What's Really Wrong With Pornography? 

I’ve never heard it described this way before.... but what you have said makes so much sense. Thank you for your wisdom

Thank you, Manis!!! I've always struggled with pornography, and when you said it's because when a man is afraid to deal with real people, he resorts to porn, I was able to relate. I, unfortunately, don't do well with people. But I am improving myself.

The clarity and wisdom that’s presented is certainly something needed in the world.

B"H Learning from Rav Friedman these 43 years Thank G-d, the lessons are always unique , unlike others and dig at the core. Always leading to joyful and positive actions in daily life of humans.

This is the deepest explanation I've ever heard on this subject! Amazing!

Absolutely brilliant and the best explanation on what’s wrong with pornography I have ever heard.

May the children all keep their robe of innocence and purity!

It's a poor substitute for having a real relationship with a thinking, breathing person. More virtual reality.

Wow that is very insightful. “The eye is capable of seeing things but not seeing people... there’s no one else involved. Just the things you’re seeing.” Pornography has created a serious sickness in the men who watch it, disturbing how they approach women and sex. This is particularly true of the younger generations who got their sexual education and programming through porn. I’m not sure if it’s reversible at this point.

EVERYTHING ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY IS WRONG. SINCE THE 50'S AND 60'S PHYSCOLOGIST HAVE RECOMMENDED PORNOGRAPHY AND SAY ITS OK......NOW WE HAVE THEIR CREATED FINANCIAL EMPIRE & ADDICTION FOR THEM TO TREAT.

Baruk Hashem. Todah Rabba my Rabbi for this insightful and liberating truths. My people need to hear this like yesterday!

Salaam, I am Muslim and this is the best insight I heard about the effect of pornograph.

Something that is not widely spoken about, but should be: pornography eventually causes inability to have have real sexual relations. I tried to post something about this on a social media platform recently and I cannot tell you how quickly it was taken down.

Pornography is dehumanizing not only to those involved in the act, filming it, selling it, showing it and watching it. Not all of the participants are consenting adults either but nobody wants to talk about that.

Men need to be able to feel more like men for the health of society, the family and more which you address so well. Thank you.

God bless you, Rabbi, for this timely and timeless message.

Profound clear and excellent lekture Thank you very much Sir

Its been a month I stopped watching it , and last night i was thinking of whats wrong in watching it and this morning i got a sound explanation for it ... Thanks a lot ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Rabbi, I appreciate your videos & for taking the time to deliver the message.

Love your wisdom Rabbi. Thank you for sharing on you tube. Wish I had found your channel sooner. God bless you!

So true... great 👍🏻 message. God bless Shalom ❤️

Distortion of Reality in pornography and " Real Life" timely teaching thank you very much.

Rabbi, you are a cool intellectual. God ordained you as man of the word.

YO RU-vid algorithm is doing its magic. I'm not even jewish and ended up here somehow, I suffer a massive porn addiction and this TEDtalk was pretty interesting. I'm not into the "provider to feel like a man" mindset but the objectifying/dehumanizing/emasculative parts of pornography I can only agree on. Peace

Soloman had 700 wives an 300+ concubines. Objectification was going on a long time before TV. Feel like it's more about concoring than anything else. Some have to conconcor businesses, some Cities, some countries. Some have to concor women's hearts. It's more about seeking adoration. Been the object these lady's want. Vanity and ego. Saying men are givers reduces us to slaves. Men kept on low wages can't give and provide. This emasculates men more than porn I would say. Problem with porn is that you can get a physical reward/payoff without applying yourself an doing any work to earn it. When men realise they can have infinite pleasure without earning it. They are robbed of motivation. Problem with porn and casual sex culture is you can be consumed by hedonistic tenancies and forget to contribute.

Dehumanizing and getting excited on visuals. This is frustration . Thanks for the wisdom ❤

"...Love not the world neither the things of the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him; the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world." He helped this poor old man understand better this NT bible verse. Thank you Manis

Tku Rabbi this is my second video I've seen from you and am learning more about my manhood.Although I had a father he was not the affectioned and mentor I needed growing up which I needed.

I am a Christian and understand the both the separation and connection between the old and New Testaments but I am also Jewish Spiritualy and I am now a congregational follower of you and so thankful for you I was watching your video on humbleness and that is one of the reasons why I like you you’re humility and even though we have different roles in Gods perfect plane including the fact that He new what satan was going to do but satan did it and new better but God had His plan from the beginning at the end we will be fighting together when we and our wonderful savior take back what is ours Shalom Rabbi Manis Friedman let us work together also a definition of Shalom and decided and pray we understand clearly what is coming and how we need to plan and pray and decide I am going to be a witness and stay during the tribulation if I am still alive I have cancer but nothing is impossible for our God and maybe He is calling me home but I am ready and grown Spiritually but I hope I make there are a lot of people who will need to know what is going on and especially the Genetic Jews and as my brothers and sisters I will gladly give my life to help them understand and strengthen them and encourage them they will still be saved all of Israel will be saved i also want to be in the millennium God bless us all Love you Rabbi in God

I could feel what you was saying. Idk how else to say it. Your videos have opened my eyes beyond my eyes.

This man is teaching me how to be a man. Im greatful for his contributions to the world.

Thanx rabbi..world Needs more insight into musculine psyche

Thank you so much Rabbi. If a non Jew is interested in learning about Judaism what books would you recommend him to read. At least recommend three books. If any one wants to respond to this question please feel free to do so.

Thank you Rabi

Todah Rabah, Rabbi !!

Rabbi.... praising our God..... thank you for sharing.... love you from India.....you look dull... take care of your health.... keep up sharing the secrets....

