Hey guys, I’m 3.5 years without porn. It’s awesome. It saved my marriage and sex life. I’ve lost 20 pounds of fat, I work out six days a week and I’ve figured out how to enjoy my work. Porn was a total waste of time and resources for me. Cutting it out of my life is one of the best things I’ve ever done.
Thank you for sharing.
Like a delicous decadent meal, you are missing out on one of life's great pleasures.
Not only is it a waste of time, but it is also detrimental to your psyche.
I agree porn is a gigantic waste of time. I recently stopped doing porn and masturbation for 38 days, and during that time I went back to school, bought the electric guitar I always wanted, practiced every day and learned three rock solos, went back to the gym, lost eight pounds...my productivity went off the chart, all from stopping the utterly time-wasting activity of porn obsession.

Dumb. Anybody on here is likely addicted to porn. They've definitely already experienced this so called Life's greatest pleasure.
I went over 120 days w/out PMO. I felt amazing. I stumbled on the 5 March. However i pick myself up and continue. Recovery is a journey where u will fall along the way
Congratulations on your long streak. Be sure to analyze what happened on March 5 and learn from it. Before you know it you won’t be falling anymore. You got this. Keep going! 💪🏽🙅♀️
Wow that's amazing...you have let us know your secret..wish I can get to that many days. I get to 21 max
My longest streak was 29 days ... So do you tell me now that u never ever get horny any more ? If that's the case does that mean u no longer find women attractive any more... its just like looking at another guy etc ?
*You need to fail to succeed!*
I’m master-baiting right now.
Thank you! One of my hardest addictions next to iced coffee. “Control your brain or it will control you.” Perfect 👍
Iced coffee huh,
K. Not really possible to take that seriously....
I can’t come up with words to convey my admiration and respect for this woman’s work. She is absolutely, 100% correct.
I’ve been watching your videos on loop. Your channel is nothing short of amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you so much Dr. Trish, this video explains SO much. I've experienced a lot of what you've discussed here. I'm on a NoFap journey to quit but it's not easy. Your videos have helped, bless you! 🙏
Thanks a lot Dr Trish , you pointed out all the miseries that I am facing and not able to accept.
I can say without a hint of doubt that your videos have had the greatest effect on me quitting. If theres ever a time i might waver, i remember to think back to lessons ive ingrained from watching many of your videos.
Thank you so much Dr Leigh, your videos have been very helpful. I've found that consistency is key and as long as you keep moving forward, a few hiccups aren't as big of a deal as we make them out to be. My 19 day streak came to and end today but I'm feeling more motivated then ever. It was my first relapse this month and prior to this streak, I went without PMO for 8 days. From someone who used to pmo 1-2 times per day, 2 relapses over 27 days isn't the worst thing in the world.
actually that is an accomplishment
9 months+ without Porn
Thank God
How you start ?.
This is the best Video that you have done by far. You are so good at what you do. Love your Videos on this Sensitive Subject. Thank you for the Inspiration. Please keep these Videos coming. They are very motivating.
Wow! Dr you did an AMAZING job breaking it all down to the T! I now understand. Thank you for teaching me what this does to my brain and its negative effects, single or not.
Thank you for these videos. 😢KEEP DOING THESE
I love ur teachings, all that you saying, you got all correct, God Bless you
Thank you. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏻🙅♀️
Hi Trish this video is amazing. Very informative and you are a bravado for telling the bitter truth. Love you. Hugsxx
Thank you very much, Dr. Trish. Very informative video.
