Thank you for fighting the good fight ma'am, I wish more young men could be watching this
Yes. And, actually men of all ages.
60 million dildoes sold every year.
50 Shades of Grey a best seller.
It is time to help the billions of women frigging themselves out there!
Dr. Leigh, this has been a game changer for me. I can't tell you how much you have helped me ❤️
Thanks for this. I needed this today.
Crazy thing is that I feel horrible when I go back to the screen, and I feel fantastic when I'm productive and on purpose. Yet somehow the screen becomes more compelling. It makes me furious.
Men def respect women like her for helping us get back on a track

Thanks Trish ima be here next week
Really great content! And I really appreciate how you are able to provide sincere input without condemnation or criticism - that takes effort and intentionality, I have no doubt. Compassion and connection are huge aspects of the solution for many.
Thanks for helping me out Dr Trish, I don’t have anyone in my life to keep me accountable so I will continue to comment on your videos as you’ve helped me and many. The longest I had gone was for about 2 weeks, I had a slip up and for a while I was PMOing about 1-2 times a week, now it became an everyday thing again causing me to relapse. For the first time in forever I PMO’ed at my workplace and after I realized I need to start watching you daily again even if it’s the same vids/shorts. I’m also going to stop keeping count and reflect every 20 days. I’m excited about this journey/process!
I find it beautiful in itself the fact that there are people like you devoted to help others with this. Everytime Ive relasped the seriousness of the situation increases 10 fold. Mean while all this time youre wondering why your life feels the way it does. You know deep down the porn is definitely not helping. It just feels good. Helps the time pass. But the guilt and shame and want to change builds up overtime and then its just too much. After you seek for help and find people like you everything comes full circle and explains itself. Its been preventing you from everything all along.
Thank God I found youu❤u're saving my life
Thank you.
Day 338 no porn, no masterbation, no ejaculation 🫡
How old ru
Im 29 been watching since i was 12, and i am on my first damn day of recovery ( like my 20th attempt) and i will say my porn viewing is soo bad, ive been watching alll kinds of stuff that is just destroying my brain. The things i view are extreme fetishes, racial porn, supremacy porn, transgender porn, gay porn, and i know this is nothing that i am and like but with porn is crazy to just go into. Sometimes i binge on it 20 times a day, i love that your channel is still here and growing, i just need help. Im unmotivated to be successful, to work, to Earn more money, just to be myself and strong, i just recent had a newborn and i want to be helathy for my child and not feel weak and useless. My porn use is so bad that when i get my finish it literally feels like my brian explodes in pure bliss, i can feel my brain just exploding is pleasure and it gets worse and worse and i really dont want this anymore
You are not alone! I'm 28 and I'm in my 10th day free of porn today :) you can do this!
@@arielmorningstar3399 I haven't Gove 10 days in over 10 years, I need to do this I am so sick and tired of going to porn for relief and all it brings is more pain and me doing absolutely anything in my life! Thank you and I hope you never go back either!!!
23 and suffering from exactly the same case but add PIED as well.
@@the1stmetalhead what is PIED, but yeah it's crazy how porn has led me down a path of watching things that just 5 years ago I never even wanted to see, my morals are always out the window when watching these crazy fetishes, and I go about my life just thinking I'm a hypocrite because I become weak and watch these things. It's disgusting. I'm not into transgenders but watch porn of it, I don't like racial things but wast interracial stuff, I personally am not gay but watch it. And every single time I finish my viewing I just think to myself how much of a failure I am and how upset I am with myself
@@soultaker0469 porn induced erectile dysfunction. That means your penis only get hard watching pixels on the screen and normal girls in real life don't do it for you anymore.
