There’s definitely a media focus on the impacts of porn on guys (compared to girls), perhaps because the effects are more visible in every day life, or can lead to more prolific issues, such as incel culture or misogyny. Imo there should be greater awareness of the issue across everyone as the first step in fixing it is identifying it.

We have got it! Just gotta take each challenge as it comes and remind yourself that you can do it.

(replying to danny) yes girls struggles with porn too, a lot more than you realise. I started masturbating when i was a literal kid and was exposed to porn at 15 (which was where the addiction got worse). I think women's porn are a little more different than the kind of porn man usually watch though

(replying to codey) mm thats true... i like the way you think, like if i can overcome this extreme stress moments, its basically easier for me to beat everything else. And I feel assured that im not the only one that struggles with coping with stress through porn. Hoping we can all overcome this together! WE GOT THISSS

wait girls got this problem too

I can imagine periods being a tough hurdle with all it’s effects, that must be very difficult to manage. My workload alone (and associated stress) is a big trigger for me, which in turn gets me further behind my work and it’s just a downward spiral. I guess there’s two sides to it, first It can be an upward spiral if keeping away from porn helps to get back on-top of your work, which in turn reduces the stress levels. Alternatively it can be like a challenge, if you can resist through the higher stress moments, it will be a big achievement and theoretically improve your self belief when it comes to smaller challenges.

but yea... I'll keep fighting of course... it just feels really sucky rn

(replying to Kafi) honestly, i already feel like I have memory loss, I was exposed to nudes at a really young age so masturbation was something I was doing before i even knew what it was... Which is one of the reasons why I wanna overcome this. My mom already has dementia and I'm still in uni. It feels so tough both for her and our family....

(replying to codey) I think the trigger was my workload AND period. Like the way period messed up my mental, emotional and physical state all at one go really sucks man cus I was actually doing so well b4 this demonic fountain blood started coming out of me😭

So we are like slaves, and we have to continuously get up and recognize the problem and fight.

I have same problem, stress and nerves, it's like smoking cigarettes. You know that it's fcking bad for your body but you mindlessly continue until something bad happens, like lung involvement. In Porn and Lust you are overstimulating yourr brain which can cause for example dementia in older age.

What was the specific trigger? Just stress?