Thank you so much for posting this video Dr. Leigh. You really did hit the nail straight down. This is exactly what I needed to hear and I have to admit that this is exactly what I wanted to hear as well. The reason for that is because I have been addicted to masturbation for about 30 years now. Back in the day, there was no internet in my house, so I relied on the late night HBO movies on Friday nights that my parents had with cable. I also watched the “Pay-Per-View” channels that my parents never purchased (Playboy and Spice). I would watch the scrambled lines on the screen to see if I can make something out. When my parents first got the internet in the late/mid 90s, that was when it all took a turn for the worst. I looked at porn quite frequently since the late 90s and still have those sex images and videos ingrained into my head. I continued with porn throughout the 2000s when I was in college and the 2010s and still to this day. It’s very tempting because I have porn in my pocket (my iPhone). I never really noticed the damage that the constant cycle of porn and masturbation had until I tried to have sex with my wife (then girlfriend). I could never get any type of erection. At the time she thought that I wasn’t attracted to her and on top of that, she wanted me to feel bad. She even compared me to some former guys she had sex with in her earlier years…..which was a huge slap in the face for me. I was able to get some help from a neurologist to where I started taking cialis. Although it helped me with getting an erection, I couldn’t reach the point of orgasam to where I can ejaculate. My wife and I do have sex, but once in a blue moon. It happens very infrequently. Even though she hasn’t caught me looking at porn or masturbating, she still suspects that something is up because I never take the initiative to have sex with her. It’s also performance anxiety because it goes back to when I couldn’t “get it up” to have sex with her.
I have also noticed fog in my brain and a lack of motivation or drive to get things done. I would always resort back to the porn and masturbation. I know it’s tearing me apart. All I hear or read people talk about is how masturbation is completely harmless and actually a healthy thing to do. That’s not what I want to hear because it’s not making me feel good in the long run.
I know that I need to go “cold turkey” off if all the stimuli that I am using. Whether it be porn or even sexy photos of women on instagram. I need to abstain from the porn and fantasies that give me the urge to masturbate. I need to get my brain cleared up and I want to see my wife as sufficient for me. Of course I want to have sex, but I want to be able to follow through with it and not resort to fantasy and porn to masturbate when I can be enjoying something that is actually real and more fulfilling. Thank you again for posting this video.
The details of neuroplasticity is a huge game changer fact. This needs to be talked about more and more. The world perceives masturbation as a positive thing. But in reality it is so destructive to the brain, your connections, and how it rewires your brain. Thanks for Sharing! Such a game changer
Great info, appreciate your direct truthfulness about this (somewhat) taboo subject! New sub 👍 God bless you 🙏
it is good to hear you Dr ., THANX a million.
I'm so happy I found this channel
Because of all of my sexless marriage issues I was so lonely and angry with resentment. Thank you Trish for opening my eyes I'm finally serious about no fap,no porn, no phone. No lust is by far the hardest to stop looking at literally almost every woman I see. Living in my first sexless marriage with the only woman who completely denied me sex has left me so frustrated so your words are what I needed to hear! God bless you Trish. 🙏 God bless you from my heart ❤️
I hear you brother. same here
Not to bash you bro but how do sexless marriages occur?
@@enoh2977 I can only speak for myself, but one of hurdles was the fact my wife had self-esteem/ body image issues. along with depression. And that was before we even met. My mistake was thinking it would get better after the marriage. Dont ask me why I thought that. lol
@cornellbenson6363
women will always DRAG YOU DOWN to their level....NEVER play the white knight and try to 'save' them....
they DONT WANT to be SAVED....
they want to mentally FUCK YOU UP....
@@enoh2977many marriages are sexless. Number one cause is your wife losing respect for you. Capitulating to her hen pecking and not being the leader of the relationship. Men are designed to lead in the relationship. Modern women take on masculine traits and will try to lead but if you give in she will lose respect. If she cannot respect you she cannot love you. If she doesn’t respect you leave and find someone who does. Don’t make the same mistakes next time.
Dr. Trish- you nailed it! Thank God I found your channel. God bless!
i love everything envolving Dr Trish Leigh's being
Thanks for another wonderful clip about breaking the habit of masturbation. What I especially like about it is that you are genuine about your desire to help people be free and healthy, a very honourable motive that shines through your presentation, which makes it so convincing in contrast to the sales techniques of other presenters. You also summarise the science behind it in a way that everyone can understand, which again supports your approach. In addition, you don't moralise the behaviour so that there is no need to feel bad about it, which makes an enormous difference compared to religious teachers. And last but not least, you are a very likeable, beautiful, trustworthy woman who I would tell everything about my private life. Thanks again!!! I'm so glad I found you.
The most informative video I've seen on this topic yet. You are 101% correct ob every point raised.
I'm a 49 year old male and currently going through a painful process of trying to rectify this right now. Slow, but sure progress - there has been damage done and its gonna take sone undoing.
