I've had a porn addiction since I was first exposed to it at 12. For years now I've been trying to quit, knowing the harm it brings both to myself, and especially to others. It's hard. But videos like these help me bring it back into perspective and remind me of why it's vital that I need to get over this. Wish me luck.
The fact you've realised and are doing something about this, you're half way through the journey. Christ help you, hopefully more people have the same revelation.
It’s not a matter of religion or not, this man is speaking only the truth. Massive respect ✊🏻 Edit : Thank you guys , it’s my first time getting more than 1k of likes but please share this video it’s fruitful
I stopped watching porn after I read how it leads to human trafficking. My conscience is clear. If I as a woman contribute to the abuse of other women a lightening should strike me down.
I never knew it leads to human trafficking and good on you for having the will power to stay far away the unhealthy habits e.g. porn. Continue the good fight and it takes alot of strength to break from addictions, be proud of yourself 😊 I hope all is well on your side?
If God passes on the lightning bolts during things like holocausts and war crimes....God's weather report is definitely clear skies with a chance of abuse.
I hate to admit this, but literally after i closed my porn tab i go to youtube and this was the first video on my home page. i still struggle with this certain addiction, and i do believe God used you two years ago to hit me at this moment, thank you Fr. please pray for me
Although I’m not catholic or Christian, I find you inspiring, eloquent and your videos are thought provoking. Our world needs more people like you. Thank you.
The topics can be well chosen and well delivered by this man. It is generally not heavy religious technical talks and more practical life help talks. I only wish that I had seen these years ago.
ROADA ROLLA DA. Anyway yes I agree with you even though I struggle with this myself. My exposure to it has perverted my thinking into believing women are objects for my pleasure rather than real human beings with a soul. One of God's creations.
That has nothing to do with hypocricy. We have to differ between the two types. First one, consenting actors, consenting amateur couples and so on. And he mentioned that too. Second type, women pressured to do something they don't want to, women being hurt and abused. And that the second one is morally wrong, has nothing to do with religion btw, is undoubtedly true. That is something we need to stop, we all together, we all together as humans not as religious warriors.
@@Niknotthicc Even with the actor's conscent it's still female objectification but I seldom if ever see that point being made at least in MSM platforms. About your second point where you speak about morality, what is morality from a strictly secular point of view? In "religion" it makes perfect sense since it's inspired from a divine all knowing source so it's objective and fixed. From a secular point of view, from what I know, it's man made and it's ever changing, for example if you ask a liberal about his values today and compare them with the views of a liberal from a century ago you'd find out it's pretty different, even today not all atheists believe for the lack of a better term in the same values. I agree that we must put a stop to this together, god knows we've been trying for years but this industry is so powerful, has infinite resources and backed by powerful people with huge influence on media platforms. I think that in this honorable fight we must come to a common ground, I think more studies should be made about the negative effects of porn on the human brain and body, if these studies hit the mainstrean media I'm sure it's gonna be a huge blow to the porn industry and more and more people will be aware of its dangers. * I'm not American sonmy English isn't very good, I apologise in advance if I made a point that isn't clear enough.
@@tylerdordon99 the definition of moral values is subjective, so yeah it changes as decades go by. And that is a good thing, in 2020 we shouldn't live be moral values someone defined thousand years ago. And on your point on women objectification, it probably is true that there is a surreal and incomplete scenario depicted. But that can be "fought" with some preventive actions. But for that we need to start speaking openly about sexuality, and all its wonderful facets.
I would add that women and children are not the only victims; men and boys are trafficked as well, alll of the above are sometimes lured by drugs and slaves to addiction. Thank you for the post!
I am not affiliated with any type of religion. However, I do work with victims of sexual abuse, and everything this guy said is absolutely true. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Suggesting that it is in any way typical for pornstars to be recruited by being "drugged and raped" is exactly as untrue as suggesting that Catholic priests are typically pedophiles. This guy may think he is driving people away from porn with claims like that but what he is actually doing the devil's work by driving people away from the church and showing Christians like himself as dishonest, delusional, or both.
@@Camdenandroid grooming for abuse can take many forms. Drugs and alcohol can be part of the grooming process. The gradual erosion of inhibitions and lessening of sensitivity to abuse is not only personal but also familial and societal. Exposure to pornography, especially at a young age, ( I believe in the US the average age of first exposure to pornography is 11) is a form of grooming to aid the acceptance of sexual exploitation and abuse. The grooming doesn't just apply to those who participate in making pornography but also to those who participate in it through viewing it or exposing others, including childtrn, to it.
I used to work in adult entertainment. I had friends that got into the film side of the industry. What this guy said is absolutely true. It's a brutal industry.

