I do suffer from it and can back up that claim that porn is very addicting. The main problem is causes is a distorted view of the world. If you are watching porn constantly, you tend to think of everything in a sexual manner and you think everyone thinks of sex as much as you do (which is not that case at all). Another problem is that when you go from porn video to porn video, you are living in a cycle of sexual trauma. They might be different porn videos but it’s all the same thing. Your life becomes circled around the actions you see in porn, how the people act, talk to eachother in the videos, treat eachother. Porn is a rabbit hole in of itself, just not the rabbit hole you want to go down. And I know because I am suffering from it currently. I have bad PTSD and often use porn to escape and am currently trying to break that pattern as we speak.
There are some legitimate points there. You do start to think of most things in a sexual context when you use it a lot; however, it is incredibly obvious that it is becoming a little less normal to be less sexual because at this point, almost everyone I meet is, to some extent, "enslaved" by that mindset.
However, it's a multifaceted problem. It's not just porn. We live in a world dominated by instant gratification. We grow up with it, and we become part of it.
To point at a turning point in video gaming mainstream for example, there were a lot of discussions about this when Call of Duty 4 hit its stride. Numbers everywhere, going fast and hard every direction, airstrikes, helicopters called in.
We talked a lot about how kids were growing up with this sort of instant gratification, and you can see it in the further growth of the Call of Duty franchise and the direction it took.
Additionally, mobile games with micro (and not so micro) transactions dominate a very large market, preying on kids and teenagers as well as full grown adults at this point with constant gambling.
Loot boxes. Vibrant and often silly colors. Weapon camos with pot leaves.
Television is much the same. Entertainment media.
Simpler days of a slow burning card or board game, a new JRPG named Chrono Trigger or a leisurely bicycle ride with no real goal seems to be gone in the every day world for a very large portion of entire continents.
Also, in the past there were specific ways boys and men would express their masculinity (wrestling, getting the big kill on the hunt, etc.). Many of those methods have been removed by modern life, and I believe many boys and men turn to porn, video games, alcohol, etc. as a way to express their masculinity. I say this as a dude who once was addicted to video games.
I admit, I can't wait to go back to video games (raising a strong willed puppy is basically a full time job that doesn't end on weekends or 5 o'clock as it turns out) but as I get older and see the games that are coming out, I am more appreciative of slower burn games.
I am a personal fan of the trucking sims (American Truck, Eurotruck, and to a lesser extent Snowrunner) as well as Elite Dangerous because they take time to get things done, and I don't have to rush to get them done. I can go at my own pace and relax. Other games have their place, but I find I can't do games like CoD for longer periods of time anymore because I don't even get those dopamine hits anymore, since I can see just how ridiculous it has gotten.
You are likely on to something about expressing our masculinity through porn use though. It's true that hunting is prevented in many areas, restricted in others and socially looked down upon in others still.
For other stuff, well... From the start, what makes us unique is pretty much destroyed now. This current generation is growing up / grew up with participation trophies for everything they did. They aren't encouraged to stand up and make an effort to let their unique skills / talent / work ethics shine anymore. That has to have a lasting effect on their psyche.
We are so worried about being accused of X/Y/Z that we don't say anything potentially offensive, which has a two-fold effect in that it makes people more callous towards the subject of offense, and it makes people fear saying something stupid and having a learning experience.
A lot of time gets substituted for things like porn or drug use, and then to top it all off, boys are told they can't be masculine, girls are getting a very twisted and contradicting series of expectations and privileges foisted upon them.
Socially, the world is in a really fucked up place. When you can't even tell a woman she's beautiful or pretty without someone -- often not even the one you're saying it to -- getting offended and causing problems.
I actually agree with your assessment here a lot. Porn isn't the only issue. You are correct it is a multi-faceted issue. Games including social media platforms are built to hijack our dopamine responses. They utilize our primal wiring as a means to form addictive patterns. We are constantly being conditioned everywhere.