Bro, ditto. I have watched cuck, bully, sissy, trans, hotwife, cheating, incest, BBC and all sorts of fucked up porn. And cannot move on at all. I have tried leaving but keep relapsing again and again. I wasn't like this 3 years ago. But now, this is the only stuff that I can think of. I have lost everything. My career, health, mental peace, relationship, friends, confidence, self esteem. I wanna go to a therapist but my broke ass won't let me. Also it's so difficult to talk to other human beings about this like your parents or friends because porn addiction is stigmatised and you're seen as some sort of pervert. Whereas alcohol and drug addicts have full on treatment centres. And are supported through their recovery. You can say I'm 90 days sober as an alcohol addict and people will praise you for it. But if you say you're 90 days off porn. People laugh at you. And call you weirdo. Saying who counts their days for not jerking off.
And this has also led me to doubting my sexuality. I don't find guys IRL attractive at all. But 12+ black dicks especially on ladyboys get me aroused and I know it's something that I don't want but I can't seem to control it. I force myself to get aroused by normal girls but my body's dopamine receptors are beyond destroyed at this level. And anything vanilla just isn't arousing even in the slightest.
The sad thing is even after all this time people will say porn is healthy for you. And it doesn't cause any harm.
Thank you so much doc for help us ❤️ 🙏 I've been struggling with this addiction for almost nine years now and I'm starting my second Month of nofap now!! Thanks you so much ,long way too freedom ✊ hey!!
Thank U drTrish !! spot on comments & analysis !!
Great!!
I'm so happy to see videos like this, thank you for your service to our Humanity.
Thank you soo much lov and love and love
Thanks for making these videos! 😌
Thank you Trish. Two years ago I realized I had a big problem and needed to change my life. It was very challenging and I found your words and channel to help the most. I´m somewhat on the other side (as in i´m actually interested in my girlfriend). Life is more satisfying. I learned a lot of other things along the way too.
I have had a high sex drive all of my life and had no problem finding partners who enjoyed sex as much as myself. No need for porn. I got married 10 years ago and as an INFJ allowed myself to fall into the trap of sacrificing my sex life to help her (frigid) with her emotional problems. Fast forward........I have been alone the last 7 years. No dates. No bed partners. No kisses, hugs, I love yous. No affection (verbal or physical) at all. Nothing. I have created my own little world and don't go out at all. I can't imagine being with anyone anymore. My sex drive is off the charts and have gone from one self release porn video a week to now 8-9 times per week. I am highly sensitive to visual stimulation and all it takes is seeing a woman in revealing dress to have my button pushed. my libido goes thru the roof. Porn is my only outlet. I am in a downward spiral.
Thx❤❤❤
❤❤❤ym live you dr trisch soo much
Thank you for these videos it can’t be easy with all these gawbage brains around and all the ego comments thrown at you . I made an appointment in Oct . Fingers crossed 🤞
Well I have ADD, OCD, depression, manic hypersexuality, general anxiety, dysfunctional sleep pattern, single, long term unemployed, live alone, unresolved anger towards parents etc.
A huge recipe mix for addictive tendencies including porn etc.
Already on day 26. I almost return to hell but I choose not to.
Does this headband also help with amygdala and Ptsd?
Thank you very much, dr Trish, for your words, because they help me recover from this addiction 🙏♥️
I don't care anymore, but asking for myself 30 years ago, how can I get a Sexual Porsche at my doorstep without working for it? How does one earn a sexual Porsche ... even if I'm prepared to work for it?
Ever since watching your videos, and now and then gone back to the screen when the discipline was low... the enjoyment of it all has been sabotaged LOL. The logical part of me is interfering with the once blissful ignorance I once enjoyed.
I will be hopping on the $50 program here soon with the headband to start re-calibrating.
You are in shape.like it 🌹
office work life IS BORING in itself!!! IT IS A REALITY I HAD TO DO NO EFFORT TO FEEL. that is real.
what if one cannot afford the head band?
