Restored Capacity to Love

Just wanted to say that was an awesome post, reading that has given me a little more inspiration to keep my own personal streak going. Thanks for showing me the light at the end of the tunnel, and keep the good news coming.

 

If I could go back about ten years and do it over, I think I would have wanted to eliminate pornography from my life and restore that purity of vision. I'm with a very sweet, loving, Godly young woman right now. My pursuit isn't to be able to appreciate women, but to be able to fully appreciate this woman. She's worth it, and I want to be worth it as well.

If there's one thing I've discovered about Satan's plan to destroy America and the Church, it's that pornography is one of his pet projects. Cut the men out of the picture, render them incompetent and impotent little boys, and the battle is as good as won.

 

This is a great post. Period.

 

Awesome !!

 

Your story got stuck in my head. Thanks for sharing. It is a flicker in my carnal mind that women have a great deal more to offer than porn depicts. I'm not exactly sure how you find your way out of this, but I'm trying. I like stories like yours. Thanks man.

 

What a great point!!!

 

Personally, I don't like to mix religion into it, but overall it was a very good post!
Inspiring read, thank you and good luck with your future endeavors, I think you have a good chance at maintaining your connection with her.

 

Nice post and great work

 

I’ll trade porn and everything that goes with it for moments like the one you described.

 

Very cool!! I have felt love was out of the question for me for the last 10 years. I attributed it to a nasty divorce. Maybe it is my addiction. Take care!

 

Very well OP, I'm happy for you. I often feel the same about my reasons for abstinence. I want my mind to be 24/7 ready and set for higher-level spiritual experiences , and for that reason I must purge it from all the filth that oversexualization accumulates in our mind. Women tend to be beautiful creatures indeed and perceiving them mainly from sexual point of view is very disappointing to me, if not disguisting - regardless of whether you're looking at a church girl or a porn prostitute. This is just not how I want to perceive my fellow humans, because thinking is already doing in a way - it sets you up for further action and influences your decision making.

Where love is the will to create and hate is the will to destroy, loving porn creates this sad and deep void in your mind where once you ejaculate, there is nothing left. The chicks at the screen or in your imagination just suddenly disappear, for this is what they were - mere illusions. You are willing to create an orgasm that is short-lasting and cannot give long-term satisfaction, but the energy is wasted in the process. Starting to appreciate non-sexual wonders of life that give long-lasting satisfaction (such as establishing families with worthy, noble and conscious people or any action having this in perspective) can sure be a life-changer, and this is what I wish to all of you, brothers and sisters.

 

This confirms what I suspected, porn and masturbation makes men less empathetic, more vicious and less emotionally. When we quit we are restored to the basic lovely persons we once were.