Dopamine drips are good. But it's the constant dumps that are very damaging. Porn is one of the largest dumps a person can experience. It's like a dopamine flood.
I’m going to check out that Conquer Series that TrueAnon posted above. It is Christian based, 35/month for full access. It looks promising, but I asked TrueAnon for a testimonial as I can’t find any online.
Porn is such a slippery slope. I started looking at it since age 5 and been heavily addicted. I gave my heart to Christ about 4 months age which has helped a lot, however, the urges are still there from time to time and it is hard.
Everyone has this backwards. Porn is not a cause. Porn is an effect. Feminism ruined women. Without women to date/marry men turn to other sources to fulfill their primal desires. There will always be some of this type of stuff, but it is so prevalent today because the number of women removed from the dating pool by feminism is so insanely high it leaves millions of men with no good options. You think MGTOW exists because they like being alone and sad???
Yes pron has been weaponized against men, but that is just a furtherance of the root cause... FEMINISM.
Yep, porn is a sad replacement for the joy and excitement you should have in a good marriage. Once our marriage got fixed and the “feminism” was revealed and removed then I literally had no desire for porn. I got the connection and passion from my wife that I needed.
She had an internal attitude that she couldn’t be at fault, that of course I could be at fault. when it came down to accepting responsibility for any problems in our marriage she couldn’t grasp it. She was raised by a feminist mother, and those traits were passed down without her realizing it. When she started accepting responsibility for herself, and treating me like I mattered more than herself (the way I treat her) then it all fell into place almost overnight.
I find it personally amusing that feminism went from "let women vote" to "let women work" to "stop objectifying women" and we are currently at "let women be objectified".
To be clear, I am not one of those here who go against 1, 2 or even 3, but the hypocrisy of 4 makes me facepalm incredibly hard and takes the credibility of the others away.
Yeah, all this Marxist stuff tends to lead in big hypocritical circles like that. That's because the only way they can can thrive is on conflict and chaos. If the conflict dies down they have to create a new one. Inevitably conflict number 1 conflicts in some way with number 4 or 5 etc...
The important thing to remember... Marxists are just useful idiots being used by the cabal to stir the pot so we are caught up in that constant conflict. As long as we are fighting each other we aren't seeing them or fighting them. The cabal doesn't care who wins. They profit either way both financially and from the distraction.
A perfect example... study Star Wars. The cabal is Palpatine. He didn't really care who won The Clone War because he was controlling both sides. My hope is that Q will expose these people for real. Then we can focus on the real enemy for a few years and put them in their place.
I’m a woman and Bravo ! I’ve been speaking against feminism for years . The horror of the outdated term “woman’s lib “ many including the demon Gloria destroyed what God so beautifully created! I used to speak to hundreds, thousands of woman about this very issue! I still do in private practice! It has to start with the woman!
The irony to me is that in the end women have way more power than men. If women were powerless it wouldn't be so easy for them to wreck our entire society.
If woman could only understand how wonderful we had it ..the majority of men are non complicated , kind creatures , treat a man well and he’ll adore you ! Sex has been taken away from men and replaced with an imitation of what God so beautifully created ! Woman are, as a whole ; guilty for the destruction of the union that was set up by our creator ! Men are the head of that union , anything with two heads is a monster and rather than the continuous fight, most men have relinquished their authority to the woman and afterwards are still neglected by the woman who they were designed to protect and love ! Sex is the greatest key to keep the enemy away and keep the relationship strong and women have given that key to the devil and he has lead men into the prison of porn and locked the doors! it’s not easy to unlock a door without a key, however, you can kick that door down! The devil has taken everything beautiful and made an imitation that will never satisfy! Show me a good and happy marriage and I’ll show you a woman who knows how to treat a man and understands sexuality that she was gifted with is the glue that will hold her marriage together ! I’ll stop here but oh how I wish woman would wake up to the destruction they are causing ..God explains all of this in Proverbs! Woman are most definitely the destroyers , we have so much power and it’s been distorted and used against men instead of used to support men !
