How The Normalization of Pornography Impacted My Life || Consider Before Consuming Podcast 

Before 2002 porn wasn't a problem

@@Corey-iw4otactually it was. Even when there were only porn magazines, it was addicting. My marriage just ended due to his porn addiction from Playboy. It totally trashed his brain and body and even damaged his relationship with our kids.

​@@jeanettedini7259you're totally correct but access wasn't as easy. My problem was many of my friends' parents had magazines and movies. My parents didn't, and whenever I'd get a magazine home and my mom would find it, she'd throw it out. I really saw my parents weren't the normal ones, and that they were too strict and being prudes. If I only knew....

The way you use language can be very detrimental. It didn't completely ruin your life, it partially ruined a particular part of your life. Words like "never" can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Read, listen to Shad Helmsetter's "what to say to yourself when you talk to yourself". As for healing, Havening and EFT (Tapping, or a variant called FasterEFT) will cure it in usually one session. As in totally remove the painful memories. Loads of info on them on RU-vid. You will have complete healing using those. Also, get full flush Niacin, a 'b' complex, magnesium and start getting out, work-out.

Anything.....absolutely ANYTHING taken in excess can lead to serious problems, be it gambling, eating, spending money, Porn, drugs, smoking and literally a million other things.....the problem is the type of personality that will allow itself to be taken over.

@@freedomfirst5557 Of course, mate. The problem has always been internal. Even eating fruits or drinking water, in excess, can kill you. That being said, this is quite clearly more on the negative side, than it is to positively benefit you in terms of survival

⁠@@freedomfirst5557the problem is porn! NO amount of porn consumption is okay. It’s all toxic! If you think a little bit of Erectile dysfunction and violence again women and children is okay, you need to look into the symptoms of porn use and addiction!

Well the brain isn’t fully developed till 21 so….. yeah we have no impulse control. Why do u see some many teens get stupid tattoos and piercings and end up single moms…. We ain’t thinking fully yet..

Hang in there brother 🙏

To cure those, for healing, Havening and/or EFT (Tapping, or a variant called FasterEFT) will cure them very, very fast - sometimes in usually one session. As in totally remove the painful memories. Loads of info on them on RU-vid.

Praying for you, Brother. Be born again, in Jesus name.🙏🏾✝🕊

Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Woah-oh Livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer

I can’t pretend to know. But there has to be basic addiction groups you can join. You probably don’t have to go into details in these groups. Watching videos/pictures are like a carbon copy of real life. It doesn’t fulfill. Like I say, I’m no expert. But don’t let the virtual world interrupt your real world. And yes we all get somewhat infatuated by another. All it takes is the brain processing physical looks. But fight letting you letting life go by without experiencing it. Prayers buddy!

You are not alone. Go online to the national site of Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) and find a meeting in your city. I can tell you that being in a room with others that are going through the same thing will begin the healing. Take courage and look into it. ❤️

Find a therapist. No one on this platform can give you one life changing comment that will solve your problem. Finding a therapist and having multiple sessions of therapy can.

@@indiesorcerer good point...never considered the therapy option.....probably to embarrassed to admit the problem to someone who's actually in the same room...LOL

@@davidlemaster2034 therapy has been written about often as ineffective. I think it is in certain situations. However addiction groups don’t always discuss the specifics of their addiction. And you’re around other people who are struggling. I would say be cautious about “therapists”. It has been my experience they are more concerned with their billable rates.

In this video: "How Porn Destroyed Sex (and Narcissism, of course) (ENGLISH responses)" Sam Vaknin explains World journalists say that feminism has caused women to not need men, that they are independent women etc ... but Sam Vaknin explains that from a psychological point of view it is exactly the opposite: "Thanks to porn, men feel that they don't need a woman, because the man's brain is more focused on the visual a woman's site, and porn websites provide him with it for free, they also provide him with various fantasies in the form of stories, then a man does not want a partner for life... it is said that this leads to very big problems in society, the disruption of society....... ..... women are more focused on verbal contact with a man or with a partner than visual, so the male brain is convinced that the porn content is better..... that's why he feels that he doesn't need a woman, because the human brain doesn't know the difference between fantasy and reality, so the brain gives him the signal "I don't need a woman, 2D movies are better"... or he is overwhelmed by that culture. But women need men in every way to have offspring, to have someone to talk to, because women like verbal contact, etc. This is another phenomenon that, according to him, is not talked about at all. ......but journalists convince the world that women do not want men, that they are independent, etc. even if psychology says otherwise. In addition, porn reduces the ability to feel intimacy and love for a partner. that the number of people who meet in a cafe for a romantic dinner has decreased, because they are not able to feel intimacy with the other sex or a normal form of love, because porn has changed it in our culture. women are said to feel that in order to attract a man, they must dress provocatively and sexy, so that they can compete with these artificial films in porn, because men do not rave about the normal appearance of women in a decent dress as women probably are convinced...So people should do the opposite and not watch it and rather go for a walk with their partner, or find a good therapist who will teach them real love intiamcy connection etc.