Kenny Kelly Go on a 7 day, 6 to 12 hour fast, finish at 12 noon and that’s if you can’t do it till 6 and pray to God to forgive and change your life, during those hours of fasting, you’re praying 🧎♀️ as well. During the 7 days when you’re about go to got bed when you finish taking a shower , you need about 50 coconuts into 14 individual bottles use the coconut 🥥 water to rinse yourself, each day use 2 bottles use a small bucket mixed with the coconut and proper sea salt not the one from the store, add a small handful to the bucket as well and a cup of water and mix it and when finish with the shower and you use it, you pray to God as you’re cleansing yourself to release you from any demonic bondage and spirit of lust, adultery and fornication. Then put on your clothes no lotion or anything and go outside with the anointing oil. You need seven bottles of anointing oil or small glass bottles of extra virgin oil, go outside to seven different areas around your house at night time and pray to God about freeing you from bondage and him coming into your life and then smash it on the floor for those seven days after the coconut cleanse. And then read quotations from your bible that can help in that area of enemies and demonic spirits before bed and pray, from then on start reading the Bible in general and ask God to come into your life and that you want to know him with your entire being and when you finish the fast, see the difference.
But your god doesn't save them. And continues not to. So your god either 1) isn't bothered by it 2) isn't powerful enough to stop it or..........3) just doesn't exist. I'm going with option 3.

