  • Pornography is one of the greatest, but at the same time most overlooked, problems of the modern world. This video analyzes the history of pornography's legalization, the industry that currently surrounds and produces porn, the effects of porn on the human brain and behavior, and what can be done to fix the porn problem at both an individual and societal level. This is how Pornography Destroys Your Mind. The term 'porn use' and masturbation to porn are synonymous in the modern lexicon, and are used as such in this video.
    This video is particularly relevant for those interested in Nofap, those who are trying to avoid porn, those skeptical of porn but unsure of its effects, or really anyone who's willing to learning the truth about pornography. If you're someone doing 'No Nut November' (NNN), this video is also relevant.

    I saw it at 8 years old for the first time and was addicted by 9 years old. I’m 30 now. I’ve tried quitting so many times I can’t remember how many times I went hard against it. It pulls me back each time. I’m unsure if I can even get free at this point. I hate it. Every time I feel like a complete loser after watching (because I am a loser) and yet I go back each time like a dog to its vomit. Pray for me. I need it.

      What helped me is to actually see that it's an enemy trying to hurt me, and seriously hate it. I reprogrammed myself to get angry instead of horny when i watched any pornographic content, and ended up being quiet aggressive and insulting towards friends who discussed it, but it was worth it.
      My advice is, see it as a hit towards your ego and hate it with all your heart, with as much zealousy as you can muster.

    As a porn addict who’s desperately trying to relinquish it for good, I am both grateful this video exists and disgusted with myself for having discovered it at 14 years old and since becoming drawn to it with no discouragement from anyone whatsoever. Now at 28, I continue to struggle to convince myself how abhorrent it is, constantly going into trances when it catches me, making me forget about various problems in my life, which is the only reason I watch it. Otherwise, I hate it. So much. Though I was told by my parents it’s all one big neurological fallacy, they never went far enough to stop me from viewing it, and nobody else I know (at least those whom I’ve discussed porn with) thinks it’s bad. Just normal. As many of us have said already, this video ought to be seen by millions of others, particularly the media, to warn them of just how destructive porn can be. I don’t expect any sympathy since I’m an addict who’s yet to quit, but to all those people out there who are trying to quit like me, don’t give up. To those who do feel like encouraging me and others like me, you have my thanks; more than ever now, people need to know the dangers of pornography no matter their “excuses” for using or producing it.

      I watch pron about two times a week, have sex with my wife my wife about the same amount, I'm working and have even a bit of a social life outside of my family.
      It never prevented me for having girlfriends or going to work or enjoying my hobbies. Funny thing is that none of my girlfriends watched porn and most were more horny than me. People can separate porn and real life, but truth to be told, watching it made me able to perform better as a lover, because I knew what could bring pleasure to a woman, and by having sex, you understand more and more what can turn on each person individually. Complementary.
      I'd say porn have a bad effect on society because it became so mainstream. It's a private thing but we made it too "acceptable" and public. When every TV channels show you random bitches twerking their asses and getting money for it, you know society is doomed. Only Fans is a concentration of lazy whores who weren't more valuables before, and there's so much loneliness that some people are just simps in consequence. Not even talking about porn actresses becoming new anchors or TV shows who show gross stuff during prime time.
      Too much porn ? Sure, drop it bro. A bit of it isn't too bad, for most people at least.
      Here, I'm going to rub one for you. Cheers.

    REMEMBER:
    As mentioned in this video, the brain is able to adapt to new habits, so you can progressively give up bad habits little by little, in this case, pornography.
    When you manage to at least quit this, you have to find new habits that will give you the amount of dopamine you require, which can be found in playing music, reading, going for walks, engaging in social activities, exercising, etc.
    It's never too late to make a change, and in such short time you'll realise that it was worth it.

Free speech and free expression means you're allowed to express dissenting political opinions without fear of being punished. It does NOT mean you are allowed to create explicit content and upload it for the whole world to see. It's absurd just like the idea that free speech means lobbyists should be allowed to buy politicians or that abortion is protected under the 14th amendment are.