Have you done this? I would love o hear your testimony. It looks interesting and I could use a little help from my past behaviors that occasionally spring up.
Thanks! I need something structured and spiritual to get over it. 52 years old and have been viewing porn since I was 5. So happy that you are doing well.
Our bodies are temples of the Most High which contain the Holy Spirit, and we consume Christ Himself in the Eucharist and in doing so invite Christ and the Holy Spirit to consume us. We are the body of Christ and pornography masturbation sexual sin of all kinds is a violation of the Holy of Holies, the Temple of God, our very bodies he gave us to do His will for His glory to be in eternal union of live with Him who created us.
I have a theory that the guilt caused by killing your unborn child through a choice like abortion, keeps you from connecting with God and makes you a puppet for evil.
That’s an interesting theory. I would articulations it like this: sin is a trap, and the only way out of it is repentance. The trick is this: the deeper into sin you get, the less likely you are to want to repent due to shame, rationalization of the behavior, and the additional sins that result from the behavior when there is no repentance. Definition of sin: an act that separates you from God’s grace. Repentance always brings you back into God’s grace though thanks to the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus Christ.
There is literally a demon one side and an angel on the other, and whichever one you listen to most gets louder and drowns the other one out. That’s why the deeper you get, the harder it is to break free.
I was addicted to porn for most of my adult life until Jesus broke me free. Porn is extremely demonic and everybody already knows it, they are just in denial. Jesus said, If you look at a woman with lust you have already committed adultery with her in your heart. If you commit adultery with a woman, you become one flesh with her and partake of all of her spiritual baggage. All the girls come from abusive backgrounds or broken families, and you can see the demons in their eyes. They have to take massive amounts of drugs and alcohol to do their job and have any amount of reprieve from the demonic torment of their lives. Nobody who watches porn will make it into heaven, this is assured in the Word of GOD:
"For this you know, that no FORNICATOR, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the WRATH OF GOD comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them." Ephesians 5:5-7
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, SEXUALLY IMMORAL, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
Wow that is deep. And I must say that having three daughters helped get me off porn. When you are getting off to the plots in most porn videos these days while raising daughters, it just gets weird. If it doesn’t make you feel weird, then you have some soul-cleansing to do.
Porn is a tool that fulfills a desire which is a symptom of lust which is a symptom of evil which grows from a lack of purpose, a lack of hope, and a lack of faith.
No, not all vices are alike. Sexual vices, or better, passions, are crimes against the self. You are hurting your very soul with them. So, it's not like eating too much cake, which will make you fat. This is gluttony, which precedes lust in the soul. Gluttony is not really involved with hurting the soul, as sexual sins are. Pornography is a great evil. Satan is in charge of it as the ruler of the powers of the air. It's bad.
Well, I don't share your belief in the devil - I find human beings to be sufficiently evil on their own. I've no doubt that there are evil humans that produce porn through coercive methods.
Hell, sometimes I wonder if the tobacco I smoke was harvested by children under modern day slavery.
I don't think any vices are good you. But if you're going to have them, don't let them rule you.
As far as porn specifically, I spent too many years working in the photo industry. You can only see so much skin from the result of the general public's bedroom shenanigans before you eventually just don't care for naked people at all. Most people I know are icky and ugly in their birthday suits, and I know the adult actors are just in good lighting and airbrushed. Their then down and scrub of the makeup and put them in good lighting, and they're just as gross as the rest of humanity.
Sure, I find my wife beautiful, but that's about who she is, not about how her body looks (it looks fine by the way, but naked people still look stupid to me, like shaved apes).
satan was invented by people like you, with the help of church, centuries after christianity formed
so "christians" can find someone to blame for their sins
you hurting your soul with ignorance more than anything, porn would be healing in comparison
False. Porn has actual damaging neurological effects and is extremely detrimental to mental and emotional health. There is a lot if data and science on the subject - sounds like you have encountered none if it.