And I have old injuries everywhere lol. Exercise can actually help pain. When I am running 10 miles on the treadmill every time at about 2.5 miles I get the "runners high" and feel like I am running on air and the shin splint pain etc goes away completely. I haven't ran that far in a long time but I would love to be that conditioned again just for basic life. That cup of coffee ☕ must've kicked in. I quit for months and probably will again. It kinda defeats the purpose of increasing nitric oxide if our vessels shrink so much from caffeine. Just thinking out loud. Have a nice day everyone.
All I’m gonna say is, that must be one hell of a shed if it’s gonna take my man 90 days to build it. 😂
What brought you to this channel, me I was fed up with fake sex and self help sex.
Hi and thank you for your videos! Can porn use and masturbation affect cognition and memory? I've been having a lot of issues with remembering, being able to think of words, and processing information. I'm desperate for help, can you please suggest anything?
Yes it absolutely can and does. Start a first thing in the morning habit of prayer, or if you’re against that for some odd reason, meditation. 30 minutes minimum. I guarantee it will work for you if you are diligent and believe in it. Personally I recommend prayer or reading scripture like the psalms, but I’ve been told meditation may work for the non believers out there. God bless, or good luck. Your choice.
I've been experiencing this lately which makes menses because my porn use makes my head just feel like a pure pleasure explosion that I can't think of nothing else! And I try to talk to people and stuff and just sound stupid, and sex is literally on my mind 24/7
@@soultaker0469 yeah I'll be stopping ASAP it's not worth my health! Good luck to u in ur journey!
@@jared0379 thank you! I'm going to need it, good luck to you too 🙏🏽
@@soultaker0469 thank you!
Up from a Jaguar is an Aston Martin, but I digress. . . 😎
Yesterday I was so sad I needed something to feel good......I went to the screen. I'm angry with myself because it didn't make anything better.
know its a month later but sorry to hear. how have things been lately?
@user-uv3ii1vr2g I thank God almighty that things got so much better. I've stayed out of the screen. I deleted all social media apps except FB, but on it I unfollowed pages that posted sexual content. It's like I can breathe again.
@@Niqueman1989 so good to hear. praying for your continued and spiritual discernment
@user-uv3ii1vr2g Thank you. I want God to give us all freedom from porn /lust. We just have to rely on Him.
I'm not good enough for women so porn is all I have. And how do we know what is actually healthy sexuality
I'm dealing with the same thing. I imagine having some action with someone is probably good for you...Like better than just pmo... But pmo is all we got lol
Porn is not good! I'm telling you I've been viewing porn since I was 12... I'm 29 now and I can say my porn viewing and making me watch things I'd never thought I'd watch( nothing illegal) just crazy weird fetishes.... and my orgasms feel like my brain is exploding in pure utter bliss to the point where it literally feels like I'm damaging my brain, WHATEVER YOU THINK, DONT EVER THING YOUR NOT GOOD ENOIGH FOR WOMEN!!! Porn is not the answer I'm on day fucking 1 and this is my 20th attempt I wish, I WISH!!!! I never say or watched porn ever!!!!!!!
Porn is amazing. In fact, it's better than sex.
Notice what you're saying. It's all you have. Like any drug, it becomes all consuming. You're addicted to the dopamine reaction. It will grow worse and more perverse over time, and you'll waste your life because of it.
Escorts and I've seen ugliest dudes with decent girls. Depends how much work you wanna put in. Escorts are better😂
How do she know show much, I wonder if she had an addiction before, I always questioned how these therapist were so accurate without having experienced for themselves.
Textbooks and other people's experiences. She is a professional and has clients who had a serious addiction to self help
I have never gotten a proper answer to this question, so can someone help me out? The question is , is it normal to never masturbate? What is the actual goal of quitting porn?
no.masturbate whenever you need to.
Thanks mom❤
I'm very grateful for your videos..
have a pretty descent dns blocker that working well and its free. simple to use and it has various levels of site blocking the minimum being porn.
What is the difference between a brain map and a brain scan?
My brain scan identified a brain tumor
@@adrianhaynes5506 but did the brain map show you where the treasure was buried?
Thanks to your video.
