Why is porn bad for you?

porn is not bad. addiction is.
masturbating a few times in a week is okay, but once you start to dedicate all your daily time to porn, then it becomes a problem.

I also experience clear images of recent porn ingestion behind my eyelids. However this is common for any sensory information in my brain, especially visual and auditory, and sometimes tactile. Smell is already being stimulated 24/6 and taste is a minor sense imo.

This. When you fap to porn you need more and more of the most disgusting and underground porn, so you'll eventually get to a point where you'll be fapping to BBC Joi just like I did today, and if you have intrusive thoughts whatever it is you've seen will come back to haunt you in the ass. It fucks up your brain.

Yeah, whatever it is that your brain fucking registers will stay in with you. If you read and watch nice quality movies and good stuff, then you'll have good thoughts. But if you literally watch girls sucking cocks all the fucking time and those filthy fucking porn ads then your brain will be just registering a shitton of crap. And if you have intrusive thoughts and pure OCD you will be straight disturbed and feel like shit, like that porn you watched is haunting you.

>actually believing this meme
How can you even run of dopamine like just eat more

Do you has OCD as well? I went through about 4 years of intense obsessions and compulsions but before that and now it's just light symptoms like obsession with purity and doing things so i "dont miss out" (end up not even enjoying it because its a compulsion lol) or not touching certain sticky things (not cum) etc etc i could think of more but the main one i notice now is that if i'm writing something and i feel like i haven't conveyed myself in the most illuminating and "honest" way then i have lots of anxiety and feel like an npc fake
but anyway it's odd that feelings of ALMOST reaching perfection like you can sense it and then you are distracted to something else to do for this perfection................. or just distracted never reaching perfection. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
also i experience compulsive selection of images to attach to this post

Gonna be 100% honest and real with you. I found porn at a very young age, like 8 or 9. Ever since, I've been addicted to watching it and fapping. I do it every day, multiple times a day. It consumes my time. All day long, I either look at images of naked women or I fap to porn. Not only is it time wasting and mentally unhealthy, it makes you view women in a negative way. I can't interact with them socially and I view women as only sexual objects and don't really care for much else. You just get corrupted and just think about sex all the time and don't view women as an individual, you just view them just like the women on the screen you've been watching for years. And then you expect them to act like and look like the women in porn, when the women that star in porn don't even look like that in real life. That's with tons of makeup and editing and camera tricks.

So it makes you view women as sexual objects, which for me was a bad thing because I would think about sex with them and then act like an introvert loser because I'm shy. But the other negative thing is that as a guy, you see the guys in porn and how they all have huge dicks, mostly look good, and are muscular and can fuck for hours and make her feel pleasure in the video. And then you compare yourself to the guys in porn and start to seriously feel inadequate and feel bad about yourself because you know you could never be able to make a woman feel great like the guys do in porn. You see that your dick is half their size and that you look nothing like them. You start to feel like women wouldn't find you attractive or could be pleased by you, so you start to become self-conscious and shy even more away from women because of it.

A lot of incels are incels because of porn and how it makes you view and interact with women and how you view and feel about yourself. The penis size thing is a huge hang up for a lot of guys because of porn but also because now women are coming out and saying size matters.

My OCD is not that of germs (except about the food and the forks/knife I use) but of thoughts. Had this ever since I was a kid. When I was a teen I had blasphemous religious and sexual thoughts that'd disturb the shit out of me but I never had the courage to tell anyone and it disturbed me day and night. I've had these all my life but as I've grown out of religion blasphemous thoughts stopped but sexual ones remained, so much so that after watching porn those images will keep coming back to bite me in the ass. They are really troublesome desu and make me feel like shit.

>don't fap for 18 days
>fap
>literally feels the same as before

Bullshit, you'd be more sensitive and would cum more and easier.

have you tried just watching them without any emotional attachment? think of yourself like a man floating out in space sitting in a chair just watching.... maybe with your favorite food or drink if you get hungry or thirsty

literally happened 25 minutes ago
came in 4 minutes as usual and it didn't feel especially good

it is possible to reach this level of genital abuse,
i once went no fap for a month and came and felt like i was just peeing in spurts (LMFAO)
Next fap though was like a divine blessing

>think of yourself like a man floating out in space sitting in a chair just watching
That sounds like it's just give me dissociation lmao. What I'm saying is that watching porn as a person with strong Pure OCD is pure hell. All your thoughts and all your focus will be on that which you're seeing and you won't think of anything else. It starts to really disturb you and make you feel uneasy. I'm not exaggerating. It's the worst thing for my mental health and I've been trying to deny this but I can't do it anymore. It's the truth, this shit is rotting my brain. I only do it because it's addictive as hell, and when I go on a porn binge all my thoughts are focused on what I'm watching it's like it makes me forget the whole world even exists. Afterwards I'll feel like my whole prefrintal cortex just turned off and I won't be able to forget whatever disgusting shit I watched due to my OCD. It just keeps coming back again and again over and over. I have to stop watching this crap at any cost.

