If you’re reading this post, you or someone you know is trying to quit porn and are looking for some help in doing so. Here’s the good news: in the vast majority of cases, you don’t need expensive rehabs or retreats to rid your life of porn. As I mentioned in a previous, in reading a boatload of books and countless blog and forum postings on “porn addiction recovery,” I discovered that most of the advice given is the exact same advice therapists and cognitive psychologists offer to someone who’s trying to change a bad habit as innocuous as swearing or fingernail biting. Sure, there are a few differences, but overall, quitting porn is just like quitting pretty much any other bad habit.
An important thing to keep in mind with changing any habit — be it smoking, drinking soda, or using porn — is that there’s no magic bullet. Habit change takes time, discipline, and dedication, and the process will look a little different for each individual.

Why on earth would I quit porn? It's free and I am not hurting anybody.
ReplyDeleteWomen hate porn?
ReplyDeletePorn = fantasy land. Think about it, IMO watching is a form of voyeurism: "one who has an excessive interest in sexual objects or activities". How can this be normal?

ReplyDeleteBecause everyone watches porn. That is why it is normal.
Seriously, we are so sexually repressed as a culture it is a shame. If nothing else it is helping to break through these antiquated, and unnecessary prudish shackles.
Humans, are horny. It's in our very nature. Live and let live. Love, and get it on!
If you ever read the top 20 list of most visited Websites every month. You get Fox, and Drudge up at the top. But usually the headline is "25 percent of top visited websites are "adult".
ReplyDeleteIt's a way for me to relax and unwind from a stressful day. It's also a stress release from a sexless marriage. Not hurting anyone and at least I'm not doing drugs. If it hurts no one, do as thy will.
ReplyDeleteHealthy sexuality does not include porn. Watching abused women perform for money is gross.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. Sounds like alot of horny folks on here.
