    Hi,

    My eldest brother that is in his forties asked me how he can download porn videos with his mobile. I was shocked and tried to avoid it. Waiting to hear "I was just joking". But he insisted and gave some small replies. I really don't know what to say. I don't wanna see he got addicted to porn. I fear he may know I watch porn videos. So, I avoided to say it's bad. I just said you are religious and you should avoid that.

    He responded I just want to learn how to access them, In case I want to watch them.

    So, Give me some tips to help him don't approach porn. I want to say something like "It's really bad and addictive. I myself have watched them sometimes and wanna quit them. It's not easy at all. So, You better be careful with that."
    Is it good to admit I myself watch them?
    Is it going to be helpful? Does it make him avoid watching porn?

    I think if you’re going to advise him to give up such thoughts, you have no choice but to admit your problem with pornography. If you trust his judgment and his secret-keeping ability, you can go this way.
    Apart from this, I have no idea what to do about this.
    Wishing you the best.

    That seems a good place to start. But I would actually go on and reveal the serious problem it has developed into. I think this would be easier face-to-face. I think this would help you as much as it helps him. :) But you have to be willing to be honest about your addiction. If you only admit part of your problem he will never see the danger of his choices. Good luck.

    You could perhaps refer to any general addiction here,
    Say you encountered an article recently how P Is a very much Existential Addiction and how it’s taken a toll on people.
    You could search up such an article online easily and use words from that, and suggest him to be advised.
    If you are close enough(it appears perhaps you are), you could just send any such article to him!


    OR

    You could just say you don’t know one shit about this stuff.


    Good luck,
    Be aware, don’t access those websites and harass yourself.

    Thank you all for your advice,

    I am not close to or comfortable with him at all. It's very awkward. I can't even be sure what he would do or say to me. Don't trust his judgement or secret-keeping ability. God, This is really overwhelming.

    I guess I just ignore it for a while.

  6. If you are not close and comfortable, I think you should probably just say no, you won't help him access those. And leave it at that. Sometimes it's ok just to say no. We don't always have to explain ourselves. He'll probably drop it.

    If you're comfortable enough, you could say that if he ever wants to talk about stopping porn, he could come to you about it. He's a grown man, though, and you can only shape his behavior in these areas so much.

    You should protect yourself, if there isn't trust. Be a model of good behavior without lecturing him on it, and maybe he'll open up to you first.

    You have to come and see how it is here. I'm not comfortable with him at all. Being uncomfortable with each other is usual here in this family.
    But I do say, It can be helpful for me as well. As it was till here. I actually felt very bad about the conversaion and it encouraged me to avoid PMO more than before.

    I am a liberal and I don't lecture people much. If someone says I want to kill myself, I probably wouldn't prevent him. He can decide himself. But this porn thing, It's overwhelming for me to allow someone become an addict of it.