It's horrific. Deeply unethical. I was addicted to visiting porn websites for years, I'm a girl so the shame was worse. I haven't watched porn for 2 years after really seeing how unethical porn is, I would never, ever, ever enter a porn website again. I thank god everyday for getting me away from such horrible material, but the shame never really leaves me for some reason.
Dont feel ashamed, we all do bad things, I'm a guy that was addicted to porn for 25 years. I quit 9 months ago. Be grateful and proud, you did an amazing thing to change your life. God bless you. :)
Thanks for the kind words and support, yes I am very happy I was able to shift from a state where I was watching porn to escape and not realising it's unethical nature. I am thankful, but yes I still struggle with feeling of immorality and feeling like a sinner, or immoral, or even outside of a religious context, just a bad person. I do my best to shake it off, maybe it will be something I carry for a life time, I don't know. Most people tell me I am not a bad person, that I am an even better person than most for realising it's unethical and stopping when most people don't seem to care. But still can't seem to shake it. But thanks for the support guys xx
Roberto Murillo the problem in catholicism is that you depend on priests who can only take your sins but in reality Jesus is the one and only mediator between men and God and he is only one prayer from the bottom of your heart away from you. I am also ex catholic but I gave my life to Christ, layed my sins down to him and he made me a new creation and washed me from all sin.
My parents once told me that if I ever look at porn, they said to imagine the person behind that screen; the moms, dads, actual people that only do this for the money and in some cases are a product of human trafficking.
People use others all the time. Parents use children. Wives use Husbands. Friends use friends. Neighbors use neighbors. Employers use employees. The key is "consent." Use me with my consent, otherwise it's abuse.
Thank you so much for making this video. I was involved with a boyfriend that watched pornography and sexually abused me even when we were both very young. It’s not an either/and, it comes into bedrooms and hurts women. This needs to be heard because the truth is what we need more than anything else
As a male who now has a beautiful daughter, my opinions and perspectives on this subject has changed. Everyone I watched had a dad somewhere and at some time was their daddy’s baby girl. I still struggle with it sometimes but I am trying and am working on it - thank you for the video and the way you have presented it. This really is very well said. Thank you !!!
Also women have been saying this FOR EVER and it's that no one listens to feminists like Bindel, Dworkin or MacKinnon... though these angels do source the latter.
@@cheryl5667 I support those Feminists who are against porn. But tbh Feminists are oppurtunists and hypocritic at times. So most of them support it, cuz it's a sign of liberalism or women's sexuality or whatever idk
and why do men have to have women in their family that they care about or be reminded that they have women in their family at all before denouncing violence against women.. pathetic
I want to remind you guys "To overcome a year one must overcome each month, to overcome each month one should overcome each week, to overcome each week one must overcome each day, to overcome each day one must overcome every hour, to overcome every hour ones should overcome every minute, to overcome every minute one must and should overcome each second" Love and Blessings from the Philippines God Bless.. ❤️❤️
Lot of girls nowadays think it's cool to be a pornstar though, just look at that couple here on youtube that started a porn company.they literally get thousands of girls sending their info. Women are just soo sexually liberated by feminism they think it's empowering to be a slut. No need to force these girls , they are more than willing to this out of free will
Yeah, there's lot of it in pornhub. Though i still watch porn now but i dont watch those submisive and abusive type of porn. I only watch those romantic type.
I cried watching this video. Thank you Father Casey for your boldness around this issue. Plain truth that no one wants to see or talk about. It’s all about the profit.
I don’t know who needs to hear this today but it is possible. Your addiction can be destroyed. In the name of Jesus. By the grace of God. Your addiction can be broken. It happened for me. It’s still hard. It’s still a struggle but I’m better because of it. It’s been almost a year now. It is possible. It is possible. It is possible. Think about your future. Your girlfriend, your wife, your kids, your friends, your parents, God. It affects everyone around you. Think about them. Protect yourself. I am praying for all of you. It is possible.
I never have been into porn sure I admired the womans body I never got into it myself though I wasn't aroused by it. I am technically not aloud to even touch any woman except my wife and the means such things as handshakes or hugs . I am not a Christian though I am a an observant orthodox Jew
Christianity is a good way to lose porn addiction by threatening of torture. I think any idea that’s good enough to drive you away from a addiction will help. As a atheist, I go off on reality(listening to my body) and using that to tell myself “ok that’s enough for a few months”.
I need to quit it. I'm glad that you have given a reason other than to be selfish. I'm glad it's not just about my character and that I am quitting to save those hurt too
There are youtube videos on how porn rewires your brain. Search that and I think you'll find them interesting. The is also a youtube video about Randy Spears the most popular male porn star and why he quit. I would also recommend you start fasting. It helps us control all our appetites. And I suggest that praying for the conversion of all people addicted to pornography may help as well. I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless you!
I pray for you L Marsh. I was a curious boy and found magazines of porn. Its does have an effect. Now I've am older and I have taking my faith more seriously. I have been looking for purpose life, the pain. I have found truth in the Church of God. The Universal Church. I do the Divine Chaplet and the Holy Rosary every day. I think of all the life and Passion of Christ. In how much he has loved us.
You quitting porn May keep another person from experiencing the hell I experience every day dealing with the pain physical & emotional left by people who watched porn & wanted to try it out on somebody real.
I remember watching one years ago and afterwards l googled the woman and found out that she committed suicide. She had a horrible childhood of being abused and molested. Man I felt horrible 😔
Many pornstars die by committing suicide or aids and their fans pay tribute to them by jerking off to their old videos. It is a pretty sick and disgusting if you think about it.
@@tromboner6061 unbigoted religious people ... are the best". How many of those do you think exist? By what criteria you consider them the best of people?
I am so happy to hear you speaking about this. Women have been doing the leg work on this issue for a long time and it feels like our voices are drowning.
By the grace of God I no longer watch porn. But I participate in the injustice when my friends casually speak about it and I stay silent. Thank you Fr. Casey for bringing this crucial topic to light. I have a lot of growing up to do yet.
@Roberto Murillo You want to blame one man, but there are many producers. In this sick parody of true love is nothing Godly, it is all demonic. Then there are those of us, myself included, who choose to watch it, drawn to it like moths to a flame (only to have our wings burned), chained to it like slaves condemned to death (which spiritual death pornography is). May God forgive our trashing of His Sacred Image in man and deliver us from this spiritual sickness.
