What is Porn Addiction and How to Quit it?


"Addiction is the disease that makes you too selfish to see the havoc you created or care about the people whose lives you have shattered.”

Anonymous

Porn is “Pleasuring On Regressed Nonsense,” said one porn addict and the other addict said that porn is “The Pursuit Of Pleasure in Pixels”. But whatever you think porn is, one thing is for sure, that Porn is a parasite. It steals your life from you, it feeds off your time and potential to grow and be what you truly can be. It gradually destroys your time, dignity, self-esteem and potential. It has a kind of negative hypnotic effect, that is, it grabs and then keeps your focus of attention locked until you wake up from the porn trance feeling empty, worthless, exhausted and miserable, your self-esteem destroyed.

Porn and masturbation are a deadly duo. They can ruin your physical, mental, and spiritual life. They have ruined marriages, careers and lives of hundreds and thousands of people who were not aware of how dangerous they can be, and if you are reading this blog, probably, you might have already experienced some of their negative effects.

Feelings of boredom, insecurity, and loneliness or even just having the opportunity can all result in porn addiction. These feelings can easily start to become automatically anchored to and then associated with using porn. So, you might be using porn as a way of numbing or escaping certain feelings and situations or to take the edge off the stress and tensions in your life. But porn is a parasite, it never has and never will deliver what it promises, because the more you view it, the more you want to view it and the more extreme the pornography that you will seek out.

You might have made efforts to control it, you may go for days, weeks or even months without using porn and then almost without knowing it you are back into it again, you might have fooled yourself thinking that you are not really hooked, or that you will just view porn for few minutes but then you were entranced again by the porn and hours went past and you woke up from the porn trance feeling empty, worthless, exhausted and miserable, filled with self-disgust and your self-esteem destroyed.

So, to completely get rid of your porn addiction, what is required is the elimination of the need for porn and not suppression. Suppression of the porn cravings is not the eradication of this habit. You can never be free of that which is suppressed. The suppressed porn cravings will attack you again and again and will produce withdrawing symptoms, wet dreams, irritability and restlessness of mind. You know how this world is crazy about “everything sex”, everywhere there are porn triggers, everything is sexualized, you just cannot run away from this world where everything has been sexualized.

Hence, repression or suppression of the porn cravings will not help you much. If they are suppressed, they will again manifest with even stronger force when a suitable opportunity arises, when the will becomes weak, when your motivation wanes, when there is slackening in your desire to quit porn, when you become weak owing to an attack of disease, stress or anxiety. Do not try to run away from porn, if you do, it will then chase you terribly on every corner. All these cravings, the desire to watch porn is in the mind. If the mind is subdued, what can these external triggers and porn cravings do?

So, what is wanted is a judicious control of your mind. The mind should not be allowed to run riot in sensual grooves. It should not be allowed to throw us ruthlessly into the deep pit of porn and masturbation. And this blog will give you more than 45 techniques to get control over your mind and your addiction.

The techniques which we are discussing are taken from the book "30 ROADS AWAY FROM PORN - More than 30 Real Techniques to Quit Porn".

Porn addiction and Medical Science

“A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.” Muhammad Ali There’s an old saying in the teaching world: “ Tell them what you’re going to tell them. Then tell them. And then tell them what you told them .” And so, as you move through this blog, you’ll probably notice much repetition of thoughts and ideas, because we usually learn best through repetition. There are few things in this blog which are not scientifically proven yet and when you come across them, you will have two options to choose from. Try those things and prove their effectiveness for yourself. Or, wait until there is scientific proof for their effectiveness before you try them. But be aware, if you go for the second option, you would have to wait for a few decades before the scientific world catches up with the lived experience   of porn addicts. And it would be too late for you.  Always remember that science will always lag behind the lived experience. The case with every new

Porn Addiction As a Three-Part Loop

 " We shape our tools and afterward our tools shape us." Marshall McLuhan   The life of a porn addict can be thought of as a three-part loop which he goes through repeatedly.  This loop consists of three phases - the Relapse, the Reboot, and the Retreat. The Relapse or phase one is when he goes back to his old ways of watching porn from a successful streak, the Reboot or phase two is when he is away from porn on a successful streak for any amount of time, and the Retreat or phase three is when the porn cravings hit him hard and he slowly moves back towards phase one or the Relapse. The porn addict behaves differently in each one of these phases.  During phase one when he relapses, he is full of guilt and shame. During this phase, he has every reason to quit porn and every reason why porn is bad for him. He is full of motivation to quit porn and to get his life back on track. He will delete his porn collection, gets porn filters for his phone and PC, decides to exercise, medit

The Golden Key #3 to Quit Porn Addiction - CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE

“Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” Vince Lombardi People wrongly believe that “ Practice makes a man perfect ”, but they never stop to think that it's a half-truth and the reality is that “ Only perfect practice makes a man perfect. '' But in the case of Porn addicts, even that belief does not hold good. Because “ Only perfect practice of the perfect thing makes a man perfect. '' Porn addicts try to quit porn for a few days and relapse, they start again and do the same things they did at the start and fail again. They think that if they practice quitting porn enough times, they will succeed eventually. But alas! that is not the case. To learn juggling, you need to practice. But if you practice the wrong technique, you are heading towards failure. To master juggling, you need to practice the right technique in the right way. If you keep practicing failure, you will learn to fail again and again and again. What I strongly believe is
