Jak, you are the most real and relatable person on RU-vid right now. You are not shitting your audience. You genuinely want to help make this world a better place and we love you for that! ❤
The amount of times ive cried after relapsing because the disgust and guilt afterwards is insane. Thanks for sharing your story so honest and talking to us so real. Wish me luck.
I strongly recommend you read the book: The Easy Peasy Way to Quit Porn, just look it up and its free. I have now gone a week without porn and haven’t had any depression, mood swings, all I’ve had was strong cravings and trouble sleeping. But now after a week nothing, I am able to sleep fine and I barely get cravings anymore. I am beginning to feel happy and a lot less miserable. I am free from my porn addiction and I want you to be too. So please read the book but do everything it says and follow all instructions. It will help I promise.
Honestly the fact that this man has not only gotten over this but has the mental fortitude to talk about it in-depth to provide help to his audience is absolutely insane. Thank you so much, keep it going!
Haha yeah it’s kinda awkward sometimes when I make a vid like this and go to school the next week ahah. But I’ve gotten over it now, it’s just fuel at this point ❤️
I can barely even make it two days. I tried to do it myself, just by pure self control, and this video is just what I needed to keep trying. I was quite literally just on the brink of giving up, literally just minutes away, and it just turned out I needed someone else to help me. Thanks, man.
Ik you don’t know me and I don’t know you but how has it gone since? I also relate to this problem, I can go for about 4-5 days and it just happens again and again.
It's not that simple. When our lives are mundane and boring, we need a quick way to add a bit of excitement. Otherwise that lack of dopamine will make us lethargic and unmotivated to do even the most basic things and keep us from maintaining good habits.
@@BRBallin1 It only feels like it’s not that simple because porn isn’t giving you the dopamine you need to be motivated and fulfilled by the things you wish you were doing, it’s taking it away. Your brain used to have all the dopamine it needed to love life or at least make it tolerable, produced naturally, until the cycle of porn started with that one unsuspecting peek and caused your brain to slowly over time trim the number of dopamine/opioid receptors to accommodate for the fleeting but daily chemical flooding. The moment you stop your brain begins the healing process, physically recovering completely in just 3 weeks, but if you’re unaware of that then that absence of receptors makes what non users enjoy doing, feel dull, empty or even irritating for your desensitized brain. And so you start to believe life just gets more mundane and boring as it goes on and you fear life will be melancholic without that bit of excitement nothing else can quite provide. So then you repeat the cycle and cut your brain short again before it can recover, which once that flood leaves moments after orgasm, essentially taking the dopamine you already had stored in your brain in the first place and flushing it down the drain, we’re left feeling lethargic and unmotivated to do even the most basic things and this desensitization keeps us from maintaining good habits. And edging will just make it worse.
Even though i'm a girl, corn is something i've been dealing with. Your video really just encourage me more to try harder to control what's in the mind. Thank you so much bro
In 2 Timothy 2:22, Paul offers some of the best, most concise bits of Biblical advice on how to overcome lust: “So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” Commit it to memory. Chew on it daily.
Your videos aren’t cringe at all Jak. The ones who think they are are the ones who know they will never be strong enough to quit. Stay strong and keep motivating 💪
I’m really angry watching this… but I know I’m angry cause it’s true. I feel like you’re literally telling me my own story, word for word. This means that I can also quit, so thank you. This was very helpful.
I'll do 10 push-ups for every like this gets I'll just keep the tracker here and I will remember to update: 6900 (nice) Last edit:26/9/24 Edit: I may just cap it off at 100k push-ups this is gonna be a long journey.
Thanks for spreading this message Jak, i know a lot of people who are struggling with this myself included. I really wish corn wasn't as normalised as it is now, but i want you guys that struggle with this to know that quitting it is possible!
I was literally about to relapse when I stumbled across this video. God bless you brother. I hope you go on to become an even greater man, because you've sure encouraged me to do so. God be with you dude.