Porn Ruined My Life! I Was Never Happy. It Lead Me Far Away From God. I Felt Discussed and Shamed. I Don't Struggle Anymore. Praying, Confessing My Sins and Praying The Rosary. It's Daily Fight. 🙏
Porn addiction is also harmful. My Christian brother has been battling porn addiction since he's been 16. I introduced to him Covenant Eyes, a filter for his electronics. Please pray for him and all others who want change but are struggling with temptation.
@John Russell for Covenant Eyes you do need a trusted person to become your accounted support. The system does work as reports are submitted on the activity recorded.
Super glad that instead of mentioning God or scripture, you chose to expose the porn industry for what it actually is and reminding those of us that are struggling that there are those who are willing to help us no matter how shameful our vice may be. As an atheist, I am happy to call you a brother.
@@michaelturnage3395 you have suggested one silly video after another. I saw at least 3 suggestions. I figure it out that's your life. That and praying. Both useless.
Now, repeat after me: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE GIRL GOT INTO THE INDUDTRY BY HERSELF; MANY OF THEM ARE FOOLED, AND EVEN IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE ABUSE THAT SHE'S GONNA GO TROUGH . We must protect them, Regardless of how they got into the industry. Don't blame the victim.
I'm 14 years old and I discovered porn when I was 7, that was biggest regret as a child, i now suffer from addiction to it but I'm improving after rediscovering Jesus again.
I was around 6 to 8 years old. I couldn't stop thinking about it. It ruined my childhood. Access was so easy. Even today, all you have to do to access it is accept that you are 18+. The consensual warning is a joke. A child could easily lie and access it. My parents were new to technology. They didn't know much back in the day. Filters don't do much, and there are easy ways to turn them off.
You took the approach not just on the Morality stand point, but focus on the thought "nobody gets hurt", brilliant way to shatter that notion. You didnt attack it in the perspective of faith, but made us see it through the eyes of reason, science and ultimately compassion, which compramise different aspect of faith. Continue your Minsitry Fr. May God bless your hands in producing more content like these. I srtruggle with the same addiction, and until know that notion was the demons whisper of why it should be ok. But now it can be silenced with this video.
I am an atheist and love this channel (I was raised a Catholic but stopped believing c. age 10) - even though I very much disagree with many of the positions of the Catholic Church, it is refreshing to see such a young, sincere, intelligent and articulate advocate for the faith (NO surprise he is a Franciscan). Compared to much of the religious drivel that is put out online (prosperity preachers / chancers / deranged culture-war loons) this is a remarkable and cogent breath of fresh air.
I am honestly surprised you can seriously say you left the Church at 10. It doesn’t suggest you have thought very hard about your decision if you stopped believing on the basis of the knowledge and understanding available to you as a 10 year old.
I believe if there are more religious people like this, we can have a better dialogue, between science and religion, the believers and non-believers, because we live under the same sky anyway.
Your video has touched me deeply. I was in a relationship for many years with a man addicted to porn. it was a nightmare. You video made it okay for me to feel angry and upset. Its been years since that relationship and it is still affect me. So thank you, for you words of understanding and statistics.
benjaminlewis75 if you make it illegal, simply open recovery centers for those that need help. Think about this.....the human trafficking rates are directly related to the increase in porn viewing.
Yeah this is probably the thing that helps me start my journey to quitting porn (never actually felt like anything would help me quit before). good video man. “Watching porn incentivizes human trafficking and SA” is all I needed to hear.
@@tobiaszczarnota7879 thanks for clarifying, but many people may not realize the difference. A monk is somebody who lives mostly in seclusion from society in order to grow closer to God. A friar typically does the opposite; as a matter of fact Franciscans are called to live in fraternity with other friars and spread the Gospel throughout the world.
i am in the very beginning of my journey to end and recover from my addiction. and this video and others like this help me realize that what i have been a part of for many years is not okay. not only does it affect my brain and my ability to love and maintain relationships and life. but it also harms many people who are forced into the industry for our viewing pleasure. it truly is despicable and i feel a strong urge of wanting to help spread awareness as to give others, who are in the same place as i was, motivation and drive to rise above and attack the problem that is much larger than the individual.
@Robert What a very horrible thing to say. No, this is the lie that you make up to appease your guilt. Women are not innately masochistic which is why this is so incredibly dangerous.
@Robert thats a distortion in your mind. Its only insecure, egoistical men that desire humiliating others, they are coward for they will prey on the (physically) weak, like women and little girls and boys to exert their dominance.
I don't know if you know this so I want to tell that It doesn't matter how kind you are. Once you become a porn addict, the dopamine levels or arousal threshold levels only rise when you watch more and more extreme porn. I used to be grossed out at bj videos, but as my addiction continued, I was able to watch bdsm, including male slave ones. There are lots of studies on this phenomenon and is well known. Porn raises the bar of visual stimulation to the level of abuse.
There are men in porn too doesn’t this also apply to men too not just straight porn but there is gay porn too. You hear about women and girls more but men and boys are victims too you hear about it less but they are still there.
Not the best idea to outlaw it straight out. It should be harder to get, but criminalizing it will make all of those people struggling with porn addiction less likely to recover
Thank you for covering this very sensitive content. I had known girls and guys in college who supported porn, wearing skimpy outfits, and other garbage. I'd hear all the time, "No one's getting hurt," but knew that's not true. It can affect not only the woman getting this things done to her, but the person who watches it. I've known people in my life who had an addiction to watching porn, but thankfully broke the habit.
Atlanta has been a huge hot spot for human trafficking in past years, especially because of the international airport. My friends made a movie called, "The Candy Shop," as a commentary and a way to bring awareness to the issue. I have helped run fundraisers for women's shelters and other resources in the area that help those victims in need. My husband and I used to laugh at parents with kids on leashes, but after the increase of kidnappings of children in the Greater Atlanta Area and North East Georgia, we changed our minds on this. It doesn't matter how weird it looks, we're taking every precaution to keep our kid safe and we are always vigilant.
Ted Bundy was a master manipulator. While I agree that porn is very destructive, Bundy was only telling that man what he wanted to hear. It obviously worked because you and many others believe him. All those horrible things he did was because he had a personality disorder.