Guys,
Avoid the screen - exercise instead.
Avoid the screen - look into how increase nitric oxide levels.
Avoid the screen - meditate.
Avoid the screen - get proper sleep
Avoid the screen - take up proper kegel exercises.
Avoid the screen - get out in nature.
Seriously, avoid the screen.
Thankyou Trish🙂🙌👌
Idk about the nitric oxide levels

@@CiaranArmagh I heard people say that when you get older it becomes so much easier to stop....I'm 19 and I believed that but right now not so much
All N/A for me. 😂
@@Jay_0605 it doesnt become easier to stop, it becomes easier to reduce the frequency and ride out more time.
Thanks for the advice Dr. very helpful 😊
Appreciate the Great info and dopamine hit in the a.m. was a good point but need more alternatives
You've inspired me to try again, and I'm feeling better for the time being. I'm about to message another hundred women in search for a partner, knowing that this could take years. Masturbation never made me feel bad... it helped to take away the long-term pain of having a family that never supported me, and being in the present position of having no family. My father would react angrily whenever I asked him for advice about women, ordering me to "stay away from them because they are dangerous distractions, and never bring one home!" So I've had problems with women for the past 47 years, and have been learning and unlearning what I can to help make me a capable partner to share mutual support with a high quality woman. Spring works better for this since it's time to spend more time outside and get in better physical and neurological shape. It's been two years since my past partner left me... and I've rarely had any visitors or even a hug since... long enough, I deserve better!
Thank you for sharing this, Grant.
In my early teens, I fell into a deep, deep black hole after investigating whether it was beneficial for you and whether there were any harmful side effects. Every article I read highlighted how "practice makes perfect," how it's "good to know yourself," and "how it enhanced testosterone levels," and I went deeper than singularity later in my mid-teens when I heard from another teen that masturbation reduced sperm count and made it impossible to get someone pregnant. So I went to town, I had a girlfriend at the time. She never got pregnant because she had ovulation problems, and I assumed it was due to my masturbation. Now in my 30s, I'm beginning to crawl out of this black hole that began last year. Everything you've said, Dr. Trish, has been my experience: brain fog, anxiety, and poor memory. Knowing I caused this to myself has been hell.
Wow! You give the most logical, crystal clear explanations I’ve ever heard. You are a treasure. Thanks for the powerful information.
All the ridiculous claims in this video by Quack Doctors and religious fanatics have been discredited by the Mental Health profession and scientists.
Denial of natural urges leads to severe mental problems and even criminal acts such as rape and sexual assault by men and boys, your bodies were never meant to withhold the pressures that demand release.
Masturbation is healthy, harmless and is a part of our sexuality, especially just after puberty when we are exploring the move from childhood to the adult world.
@@Lili-Benovent if so, many guys are benefiting from this, why do you want to ridicule it? The results are in the pudding. If you don’t need this kind of advice, so be it, but it has changed, lives for many, for the better, and if they are happier, I think that is all the validation you need.
@@charlesburger1810 Nobody benefits from living in a state of sexual frustration, guilting young men into not releasing the pressure by not masturbating will lead to more sexual assaults and rapes, also it's detrimental to their mental health, this quack doctor has a lot to answer for.
very informative episode thank you DR. Leigh.
I appreciate the informative videos you put out on quitting masturbation addiction. Over the past two years now I’ve slowly reduced porn to the point where I no longer needed it and when I saw your videos on exactly what happens to the brain on masturbation it helped me to be educated on the same issues I was going through.
What I’m doing now is that some of my friends are religious and follow lent so I decided personally to give up porn for this time as a challenge but since others are giving up something challenging to them it felt like a good thing to do. In this time I’ve found out that I do have strength to move forward and it seems easier doing this as a way to connect better with my own religion/ spirituality. But if your not religious you can do it as a challenge with friends and support each other.
However, the thing I’m experiencing is sometimes struggle with motivation but I keep going because I want to be my authentic self instead of being in survival self which happened to my emotional side due to family stresses but found out that eventually I will need to cross this bridge from survival to authentic self eventually and having different support systems such as a therapist or friends that care for you really is a great motivator. And for anyone feeling alone, I’ve realized it is important to give yourself whatever you need and creating some goal that helps you to feel better and overcome a small barrier that has pushed you back from your true self whatever that is for you.
