Started using porn at 13 (PMO 6 or more times a day). Encountered ED at the age of 15. Since then it’s been an 8 year conscious battle against porn. I’ve been in and out of relationships, the latest relationship being my best so far….but what happened? Things were getting serious and heated so i resorted to porn……it’s ruined me
The lesson? Even after 8 years of battling, falling over and getting back up, I’ve analysed the mental health effects porn can inflict on a person.
- My anxiety from the moment of waking is high and remains high throughout the day. However, each day away from porn reduces anxieties by the smallest amount (placebo effect? maybe)
- The use of porn and the amount of DOPAMINE it gives means that NOTHING even comes close with regards to enjoyment. I.E…..I can’t enjoy anything else. The solution? Abolish porn therefore other things become interesting and worth while.
- The use definitely stems from anxiousness and boredom, a grip on life should reduce chances of relapsing again.
This is a LIFE CHANGING thing to be doing. Remember even 15 years ago the format of porn was entirely different, if dopamine levels are anything to go by then the VR/ultra fast fibre generation is in some real trouble.
Sorry if my words lack in any structure, I just really wanted to get it off my chest, i’m so sick of porn and the effects it has on me. I’m here for support if anyone wants to talk 🙂
TL:DR Porn = Anxiousness and a bottleneck at life.