I tried to bring all of this to light for my ex for so many years. His conscience does not convict him and he sees no shame in participating.
Thank you y brother for making this video. The church in general seems to be very silent on this issue. As a former protestant and evangelical Christian, I the church didn't even want to acknowledge it as a problem and that many in the Church suffered from sexual addiction and abuse. Grateful you shared this message and reflection. God Bless!
Porn destroys families and the individual, period. Thank you for doing this video. I tried to explain this to someone close and they just disregarded my comments. Hopefully they will take yours seriously.
For people who are trying to quit: try to avoid the moments where you are tempted. Think: what am i doing and where am i when i get tempted? And avoid those situations.

Thank you. Great comment
I am not a hardcore porn watcher I just dry humps myself in my bed
The trick is om deciding what is worthless. If you decide too much is worthless, be prepared to resist a lot the impulse to suicide.
Pornography portrays women and especially *TEEN GIRLS* as objects rather that actual people and it sickens me.
ROADA ROLLA DA. Anyway yes I agree with you even though I struggle with this myself. My exposure to it has perverted my thinking into believing women are objects for my pleasure rather than real human beings with a soul. One of God's creations.

It's ridiculous how people who defend women also defend the porn industry. Hypocricy at its best.
They WANT women to be single prostitutes.
@@preshrunk_cyberpunk5479 I feel like these male feminists only take their side because they are wolves looking for an easy prey.
That has nothing to do with hypocricy. We have to differ between the two types. First one, consenting actors, consenting amateur couples and so on. And he mentioned that too. Second type, women pressured to do something they don't want to, women being hurt and abused. And that the second one is morally wrong, has nothing to do with religion btw, is undoubtedly true. That is something we need to stop, we all together, we all together as humans not as religious warriors.
@@Niknotthicc Even with the actor's conscent it's still female objectification but I seldom if ever see that point being made at least in MSM platforms.
About your second point where you speak about morality, what is morality from a strictly secular point of view? In "religion" it makes perfect sense since it's inspired from a divine all knowing source so it's objective and fixed. From a secular point of view, from what I know, it's man made and it's ever changing, for example if you ask a liberal about his values today and compare them with the views of a liberal from a century ago you'd find out it's pretty different, even today not all atheists believe for the lack of a better term in the same values.
I agree that we must put a stop to this together, god knows we've been trying for years but this industry is so powerful, has infinite resources and backed by powerful people with huge influence on media platforms. I think that in this honorable fight we must come to a common ground, I think more studies should be made about the negative effects of porn on the human brain and body, if these studies hit the mainstrean media I'm sure it's gonna be a huge blow to the porn industry and more and more people will be aware of its dangers.
* I'm not American sonmy English isn't very good, I apologise in advance if I made a point that isn't clear enough.
@@tylerdordon99 the definition of moral values is subjective, so yeah it changes as decades go by. And that is a good thing, in 2020 we shouldn't live be moral values someone defined thousand years ago.
And on your point on women objectification, it probably is true that there is a surreal and incomplete scenario depicted. But that can be "fought" with some preventive actions. But for that we need to start speaking openly about sexuality, and all its wonderful facets.
I would add that women and children are not the only victims; men and boys are trafficked as well, alll of the above are sometimes lured by drugs and slaves to addiction. Thank you for the post!