I used to be super addicted. I did it everyday, and I'm not kidding, I did it for over 500 days (almost) everyday. It got so bad that one weekend I was home alone, I was thinking about cleaning the house, going to do intense workouts, write my book that I was writing. But no, all I did was watch movies and watch corn simultaneously. And I relapsed about 3 times the first day. And my energy was so low that I couldn't even get myself to clean AROUND the house. That's how it will ruin your life. A huge part of getting willpower is by getting rid of the addiction because all of your brain is getting affected by s**ualization. How I quit was that everytime I had the urge, I thought about the excuse to beat it. And then I silenced that voice and did something good for you. Like do a little workout, meditation to empty your mind, or go outside. (especially, because outside you try to avoid that urge because socialization) And when the rock was hard, I always allowed it to be. That way I slowly got rid of the addiction. Now I have a pretty good willpower.
Keep it up brother. About two years ago I did fapped 3 times everyday for 350 days, on weekends often even 5-7 times. Suddenly one day I just stopped. No porn, no fap, nothing. I don’t really know why but for 6 weeks straight I didn’t do it. I had such an urge after 10 days I just drove 30km with my bike to distract myself. I’m not sporty - never been. I just drove. After a month I felt so damn hell great. After those 6 weeks I did it only every 2nd/3rd day. Now since a year I have certain days on which I do it. I don’t really have more motivation to do sports and stuff, but it’s enough to make it through the day. I want to change that. I want more motivation to study for school and cardio and I want to stop thinking everyday “I have no desire to live. But I won’t unalive myself because I don’t want my family to be sad - especially my parents”. I just want to at least feel no sadness anymore. If I could I’d like to lose all feelings, my empathy. Sometimes I actually even have the feeling of whether sadness nor happiness or anything else and it feels great (yeah I know, sounds kinda contradictory). I’m sorry this story went into the wrong direction. I’m glad I saw this video and read your comment. Thanks. But I have question: Did you stopped fapping at all or just stopped watching corn? Because that’s what I’m asking myself: Is Jak only talking about 3.5 years fapping without corn or fapping at all. I’ll try from now on to stop at least two weeks and then I’ll look forward. I’ll keep you updated, if I won’t forget.
@@ninjaboi_.shadowmaster6283 so there's a difference between semen retention and nofap. semen retention is no nvtting obviously and nofap is no corn. in a few of jaks vids he said on like a few hundred days or smth he just beat it dry like no stimulation or anything and it felt really awkward or sumn so ig he is doing nofap and semen retention rn. hope u doin better now bro and hope u get a response from jak. Chur
That s just crap. I do it even today for 2-3 times and I can still go to the gym, I still have friends, I still go out and help my father with grocery or our little business. If you don't have a girlfriend it s totally understandable doing it. Don't torture yourself like that. Moderation is key
It's really stupid to claim a god has any business telling us what not to do with our bodies. Don't get me wrong- Quitting a habit is a choice you're making and I'm proud of you for doing so, but bodily autonomy is a human right.
@@dirtydan9785 God gave me the strength to surpass this spirit killing addiction, it took me too long to find him for I lacked the humility needed to seek his guidance.
Making me tear up before my shower bro. Real though. Corn ruined my life, this video is a reflection of how I feel towards it - and served as a pretty fucking sick reminder to quit.
I love watching porn it’s not and addiction it just feels good I hate that they say that it’s bad for men it’s not at all. Just don’t be addicted you can watch but don’t be addicted.
