I first was exposed to porn through soft core instagram models when I was about 8 years old and then when I was about 11 I was exposed to pornography. Around 8th grade to freshman year of high school I began watching pornography daily and only when I was about 16 was when I realized that it was negatively affecting me. Porn has become so normalized in society, I had not even realized that it was a problem to consume that type of content. I’m 21 now and it has been my crutch whenever I feel anxious, depressed or bored. With that being said, because of my frequent use I am more anxious, depressed and bored than if I never saw it in the first place. I am going to completely rewire my brain and it starts today.
You can do it. Lots of us can tell similar stories. Your brain wants the easy way out. Get comfortable with those feelings and you won’t need it. It takes practice but you’ll get there.