@@histonime7160 You're
Joseph Spears So true!
Absolutely....I'm not sure why men and boys were not mentioned! The topic wasn't "woman" in pornography, it was pornography!
Thanks for mentioning this. It is something that isn't discussed very much.
I am not affiliated with any type of religion. However, I do work with victims of sexual abuse, and everything this guy said is absolutely true. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Suggesting that it is in any way typical for pornstars to be recruited by being "drugged and raped" is exactly as untrue as suggesting that Catholic priests are typically pedophiles.
This guy may think he is driving people away from porn with claims like that but what he is actually doing the devil's work by driving people away from the church and showing Christians like himself as dishonest, delusional, or both.
@@Camdenandroid He didn't say it was typical. It happens more often than it should. (Shouldn't happen at all)
@@Camdenandroid grooming for abuse can take many forms. Drugs and alcohol can be part of the grooming process. The gradual erosion of inhibitions and lessening of sensitivity to abuse is not only personal but also familial and societal. Exposure to pornography, especially at a young age, ( I believe in the US the average age of first exposure to pornography is 11) is a form of grooming to aid the acceptance of sexual exploitation and abuse. The grooming doesn't just apply to those who participate in making pornography but also to those who participate in it through viewing it or exposing others, including childtrn, to it.
Fact👌
I used to work in adult entertainment. I had friends that got into the film side of the industry. What this guy said is absolutely true. It's a brutal industry.

Kenny Kelly Go on a 7 day, 6 to 12 hour fast, finish at 12 noon and that’s if you can’t do it till 6 and pray to God to forgive and change your life, during those hours of fasting, you’re praying 🧎♀️ as well. During the 7 days when you’re about go to got bed when you finish taking a shower , you need about 50 coconuts into 14 individual bottles use the coconut 🥥 water to rinse yourself, each day use 2 bottles use a small bucket mixed with the coconut and proper sea salt not the one from the store, add a small handful to the bucket as well and a cup of water and mix it and when finish with the shower and you use it, you pray to God as you’re cleansing yourself to release you from any demonic bondage and spirit of lust, adultery and fornication. Then put on your clothes no lotion or anything and go outside with the anointing oil. You need seven bottles of anointing oil or small glass bottles of extra virgin oil, go outside to seven different areas around your house at night time and pray to God about freeing you from bondage and him coming into your life and then smash it on the floor for those seven days after the coconut cleanse. And then read quotations from your bible that can help in that area of enemies and demonic spirits before bed and pray, from then on start reading the Bible in general and ask God to come into your life and that you want to know him with your entire being and when you finish the fast, see the difference.

its definitely deviant, you begin to deviate from what would be natural to a normalised state of mind without millions of images altering your brain chemistry. it is deviant because it has become hypersexualised and connected to dopamine reward. its sexual and psychological conditioning. very unhealthy

Don't say "underage women". If they're under 18, they're children.

It's horrific. Deeply unethical. I was addicted to visiting porn websites for years, I'm a girl so the shame was worse. I haven't watched porn for 2 years after really seeing how unethical porn is, I would never, ever, ever enter a porn website again.

You just don't have to hold on to the shame if you've really stopped watching.
Dont feel ashamed, we all do bad things, I'm a guy that was addicted to porn for 25 years. I quit 9 months ago. Be grateful and proud, you did an amazing thing to change your life. God bless you. :)

Thanks for the kind words and support, yes I am very happy I was able to shift from a state where I was watching porn to escape and not realising it's unethical nature. I am thankful, but yes I still struggle with feeling of immorality and feeling like a sinner, or immoral, or even outside of a religious context, just a bad person. I do my best to shake it off, maybe it will be something I carry for a life time, I don't know. Most people tell me I am not a bad person, that I am an even better person than most for realising it's unethical and stopping when most people don't seem to care. But still can't seem to shake it. But thanks for the support guys xx

Roberto Murillo the problem in catholicism is that you depend on priests who can only take your sins but in reality Jesus is the one and only mediator between men and God and he is only one prayer from the bottom of your heart away from you. I am also ex catholic but I gave my life to Christ, layed my sins down to him and he made me a new creation and washed me from all sin.
My parents once told me that if I ever look at porn, they said to imagine the person behind that screen; the moms, dads, actual people that only do this for the money and in some cases are a product of human trafficking.

