To every man out there who’s struggling hear this.
We shouldn’t be chasing cheap pleasure. Anything that drains our dopamine, our confidence, and our energy is not worth it. Porn is one of the biggest killers of a man’s drive, discipline, and self respect. Some people try to justify masturbation without porn, but in truth, it still reinforces the same cycle chasing instant gratification instead of earning real, fulfilling experiences. Pleasure should be a delicacy, something earned through growth, effort, and self-mastery not something handed out for nothing. I’m not perfect. But after 11 days on this journey, I’ve noticed something even though some days are hard, my energy is higher, my mind is clearer, and I don’t feel that weight of guilt and dirt that I used to. You will start to feel stronger. More alive. More focused. And you’ll begin to respect the pleasure that comes from real connection, real discipline, and real wins. This path isn’t easy but it’s worth it. I promise you, the version of yourself waiting on the other side is powerful beyond words.
This is a huge motivation for a lot of us going through this process. All gotta back each other!
