How pornography became the root of my addiction. * 1
    #23908493 - 12/08/16 09:21 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

So, i started watching porn at about 13.
porn releases an immense amount of dopamine, therefore being highly addictive.
At around the age of 15,i started experimenting with opiates, and benzos.
Always convinced myself i wasn't addicted, but after getting immense physical withdrawals, i began to come to that realization, and didn't stop until i was about 18.
Here's how porn influenced that.
Being addicted to porn, which sounds weird, lowers your so called "will power" to stop doing something. I even jokingly tried to stop watching it for a couple nights and realized i couldn't, and didn't think much of it. I eventually realized i couldn't stop, but didn't care because i didn't think it was harmful.
Little did i know in the near future this made it a lot easier to become addicted to things. Anything, even weed, and i would lose a lot of good years of my life disrespecting women, dropping out of high school and getting my GED (which i guess turned out okay). Those years my memory have always been very hazey. Mostly accompanied my smoking cannabis, but later started pills and what not.
I am not blaming porn or any of these substances for these, i realize i made the mistake.

Anyways, just wanted to share my experience and hear your thoughts on this.

Porn is absolutely one of the most destructive things I have dealt with.

Well thank god sobriety is a choice based static event  So you can stop whenever you decide to grow up.  And if you need some help doing it because withdrawals are physically very challenging there are places and ways to help with that.  And for the porn.  Saying you cant stop is a lie plain and simple.  Dont let people brain wash you into thinking otherwise.  It is your choice to turn on your Pc.  Choice to move the mouse to click on the internet icon.  Choice to type in the website of you choice.  Choice to click the video.  Choice to wip out your penis and masturbate. Same goes with the drugs.  But if you have withdrawals you may want help because it is very painful medical condition to go through. 

I have plenty of friends who have gotten over massive opiate addictions and porn addictions with some trial and error and now they are healthy individuals and way way way better people because of it.
Just stop watching porn.  I did.  You can too. Its a disgusting habit and shameful. Lets be real. Life is  better without indulging in it.  its just a trick of biological procceses on the psyche to want to continue - but it holds no Real power over you. Its like a magic trick.  Once you see through it you know the game and can say fuck that Im not playing any more because its rigged.

You always have will power, dont fall for the lie that your some powerless shmuck that only something else can save you.  I detest that kind of weak thinking.  Getting help is no problemo.  But thinking you have no power when you a human being?  If only you knew what I have been through.  You never lose your will.

Healthy living is the way to go 100% non negotiable.  Opiates are a tool for extreme physical pain Only.  Dont use other drugs if they inhibit you and make you stupid enough to think doing more addictive things is OK, plain and simple.

I had an opiate addiction and benzo addiction when I was young and I went through 7 different inpatient facilities and some year long ones too.  I never wanted any of it.  I quit when I realized the nature of the drug/man combo doesnt fit into my bill of the good life.  I simply made a choice one day at home to not make it a big deal and go through the sickness and stop deceiving myself in general, got sick for a few months then never looked back, even through cancer.  Fuck that stuff it is poison and should only be used for end of care pain or extreme cancer pain and things like that if your dying.  You know what I mean hopefully.

I was addicted to opiates in my high school years. I've used many different drugs. You name it and I've probably done it. There was a time in my life where I had this insatiable curiosity to experience every mind altering substance I could get my hands on. I was completely naive to the risks involved; I thought I was invincible, thought I would never get addicted. I even prided myself on my knowledge of substances and their effects.

What I didn't have was any awareness of the ugliness of addiction. No experience, no knowledge, and not even acknowledgement. What could you expect from a teenager with an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex? I wasn't being rational. I did not have the mental capacity to assess risk and future consequences of my actions. That part of your brain doesn't fully develop until you are around 25.

You made a mistake, as did I. Although I do not think that you can blame porn, you would have likely become addicted to something at some point. Some people are predisposed to addiction. That does not mean that everyone who has an addictive personality will become addicted to something. It simply increases the likelihood. When we are in stressful situation, caused by external factor (your parents split up and are constantly putting you in the middle) or internal factors (worrying about being accepted by your peers) this addictive personality rears its ugly head. If this happens when you are a teenager with limited awareness of risk, and you are around people who use drugs, the chances of you become addicted to a drug you experiment with are quite high. Especially if its a drug you can develop a dependency for!

I was addicted to heroin from 15-17. It started out fun, but within a few months I was hooked. I started out snorting and when I quit I was on the needle. I quit just in time to get on methadone for my last year in HS. I even graduated with honors and a scholarship. When I was being treated for my addiction, my counsellor was all for harm reduction. He supported the idea of substituting harmful drugs with cannabis. I still use cannabis daily.

We have to learn how to deal with stress in life in a healthy way. Now that I am an adult, its a whole lot easier. I have hobbies and exercise; I always have some outlet to rid myself of stress. I'm still working on my life though. I do want to get to a point where I'm not using cannabis daily, but its been such an important crutch in my life for as long as I can remember. At the end of the day its much less harmful than other substances, alcohol included.

Perhaps there are people out there with addictive traits who managed to get to their adult years without become addicted to a substance or behavior. Once you are an adult, and you have learnt to cope with things in a healthy way, the risk of addiction is much lower. We are a product of our environment, as well as our DNA.

