Pornography is stronger than heroin

You can never overcome an addiction to porn on your own. Whatever you do, don’t think that repressing it is the same as being cured of it. You need God! Pornography is really stupid if you think about it, but this not to suggest that it’s an easy habit to break. Instead of repressing your desires, let them surface as they may, but struggle not to give into them because this form of lust is truly stupid.

I’m convinced that the urge of porn is based on classical conditioning; just as Pavlov’s dogs would salivate to the sound of a bell, we get sexually aroused by viewing other people having sex. It’s the perverted working of concupiscence. Why are men so aroused by women’s breast when they have no sexual value to the male, although they may have some sexual value to the female? I’m a retired research psychologist, and I’m baffled by this most powerful phenomena! Breasts are for nourishing infants, but not for sexual pleasure.

Sex in pornography is really quite boring if you look at it in the right light, and your sexual reflex has been satisfied through the sexual arousal it causes, or through the grace of God!

Sex plays an important role in societies today, and I suspect that the motivation to work, through a psychoanalytic process called “sublimation,” Would suffer greatly, and this goes for sports as well.

If a person were to actually be in the room while it was being filmed he’d probably feel different about viewing poor than he does seeing the finished product. What I mean is the sense of shame about participating in something you know is wrong would be greater seeing porn being created. You’d more likely see the humanity of the performers.

This makes me wonder if imagining yourself being in the room would actually help a man stop using porn. However, that would seem problematic, or potentially, since we normally can’t do something wrong even for a good purpose. I would think you’d need to be very careful about what you actually imagine if such a technique were actually helpful.
 
For me, self discipline, avoidance of temptation and prayer are everything. What I have to accept is that it is never over, it will never, ever be over until I’m too old to be tempted anymore. Or I’m six feet under. Even marriage may not help if I marry the wrong person.
 
Even if you marry the right person 🙂 There has to be professional help as with any addiction 👍
((for those with a real addiction of p)

I don’t have an addiction. That said, it’s only because I work at it.
 
Marriage helped ME with my porn addiction, altho
it ended up as a platonic relationship, some time
after my wife passed away, I was back into porn.