I found this channel at divine timing. I’ve always known deep down semen retention was the correct path. The way I actually quit smoking weed a few years back was a 40 day fast from PMO. It’s been a journey beginning from a very traumatic childhood where I used whatever I could to feel love an positive feelings to now being 35 an wanting to stop PMO forever. I’ve been sober 13+ years from drugs but I’ve had to come to the realization that I’m still a slave to the high I get doing PMO at least once a day. Thanks for doing Gods work Dr I’m excited for the new blessings I will obtain from this new, much needed discipline. 🙏🏼

Thanks Dr Trish your brilliant and I only follow you an nobody else. Have a Happy Mother's Day
thank you so much for that information that helps tremendously
Dr Trish
You have opened the door of my past from boyhood to mature senior citizen. I am in my seventies and I have a great deal of shame for all these years of masturbating and avoiding truly intimate relationships with my previous girlfriends. I was almost married twice, but because of sexual addiction I never thought I would be happy with one woman. How wrong I was to believe that my problems were external and not in my own head. Your approach to this topic of pornography is so simplistic and direct. Your devotion to helping people can clearly be felt through the many videos on CZcams. I hope one day to meet you personally. You are truly a Godsend. 😃🙏🏻
I don't have shame for masturbating but I do wish I had a partner. But there are simply none available out in this cruel world.
Not me I have masturbated entire life I'm 60s I'm on my 2nd marriage my wife doesn't care if I masturbate, we still have sex also we watch porn too. I'm not ashamed of it did I watch porn for hours no I don't consider myself addicted to it. IMO masturbation itself is a byproduct of other issues such as low self-esteem. Fix that issue and you won't have a problem finding a woman.
Simplistic is the word.
Dr. Trish, I wanna say thank you so much for your videos. You do not imagine how they are helping to understand my current situation!
Thanks for the sharing this information have a wonderful day ❤
Thank you so much Dr Trish.
THIS IS AMAZING. I'm 59 years old and have been struggling with this since i was a child. i have lost almost everything in my life. This video has opened my eyes, heart and mind to truths i have never heard before. I am overwhelmed with years and years of loss and failure in so many areas of my life and now with the thoughts of its too late being 59 years old. PLEASE HELP Dr. Trish
I am 53 James! For me the same🙏
I’m 52 😂
I'm 54

Is it too late?
I want to thank you Dr Leigh for doing what you do. I feel blessed to have found your videos because this is exactly the kind of behavior I'm so deeply wanting to stop, but I can't go more than a few weeks before I go on a binge. I'm signed on to your 90 day course and am very optimistic about a life change. I'm very grateful for this opportunity, you are an amazing person and I'm blown away by your knowledge and approach that I didn't even know existed. Thank you so much for this, you are truly a blessing Dr Leigh 🙏🙂
Congratulations 🎉 This is an excellent start to a happier life!
@@DrTrishLeigh Dr Leigh a little earlier I wrote the letter from the perspective of the little boy who was beaten and all but abandoned by his parents to be passed around relatives, lost, lonely and heartbroken. I can feel so much happening from within right now having responded to myself as a 51 year old man. I am obviously struggling but this is so powerful Dr Leigh, I am so grateful to you for this opportunity, I'm moving forward in small increments but I am feeling levels of hope I have not before. You are truly a blessing Dr Leigh, thank you 🙏🙂

Amazing advice thank you Dr.
Dr. Trish I just want to say that what you are doing for us makes a difference. You are giving the help that we so much need because you are such an intelligent and dedicated woman. The language that you use helps everyone to understand the dangers and possibilities that this can have on the human brain. I am a different man since I've stopped masturbating and watching porn. My hope will not perish and it is all thanks to you, I truly wish there were more professionals like yourself out there. As behavioral neuroscience major.. you are an inspiration to me.
Gracias!!
Dr. Trish,
Thank you for these videos. I'm going through hard times because i've lost my girlfriend to this addiction and I feel lost.
I quit watching porn but I couldn't stop masturbating and ED stayed. She was patient but I could not get a hold on it.
Well it's past tense now.
