I'm 20 years old. 9 years my addiction has been following me, I missed my second year at university because of it, unable to concentrate for more than an hour to revise, constantly looking for instant gratification, I'm miserable and I'm so sorry I fell into it, I'm angry at society because it destroys man, it makes us weak and docile, I'm done with this addiction I don't want to miss my twenties and I pray that I'll pull through I've relapsed so many times and started crying at times because I was paralyzed and frightened by my behavior.
Having discovered this channel, I understand my addiction better and it gives me hope. So thank you doctor!
I don’t know how to beat this addiction, but I hope all of us find the way.
I destroyed my whole 20's in this addiction I am addicted for 10 years Quit this shit as soon as possible otherwise it will destroy your whole life.
Do you work out?
Some unsolliceted advice from a stranger, things that worked for me is mainly rooted in research en knowledge. Make a list of how this addiction (works with any addiction) is ruining and has ruined your life. Then make an alternative list with things you want to accomplish or learn in the next coming years if your addiction doesn't get the better of you. It's not about struggling against the urge every hour of the day or doing a nofap and relapsing every 2 weeks. It's divine energy, it's so strong and almost seemingly impossible to overcome. Find interesting and satisfying things to do with your time. Ancient archives has some interesting advice and knowledge about what happens when you begin semen retention. Definitely worth checking out, if you want to learn more about the power of holding your seed. Also, you can get super healthy from not mastrubating. The benefits are actually insane. I think most young men underestimate how much this industry is ruining their overall health. Also, it requires honesty to stop. To tell the truth about it, to some people you can trust. Or even professional strangers like trish here online. Best of luck :)
@@sibusiso2841 No
it also causes memory loss and other things i cant remember
maybe lay off the porn if youre having trouble remembering
Exactly! It can make you mental even, in the long run.
hahahaahahahahahaha
Guys I'm on day 21 of strict no masturbation/no porn/no indulging in fantasy/no looking at escort websites or adult ads on craiglist-like websites, nor looking at bikini women on tiktok, instagram or 4chan (aka Light pornography) and I've started feeling the brainfog clearing, thank you for your videos Dr Leigh 🙏
Same man, im feeling so much better, even in sports.
Good effort 21 days🎉🎉 I mostly last 3 days
🙏
I'm so glad to hear it!
how do you release the sexual tension? Do you have regular sex now?
Let me just say this I was addicted to porn since I was 5 years old. I am free from this curse. ( I am now age 23) I prayed and kept praying. And the lord finally answered my prayers years later. I haven’t watched porn in a month and haven’t even wanted to look at it. Give your life to god and start committing. Life will change.
Keep it going! 💪
@@DrTrishLeigh I imagine some women and some girls inappropriately while toughing my private part in my life ever since somewhere in 2007 till now in 2024 and I am still imagining it because I saw an inappropriate commercial that didn't have sensor bar to cover up people's private parts, does this mean porn has already damaged my brain years ago?
I’m ready to begin my recovery since I realised this is not what I want to become in the future. Give me courage and Wish me luck everybody. 🙏🏾✌🏾
I havent looked at porn in over 4 years now. I prayed and asked for help. I heard HIM speak inside me when i was watching it the last time..."why are you making me watch this"? 😳
Pray and ask for help. You can stop.
68 days complete without porn 🔋 🏴 💪
🙌🙏✝️
Way to go. Keep going man. I’m encouraged
Keep goin
I love it! Keep rocking it out💪
Don't relapse
To overcome this, you need forgiveness, you need to forgive yourself and you need to accept forgiveness from Jesus Christ
Another excellent, informative video by Dr Trish. 18 months PMO free after too many years "in the screen", and I stlll use these videos to stay on track. They have brought me back from a very dark place.
Wise choices…🩷
Congrats and continued success!!
I'm so glad they've been able to help! Keep rocking it out 💪
I've said this before: Thank you for being such a blessing, a light in the darkness.
Thank you for those kind words my friend ❤️🩹
Thank you so much for this video. I got this video at the right time, and my little search found out that I have Brain Fog caused from loneliness and ended with memory loss issues. I'll try to join your program ASAP.
Your vids have been a big help though I’m only a week clean through your vids I find strength to stay focus. I feel my life improving thank you so much
I've been going to a scene from a movie for years when I'm ready to conclude Dr.Trish. I've had the mainstream film on VHS & DVD & never have tired of it for a quick fix. I've tried emulating the scene in relationships with no satisfaction. It has a hold on me. Thank You.
THANKS FOR SUCH VALUABLE CONTENT.
Thank you for the nice words! I'm happy to be of help
It seems like you bring up having a partner a lot. But what if I’m single and have been for a long time now. Seems more difficult to get rid of this when you have no other options
One of Dr Trish's key messages is that porn use keeps you isolated and you need to get out into the real world and meet real people, instead of relying on the fantasies peddled by the porn makers.
When you have a healthy mind and body you'll be surprised by what you can attract! Until you find a partner, it's a good chance to work on yourself!
@@DrTrishLeigh This might be the best advice you have ever given
But also you will be more relaxed if not overly focused on intimacy in a new relation, porn may help you in this case.
Yo my guys we are going to get rid of our addiction ❤