Pornography is equal to sex trafficking. There is NO possible way you know everyone involved wants to be there. It also warps your brain watching others fornicate, it’s not something anyone should support or condone in any way.
By this logic there's no possible way to know any actors want to be there on set. There's no way to know any employee wants to be there on the job site. Are we in the Rick and Morty episode where capitalism is just slavery with extra steps?
Most strippers are only dancing to support a drug addiction. A very small amount keep their head on their shoulders and do it for college tuition, however, they learn how to use and manipulate people for their advantage. I did a short stint of watching live webcams. I was fascinated at first, then I came to the realization that most hated what they were doing and some of them were being used as sex slaves against their will. They acted like they were voluntary models, but I could tell by their body language that they were not.
Most strippers are only dancing to support a drug addiction.
wrong, that's the tiny part
all of them have various reasons, and most of them like it
not to confuse sex work with dancing of course
and webcams? that's just your regular girls
All vices are not equal. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, with all due respect. Binging on cheeseburgers does not equate to a porn addiction.
True..watching porn doesn't make a person obese, lol.
I didn't mean to suggest all vices are the same,or affect people the danger... Just that, regardless of your vices, one shouldn't be controlled by them.
Idk... I suppose it depends on one's propensity toward addiction.
My wife and I both enjoy watching porn together once or twice a week. Sometimes we take the week off and still get jiggy wit it. It doesn't decide for us, we decide for it. We're parents of two small children and we simply want certain stimuli to help us escape reality every so often. It's actually quite fun. I'm not saying that simply because we seem to have a healthy relationship with porn that everyone can or should. But I am saying that because you don't or can't have a healthy relationship with porn, it doesn't mean that nobody else should consume it.
There's layers to it, just like with virtually everything else in life. Find someone you're exceptionally comfortable with and have fun. You can be a lady on the street and a freak in the sheets. It does exist.
Yeah, but it's an addiction and tends to become increasingly worse. Good for you if it doesn't affect you like that. No judgement. Still, better to stay away as much as possible.
No one would judge you about this.
Consider how your statements try to justify the activity as something outside your control. It is with in your control, even as it is difficult to resist.
How many of the people in the videos are victims of conditioning and how many are forced because of circumstances.
To view it is to enable it to continue in a small way. To view it is to allow yourself to be subject to manipulation and possibly conditioning yourself. To not view is literally removing a hook of the DS from your life.
Stand strong and do not give in to this filth that degrades you, the people in the video and those whom participate, willingly or not, in its creation.
By viewing this one is in danger of being hypocritical by saying they resist and oppose an evil element while at the same time partake of its drug.
It is true as is said every person in the videos is someone’s child/parent/sibling/spouse. When one consumes the videos they spread the filth and continue enabling the exploitation of the people that are trapped in this.
I'm not addicted. I dont have an addictive personality. I can go weeks and months without it. I just choose not to because I enjoy it. As I said above, much better than a real woman and relationship. Much more positive benefit to risk ratio.
We in the UK have been locked down practically all year. The Government explicitly banned sex for social distancing for fuck's sake, what do you guys want from me?
Remember. Porn is to sex what WWE is to martial arts. Empty, flashy spectacle. If you're married, be more intimate to your spouses. It's what God intended.
I stopped looking at porn when I experienced the awakening...both Jesus as my savior and the Q experience. I never thought I'd ever stop looking at porn. Now if I could get my husband too, that'd be great. He's awake but still checks out porn.
The verse for this human manipulation we've witnessed over this last year and even the last few decades:
Romans 6:16
16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
I openly admit I'm a complete addict to porn, and have been for about 12 years if I'm honest with myself. I've been actively trying to quit for a few years now with no meaningful success, as I can hardly go even a week without a relapse of some sort.