I have stopped porn for more than a year and counting.
Sitting down in front of a screen and hitting the easy button, also programs the users brain to expect sex on demand…from the humans you are interacting with. Big problem - humans are human. They are not computers…sitting idle, waiting to be instructed to perform a task. Humans are not going to be receptive to being interrupted and expected to stop what they are doing…and be in compliant ‘instant sex mode’…just because the other person is needing a dopamine fix. The human partner begins to be seen as being difficult…or accused of being ‘cold’, because they are not as instantly compliant as the screen’s porn sites. The porn users learned blending of screen and actual human, creates all kinds of problems within the human relationship. And the porn addict blames the human partner for the disconnect…rather than seeing their own porn use as the culprit. An impossible situation to endure…for either side.
Very well said! 👏
I do wish these videos existed when I was younger but hey, better late than ever.
Morning don't take us to court and take our assest, 2 porn don't smear our name all over social media and 3, can't get STDs from porn
👍👍👍👍
Hello. Can PMO cause psychosis? I experienced psychosis for the first time in my life around the same time I discovered p when I was 13, I quickly became highly addicted but the symptoms subsided a bit over time As the years passed I became increasingly more anxious and the nail which hit the head was marijuana- ever since then till this day I have severe paranoia which often borders on delusion the likes of which I hadn’t experienced much of prior to smoking and using p
Please help me rewire my brain all the stuff that you are saying is so true ! I have a beautiful wife and she loves sex as much or even more than me but I still believe what you say is true about my brain being high jacked I started this problem many years ago when I was a young teenager by looking at my dad’s old playboys and I didn’t realize that it has just been growing over the last thirty years to the point I’m at now you were right the past couple months I hit rock bottom I was watching pornography and I had to go to things that so outlandishly bad like even gay stuff to get aroused this is a real problem and I need help I love my wife and don’t want anything to happen between us and I’m afraid to tell her my problems hopefully I can fix myself with your help Thanks for the great videos
As a wife that recently caught my husband "in the act" and HAD NO IDEA it has DESTROYED ME and possibly our marriage. I tell him everyday that it would be so much better had he came forward vs me catching him. I knew something wasn't right in our marriage due to our sex life, but I didn't know what. Now reflecting back it's evident. As a betrayed partner, I feel (and have discovered this by speaking with other partners too) that if yiy get help and confess... it's easier to rebuild trust. Kudos to you for being on this site and seeking help.
From a female POV let me tell you something: we KNOW and FEEL that something is going on. We can feel that our husband's sexual energy is drained and directed to somewhere else. Call it a gut feeling, but it is true. As a wife, I was deeply hurt when I discovered porn on my husband's phone. I knew he was hiding it from me. Only when I confronted him he admitted it. I would prefer him to take a step of courage and honestly tell me what was going on instead of discovering it myself. That ruined my image about him and rooted trust issues. It is an emotional hell for me. He said he now wants to quit this habit and restore my trust in him. It is not going to be easy, but we needed that honest talk to each other. Good thing that you are not denying you have an issue with pornography use. Take action now, or eventually it will ruin your marriage. I'm sure your wife will support you in your decision to become a better husband, who wants to be sober from that dangerous drug. Good luck
Thank you so much it is good to hear that from the wife side of this awful problem I do need to have a deep talk with my wife on a good note I am on a clean streak 6 days a feeling good about it 🙏
🥀
I don't know how to join the program doctor I just think sometimes I need to have a lot of intimacy with many women that is the only think who's going to take me from the screen for good .
That's something more turn on to me I will enjoy it definitely more than just looking at the screen I feel like everything in me says that's what I need
I’m quitting porn for the first time in a while. Wondering if masturbating to my imagination/past sexual experiences is alright? Or should I cut that out altogether
Cut it out all together! Fantasy can have the same effect as porn
Still masturbat every now again though if you haven't got a partner.. its healthy to get some blood going to it still let it know what it's there for!.. so even if you have to use your emagination or porn aslong as its not all the time ain't a bad thing really! Research has even shown a little bit of porn can also raise Testosterone levels by up to around 10%... I find I need to masturbate atleast once every week and a half ideally no longer to keep everything "moving" since injecting Testosterone a few years ago! keeps everything healthy and still working!...