Anyhow you give me hope that I can still rebuild my life.
You don't need a girlfriend to be content. Live free by yourself and work on yourself.
@@mllermusic3979 He should also be consumed with guilt for how he has emotionally damaged his X partner because of his disgusting habits.
@@sealarkesmiles9263 Guilt will not make the addiction go away neither will shame (I know this from experience and research into it too). Instead forgive yourself for what you've done. If I think 'oh I'm such a bad person, I might as well watch porn because I'm already a bad person' it won't help very much in my opinion. What about you?
@@sealarkesmiles9263 he couldn't stop so what are you going to do
Hi friend. I am sorry to hear this. There is hope. Stay the course in this journey and your brain will heal, the ED will recover. You will meet someone that you can share your life with.
I sincerely appreciate you explain this with science and not with morals.
You are very knowledgeable about this topic and it’s very helpful to me ❤ ❤
Really appreciate Dr Trish, standing for the truth.
I went 2 years without releasing 💪 I relapsed 🥺 I'm back at square one🙏 pray for me 🙏😇
You are absolutely correct! I am experiencing all of what you said and others saying otherwise is incorrect and lying.
You make alot of sense thank you ❤
My only issue is my wife is impotent so my recovery will have sexless rewards and I know this but hearing all your truth has been Very helpful and necessary for me to hear and apply to my life's goals, regardless of my sexless relationship with my wife.
12 days w/o PMO. I definitely feel some change in me. But hard to describe. Self motivation is the key.
THANK YOU Dr. Trish!!!!!!
thanks a lot ma'am i watch your videos repetitively you are such a mother , i really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart , i was in the visious cycle , but understanding your videos helped me clear my doubts please recommend me other youtube channels as well as yours , i truely need others like you ma'am 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ma'am you are such a god to me , there was no one to tell me about this damage , thank you thank you
Finally… THE TRUTH! Having stumbled across your podcasts, one might say randomly, and after listening to the first 7 this week then watching a couple of your videos it’s very clear to me, FINALLY yes finally there’s a voice out there that actually knows what they are talking about and is not afraid to speak the truth (this is deep what your telling us) and whatever judgement there might be from some, it’s all worth it because YOU my friend are helping men and I’m sure women too understand what’s really going on and why/how/where this happens and that in turn is life changing… your ‘teaching’ so to speak is changing lives, and helping all that are willing to apply what they hear… suffice as to say this is so needed! On a personal level I’m so done with surface words like ‘oh there’s nothing with it’ or ‘what you doing is normal’ NO… that’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard, it’s about time someone spoke up so that we can get the help we need and live a life that’s fulfilling and addiction free! So happy you are here and doing what you do, this is life changing and many will be impacted. I firmly believe, if one is to be free of this, by that I mean pornography/masturbation we have to ready to get very honest with ourselves and recognise a) we need help b) acknowledge we have an addiction, and c) do whatever we need to do to get free of this… in a word, it’s time to get serious, it’s decision time! 🙌 thank you for being here! May you have a good day and as always say… control your mind or it will control you, that needs to be meme of some kind pretty soon Dr 😊
Thank you for sharing this! I really appreciate it!
Dr. Leigh, I just have to chime in because this has been a lifelong problem of mine as long as I can remember. When I abstain from these things I usually find myself more interested in my hobbies like drawing and writing that have kept me occupied in the past for a considerable amount of time. I like your videos, I just started watching a few days ago and I have to say, youve inspired me to turn to my hobbies whenever my hands suddenly feel bored. Thank you so much!
Thanks for chiming in. I’m glad to inspire you. Your brain 🧠 Will thank you and you will have a happier life. Rock it out! 💪🏽🙅♀️
@@DrTrishLeigh I'm in the process of not Masturbating so much and i quit watching porn also. So when i do masturbate i just use my imagination. I lost track of how many times a day/week i do masturbate but i do know i cut back to once or twice a week. Is that good or bad

It seems like a reversible process! I have actually tried not touching myself for two weeks but eventually I have returned to the masturbation frequency my body usually desires
Exactly because it’s healthy and normal. On a variety of levels. I think if this doctor had her way a person wouldn’t masturbate at all.