I know he was saying “bro” and “dude” this whole video but, ladies, this can very much so still apply to you. If you are struggling with a 🌽 addiction, you got this and you’re not alone. This message is for anyone who is struggling and is open to getting help so if it speaks to you, whether your male or female, run with it and improve your life. Also, I’m rooting for ya!
honestly the kids at my class see watching porn as some sort of status and power and i was really curious what porn was about so i tried it and at first it disgusted me but i slowly began to like it and that's how it started. I'm trying to slowly quit but its kinda hard. idc how long its gonna take. i will stop
its very jarring to see the photos where youre younger as youre talking about your addiction, but its eye opening to think we get addicted to this garbage at such a young age. great video mate
i needed this, Thank You imma be completely honest i relate to every single thing you said in this video, every last detail(except the 14 in two days for me it was regretfully 6) with this video tho it brings to me a whole new perspective on corn and how i can change my view and get over the many urges, so what im trying to say is your not at all cringe, and i thank you brother from the very bottom of my heart :)
I’m so glad you got this kind of value bro, it’s crazy how similar we all actually are haha. Much love man and I hope you take action on my words yeah 🤞❤️
I am over a month clean, having somebody to hold me accountable, and having an app that blocks all sites has greatly helped me stay sober. Good luck guys! I will never watch it again! LETS GO BOYS
As someone who came from a bad corn addiction i must say that, i over complicated it too much. if you really observe it you realize that its a mental game, You really just need to overcome those thoughts that's what i learnt over my time. The best tip i can give is meditation it helps to overcome those thought, just need to take a few deep breaths and let the magic happen. Awesome video Jak love the content Brother. Much love❤❤
Meditation is goated bro, it’s a gem and I should have mentioned it in this video to be honest. Thank you for your support brother, you’ve been here since day 1 and you’re definitely one of the reasons for the milestone of 500k, one love 🤞❤️
@@Eeebee392Yeah. It helps to also mentally detach corn itself from the feeling of master nation. Once you do that you can see it a lot more objectively and realize it’s weird and honestly disgusting. Not to mention all the extremely negative things like the fact a lot of girls are trafficked, coerced, or abused. There’s also a large suicide rate. If you watch those videos regularly chances are you’ve got off to some that was forced to perform and/or someone that ended up taking their life or ODing on drugs because they couldn’t cope with the acts you watched. Sobering thought.
"When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure" ~ Viktor Frankl This quote really had a profound impact on me and it is so true. The urge is the biggest when you are bored and unproductive, like you said with you on Thursdays and Sundays. And the only way to win this battle, is to find that meaning and purpose and determine who you want to be. I never really comment on youtube videos, but I feel that sharing this quote might just help someone.
I can empathise, I have felt that this was probably the reason for my habits a long time ago, but I stop caring for a while, now it's time to get back on track
I was literally scrolling through RU-vid trying to find a video to watch. Since I just got done watching corn. This video popped up and it really touched me. It really opened my eyes and I truly believe in myself and that I can stop!
This guy has become my favorite kind of video like a good college friend is just chatting with you as you leave the party. Just life changing conversations with a good friend.
This addiction first started for me when I was just 10 years old, 9 years later this addiction is still stuck with me but I am slowly getting there. Ty for this video
hi jak. im a 17 yo, high schooler, and i wanna let you how deeply this video hit me. its incomparably educational, and very VERY fucking motivational. so many parts i can relate like never making past day 7 as a rest day, many nuts a day in some days that i get bored. God let me see this video for a reason i know it, i am already to my day 5 for this round after a REALLY big epiphany that led me away from porn, this video only solidifies that determination. you are very blessed sir 🫵🫵🫡🫡🫡🫡 thank you for the video and keep up the good work!!!
It can't really always be that easy since you let in spirirt spouses, initiate yourself into rituals, let in marine spirirts, perversion spirirts, python causing sleep paralysis, etc. The easiest way to quit if you don't deal with the spirirtual side is to just not have devices. These issues usually originally come from already being SA'ed and/or neglect. I think without deliverance (which is a process anyways) the only way to stop m@sturbating is to be busy as much as possible and don't be alone too much. Learn how to snap back into self or go outside or something when demons take over. Demons use your seed and eggs to repopulate the marine mingdom and most likely other demon kingdoms.
