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. Stop posting on my threads, no one takes anything you say seriously.

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.

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.
-------------------- "I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay… small acts of kindness and love.” - Gandalf The Grey.

Abracadabra homes! "Each tear is a drop of poison released." - Anonymous "Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say if they knew you believe in God above?

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.

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

LRG said: 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.
Masturbation is healthy, watching porn isn't. When you start at such a young age, it becomes more than habitual, but addictive. You weren't addicted to it if you can just wake up one day and not do it, that not how it works. You would say to yourself that night after your done that you wouldn't do it anymore and promise to yourself. Wake up the next day, and say the same thing. until night time comes again, than you somehow convince yourself it's okay. That is what psychological addiction is, and it sucks.

You can wake up one day and not do it though. Its called taking action. Like I said, you have to recognize the destructive behavior, and then eliminate it. I don't see porn as being destructive, and cannot see any negative effects from it in my own life.
The problem here is that you have developed a perception that porn is unhealthy. It is if you spend hours a day watching it, and forsake other activities in life to watch porn. If all you are doing is getting yourself off at the end of the day, then what exactly is wrong with that?
Furthermore, sometimes my girlfriend and I are on different schedules, and feel urges at different times. So we use porn on our own time to scratch that itch so to speak. It doesn't mean we don't have mind blowing sex when we are both in the mood at the same time.
Different strokes for different folks. 
Any activity has the potential for harm when done in excess.

That is like saying you can smoke weed like 10 times a day for a few years, and wake up one day and stop. Doesn't happen. You convince yourself you can do it and just one more time. I'm sure a lot of people will agree with me on that.
For pornography, if you start at such a young age and it becomes so habitual, you simply can't wake up one day and not do it. You feel physical urges.

Like I said, if you do something in excess it can cause harm.
Sure, I use cannabis everyday, but not when its going to be detrimental to my performance of something (work, school, studying, certain social engagements). Likewise, one has to use porn in a healthy way as well. If you are viewing porn on your phone randomly during the day, or using it multiple times a day, than it probably is causing harm.
Just because something is habitual, doesn't automatically mean its harmful. You can watch porn and do drugs, but you have to be mindful and have some self control. You aren't a teenager anymore so why keep using that as an excuse?

If you would read my posts entirely, i am saying something like porn being psychologically addicted to it, as you can anything that releases a lot of dopamine, opens the door for addiction to grab you easier. I am not making excuses for anything. I have admitted i used both habitually. I also said i'm not blaming either of these substances, porn in moderation is not harmful, neither is cannabis. If you haven't been addicted to anything (which you clearly haven't or else you would understand) you just won't get it man. I already had an addictive personality, i was just sharing a story of how me and porn affected it.

It's not just porn it's a whole bardo. It's own archetypal circuit. UG Krishamurti said he never viewed porn and I think he was was a virgin, when he had tons of graphic sexual visions during his 'non-attainment.'

Addiction is only as strong as your mind allows it to be. I hate the "you are powerless over your addiction" crap. I really don't like it. If you choose not to do it for a few weeks GREAT. That just proves you DO HAVE THE POWER over your "addiction." If you go back to the stuff then really all it proves is that you're human. It doesn't mean you're powerless or what you are doing is "wrong." Are you really going to go the rest of your life not watching porn, having a few beers, smoking a couple joints? FUCK THAT! Life is short. Watch some naked ladies eat each other out, get wasted with your friends on the back porch, go smoke some weed in the field under the stars with your best friend. There is beauty in everything.
Being addicted to recovery is literally the worst addiction there is. I would rather be addicted to small pleasures in life than trying to overcome every urge and supposed bad thing.

If OP read my first post he would see that I used myself as an example of someone who took charge of their life. I absolutely hate everything about the "powerless over your addiction" bullshit, the mentality people have that they are "once and addict, always an addict". Bull fucking shit. People really need to grow a pair and stop playing the victim.

No one in this thread besides me has commented on the fact that porn actresses almost never actually want to be doing porn. I suppose maybe a few of the big stars like it, but most of them are anonymous, exploited, likely enslaved (human trafficking victims) human beings being used as sex objects to appease the base desires of egotistical losers. What fucking fun is it if you know they're not only not enjoying it, but actively suffering? The same lack of empathy is what drives rape. Females definitely have the moral high ground here as very few of us watch porn whereas most males do.

