How porn left from my life

I wouldn't describe myself to have been a porn addict. The element of free well made porn enjoyment quite seasonal, random and occasional. But never consistent.

But few minutes before writing this Take, I was surfing in a porn website my favourite kinks. I turned it off, and as I took my eyes off the screen I realised from the mirror in front of me that I was disgusted.

And as it is also my birthday so I realised as well that porn in itself will no longer remain a part of my life..... But why? and how?


1- Learning Neurology.

Your dopamine is the material they want to get access to.
Your dopamine is the material they want to get access to.

There's something good in learning about one's self. It is that you can interpret your own behaviour and therefore elevate to a higher level of awareness. Ever since I learned about dopamine deficiency, I started to understand addictive behaviours, enjoyment and this applies to how I felt while surfing through endless interrelated videos in porn websites.

I realise how although delicious pornographic visuals stuck in my head, and how I do get bored from existing piled porn videos. That the pleasure driven from the possibilities of what to watch is greater than anything else. Which by now sounds very stupid, people have sex everywhere everytime, would I enjoy if sex was a public activity? No! Then why would I enjoy recorded sex in front of Cameras... I realise that porn is making me dial into my ape ancestry, which is not in anyway relevant to my vision as a Civilised 21th century man.

2- Humanity

There's this young actress from post 2000 generation, I won't mention her name. But she really gets hammered well, I enjoyed her videos, and she has a tiktok.. And does videos like everyone else, and from there I realised that that's actually a human being forcing herself to be objectified that way to survive. And even though that's how the world works, I can say no.

I don't want to put value into watching the naked bodies that belong to other people. And this is driven by my own moral compass.

3- I have watched enough, needlessly

"Never get bored..!! Youre not allowed to!"
"Never get bored..!! You're not allowed to!"

It is a kind of a circus show, watching these over-perfect bodies is starting to seem very outlandish.. Plus, also, the porn industry itself is becoming extremely repetitive, so dull, out of ideas, and uncreative.


4- Porn convinces you that your sexual life is a shame.

It is meant to be private, lonely, and secretive.
It is meant to be private, lonely, and secretive.

I mean, there's still a lot of unnecessary stigmas. And who wants that. I think that the process itself doesn't feel so wrong, being alone is strength!

But porn makes you involved in a party without being invited. These people don't know who you are, they don't care who is behind those lenses watching their sex. You are completely the loser side in the whole process, you paid, or you clicked some ads.. And eventually your needs aren't satisfied, your process envy throughout the whole thing. Which becomes the whole subject.

Envy, envy, envy.
Self degradation.
Self neglect.
Self disrespect.

In exchange for a surge of dopamine and few hormones. And everyone else but you is a winner. ... Not a fair trade at all

5- Porn desensualize your sexuality.

How porn left from my life

Because the whole excitation and pleasure takes place in the brain. Your whole sexuality becomes very limited to visualisation, deep fantasies and kinks.

How porn left from my life

thanks Scarlet Johansson for this contribution in my life. Tbh, this whole movie and its message is excellently dilvered. It helped a great deal of understanding for me about why do people think porn is bad. And how it is different from actual sexual life.

The entire case against porn is in there, no regardless of how often you use it. It's such an amazing message, and more smart is that it was presented to address our mentality in the way we would tend to like it.

___________________

I don't think that porn is so bad, I think there are a lot of people who deserve self enjoyment if they couldn't fulfill themselves through a partner. We vary in fortunes, and that's ok.

But the cost that porn takes from us in exchange of what we want, is unfair.
Very much so. And in the other hand, think about the first time you watched porn, and the context of that... You will discover and learn a lot. And if you are teenager or young, this can shift your life a great deal! Once you decide that you control your own desires.

I have honestly encountered some stupid anti porn perfectionists, and they make up the whole flaw of argument. Because they are cowards and they want to take the role of saints, in a way their advice does not different to us than porn itself. Never listen to those assholes...

Never judge yourself for watching porn, just remember that there's more to enjoyment and excitement than just that.

thanks for reading 🌷

  • This is a wonderful thing to do for yourself and you will not regret it.

    My ex started watching porn and became addicted three months before we broke up. He lost all his empathy and even started mistreating his family. It wasn't entirely the point of course but his life just spiraled after, drugs and alcohol issues, living out of the car he got knowing he couldn't afford it, rebounding with a former prostitute... even his little sister told me "I don't know who that is anymore but he's not my brother."

    He has sex in her bed when she is at a sleepover because he's basically homeless, he's like an animal. Sex used to be almost sacred to him and now he just mates like a pig or something. I even told him about how pornhub was busted for child porn, trafficking material, and real sexual assault videos about a month before he started watching porn. Apparently, he didn't care!

    On most of those tube sites, you truly have no idea what you are actually watching!

    • Wow, what a terrifying story

  • My boyfriend has a porn addiction. It’s really sad seeing with how he struggles with it. He said he’s been watching porn since he was 9 years old.


    I find that our sex life isn’t too affected by it because we have a lot of the same kinks. I’m not sure how he feels about our sex life though.


    I personally do not watch porn. It does nothing for me sexually. I also been sexually assaulted several times in my life, even as a kid, so it took me a long time to not associate sex as something negative and I can actually enjoy sex now.

    • This breaks my heart honestly… 😔

  • How porn left from my life

    Brother 😭

  • So r u a porn recovering addict?

  • Tahts how is see addictions, some things are just too freaking good, they touch a weak point is us, and it blows our mind and creates a sort of short circuit and after that we lose control, the addiction takes over our thoughts and life, the addict inside us always wants to go back to that high. I think it really helps to see porn addiction as really just that, a simple addiction, and you don’t have to judge yourself and you can one day have healthy sexual needs and wants without falling into the addiction pattern.

  • Porn is a cancer that rots the brain. People that feel the need to watch it are sick people that need some serious help.

  • I hate porn so much and it's bad, it's the whole reason I'm unsuccessful in life.

    If it weren't for porn I would surely be a millionaire and be married to Kaley Cuoco by now. I hate how women with nice asses and pretty pussies are allowed to be seen having sex with guys that have big, perfect dicks. It makes me jealous!!

    I don't want anyone else to see it either.

    Great MyTake.

    • Hahahaha all men lieeeeee

    • U got a body for all that?