Hey Brother. First of all I want to let you know I am a Christian with good knowledge of the bible. I wouldn't listen to this dudes spiritual spouses BS. There isn't anything in the bible in regards to that. The bible does however say if you look with lust you commit adultery. With that being said, dude check out Ever Accountable or something like that. It's an acountibility and filter software for all of your devices. It monitors what I do and sends a report every week of everything I've viewed on my device with screenshots as well to a really close friend of mine. It does cost me 10 dollars a month but I haven't been to a corn site in 11 months and two weeks. I don't work for them, it has legitimately helped change my life.
@@boazray608 It's not a "mentality" this is the behind the scenes of the ritual of fornication and other things. Fornication such as m@sturbation is illegal in the spirit realm and these things can happen if you do it. If you do it a lot that's when you can get very noticable symptoms of demonic oppression such as sleep paralysis. This is usually a coping mechanism for sexual Traumas, neglect, and/or loneliness in more ways than one. And getting in fornication relationship or even getting married won't fix this. It'll just mean here will be a victim to your perversion. This is just what happens you can go through self deliverance though. Or deliverance with someone else but there would still be work you mostly so on your own.
The music just makes these sad stories just more relatable. I grew up on C418's music. I am a teen and shouldn't have nostalgia about stuff like this, but I DO. My mental health has been ruined by watching p*rn. I stopped a long while ago, and alot of it is from you. I have just now subscribed to you, but I should've earlier. Your conversations change LIVES. I am so grateful to you.
o7 dude for making this, like literally idk of anyone who talks about this kinda stuff so down to earth. theres a lot of things i dont really like to talk about even with my closest friends, or family even, that i'd never bring up.
Thank you, I’ve never felt like somebody was speaking directly to me in a video before. You inspire me to try and really stop doing this. So really thank you for sharing and trying to help similar young men 🙏🏻
Jak,u can't believe how happy i 'am because of your videos,thank god that i saw your channel in the last few days.yesterday i was really proud of myself,so, the teacher gave us a homework and she asked us who did the homework i gave u and litterally no one raised his hand especially me because i had that social anxiety and streesed at that moment so i remebered u saying no one gives a f*ck about you and i raised my hand & iwas the only one that had an extra point at exam THANK U JAK❤
This just made my night man. I want you to remind yourself of this experience whenever you hesitate to speak your truth or stand out from the crowd. This is a sign to embrace your truest, most authentic self. You should be immensely proud of yourself brother ❤️
similar thing happened to me but when my Irish teacher asked "does anyone need the sentance there are 2 people in my house" which means me and 1 parent i raised my hand as the only one in the class and felt instantly stressed
I'll do 2 push ups for every like this comment gets. Edit: going slow but will try to pick up the pace from now on Edit: 11/08/2024: 200/382 done Edit: 13/08/2024: 300/574 Edit: 17/08/2024: 450/1148 Edit: 24/08/2024: 800/1274 Edit: Oof I didn't remember this and now I don't even know how many I've done till now So ig no updates on this anymore thanks guys
16 yo girl here, this video actually helped me quit picking my skin! Although I have never had issues with porn, my skin picking urge has always been really bad, and this video really helped me quit. It's been 10 days and I'm still going strong. Thanks so much!
Absolutely love this bro. I relate to you more than you know and so do millions of other young men. Porn is evil. Porn is a literal drug addiction but the scars and wounds are mental. Psychological. I’m 24 and I’ve been struggling since I was around 19. Do not give up. Destroy lust.
I thought I recognized the background music... What can I say except thank you for getting me into self improvement, I AM going to get out of this whole that is porn.