How long did you wait in between the release fap and the next fap?

tell that to the druggie retards who desensitized themselves emotionally

the point is to dissociate ya dingo, maybe if you can watch the images without being rattle tat tattled about them then they will lessen in their intensity,
that and dont watch porn again
it's that easy, you've listed in detail the harmful effects,
but sometimes it is the hardest thing ever NOT to do something
and you get sweet juicy gainz from nofap btw, its no maymay, u herd it here for the thousandth time

Yes. Stop watching for about 90 days, your dopamine receptors will start coming back, they'll respond to less stimulation (pretty girls, nice smells, vitamin D, etc), you'll be able to get an erection with a real girl, you won't live in a porn obsessed haze. Unfortunately, when you open the door of fetishism, it'll never close, but you can avoid that room alogether. Getting off porn won't rid you of your fetishes, you won't suddenly find girls eating shit to be disgusting if that's what you've fapped to all your life, but it'll be easier to not think about it.

it might have been anywhere from the next day to a few days to a week (was last september-october), i really just lost sexual interest in general , like the physical effects and energy comes from abstaining from the fap for a while but intellectually (lmfao) i have no interest in pictures of titties

I did 30+ days and still got images of porn in my mind all the time.
This shit really worries me.

porn is a business, those giant penises are probably enhanced in some sort of way

I have fap literally with the most disturbing porn ever. But i still get a boner with my girlfriend.

30 is not 90 though.

Good for you. I can binge drink all day and not touch alcohol again for another year, unfortunately alcoholism is still a problem for many people.

Can i just fap from my mind?

No. Your fantasies are probably inspired by porn you've watched so it's no different than watching porn. After the 90 days are over, you can fap from your imagination but during the 90 days, no.

do you know that not by not fapping your sperm can rot and lead to having a testicle removed

Yes,but the prohibition is not the solution

I doubt at that point there would be a difference I was already sensitive to any lewd shit but still had certain porn flases on my head.

idk if this is true but
>what are wet dreams

It's as bad as any shortcut for pleasure that ends up being unproductive

I never said it was. What are you talking about? If you're addicted to something, avoiding it is absolutely the solution but prohibition and ruining it for everyone else is not.

You failed to do the whole 90 days so who knows

People think porn and masturbation always have to go together. You realize quitting porn doesn't mean you have to quit masturbation as well? Just fap like guys did before high speed internet porn. Use your noggin and dream up some hot fantasies.

That's pretty cool when you put it that way.

>tfw no sexually haunted gf

Soo porn is not the problem, the problem is the irresponsability of it consume

they don't even happen to me. although maybe that's because i'm circumcised.

probly because you eject your semen regularly so it never swells enough that your brain is forced to live a sex scene (Btw which is 10x more fulfilling than any porn- youre actually having sex, dream or not) to empty your loooooooadddddd

I was desensitized long before I was a druggie.

I have a lot of difficulty to stop watching porn, but this time I'll do my best and do nofap.

>Watch porn almost every day
>normally semen just dribbles out lukewarm when I cum
>go away to New York visiting cousins where I can't fap or watch porn
>come home
>masturbate to thought of cousin who on wasn't wearing underwear with pajama pants that had a hole in them. I didn't see anything though.
>HOT STICKY SEMEN FROM DEEP INSIDE IN BIG GOBS

There is no cure, it's bullshit. If dopamine receptors are damaged then you lose them forever. And anything that can be said about porn can be said about anything that releases dopamine then. Video games? Out of the question. Music while you're driving? Wouldn't want to hurt your brain would you? Better not turn on that air conditioning, the dopamine you'll get from feeling cool will fuck you up.