What you are saying about porn being unhealthy for the brain makes total sense but I have a question. Do you think visiting escorts is also unhealthy?
1. You once said that casual sex is fine as long there is connection between people. I’m not using escorts to fulfill fantasies but rather have (beside sex) mutually respectful and playful time (flirting, humor, connection).
2. Escorting isn’t illegal in my country and I’m assuming they aren’t trafficked (they run the business on their own in their own place).
3. I know that you say that it’s unhealthy to get things fast and easy but I feel I’m aromantic and it’s a really long process to find a woman who also likes casual dating (although I managed to do it several times and those were nice episodes). But they are a minority as opposed to those who want a long term relationship. A simple transaction of two adult people just seems fair to me. Also I already know the importance of perseverance and strong will (I train a lot, keep a healthy diet, do sports, read books regularly etc.).
It's been years since I've had a relationship, but I think the point is healthy sexuality is between two individuals with that connection. Escorts and such is like assisted masturbation and won't be as good as healthy relations. Even though an escort is a real person, the connection isn't real thereofore - easy button.
I think that if there is flirting, smiling, looking in each other eyes, sometimes even kissing than there IS connection. I don't think we can call it masturbation when the sex is passionate and both people are trying to make it a memorable experience and please each other. Many times I just FELT the connection: her smile, laughter after my joke, her pleasure and embrace etc. @@CGTraderYT
Always go with Sex with Connection a.k.a gf, fiance, wife.
I think Escort in away is also porn but with a physical side of things but still missing the connection. Maybe if controlled fine, but it still can lead to addiction a.k.a spamming escorts like an addiction.
Dr. I wish i could stop this easily. I go awhile without it but end up back. One reason is i don't get enough from my wife like i would want. What can i do
I don’t understand cause when women want sex it’s empowering but men take another route and it’s still a problem
I'm on day 14 of nofap and feeling like my 'member' is completely dead... and I have no libido, at all. What do I do?
That is not a problem. Pmo addiction is the real problem and is just a little piece on the surface. That is what I'm understanding on my day 26. This is not going to resolve your life but is a start. Libido and all the things you are talking about are tiny stuff compared to the huge damage pmo does to life.
Do those kegels 🤷♂️
i do agree with the stress issue
$800 a month for the brain trainer ?!😵💫 what’s it like to have $800/mo of disposable income??
You tube creators discuss porn from the psychological side of the viewer but who is talking about the performers psychologiical aspects. Is it a issue of gender because no one wants to admitt that its mostly women who they come to see. What came first the chicken or the egg.The performer or the viewer.
I have been adicted to masturbation and porn for the the last 60 years can i be rehabilated or is to late, god bless you Trish
Why do men who masturbate too much, have that deep feeling of fear in their heart, which makes them have the following features. 1. Being relatively coward. 2. Avoiding escalations, like escalating situations, by all means. 3. Avoiding anything that would result in a physical situation or a fight. 4. Being much less likely to make maintain a family. 5. Being very introverted and more likely to be socially isolated, 6. Being much more likely to be silent and not fight for one their rights. 7. Having a specific degree of social anxiety. What is the explanation of all that, hormonally? Is it prolactin? Another point is that there is an anecdotal consensus that when doing semen retention for about one month all of these symptoms start gradually disappearing, why is that? Pls. answer.
It's all about low levels of testosterone
Trish, you know I find you more valuable to me than just your content. How long have I stayed with you? But I am not allowed to verify any of your claims through your followers? From those who have put their penises aside in looking for a better life? Why am I not allowed to do that?
I know where there is a cheap Plymouth Acclaim for your son... 1994 I think...