Great video Sir! I would like to mention a book that you havent mentioned and its for Insecure Americans. its called CrushAnyGirl, so on its for finding a girlfriend as Insecure American. After reading, you will have a better perspective on girls and find your gf in thirty days plus, its guaranteed Highly recommended to read
Congrats on 500k Jak. 🎉🎉 You deserve every bit of your success. You're a real and authentic fella. Every one of your vids come from your heart, and that is what makes your vids impactful. We all rooting for you to 1M. ❤
You have saved and helped my health more times than what I remember, just by speaking with no lies, only truths and a hope that the people that watch your videos, the ones that truly care about you, learn something valuable. Hope you have a great future.❤️
I’m sure only a few people are gonna read this, but these kind of videos have really helped me to stop jerking it for over 5 months now (ongoing). And this inspirational video will be my mental support for quitting corn. Having someone to relate to out there with the same problems I have is, for me, the most important thing. Stay strong in your journey people💪💪
Such a good timing. I'm 16, and I've discovered this "pleasure endless source" when I was 10 years old, out of nowhere, but these years it became an addiction, not because of porn, but because of fetishism. I've tried dozens of times and there were times I just thought: "Screw it, you're making a big deal out of it, everyone does that from time to time" and I give in. It isn't affecting my life that much, but it's always in the back of my mind, that sense of guilt. I was actually gonna do it now, but I won't. I must try again. I've tried so many times, but as you've stated, I'm not motivated enough. But let's see how this goes. Thank you Jax so much.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been struggling with addiction since going back to school after C*vid, when I was 14 years old. And even before then I remember watching since I was 12. I have told myself many times that this will be the last time, but it never was. Since I finished mandatory education, it has gotten better, perhaps because there is less that I need to take my mind off, but I am stilling watching at least once a week. Watching this video has honestly motivated me, and I hope I will see change in the near future. Possibly the most impactful take away for me is that I am in control, and if I give myself a goal and think of the ways corn will keep me back from reaching that goal, I think I can seriously stop forever this time. Thank you.
You sir just earned my respect and got a new follower, you're a real one for this and i appreciate the honesty. I've been struggling with the same problem and after watching this; I deleted everything. There will be no more corn.
Honestly Jack continue what ur giving to the world because it’s cute aging my life for the good and I know it is for others. Thanks man for all your advice, stay freakin legend and keeping spreading ur words of wisdom
man this guy, i have no words left to describe how effective he was. he just left me speechless in the end there. Loved the video bro. Post more bro!!!!
Man.. I’ve watched some videos about this before but they really didn’t make sense to me in the fact that they usually just talk about how its gonna be when you reach your goal, but I haven’t seen a video this real, like no one really talks about how much corn affects your mind and everything around you. The slightest bit of thought can be related to corn and that’s awful because your own mind tells you it’s okay and makes you think you are not in control of that situation, but you actually are. At the end of the day it’s just you and your own thoughts, no one else is there, it’s your own choice to be feeling that way. Thanks big bro, this is just the beginning of something great in the life of everyone who feels or has felt like this before 🙌
I got rejected earlier today, and am taking steps to better myself because of it. I know that this is my biggest problem. Thank you so much for this. You are literally going to change my life for the better. Keep doing this. You’re helping so many people.
Thank you darth Vader, I do not take your words lightly bro. You have to realise you got rejected for a reason. This is your chance to rise and become the best version of you. Use that fuel you have rn bro ❤️
@@cobrazoid That's one way to look at it sure, but on the other hand having external motivation to do something is far easier than motiving yourself internally (at least for me and others like me). If getting a like motivates this man to do pull ups, what should that matter to you? If you yourself can go do pullups without external motivation, good for you, but don't invalidate other people's method of motivating themselves just because you don't need the same type of motivation.
@@BlackJoe222 I respect your opinion and pov, however that is wild to have people like a persons comment to be as a motivator. And to be fair, what does even having likes on your comment benefit anything? Absolutely nothing. Also, I have seen these types of comments everywhere, so I probably might have been stupid for falling a bait, which is also a possibility. I know I may have come off harsh on that person, but come on, seeing people asking for likes on whatever videos they maybe on, just ticks me off. But I doubt this person even did pulls ups. Other than that, have a good one.