    I've never been a porn addict, but I am a recovering alcoholic. The effects of this video and the entire video in general hit home in a big way. I've known a lot of people in the recovery community who were cross addicted to both alcohol/drugs AND porn.
    The interesting thing that I see time and time again is the ease of many people to talk openly about all of the horrible things they have suffered at the hands of drugs and alcohol and yet when porn addiction is brought up you can cut the tension in the air with a knife.
    You think its taboo to talk about in the open and in general, hell its taboo in many recovery circles!
    Great videos, keep them coming! Just binged watched all of them. lol

      I think there's so much tension because people can easily use the drugs & alcohol as an escape goat for their actions but when porn is mentioned it becomes "embarassing" due to the fact that it was you & your will alone that broke due to porn, but this stigma is wrong because porn is so easily accessible and is so similar to drug addiction and has to be treated the same. We all have phones, and porn is only a few taps away.

      @@TeaCup1940 I think I was first exposed to it because of an advertisement on a mobile game I was playing. And the thing is, it's a kids game, but it was a p*rnographic ad. And it just got worse from there. To other people it could be exposure to magazines or even accidentally stumbling upon a site they aren't supposed to be on.
      Honestly I don't think parents should be allowing kids on the internet at all until they are at least smart enough to stay away from that kind of stuff. That stuff on the internet everywhere. Even kids getting into groups that don't seem bad (like fandoms of a game or something) can easily find bad things. I'm saying this as a teenager who absolutely despises this. P#rn needs to be banned and heavily regulated, especially on the internet. And again, no kid needs to be using the internet unless they are smart enough or absolutely have to. Even then it should be strictly monitored.

I found my fathers tapes in his closet when I was a kid and it genuinely traumatized me. It destroyed my perception of bodily sanctity and purity. It continued to grow in my mind and I started fighting it at the age of 19. I’m currently journaling, exercising, and doing as many productive pro human pro life things in my life to change. It has put my relationships in pain. Made me isolate from reality. And tons of other negative things. As of lately I’ve been starting to wake up to the real world and I couldn’t be more grateful. There is SO much evil in the western world now and I refuse to be apart of it. Thank you for continuing to fight to put this information out there. People NEED to hear this.

      Hello my fellow human beings. How are you today or tonight?
      Billy Graham once said something in the likes of sin traps you, you become like a mouse stuck in a rat trap yet the mouse still continues to nibble on the cheese Sin leads to death in all aspects of life. Commit your life to Jesus Christ.
      SIN STARTS from the mind when you think about it expands eventually you run back to SIN even if you stop for a week or a month or a year, if your mind is not renewed daily you stand a 50/50 chance of going back. What does the bible say> The bible says: Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Renew your mind instead of thinking of evil. THINK OF GOOD THINGS CHARITABLE DEEDS ALL THE TIME. Remember in this world we are all soldiers on a mission, whether you like it or not. Deuteronomy 30:19 New Living Translation (NLT) “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!"
      This is God speaking. He has given us His son, His spirit (The Holy Spirit), Himself, He has also given us dominion over the whole earth (Genesis 1:26) dominion over all principalities and power even the devil fears us because of Him that lives in us (Jesus Christ) If you accept Him.
      I have too much say. I could talk forever (figuratively).
      I love you, MOST of all God loves you. Take care of yourself. Your family and your neighbors.
      PEACE BE WITH YOU.

      That's not the case today, society has weakened its defenses of tradition, which then caused people to search elsewhere for solutions to their woes. Whether or not something is normal in such a circumstance is largely up to chance, but people don't realize this and will go along with whatever is normal, never stopping to think about it.

      Agreed, most things in moderation are okay, like porn. However if you use it to escape your reality on a regular basis, it's obviously going to be detrimental. I've watched porn together with my partner, it's fun. Just don't abuse it.