Lol how do you get these oxytocin as a single guy tho
I might be a little different, I'm not a watch porn guy but love in person watching, it is very fulfilling for me and not fake as so much porn is ,its just can't just go watch someone doing it ,it takes a little detective work but worth it for my pleasure anyway
Does porn increase sexual repression?
I think we are treating a symptom rather than the cause here.
Porn is bad, i dont disagree but what we should ask ourselves, is WHY porn use has exploded and is continually growing. Smart men are avoiding women because of multiple reasons that are manifest these days but they still need relief and reprieve that orgasm brings even if romantic relationships are no longer a option.
Now ask yourself why over half of men have decided that even passing relationships are a bad idea, let alone long term romantic ones. Look for the root cause, it's deep and might require some soul searching on your part.
Why...if my parents were rich,... i,d expect a Porsche after my Jag. Mum listen... its 2023. All girls have nasty tatts fake tatas and my hot Mum buys her boy a cool car..
Well, let's be clear, it's not men who have been inadvertently set-up, it's WOMEN and FEMINISM which has created this "problem". As a 48 year old man, a user of porn for 35+ years, I can honestly say, if girls had've shown the way, and/or, not rejected one all through high school, and then even later on... perhaps porn would not be so delectable. Why girls would not want to be the dopamine for a guy's boredom / anxiety is beyond me.
They say that sex relieves stress, when, in reality, trying to get sex is more stressful. Pornography actually works two-fold. 1) It alleviates so much in a man's life (as you poignantly stated in your post, and oh, what a relief that it is!!), 2) It's become a political tool to reject women and make THEM obsolete. Like, seriously, if only women and sex could provide such comparable high levels of dopamine!! haha (but they can't!!)
Women / feminists have not only sabotaged men, but also themselves. Why a woman in 2023 would not want to be the reason to calm a man down and to stimulate him is extremely offensive (if not misanthropic). IF ONLY women could be mood regulators! (which I realize is an oxymoron in and of itself! ). Geez, if only a man could learn how to (legally) objectify a woman. You mean that a man is supposed to gain pleasure from a gender that are monsters? Men are supposed to assign a value to a thing we're supposed to "respect" and NOT enjoy??
See, porn never does that. Porn never messes with your head like how women do. Porn never rejects you. Porn never plays games. Porn never has a headache. Porn never uses you to advance itself like women do. Porn is amazing. IF ONLY women could be like porn. IF ONLY.... *sigh* Clearly, the only reason you want to assign a pejorative or a "problem" to porn, is so that YOU can make money off of men via counselling sessions or head band tools for $1,000!!!!!! Then, in time, like every woman, you will do an about face in 20 years, and sue us for paying you money. Why pay you for help when we could easily pay prostitutes? Oh, right, because we DON'T have jobs because we DON'T qualify for affirmative action, so we have NO MONEY, so we get stressed and anxious and depressed and bored, feeling superfluous, so we then revert to porn! Ahh... It really makes perfect sense.
Thus, the ONLY way to fix this female-created "problem" that feminists have set up, is to cull feminism wholesale. Remove it from the narrative. Then, start conscripting sex. Perhaps even "Rape Schools", teaching men how to objectify women. I'd suggest drafting every prostitute and woman who ever falsely accused males of rape (that didn't happen but they wanted for it to). Allow the women to teach men how to screw and how babies are made. I'd also totally outlaw abortion fully. I'd ban IUD's and condoms. I'd make rape legal, and then, and only then, would men no longer require the novelty of porn, because WOMEN then can be of use and destress men. But I know that NONE of this will ever happen. So... until there is a reversal in all this LGBTQRs propaganda and we cancel #metoo nonsense, porn will be the GO TO for every man alive. Thank GOD that PORN exists!! You silly, naive, overly entitled emancipated toxic privileged females have totally and truly screwed up the Western World. Congratulations to a job well done.
Peace.
Wow! How'd your mom hurt u?