Clown. It's not dopamine itself that is the issue, it's the fact that you're letting your brain sit and marinate in an unnatural amount of dopamine for a really long time.

i think the lens with which you perceive nofap is also important,
many people say
>DO nofap
But in reality, you are not doing anything. All it takes is the resistance of the habit, desu I dont even think of nofap when I get horny, I just think of how badass it would be to accomplish my fantasies and also think about my past sex times (BUT NOT MASTURBATE)
DESU i've gotten to the point where fapping just feeling like peeing in spurts lololololol and it only hurts me, the 1 second pleasure is not even worth it anymore, its feels so much cleaner and exciting to live without beating my fucking dick off every other day like a spazzing monkey LMFAO

Attached: 1554151914890.jpg (900x900, 107K)

Yeah so that takes out music, air conditioning and video games since those all can deliver medium to large amounts of dopamine consistently for a long time.
Not to mention that if you are fucked up, you're fucked up permanently, dopamine neurons don't grow back and when they do, they grow back all fucked up and don't work right.

desu it would be worth it to cut out passive music consumption, makes the music so much more sweeter when you do hear it, especially when it's being performed by an actual person not a computer

Listening to music and feeling cold air release less, weaker dopamine since they're natural. Sex releases the same amount of dopamine as porn but your refractory period and soreness keeps you from going too long. Porn is unnatural stimuli, comparable to drugs. Also, music and AC are passive. You don't sit for hours, intently listening to music and do nothing else. You don't miss out on real life because you just had to listen to binge on this new album. But you can do that with porn. You can also do it with video games, those can be addicting. Food as well.

does hentai have the same effect as porn?

rewiring your brain to get off to cartoons, plus youre fapping so decreased energy naturally

It's like doing drugs for pleasure, it's a form of instant gratification without any sort of effort to better oneself as well as the problems associated with the industry.

What these people need are GABA receptor drugs so they won't feel the need to seek out pleasure as much, and NDRI and SSRI drugs to strengthen the few dopamine and serotonin receptors they have left.

Then once they're at a baseline of non-major depression, they can attempt to do a dopamine fast (no screens that aren't work, no comforts, no activities) for a year and they MIGHT be able to get past their depression.

>giving a fuck about being productive

Because your gf gets pissy when you watch it cos she's jealous.

came here to post this. porn is basically virtual meth

You dumbass, the reason porn is so much worse than those others is because it elevates your dopamine levels far more than the rest

For a lot of reasons, but these are the main ones.
youtu.be/-Z5iANEfQUU
If your attention span is too fucked for this try the 11 minute Ted Talk.

It inflates your standard of beauty and makes it harder for you to find a girl you're willing to date

Because it's an easy way out of an admittedly difficult problem.
Because it's not something you're proud of doing. Reduces your self-respect.
Because, just like celebrity worship, you become obsessed with the elite and can't feel satisfied with someone normal like you.
Because the quick reward it depicts is not indicative of how reality works, and it trains you that intimate relationships aren't something that require a long courting period to establish (trust, feelings, respect.)
Because it treats people like linear sexual objects, when we actually are complex sophisticated beings who feel deprived when all of our aspects aren't treated with consideration.
Because if you abstain, your desire will build up and your eyes will have a spark and your step will have a skip that women instinctively recognize.

I quit porn over a year ago and haven't started again. Turning point was when I went to work so tired after self-abusing that I disappointed everyone who knew me and expected so much of me. When I got home, I angrily deleted the gigabytes of finely selected porn I had collected. This has never been a regret. I am proud of my past self for having set me up for success.

I'm now trying to quit masturbation itself, which is admittedly against impossibility, but my record is two months and I just keep fighting my demons.

But have you even got laid since?

I was a virgin before and I remain so, but I've had more colorful interaction with women and have gotten "the look" more than once, but I never act on it. The list of reasons I choose not to is very long and I have existential issues I'm struggling with (like how our bodies are randomly assigned and then we go on to select people like pieces of meat while they return the favor).

Other reasons for avoiding women:
-Being scrawny for life. Can't respect myself and don't see myself as a wholesome man.
-Don't like disturbing my perfect routine: work hours, sleep hours, very restrictive diet.
-Obsessed with a life-changing surgery, and feel like I would be settling if I got a gf now, or that I would have to cruelly dump her one day.
-Hate casual sex with all my mind and soul, and want someone I can respect.
-Not having a car and having to live in a room where I have little control and an unstable large black roommate who keeps touching me despite reporting him to the landlady twice. Again, I don't feel like an independent individual who can invite somoene into their life.

But I HAVE promised myself to force myself to go on my 1st date this year. It was one of my resolutions and already 4 months have passed, but I was waiting for warmer weather.

But it DOES give me more energy, it REALLY REALLY does!! And women start getting more and more interesting the longer you hold it in. After a few weeks, I even talk to older women with a flirty tone. One of them crush hugged me with her big boobs. That was torture because she's one of my bosses and I would never spoil that relationship.

Porn isn't bad for you, but angry roasties and political nutjobs will say it is because it makes us feel good.