You are a very smart woman thanks for your intelligent words
Abstained for about 2 weeks. Felt so motivated, productive and daring. I caved the other day and am definitely going to see how long I can go this time. Unfortunately do not have a partner so no pron and no masterbation means no ejaculation
Same boat. See my comment above.
Get one and dry pound
For those without a partner, when it comes to libido...you don't believe there is a "use it or lose it" aspect?
I am also suffering from this issue but anyhow I managing to overcome it, ur lecture is really helpful 🙏🙏
Thank You. My life is changing…
I'm on day 15 of abstaining from pornography and it's been hell on earth anxiety has always been a part of my life to make it early 20s when my porn addiction first started. I want a real woman in my life. I had someone I love very much and I lost her also because of the addiction. Because my brain was so wired on Instagram vacation I didn't know how to interact with a woman intimately and my anxiety provoked intrusive thoughts. This. Able to draw them on right now is give me insomnia four nights in a row now and moments of dread, guilt, sadness, and then silence which feels completely scary. The same woman that I loved is still in my life and she is my rock through all of this. I'm going to beat this addiction. my overuse as of late has been because of stressors in my life, such as loss of my aunt and my grandmother, who were very prominent in my upbringing. I know these are all withdrawal symptoms from my brain trying to heal and when I did not get a fix, now that my libido is flatlined, that optio is unavailable so the self doubt comes roaring in through weird dreams, porn flashbacks, twisted memories, and false reactions. Trish, what I want to know is are there any coping strategies that you can suggest?
Dr. Trish,
I've been watching your channel for a year now.
This has been the best most supportive video EVER!
I Thank You as I continue with my struggle and my imminent road to success!

It’s crazy how the rush I was looking for in the fantasy world doesn’t compare to when I can see someone believing in me. Thank you Dr. So much.
It's everybody's favorite hobby!
❤❤❤ thank you Trish i hope this helps me quit this

Wow Dr Trish! You explained everything so perfectly. 🙏 Also I love how you say at the end control your brain or it will control you.💯
Shouldn’t your partner try to spice it up instead of just laying there like a corpse?
You are helping needy THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU 🙏✝️
Thank you for this download.
First of all thank you for these informative and helpful videos. I appreciate it.
I myself have been struggling with this for years and I have developed an addiction to it, or something I resort to when I feel like I have a mental breakdown or depressive episode. I think this is a deep rooted problem in some people, as it is some form of outlet of hidden trauma or something like that.
I think in my case it is also associated with retroactive OCD/jealousy, it makes us people want to do these things because "we feel better about ourselves" but yet we get into a worse mood after that. (you might want to look up the term btw.)
True and wise words that you are speaking ma'am. Thanks for your work.
I don't know why masturbation is something to quit. You don't want be addicted to it , but this is a natural thing. Monkeys do it. Even animals without hands do it too.
Thank you very much! But I don't want to relinquish such a blissful pleasure for ever !
Doc, can you create a dedicated video on the relation between cortisol, oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin and their dependencies on one another? Thank you for all of you insight
Trish, I want to thank you for all the work you do. I find the more I'm aware of the negative effects, as well as experiencing the beneficial effects, it becomes easier to stop. I think the biggest help in quitting though has been focusing fully on my purpose. So, if you don't have a purpose, find yours and don't stop searching until you do!
You’re welcome. Thank you for this comment. It helps me stay focused on my purpose even when it gets challenging. I’m glad to be able to help you. Keep rocking it out! 💪🏽🙅♀️
Thank you for this video! For years I've used this as a sleep aid I told myself I sleep better and faster if I do this before bed but deep down I've always known it's not right. I wish more smart people talked about this. I'm thankful I came across this video!
Never gonna quit. Love it❤️❤️
Dr. you are great you change my life
Dr Lee ; great to see your reaching out to the us men- for the believers in christ your body is purchased with the tears of blood and body of our savior..so only in the marriage b d is sexual experiences blessed !
I would be interested in better understanding how sex addiction (ie having many sexual partners) and porn actors fare with respect to the neurological aspects you refer to in relation to masturbation . . . Do they also experience the same deficits as one would from porn/masturbation addiction? Also, you focus on male masturbation. Does this apply to females as well?
