This video explains why so many people develop addictions to pornography in a fascinating way. Give it a watch, and leave a comment with your opinions.
This is spot on – for me, the understanding of this reward mechanism that has driven my porn use has been the primary factor in my drive to quit. When I get an urge to watch porn now, I just remember that the urge is only there because I’ve accidentally taught my brain to overly desire it. Even though resisting while horny is surprisingly difficult and the urge is surprisingly strong, I get a sense of satisfaction knowing that I am now re-wiring my brain the right way.
I have begun to follow your blog. Your journey through absolving yourself of this dependency is very inspiring, and I would like to support you throughout. You will see The Golden Vanguard popping up here and there on your site. Thank you for coming by, and good luck. Feel free to email me if you’d like to chat further: thegoldenvanguard@live.ca
