do u think that gaming after 12:00 AM can lead to porn watching ?

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Porn Kämpfer, Jan 19, 2020.

  1. In my opinion any activities on screen after 12:00 have high chance to lead to watching porn .

  2. Anything that leads to too much time , eventually being idle around screens and high speed internet can lead to porn . Time of day doesn't really matter all that much and for some it has absolutely no relevance.
    But staying up later just opens up more opportunity to watch porn
    People are in bed or asleep, your relaxed and or bored , and want to eventually sleep , and the idea of porn can crop up .

    split your day up where your not behind a screen constantly., Exercise , go out of the house more,spend a few hours here and there behind a screen and go to bed earlier.

  4. @Onwards90 true , I am already splitting my day and sleeping early before those high urges come .
    @Love life family exactly , Porn and late surfing are the main reason for relapses .

    I know that some people are more nocturnal and so on, but i know that if i'm up after midnight while alone in the house is because i'm not looking foward to the next day, and that is the situation you have to solve, porn is just a way to try to cope with the discomfort

    I don't think it has much to do with the time. Sitting around idle with high internet access and a porn addiction cant be good as someone stated above. Gaming stimulates the same area of the brain that drives addictions and many addictive behaviours run together. You drink and gamble or want a cigarrette when you drink ect. you get a dopamine fix from gaming and then your brain craves porn. I also heard there is a connection between the areas of the brain triggered by violence and sex so violent video games may also stimulate sex drive which can cause a PMO addict to relapses.

    I am inclined to agree.
    I would say that going to sleep as soon as possible is the first step toward sanity.

    It may not happen to everyone, but your own past can cause some tendencies in your mind. In my case (and probably yours) i play videogames late at night and when i close them my mind goes straight to masturbation. It is much easier to fight your urges if you don't have them at all.

    YES. Anything that allows your mind to become tired or weak will diminish your willpower will will directly lead, physically and measurably, to a higher chance of engaging in pornography. This is scientifically proven. Read the book "Willpower".

    I know that the longer we stay awake the more disinhibited and impulsive we are likely to become. I usually rise at 6am or before so for me gaming at 12am would very likely lead me to relapse. Also, I think just being up at any time that feels "sneaky" or where your deeds can be done "in the dark" (maybe literally at 12am) or in secret can lead to relapse. When I was first caught up in pornography, I would wait until my house was asleep or at least in the bedroom before going to the bathroom to give into my hormonal urges. Most of my first and greatest pornography-related thrills were done in late hours in the dark, making my present self more likely to relapse during dark times, in the late night or in the early morning.

    Yeah. I dont think that gaming leads us to porn. I feel that if I am awake till 12am then definitely those days I watch porn. So I have changed my life style. Now I sleep at 10pm and wake up at 5:55am. This only only makes my day productive, but also keeps me away from the porn craving.