At the end of the day you have the power to make a choice. You are the one who makes all the executive decisions in your life. If you believe a behavior is destructive to your life, then only you can make the choice to eliminate that behavior.

I know it is my choice, i said that in the original post. It was also my choice to take those drugs as well.

Why have I never felt the desire to watch porn? Are the immense amounts of dopamine supposedly associated with it specific to the male brain? My libido is very high, I just think porn is trash. It exploits females, many of whom are victims of human trafficking (although this is mostly in the third world, it does happen in America) or coerced in other ways.

You think if a male is raped by a female perp it's not rape.

Porn is no substitute for anything and (probably) warps the brain in the sense described by those anti-porn theories. Certainly seems to have killed my drive. Sigh! Sad.

Nothing's funnier and yet sadder than listening to sexually repressed Americans talk about porn.

Except for Bill "I love pornography" Hicks. That's just funny.

Porn doesn't have the same effect on everyone. My girlfriend and I watch it together from time to time, I really think it actually has had a positive effect on our sex life.

Obviously for some people it can be destructive. There wouldn't be over 200 000 nofap subscribers on reddit if some people didn't perceive it as doing harm. If you are a single dude sitting at home jerking it to porn everyday when you could be out chasing the real thing.. well.. you should just stop watching so much porn. :shrug:

So do me and my girlfriend, i mean 1 out of every 75 times we have sex or something. We don't really get into it it ends up being background noise. When she didn't feel like sex i used to go in the bathroom and watch porn and jack it.

Honestly... you're a guy. You like to see women naked. It's in our DNA. You literally CANNOT CHANGE that. Well... unless you're gay and gaping buttholes are disgusting imo.

"What's that you like to see homos naked?" - Joe Dirt.
---> The truth in this statement is really quite profound. Women like seeing guys naked and vice versa. Internet makes it incredibly easy to satisfy that lust.

The problem with porn is it can be unhealthy to a psyche. If that's the only way you can get aroused that's really unhealthy. If you watch... unhealthy porn or the real bad stuff, that's really unhealthy and flat out BAD.

I go to these meetings at a church and these people talk about their addictions and crap. How they're all powerless to change and all that. They rely on Jesus and God to help them. That's all well and good, but the truth is you're are NOT powerless. You have the power to change within yourself.

Take me. I used to be addicted to porn, video games, and smoking weed. What did I do? I woke up one day and decided I didn't want to smoke weed anymore and stopped playing video games so much. I still watch porn, but it's easy disassociate myself from the fantasy that porn IS. I could stop completely but why would I want to? It's just too easy to get that release when you need it. That's what I use it for. Does that make me addicted or is porn simply a simple solution to an inconvenience every now and then.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to look at naked ladies. It's natural. Completely natural, but the real problem is where does your lust take you? I don't spend hours looking at porn. I do my business and carry on with my day. Long day at work, queenie isn't home or feeling up to it, and I'm not about to sit around with my finger up my butt. I'm gonna get mines and be done with it.

If you can disassociate self pleasure and the intimacy of sex... you're not addicted to porn. You're actually very wise and probably dynamite in bed. That's where many find themselves stuck. Many don't have a partner to be intimate with so they encompass themselves with porn and fail to seek out real intimacy with another.

Masturbation is healthy. I think there comes a point where it can be TOO much, but honestly I see nothing wrong with doing it everyday if you don't have someone. That being said, you should exercise self control over those desires, and show yourself you are not powerless. You are POWERFUL.

You nailed everything right on the head. +1 for the comment on the 12 steps bullshit. +2 on the comment about dissociating intimacy from self pleasure.

Take me. I used to be addicted to porn, video games, and smoking weed. What did I do? I woke up one day and decided I didn't want to smoke weed anymore and stopped playing video games so much. I still watch porn, but it's easy disassociate myself from the fantasy that porn IS. I could stop completely but why would I want to? It's just too easy to get that release when you need it. That's what I use it for. Does that make me addicted or is porn simply a simple solution to an inconvenience every now and then.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to look at naked ladies. It's natural. Completely natural, but the real problem is where does your lust take you? I don't spend hours looking at porn. I do my business and carry on with my day. Long day at work, queenie isn't home or feeling up to it, and I'm not about to sit around with my finger up my butt. I'm gonna get mines and be done with it.

If you can disassociate self pleasure and the intimacy of sex... you're not addicted to porn. You're actually very wise and probably dynamite in bed. That's where many find themselves stuck. Many don't have a partner to be intimate with so they encompass themselves with porn and fail to seek out real intimacy with another.

Masturbation is healthy. I think there comes a point where it can be TOO much, but honestly I see nothing wrong with doing it everyday if you don't have someone. That being said, you should exercise self control over those desires, and show yourself you are not powerless. You are POWERFUL.




Sorry, your pornographic rant just left me cold.  Who are you preaching to, exactly?  I can jack off all day long and it's not helping.  Your lecturing me as the jack off king is never going to help.  Your lecturing about jacking off is really sad.  Masturbation isn't healthy any more than sucking dicks well maybe more than sucking dicks but still it's not that healthy.  Not that I would know about sucking dicks other than having my dick sucked.  OMG I can't believe this forum anymore it's going down