@@cobrazoid Fair enough; it's certainly possible he didn't do any pull ups, and I definitely see comments begging for likes on lots of videos too. I also appreciate your well-thought out response, as these kinds of discussions/debates are quite enjoyable to me, as opposed to the ones where people are just yelling at each other without thinking. Lastly, in response to your last bit, you have a good one as well.
I've really committed to this whole corn thing, and it's a real shame I've started since I was just 10 years old. I'm 17 years old and still going at it until this video.. It's really bad to be doing this even at a younger age with all of my curiosity and such, but this really changed how i view this vile stuff. I appreciate this greatly
Cant believe how much i relate to your story Jak, u have given me motivation and urge to stop this addiction. I will try my best and hope that my willpower is enough for me to stop this habit forever. Thank you Jak, ur a one in a million content creator ❤
6:52 it affects me at how i look at women, my young self could be so ashamed of me that he couldnt even talk to me and this for a fact, but it somehow got me im not doin it so many times as u (1-2 times) but just from the way i know look at women it disqusts me that i ask myself if i need to go to a psychologist but from today im not go8ng to count the days , and every time i get the urge im gonna give myself an example of getting a woman everyday pregnant so it will make me feel crazy so i will stop getting that urge. the only message it give to my young self is that i fell into the trap be ready to fight little bud
I’m very proud of you Jak, you may not think this but what you have done is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do, one of the hardest things a person can do. Thank you for telling me what to do, I was stuck and couldn’t do anything, 🌽 was ruining my relationship and interfering with my religon. I saw your video and decided it was time to stop. Now I’m 3 weeks clean, hopefully I can keep it up.
This may be hard to believe but after 3 weeks your brain and body have fully healed by now. It doesn’t feel that way because willpower actually makes it harder, not easier. Look up the EasyPeasy method, it’s free online and with it you won’t have to hope, you’ll know you’ve won.
I made it past two weeks twice, but each time I relapsed. The last time I lasted 2 weeks was 10 months ago, and since then, despite watching it, it’s gotten much farther between relapses, not 2 weeks farther, but at least 4 days, 5, even a week once. Thank you for making this video, it’s encouraged me to keep on trying even when I tell myself it’s impossible.
Jak, I don’t see any of this cringe at all!!! I struggle with it just as you struggled!!! I’m in a hard state rn mentally and physically!! I’m in the same place that you were! But your video just gave me motivation to keep fighting!!! Thank you for everything!!!
Thank you so much for popping up on my for-you page. I didnt know who you were before watching you know what. This video is making me feel more confident. I can control my self, ill try to belive in that, and quit it. I have social anxiety and i do this because it makes me feel happy but it may seem like if feel so good. But its making you start it even more. Im going to try to stop watching it, and if i have the urge i will do everything in my power that i can do to stop. I have control over my body, i cant give up the whole world and just die being guilty of doing this. Im going to stop today. No matter how hard it is. Thank you so much dude. You just gave me A LOT of courage to stop. Thank you.
In no way did i see this cringe at all, maybe thats because i find it extremely valuable. Something you said was that maybe it doesn’t affect their lives as much, i promise, it does. Porn is just bad for you no matter what and it will always be. People who dont think so are just like i used to be, in denial. Now I’ve accepted this is wrong. You’ve hit every single point bro, video gave me chills. Thanks for being the person who could come out and talk about this, it takes a lot. I promise your friends wont think you’re cringe or weird because they probably value this video too. People who do think you’re cringe, are mad because they dont want to accept that porn is bad for them but its not you who they are mad at. Cheers bro thank you truly from every man or even women out there.
The reason why I really want to stop is because I want to have kids 1 day and if I keep doing it that dream will be gone forever im 15 and I'm guessing there's a lot the same age come on, bro we can do it.🙏
I love that bro, I’ve heard that having a kid is the best thing you can ever experience in this life, so use that as fuel man, become the best father you possible can be, and it all starts before fatherhood ❤️