    For those of you struggling with shame because of your addiction - consider this - shame is identify based, meaning when you feel shamed by something you identify as shameful, whereas guilt will actually repel you from the behavior. Change shame into guilt by changing what you identify as.

    Pornography is inhumane. It should never be a part of our daily routine. It abolishes the relationships we have with our loved ones and destroys our lives. I am genuinely sorry for the individuals that think it is normal to sit in a chair and watch these dirty exhibitionists expose their cleavage and display their dicks and showing their ass on a camera while jerking off. And I especially feel sorry for the exhibitionists themselves, hoping that they will change.
    If you are porn-free, be glad. Be proud of yourself. If you are fighting an addiction to porn, keep fighting against it. You shouldn't deserve to suffer like this. All of us are praying for you and the modern society we live in. Stay strong, brothers.

    1. Pornography is so normalized nowadays that it would be like taking a genga piece from society
    2. There's so many thing that are overlapping or getting overlaped to by pornography that it will be impossible to break one thing without breaking another
    3. What would be considered pornographic or just erotic? unfortunaley or forunaley several artists make a living making theses kinds of stuff
    4. Even if you make laws to ban theses kind of things it will have a lot of loopholes, just see the situation in japan for example

Earlier this year, in January 2023, I realized I hadn’t watched any in a couple of days and decided to see how long I could make it last. I’ve currently made it three months and am on my way to a fourth. That’s not to say I haven’t been tempted by it or desired to, I actually almost gave in today but I’m too stubborn to not succeed now and to be honest, I have read some smut in that time but it’s baby steps.

      If your parents are anything like mine, tell them. I had the same issue. I found it when I was homeschooled at 13 and developed an addiction to it. I spent the next few years trying to hide it from my parents and feeling guilty about it. I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, so I figured my parents would be even stricter than normal parents if I told them, and was worried about when it would be time to go on my mission. I even , uncharacteristically, began to think suicidal thoughts too. But about a year back, when I was 16, I told them the truth finally. They were shocked, of course, but they were just worried for me and reassured me it would be ok and that they wanted to help me through it. Now, a year later, I still have some issues from time to time, but my views on my parents, my religion, and my life have changed dramatically and I feel so much more secure and comfortable. So if there’s ANY chance your parents will listen and understand, tell them. It’s not worth keeping it inside your whole life

    I've been exposed to pornography and had my first orgasm as early as I can remember (perhaps 6/7 yrs old, yes that early). Today I'm 23, and it still continues to fck my social life. I've been addicted to it and wanted to quit countless times but the urge is deeply rooted and I fail again & again. I've experienced all the negative effects associated to porn/masturbation. I'm 3 days clean now, and the longest I've been is only a week. Everyday the urge grow stronger and I always give in😥
    I literally remember my father's porn collection stored in CDs and I watch it every time I'm home alone. I've had access to porn at such a young age. I always knew how to quit but once the urge kicks in, I always find myself in front of a screen and before I realize, I already did the deed😓 I'm disgusted and ashamed. Please pray for me🙏

    Ive been around porn and nudity all my life and I never really cared about it. When i was young in Brazil, I always thought it was something certain adults did. In Japan i never cared about it despite it being out in the public in some areas. I didnt know why but i never cared. I knew i wasnt old enough to understand it so i ignored it when i saw it. It wasnt until i came to the US that i learned what it was and how it went against US values and weatern values. I learned it was due to religious values, western comforts, and somewhat i think are feminism principles. When i was in college I didnt mind seeing and being around sex and nudity. I guess not being of a complete western mind i was more open to nudity and sexuality. Overall, adult things dont bother me and i believe people who want to live a swinger or lewd-accepting lifestyle should have their own private community away from children and society to enjoy thwir own sexual lifestyles. I also believe sexuality is human nature. The purpose of any organism is to reproduce. I also believe this is how humans should authentically behave if not constrained to culture. I believe sexual behaviors should be consentual and should be practiced safely with people others can trust. Personally, im not very sexual. I keep myself busy. But these are my beliefs.