Christianity is a good way to lose porn addiction by threatening of torture. I think any idea that’s good enough to drive you away from a addiction will help. As a atheist, I go off on reality(listening to my body) and using that to tell myself “ok that’s enough for a few months”.

You didnt attack it in the perspective of faith, but made us see it through the eyes of reason, science and ultimately compassion, which compramise different aspect of faith.
Continue your Minsitry Fr.
May God bless your hands in producing more content like these.
I srtruggle with the same addiction, and until know that notion was the demons whisper of why it should be ok. But now it can be silenced with this video.
I am an atheist and love this channel (I was raised a Catholic but stopped believing c. age 10) - even though I very much disagree with many of the positions of the Catholic Church, it is refreshing to see such a young, sincere, intelligent and articulate advocate for the faith (NO surprise he is a Franciscan). Compared to much of the religious drivel that is put out online (prosperity preachers / chancers / deranged culture-war loons) this is a remarkable and cogent breath of fresh air.
Come back home. The Lord awaits you.
Glad you found something you agreed with. I pray I can have a similar outlook with people I don't agree with. You were very respectful.
I am honestly surprised you can seriously say you left the Church at 10. It doesn’t suggest you have thought very hard about your decision if you stopped believing on the basis of the knowledge and understanding available to you as a 10 year old.
¿What made you become an atheist?
I believe if there are more religious people like this, we can have a better dialogue, between science and religion, the believers and non-believers, because we live under the same sky anyway.
Thank you for addressing this issue! It was very much required
You are from kerala right
@@artofblessings9690 yea, how did you get to know? 😅
Your video has touched me deeply. I was in a relationship for many years with a man addicted to porn. it was a nightmare. You video made it okay for me to feel angry and upset. Its been years since that relationship and it is still affect me. So thank you, for you words of understanding and statistics.
Sad Truth Father ;(
The Thing is they are forced to do that
🤮🤮🤮
Its so disgusting and sinful
AnimeMenoTV yes it is!! Filthy garbage that needs to be thrown away and burned forever! Jesus is the way, the truth and the light!!!
@@WatchtowerofBabel yeah man I Hope They Are Forgiven And Comeback To Christ
He is not Abba (Father) only Father you have is the Heavenly Father
Many would say the very same thing about catholic priests who violated and used their position to rape young males and females.
Histonime wide brush strokes much?
Porn addicts such as my brother-in-law need to feel the true presence of Unconditional Love which is our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
Ask him to pick up the rosary...
Brian Farley I am trying to help him meditate on the Word for God is the truth, the Way and the Light. In Him anything, everything is possible!!
johns isac he does not believe, I must try a different approach which will lead to a better understanding of true love in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Are you referring to your sister's husband or spouse's brother? Just show him a video about the topic by World Video Bible School.
Darrell Perez Very good idea!
I am not a religious guy but I agree to everything said in this video . Hope this open more eyes and thank you .
Thank you Father for this well said message. This needs to be heard by more young people, that's why I shared this video.
Pornography should be illegal
Nah
Comstock law!
Posting comments like that should be illegal.
I agree with you! I want porn to go away and the world would be a better place without pornography.
benjaminlewis75 if you make it illegal, simply open recovery centers for those that need help. Think about this.....the human trafficking rates are directly related to the increase in porn viewing.
Wonderful to address this horrible world, thanks a lot
Wow you made me feel guilty for ever watching porn. Thanks for this.... Its so informative
Yeah this is probably the thing that helps me start my journey to quitting porn (never actually felt like anything would help me quit before). good video man. “Watching porn incentivizes human trafficking and SA” is all I needed to hear.
It's a tough topic to talk about but one that our society needs to hear. Well spoken Fr. Casey.
I didn't even realize he was a monk for like a minute or so
He is a friar, not a monk.
@@tobiaszczarnota7879 thanks for clarifying, but many people may not realize the difference. A monk is somebody who lives mostly in seclusion from society in order to grow closer to God. A friar typically does the opposite; as a matter of fact Franciscans are called to live in fraternity with other friars and spread the Gospel throughout the world.
Thank you for addressing this issue. Everyone needs to know this. That porn is not ok in any way shape or form.