I'm despite to break free, and take back my willpower and mind from this evil, and adopt better and healthier habits and hobbies like guitar.
Get on your knees, fold your hands, close your eyes, and say God, forgive me, for I know not what I do! I have sinned against you and have offended against your purpose for my existence which you gave to me! Forgive me Lord and let your Holy Spirit guide me and free me from this evil enslavement!!!!!!
Get baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Go to confession with a priest! Receive the Eucharist! Every week at least for as long as you live! You will be free! Christ frees us if we allowHim to!
This is the modern day scourge of the earth.
Destroying people everywhere.
I do suffer from it and can back up that claim that porn is very addicting. The main problem is causes is a distorted view of the world. If you are watching porn constantly, you tend to think of everything in a sexual manner and you think everyone thinks of sex as much as you do (which is not that case at all). Another problem is that when you go from porn video to porn video, you are living in a cycle of sexual trauma. They might be different porn videos but it’s all the same thing. Your life becomes circled around the actions you see in porn, how the people act, talk to eachother in the videos, treat eachother. Porn is a rabbit hole in of itself, just not the rabbit hole you want to go down. And I know because I am suffering from it currently. I have bad PTSD and often use porn to escape and am currently trying to break that pattern as we speak.
There are some legitimate points there. You do start to think of most things in a sexual context when you use it a lot; however, it is incredibly obvious that it is becoming a little less normal to be less sexual because at this point, almost everyone I meet is, to some extent, "enslaved" by that mindset.

The full extent of liberalism leads to a lack of critical thought which manifests in hypocrisy. Quite obvious to the conservative observer.

Very true.
Have you done this? I would love o hear your testimony. It looks interesting and I could use a little help from my past behaviors that occasionally spring up.
Thanks! But aren’t these generic testimonials about porn & masterbation rather than the Conquer Series?
Thanks! I need something structured and spiritual to get over it. 52 years old and have been viewing porn since I was 5. So happy that you are doing well.
Thanks! I showed my wife their website and she is impressed as well.
water fasting will make you the healthiest.
along with the subject of this post, food is also addictive. we eat for every reason under the sun besides actual hunger.
Porn makes you feel guilty. Guilt keeps you disconnected from God.
So true. It's been the one roadblock in my relationship with Him my entire life. I quit a month ago and I feel like a new man.
it doesn’t just make you feel guilty
it makes you guilty

Wow that is deep. And I must say that having three daughters helped get me off porn. When you are getting off to the plots in most porn videos these days while raising daughters, it just gets weird. If it doesn’t make you feel weird, then you have some soul-cleansing to do.
There was certainly a rise in incest porn that's for sure.
And adapting the dialog to match.
They've used porn to push degeneracy for decades.
Of course, but it's made to attract and get people thinking about it. Causes a psychological effect
You fundamentalist Christians sure like to circle jerk for someone who is supposedly not degenerate.

Yea, but that was just a ploy to get out of his death sentence. Many professionals have stated that they believe most of that testimony was made up.
hearsay
more likely a ploy to get out of burning in hell forever (i.e. true repentance)
This is absolute truth. When all of your needs are met and you no longer have to earn anything, any sense of self worth is diminished.
Again, real men don't need porn.
It is worse, it destroys families, destroys relationships, gives people abnormal thoughts about sex and what sex should be.
Roger that. Dr. E. Michael Jones wrote a book about that.
Porn is a tool that fulfills a desire which is a symptom of lust which is a symptom of evil which grows from a lack of purpose, a lack of hope, and a lack of faith.
It’s not a tool, it is a trap.
A tool is a useful thing. Porn is only a tool for Satan.
Keeps me from pursuing any entanglements with women.
MGTOW is the way forward for men.
Find a nice Christian woman from Thailand. ?
So I have to devote time and resources to someone else?
Pornhub proves you don't get something for nothing.