I love your work❤❤❤
I'm glad to hear it!
Thanks a lot 🤗
Going on 2months Porn free,
I can no Thank You enough Dr Trish Leigh, Porn is just as bad as alcohol and cocaine.
I love that! Keep it going!
❤ 💎❤️ you are so 😍 an amazing woman and highly intelligent.Thank you for the input and all your hard work 💞
Thank you for the kind words my friend!
Yet the flatline is even worse...pushing through that seems to be key.
You've got this! 💪
Is the best way to quit years of this addiction by stopping and getting a girlfriend asap? Then you have social and emotional connection etc in a healthy way which is therapeutic?
Definitely don't rush into anything you aren't ready for, but finding an emotional connection can be incredibly beneficial!
@@DrTrishLeigh in your experience with people, is this often what makes people stop?
I use it to compare myself and my skills to the other girls. Im always thinking well maybe if my bottom was big like that, maybe if my such and such looked flawless like that, maybe if i learned how to get on top like her. Then it turned into finding videos to escape from regular vanilla things altogether, just completely detach from normal expectations. I started watching bdsm and bondage, when that wasnt far enough i started watching even harder things. It got to the point where i was watching things that made the participants literally start bleeding on camera. Its out of control.
My addiction was so bad it cause me to almost step outside my relationship
That's something many porn addicts experience!
This is a nice channel for youngsters.please make a video on ocd and its relationship with porn or nude images.
so true
I heard that it can shrink the brain, my question is does that mean it can never be undone or that the gray matter can never be restored again? And does it decrease our IQ?
Am 21 years old and am on this journey, have stayed 17 days now without porn or masturbating, my wish is to completely stop and unwire my brain so that I can fully concentrate on school, please advise me cause am facing strong urges coming back 😢😢
You've got this! If you need extra help or support, I'm here! drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
You’re my new addiction, lovely Lady 🙏🫶
saver of male society
Read this as ‘DOES P cause brain fog” - then as, “P, does it cause brain fog” then more slowly and accurately. I’m foggy headed it seems
Every single word is accurate. Scary.
I see you everyday. please Bangla subtitle add🎉
I was in a relationship last summer and it lasted about 2 months but all that time I have completely forgotten about porn as if it did not exist. Now after the breakup unfortunately I did watch a few times but thankfully it was very few and it was sporadically.
I heard that it can shrink the brain, my question is does that mean it can never be undone or that the gray matter can never be restored again? And does it decrease our IQ?
I'm really worried about it
Yes same too did you get any answers
I don’t know what the answer is, but let’s say that the damage can be undone because brains are easily wired as they have a use it or lose it response I think. Let’s be positive and we will get better soon 😇😇
Does this include looking at women on Facebook and Instagram as well?
Yes!

I stared feeling the real difference around 6 weeks. I am diagnosed with dysthymia (Persistent Depressive Disorder) and anxiety but I am a lot more mindful of them now with help from my therapist. I was exposed to porn at age 9 and as an already anxious kid I think porn really stirred the pot in my brain. Anyway...i also smoked cigarettes for 20 years, and one day, a while after I quit, I realized how much healthier I had become without cigarettes. Being off the porn sauce for a while is the same feeling...you reaize, YOU CAN DO THIS!
To be honest, cross dressing and fantasizing about being a woman is kind of a back door to the same thing I think. One can easily convince oneself that this is not porn (because it doesn't seem to fit the normal mold) and the amount of shame it produces makes it hard to talk about. It leads to masturbation, distraction, and troubled relationships (esp. with women. hey, did you know about my secret?). Although a lesson is learned, so there may be value in that, but at some point it could be a waste of money too.
I heard we need at least 40 days to clear the addiction to back to normal. Is it true Dr ?
It’s depends on how bad your addiction is
It really depends on the person and their level of addiction!
I love you for the woman you are!!!❤❤
Thank you for the kind words my friend!
I was exposed to explicit porn at around age 7...had NO idea the damage it caused...it pretty much derailed my entire life...anxiety, depression, divorce, suicide attempts...
That's why I do what I do! To spread information and hopefully prevent future generations from becoming addicted
@PornBrainRewireDrTrishLeigh God Bless you Doc
It would've been awesome if I could've found this information when I was 13 years old, my life could have been so different.
That's why I do what I do! To spread information and hopefully prevent future generations from becoming addicted
@@DrTrishLeigh You are doing an Amazing job
Quitting porn and having no sex life sucks
sex life is important but it shouldn't be your idol or priority.
What if you supplement w shilajit ?
Im 6 days clear, Im trying to go the whole month of June porn free. It seems like some days are easier than others, but im still going strong.
That's a great goal! You've got this! If you need any extra help, I'm here ❤️🩹drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
After trying for so long , i bought myself a s3x doll\flashlight and i completely quit porn.
are these toys also damaging the brain ?
i notice that i have more energy more social life and no brain fog - the opposite when i was watch porn.
what do you think dr?
Man, that's not seems like a healthy way either(
That's great you've quit porn! However, I'd focus on trying to find a connection with a real-life person! They are out there waiting for you!