You have awesome advicé.. Thank you

Thank you Rabbi

Don’t look. It is wrong and has done some serious damage to family. It has distorted the perception men have of women and what women perceive men want. Yes it is the terrible emasculator.

Rabbi, I love your raiment, God has clothed you well and may he bless your ministry

Excellent teaching, thank you 👌

Oh yeah thanks for better understanding on how visual addictions work harder on men

Too right sadly like others I'm struggling with my addictions

Bless you

WELL.... It seems king David's bit of 'pornographic' lust didn't make him more of a man. Instead, it made him less of a king.

Love your channel brother sending love to you all xx

Thankyou rabbi, God bless Israel! Shalom 🇮🇱

Absolutely amazing! Thank you. I had a question though. These days we truly need less and less. How can men be men and provide when technology and society are out pacing us in every field ?

Wisdom !

Yeah. I'm generally in agreement. I watch every once in a while. Not much, though. I have a relatively low libido. I HAVE seen various studies that suggest that Men who watch frequently develop difficulties in becoming aroused. Much of them have to resort to Viagra, and often that doesn't even work. Mind you, were talking about 'frequent watchers' here. I'm quite Liberal in ideology. I boeve people should be able to do what they want so long as their not hurting anyone. That being said, I do believe that for most people, The Industry 'promises alot, but it cannot deliver'. These days, it's very common to hear people espouce the notion that Pornography is very 'empowering for women'. I surmise that it COULD BE for some, but I believe that The Industry causes the girls more harm than good. I know a girl who works in The Industry. Prior to her working in The Industry she had some rather serious issues. Anorexia and Depression primarily. I don't know her very well, but I don't think her profession is 'helping'. If something 'Big' happens, she'll enjoy the temporary Dopamine Rush, but that only lasts so long, and then she's invariably 'back to (excuse my language) feeling like shit'. I think she's become addicted to the 'Attention', though. I know better than most, that when you're constantly 'chasing a hit of Dopamine or Seratonin, etc. by any means whether it be through 'Praise', 'Drugs', 'Gambling'... whatever. You will never be Truly Content. All the best! Shalom!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Thank you Rabbi🌺

I had your email you sent me to but I got a call and missed it I hope you send it to me again cause some of this is so in-depth that some of the young might get confused or have problems and we don’t want that it’s hard enough to learn Gods language and understand but we all got to do it but before you start into the opposite sides of Gods plan to save everybody you first need to learn your religion extremely well weather you are a Christian or a genetic Jew you start in your own part and learn it well and then start learning the other half

Love this

Very good explanation

Thanks rabbi

Amen and Amen!

Let's hope live and learn works here.

Thank you from Afghanistan.

Rabbi thank you ..I agree with your points

The true love of one another, not to objectify people.

G-d Bless you Rabbi the thing you said are thru.

This is wisdom

If only we could find out which group owns the pornography industry... Hmmmmmmm.......

Thank you!

Porno is a TWISTED VERSION of REAL passionate LOVE... satan took something beautiful and TWISTED it! DO NOT PARTAKE IN TWISTED VERSION...IT WILL ...R.O.B. YOU OF PERFECT LOVE❤

Rabbi Friedmann......how do you feel about women's lust for romance novels/ soap operas???

I am so glad I stayed away from porn my whole life. I feel and always felt repelled. I saw some ads pop up here and there, that s enough to understand where it goes. I am a very sensual person though. But, Eroticism is something totally different from porn. Just my feeling. I am grateful I did not get all these pictures of others " in me" . I think natural eroticism is a beautiful thing

Thankyou

Hi ser A knom where is theye box mossa

This is transcendant

Gary Wilson author of YourBrainOnPorn just passed away. He has made a big contribution in exposing the destructive forces of porn

Exactly!

Spot on 😥😥😥🙏⚖🌏💖

May YAH AL SHADDAI bless you!

Thank you so much. I now see

Is sleeping around with women or using women for sex just as destructive for men?

This is real talk

Why are almost all pornographers from the thirteenth tribe of small hats?

"You see things" That took me out lol Good video tho...shalome

You're a philosopher much more than Rabbi

thank you

It's not just men...

BRILLIANT

Please put this on your Instagram so That i can make an Instagram story about this video

Excelente!!👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant

When will the industries destroying people start paying up? Like maybe a big tax or something? Not that it would probably help but pay up somehow ? Why don’t y’all do something about it ?

sometimes i wonder if others are real while acknowledging that happens to me is real.

See beyond the Illusion of this life??How??

this teachiing is amazin

A GREAT RABBI

Wow.

Instructed by "Our Father" to place this message on your platform. You've been following the progression with varying degrees of skepticism for quite a while now, but you're listening. The last "Proper Message" is as follows: The Father in Heaven is not a duality. He's tired. His son is a fine man who will take office in the "instant" of spiritual transfer. Those to whom he has been speaking are sad that they can never be in his actual physical presence, but he has just, this minute, explained why. You know why because it is scripturally available for your scholarship. His "Natural" son's wife was drawn from the Divine Family by the Phenomenal Being ~ she has no mother. She did not come from the womb of a mother. She has a father ~ Our Father in Heaven. Please explain where the emasculation lies in this truth.

My boyfriend of 4 years is addicted to pornography on a daily and we hardly ever have sex or intimate in any way 😮😢,he said that pornography is easier and he does not have to do anything apart from watching ( and possibly masturbating lol),so this is affecting my relationship and my sekf esteem 😢,he prefers strangers over me and yet he wants to keep the relationship,but I am on my way out ... I cannot live without any physical attention,sorry. 😢

❤

I have learned in my life that pornography even gets you bored

Yeahhhhhhhhhh

If this video won't stop people watching pornography nothing will.

Nothing