So, explain why so many women love "play" rape or "rough" sex? I don't get it, so don't ask me. Explain it if you can, what drives rape? I doubt you can, because you can't really fathom it.

If the activity is consensual, it's not rape, no matter what it consists of. Rape is driven by the idea that females are objects to be used to satisfy the male sex drive and that every male is entitled to sex. A rapist thinks "how dare she say no, I'm going to make her mine by force because it's my right to do what I want with her".

Wow. Never thought i would come across someone who actually believes this. None of them are human trafficking slaves unless you buy that shit off of black market stuff.
Go watch casting couch.
None of them are anonymous. They ALL have social media accounts of them doing a lot more than porn.
Nice try, though.
Just wondering, what's your IQ?

I actually believe porn is a good thing.
But it can get addictive if you combine with massive female rejection. Because you will drain your frustration on hardcore and agressive porn. Because mans need female attention to build in their core of manhood porn only substitutes the fantasy part and thus makes you less of a man.
I can be wrong but in order to have the will to do things people have to get some real stuff in their reach, and porn doesnt make you think that you could really get it.

You think if a male is raped by a female perp it's not rape. Stop posting on my threads, no one takes anything you say seriously.
Where's the female rape thread? I want to get in on that. If ya'll think a male being raped by a female is the same as the reverse, I'd like to hear the thought process behind that. Not saying that this form of rape doesn't exist, just that it's definitely not the same as being forcefully penetrated.
But to comment on topic, porn addiction can be as detrimental to your mental state as drug addiction. I don't think it's 'repressed American thinking' to believe that.

How is it not the same? Do you really think all men are just sex crazed animals all the time? Females rape males. It is just as bad as a male raping a female.

It's different because males and females experience sex differently. Sex is just not the same for women. Psychologically, it's more complex and can't usually be reduced to a physical urge, as it can be in men a lot of them time. Of course there are exceptions and I'm not discounting that fact.
Another thing is how the physical anatomy comes into play during the act. Having an object forced inside your body is much more intrusive than being coerced into becoming aroused. I suppose it's possible that a woman could penetrate a man, but a foreign object would have to be used. And even then, a man wouldn't run the risk of becoming pregnant and having to make the tough decision of abortion or raising the child of a rapist.
But I have a feeling you are coming from a moralistic standpoint and, if that's the case, I would agree with you. It's just as bad for a female to rape a male as it is for a male to rape a female. If the intentions are to hurt, doesn't matter if the person is using a dick or a pussy.

Believe it or not, a women can force a man to have a boner. Touching will physically give a man an erection, it doesn't have to be psychological. I agree man and women obviously experience sex differently, and the man will eventually ejaculate. This does not mean he wants to, and it doesn't mean he was saying no. I agree for the penetration stand point that it can be different, the women wouldn't necessarily have an orgasm, as the man is physically forced to. Morally neither is better than the other.
ive heard a lot of times when a women rapes a man they use an object to pentetrate. Not sure on any statistics or anything, but I have heard that somewhere.
The Alyssa girl said it isn't rape if a female is raping a male. That, I completely disagree with.

Only women freakout about porn. It is what gets most males through the day. The women are ridiculous attractive (usually) and very open sexually. What porn has taught me is that, women like assertive rough sex, and being directed as what they should be doing. #winning

Sperm jacking is a real thing. Women love free money, sluting it up, and then, squeezing out kids once her sexual market value plummets and gravity takes its course.
Fun fact: You as a man have absolutely ZERO reproductive rights after the moment of ejaculation. My protein is running through her digestive tract not left in a condom or listening to rhetoric about the pill and accidentally on purpose pregnancy.

Funny. I always thought to make them seem like they were worth waiting for. Allow them to set the pace and be patient. Their pleasure can last hours. Ours lasts only a few seconds.
WHAMMY when told to, and smooth and sweet the rest of the time.

A few of aspects of watching porn . . .
Control. There's a sensation of intimacy (POV), but with total control.
Zero emotional investment. Since there is nobody there, you can't get hurt.
Comfort. Using porn to soothe discomfort can mean not initiating human connections.