Hey ma'am, i m your fan from Pakistan, you are doing really a great job,,, I have sexual arousal dysfunction, when i met my girlfriend, i didn't get aroused sexually with my girlfriend, but i aroused at my peak from porn..... Can i recover from this, how much time needed to recover from this???
stop watching porn and masterbating in week 2 you will notice changes
hi doc i'm 21 years old and i was addicted to porn since i was 12. Currently i'm trying to do nofaps and thankfully i felt a little difference in my life. i got a question with my age can my brain still be saved?
Porn is for masturbation. Dr always neglect masturbation. Why??
Masturbation and porn often go hand in hand! It's best to avoid both
I lost my nofap streak watching this video 😢

The information in video alone should be enough to quit po,,n for good . Hope Po.n free for all mankind
What about no social and boring life. where does the dopamine come from
Go get one
Then it's time to make some new connections!
Rationally I understand it, but you need alternative strategies which are not even close to the pleasure of an orgasm. Very hard to quit
I don't watch porn etc. but I dream about it and it has the same effect as watching porn. It's a little hard for me to get rid of this because I can easily daydream in my head. But I decided to use the same methods you suggested to get rid of pornography. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and substitle 🌸. I will look at your website.
Definitely check out my programs! This is the hardest part about porn to overcome and may often require more support! drtrishleigh.com/brain-training/
I hope you realize that before your video played there was an ad that was pornish....bikini women that looked naked. Had to wait about 15 seconds before your video started. Just saying there is a bigger picture of why there is a problem here.
.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention! I'm so sorry about that
Hi doctor I don’t watch porn around 19 days but when I feel it my semen release by itself.
Just so you guys know,
If you're a young person who grew up on tech/screens It's likely you were already addicted to dopamine before you picked up porn.
You have been primed for addiction.
Does brain shrink because of porn ?
How long does it take for the brain fog to go away when you stop doing porn?
About a year
Maybe around the 3 month Mark you’ll feel a difference. But you might not notice it unless you relapse again from that point excessively. As long as you dismiss the urge and say no to it, you’re depriving it from what it wants. the more you deprive it the smaller it gets, you might loose battles but you’ll win many more. Make it a lifestyle choice instead of writing tally marks on the wall keeping track of the days as if you were in a prison. You can do it 😎
It depends on the person and the level of addiction!
@@DrTrishLeigh Do you feel that a complete cut-off of ejaculation/masturbation is necessary? Or simply refraining from porn and high stimulus/volume?
@@DrTrishLeigh I been addicted to porn 16yrs straight how long will do you think for my brain 🧠 to restart back to normal. And it feels like my brain has shurk and gotten smaller. Is this was because of the porn
How‘s swiping on Tinder? Everytime i see a nice girl, i stop. Im afraid it messes my 2 month pmo-free streak. How do i know my inner „response“ isn’t a natural, biological reaction? Or if its just my „addiction?“
Im struggling right now.
I'm also surfing bumble, I wonder if it has any effect on flatline? If anyone knows please reply, thank you
I would focus on more organic connections if possible! Tinder can be dangerous for that reason
Renders one incapable of having an intimate relationship with oneself others and worse of all Christ!
Mind on Christ will renew the mind…
I am NOT diminishing the struggles that folks have with this addiction.
I have my own addictions, it is my flesh warring with the spirit!
Christ is the answer!
He will do as he promises as we put our minds on heavenly things not temporal earthly things, provide rest for our soul-(mind will and emotions).
God has us all who believe in His Son!

you must of watched it yourself.
Nope!
is porn addiction comparable to heroine, cocain addiction? Dr trisly pls discuss on this
It can definitely have very similar effects!

How about brain fog causes porn?
It could be!
dr. Trish i left porn and masterbation for over two weeks, but today i had alot of erections out of nowhere, and suddenly a tiny bit of semen came out, does that mean i ruined my process?
Not at all! Your body and mind will go through all kinds of changes as you go through the recovery process. Keep rocking it out 💪
Why are some women so afraid of sex and porn? Suspecting a control issue here.
Absolutely not - it’s toxic
Women are often afraid of sex because of past or current partners!
@@DrTrishLeigh
Yes probably, but then letting men use porn seem to be frustrating for the same women.