i am in the very beginning of my journey to end and recover from my addiction. and this video and others like this help me realize that what i have been a part of for many years is not okay. not only does it affect my brain and my ability to love and maintain relationships and life. but it also harms many people who are forced into the industry for our viewing pleasure. it truly is despicable and i feel a strong urge of wanting to help spread awareness as to give others, who are in the same place as i was, motivation and drive to rise above and attack the problem that is much larger than the individual.
Dr.Trish Leigh on youtube.. Good luck
Many do love humiliting women, the the dignity to ruin their lives and family's names. And never let them live it down.
It's true... I notice this as well. Even amongst Christians. It's a dominant theme everywhere I look. Thanks for naming it, actually.
@Robert What a very horrible thing to say. No, this is the lie that you make up to appease your guilt. Women are not innately masochistic which is why this is so incredibly dangerous.
@Robert thats a distortion in your mind. Its only insecure, egoistical men that desire humiliating others, they are coward for they will prey on the (physically) weak, like women and little girls and boys to exert their dominance.
I don't know if you know this so I want to tell that
It doesn't matter how kind you are. Once you become a porn addict, the dopamine levels or arousal threshold levels only rise when you watch more and more extreme porn.
I used to be grossed out at bj videos, but as my addiction continued, I was able to watch bdsm, including male slave ones.
There are lots of studies on this phenomenon and is well known. Porn raises the bar of visual stimulation to the level of abuse.
There are men in porn too doesn’t this also apply to men too not just straight porn but there is gay porn too. You hear about women and girls more but men and boys are victims too you hear about it less but they are still there.
Thank you for sharing I didn’t know that.
Thank feminism for that
Theres nothing more repulsive about the adult industry as the fact that it hasnt been outlawed. So outlaw the adult industry.
Outlaw thought crime
Still it will exist illegally
Not the best idea to outlaw it straight out. It should be harder to get, but criminalizing it will make all of those people struggling with porn addiction less likely to recover
i will not watch it anymore after watching this video..god give me the strength to be holy and escape this addiction
how is it going
Thank you for covering this very sensitive content. I had known girls and guys in college who supported porn, wearing skimpy outfits, and other garbage.
I'd hear all the time, "No one's getting hurt," but knew that's not true. It can affect not only the woman getting this things done to her, but the person who watches it.
I've known people in my life who had an addiction to watching porn, but thankfully broke the habit.
Atlanta has been a huge hot spot for human trafficking in past years, especially because of the international airport.
My friends made a movie called, "The Candy Shop," as a commentary and a way to bring awareness to the issue.
I have helped run fundraisers for women's shelters and other resources in the area that help those victims in need.
My husband and I used to laugh at parents with kids on leashes, but after the increase of kidnappings of children in the Greater Atlanta Area and North East Georgia, we changed our minds on this. It doesn't matter how weird it looks, we're taking every precaution to keep our kid safe and we are always vigilant.
Ted Bundy tapes on Netflix, the very last episode at the very end. He said something honest. A warning against porn. It led him down his own path.
Ted Bundy was a master manipulator. While I agree that porn is very destructive, Bundy was only telling that man what he wanted to hear. It obviously worked because you and many others believe him. All those horrible things he did was because he had a personality disorder.
@@unknownstranger6875 no don't agree about this. He was being exposed at a very very young age ...5 yrs. And if toxic things is build in one's mind...definitely you'll become ugly.
And unfortunately that information along with countless other real facts about the negative effects of this subject will not be listened to and some will not fight. Very unfortunate. I tried to bring all of this to light for my ex for so many years. His conscience does not convict him and he sees no shame in participating.
Insanity led him down his path, period.
Yes, Ted Bundy was addicted to porn and he has specific type of girl to abuse and kill. So sad 😔
Thank you y brother for making this video. The church in general seems to be very silent on this issue. As a former protestant and evangelical Christian, I the church didn't even want to acknowledge it as a problem and that many in the Church suffered from sexual addiction and abuse. Grateful you shared this message and reflection. God Bless!
There are women who are slaves of debt, poverty and other circumstances.
The entertainment industry in general is very exploitive and cruel. Weinstein is but one example.
Porn destroys families and the individual, period. Thank you for doing this video. I tried to explain this to someone close and they just disregarded my comments. Hopefully they will take yours seriously.
For people who are trying to quit: try to avoid the moments where you are tempted. Think: what am i doing and where am i when i get tempted? And avoid those situations.
