get into it at least once a week, sometimes every 3 to 4 days, but USUALLY once a week.
That is awesome that you can control it. People are different, I can for example drink on the weekend without any problems, but some people easily develop problem and for them its hard to control it. I used to do nofap, but for me it was waste of time, 3-4 days for me is good routine and I m happy :)
I remember when I first started finding porn on the internet, back in the early days when Usenet and Gopher were a thing. I'd sit an wait for an image to download for like twenty minutes or more, hoping it was good enough to print out on my bubblejet printer. 🤣

Yeah I m surprised also, some people get started on such big doses no wonder they get some bad side effects!