      I understand... I thought it was impossible to get out of this loophole, and there was no way I could quit the addiction, but on this very day, I have quitted and stopped my habits. This will be up to you if you want to accept it or not. Pornography can be quit, but it takes a lot of self-control, and literally (not joking in here) cutting the problems from the root. Everything related to what might cause you to fall needs to be deleted asap. Also, take a break from social media, and stop following content that could tempt you to keep the habit.
      First, you need to recognize that you need help and acknowledge that alone you cannot do this; This would be the part that almost anyone doesn't want to get involved in, but I think this is a MUST, to quit pornography at least entirely. You need to pray a lot, and that means praying a lot to Jesus and God. Go to confession (if you're baptized Catholic), or go to a priest. He would surely give you advice on how to proceed. In the most severe case, a psychologist is recommended (although for seculars I wouldn't be so sure)
      Start going less through social media, start reading, and find new hobbies (or just something to get your mind busy), and when the urge comes, just try to pray, and think about what would God do in this situation. The difficult part is that the images will come to you, and it will be difficult to overcome at first, but that's the thing, through Christ we can do the impossible.
      It is true, the scars will be there, and It's tough because you'll have to cut content that you used to enjoy before. This is not easy, it is a process, but you'll have to renounce some things in order to avoid addiction and sin. Sometimes I struggle, but I can tell you that by doing that, things will get better, and the temptations will still be there, but then, you'll be healing, and what would affect you easily, eventually (though slowly or rapidly depending how seriously you take it) it will no longer affect you, but be aware that you need to stop and no longer seek this content.
      To tell you the truth, I still struggle sometimes, but I have not seen it since then, and stop my addiction. It's better to cut out things that will make you fall than to keep them.
      As Jesus said himself: "And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell." (Matthew 18:9)

It has been, without a doubt, the most significant affliction on my quality of life in the last few years. The amount of sleep I've lost over it, how long I've put off seeking out a relationship because of it.
    I knew it was wrong, but some part of my mind repeated those exact myths about porn being perfectly healthy that I'd heard from somewhere or other, and sometimes, that was enough to tip me over the edge.

    To break away from porn addiction it is important to not ruthlessly blame yourself. The knowledge that it is a targeted way to demoralize the people with the intent to unleash that sexual energy for revolutionary purposes, or chaos and bring us into bondage is essential.
    Libodo Dominandi is a great Catholic book that follows this trend starting before the enlightenment to the present day.

    Here in the Czech Republic American culture was such an important thing for every kid growing up after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Its sad to see it turn this mess. It just feels like we stopped getting Marxist propaganda from the Soviets just to receive the exact same thing later from China and Hollywood with extra degeneracy.
    I still wonder though... Is America a good place to live? The day when I'll have to choose if I want to stay here in Europe or move to the US is getting closer (although still quite far away) and I am trying to gather as much feedback from Americans as I can. I would gladly appreciate your thoughts on living in the United States because most Americans I asked don't take the question seriously.

      well if you want a serious answer, if anything the indoctrination from marxist media and degeneracy of rampet free market capitalism is possibly similar or worse then it is in the Czech Republic. Its hard to give a concrete answer right now as it is election season. If Biden is elected I'm going to assume its going to only get worse here. Whether you should travel and live here is up to your decision. Good luck.

      @@austins9027 True, since CNN invented the 24 hours news cycle, everything went so wrong. The only good thing is that alternative media finally started getting some attention. I would expect that the radicalization of left-wingers will lead to some kind of strong anti-movement from the right to counter them, yet there seems to be nothing. Its just a shit ton of left wing groups against the centre right Republicans. I hope that some anti-communist movements start getting traction. Who knows, maybe it can be countries like Czechia and Poland to lead some kind of a nationalist revival similar to how Sweden became a role model for socialist even though it is a capitalist country.