Whatever works, but going to confession is the best medicine
(((who))) controls most of the world's porn? I wonder
The only porn I've seen in years was from Hunter Biden's laptop... where's Hunter?
My unpopular opinion:
Porn is a vice like any other.
Many of us have our vices (mine is nicotine).
Don't let your vices rule you.
You can be ruled by your vices, or you can indulge in them sparingly.
Best not to have them at all - but if you DO have them, moderation is key to staying happy and healthy.
No, not all vices are alike. Sexual vices, or better, passions, are crimes against the self. You are hurting your very soul with them. So, it's not like eating too much cake, which will make you fat. This is gluttony, which precedes lust in the soul. Gluttony is not really involved with hurting the soul, as sexual sins are. Pornography is a great evil. Satan is in charge of it as the ruler of the powers of the air. It's bad.
Well, I don't share your belief in the devil - I find human beings to be sufficiently evil on their own. I've no doubt that there are evil humans that produce porn through coercive methods.
Hell, sometimes I wonder if the tobacco I smoke was harvested by children under modern day slavery.
I don't think any vices are good you. But if you're going to have them, don't let them rule you.
As far as porn specifically, I spent too many years working in the photo industry. You can only see so much skin from the result of the general public's bedroom shenanigans before you eventually just don't care for naked people at all. Most people I know are icky and ugly in their birthday suits, and I know the adult actors are just in good lighting and airbrushed. Their then down and scrub of the makeup and put them in good lighting, and they're just as gross as the rest of humanity.
Sure, I find my wife beautiful, but that's about who she is, not about how her body looks (it looks fine by the way, but naked people still look stupid to me, like shaved apes).
true.
pornstars without makeup

satan was invented by people like you, with the help of church, centuries after christianity formed
so "christians" can find someone to blame for their sins
you hurting your soul with ignorance more than anything, porn would be healing in comparison
No comment. Never argue with a fool.
someone didn't read bible i see
don't worry, you are subject to great awakening as well
False. Porn has actual damaging neurological effects and is extremely detrimental to mental and emotional health. There is a lot if data and science on the subject - sounds like you have encountered none if it.
So does alimony.
Which is why you should keep sexual activity contained in a marriage and stay married and marry someone of sound mind and spirit
Tell that to Brendan Fraser.
Wrong. Porn is great educational tool, unless you doesn't have common sense.
and this data is on par with cnn broadcast
lol
Pornography is equal to sex trafficking. There is NO possible way you know everyone involved wants to be there. It also warps your brain watching others fornicate, it’s not something anyone should support or condone in any way.
By this logic there's no possible way to know any actors want to be there on set. There's no way to know any employee wants to be there on the job site. Are we in the Rick and Morty episode where capitalism is just slavery with extra steps?
Most strippers are only dancing to support a drug addiction. A very small amount keep their head on their shoulders and do it for college tuition, however, they learn how to use and manipulate people for their advantage. I did a short stint of watching live webcams. I was fascinated at first, then I came to the realization that most hated what they were doing and some of them were being used as sex slaves against their will. They acted like they were voluntary models, but I could tell by their body language that they were not.
wrong, that's the tiny part
all of them have various reasons, and most of them like it
not to confuse sex work with dancing of course
and webcams? that's just your regular girls
All vices are not equal. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, with all due respect. Binging on cheeseburgers does not equate to a porn addiction.
True..watching porn doesn't make a person obese, lol.
I didn't mean to suggest all vices are the same,or affect people the danger... Just that, regardless of your vices, one shouldn't be controlled by them.
Idk... I suppose it depends on one's propensity toward addiction.
My wife and I both enjoy watching porn together once or twice a week. Sometimes we take the week off and still get jiggy wit it. It doesn't decide for us, we decide for it. We're parents of two small children and we simply want certain stimuli to help us escape reality every so often. It's actually quite fun. I'm not saying that simply because we seem to have a healthy relationship with porn that everyone can or should. But I am saying that because you don't or can't have a healthy relationship with porn, it doesn't mean that nobody else should consume it.
There's layers to it, just like with virtually everything else in life. Find someone you're exceptionally comfortable with and have fun. You can be a lady on the street and a freak in the sheets. It does exist.
Maybe...but it's all I have goddang it!!
Seriously. We were all stuck in our homes for 12 months. What other choice did we have? Don't judge me.
What happened? Did you you break your spine? Why stuck inside for a year?
Yeah, but it's an addiction and tends to become increasingly worse. Good for you if it doesn't affect you like that. No judgement. Still, better to stay away as much as possible.
Agreed mate. I like a smoke. But I don't chain smoke. I could, very easily. But I don't. Since do, and can't stop.
I'm not addicted but I enjoy it. Like it far better than real women.
No risk of STDs or pregnancies, no unny boiler stalker exes, no aggro no arguments, no funky smells or pressure to perform etc.
Porn much better than a real woman and relationship.
Cheaper too!!!
No one would judge you about this. Consider how your statements try to justify the activity as something outside your control. It is with in your control, even as it is difficult to resist. How many of the people in the videos are victims of conditioning and how many are forced because of circumstances. To view it is to enable it to continue in a small way. To view it is to allow yourself to be subject to manipulation and possibly conditioning yourself. To not view is literally removing a hook of the DS from your life. Stand strong and do not give in to this filth that degrades you, the people in the video and those whom participate, willingly or not, in its creation. By viewing this one is in danger of being hypocritical by saying they resist and oppose an evil element while at the same time partake of its drug. It is true as is said every person in the videos is someone’s child/parent/sibling/spouse. When one consumes the videos they spread the filth and continue enabling the exploitation of the people that are trapped in this.
I'm not addicted. I dont have an addictive personality. I can go weeks and months without it. I just choose not to because I enjoy it. As I said above, much better than a real woman and relationship. Much more positive benefit to risk ratio.
We in the UK have been locked down practically all year. The Government explicitly banned sex for social distancing for fuck's sake, what do you guys want from me?
What?!?! 12 months? What was that about?
Lockdowns. In UK people were getting arrested for unnecessary trips and sitting on park benches. The Government banned sex due to social distancing.
There wasn't really much choice.
Jesus commanded his disciples to forgive sins
porn is disgusting
Informative video on the subject matter
Joseph Okechukwu
Remember. Porn is to sex what WWE is to martial arts. Empty, flashy spectacle. If you're married, be more intimate to your spouses. It's what God intended.
And the shackles are very hard to throw off...
I stopped looking at porn when I experienced the awakening...both Jesus as my savior and the Q experience. I never thought I'd ever stop looking at porn. Now if I could get my husband too, that'd be great. He's awake but still checks out porn.
Ummmm...are you my wife?
The verse for this human manipulation we've witnessed over this last year and even the last few decades: Romans 6:16 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
I openly admit I'm a complete addict to porn, and have been for about 12 years if I'm honest with myself. I've been actively trying to quit for a few years now with no meaningful success, as I can hardly go even a week without a relapse of some sort.
I'm despite to break free, and take back my willpower and mind from this evil, and adopt better and healthier habits and hobbies like guitar.
Get on your knees, fold your hands, close your eyes, and say God, forgive me, for I know not what I do! I have sinned against you and have offended against your purpose for my existence which you gave to me! Forgive me Lord and let your Holy Spirit guide me and free me from this evil enslavement!!!!!!
Get baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Go to confession with a priest! Receive the Eucharist! Every week at least for as long as you live! You will be free! Christ frees us if we allowHim to!
Women are the biggest promoters of porn. How many sites have women doing videos themselves? Tons.
Women are the biggest promoters of porn. PERIOD!
I struggle with this one I admit. I am better then I used to be but when I drink or smoke a lot I get on porn hub.
