Anyone else think watching porn is just emotionally abusing yourself

Porn is deffinetly a lie. We get addicted and it can destroy our lifes. It takes our energy for actual living and stay stuck masturbating to porn. I started at 12 but have no idea what I was doing to myself. Its promoted as healthy but i dont see it that way for me. It becomes unhealthy and it gives me too many side effects. When i dont watch porn or masturbate I feel much better about myself. It feels good for about 30 seconds and it destroys weeks of my life. It makes me feel less human and i dont want to do anything with my day. It doesn't take out stress it just makes it worse. But I am addicted to the feeling like a drug addict is addicted to the drug. Im only at 16 days. But I hope I could say I'm over it one day. But that might never be the case. So is better to accept I have a problem and avoid peeking at all cost.

 

Very good observation. What many addicts don't realize is that porn doesn't relieve your urges, it CAUSES them.
Yet, they turn to the very thing that causes their problems in order to solve them.

 

That is very true. Urges will always pass. Porn keeps the urges around for a longer time. We gotta use are energy for something better than porn or masturbation. Reading a book. Or just relaxing listening to pod cast really helps me. I give my brain time to get over it and learn something new.

 

Living in an illusion and being addicted from even bigger illusion... That just hurts.

 

Emotionally abuse in what way?
It's a sensual enjoyment, pleasure that gets out out of hand which can create emotional imbalances or porn can be an unhealthy way to deal with stress or emotional problems but I wouldn't say it's emotional abuse may be a way to deal with emotional abuse in some people will be more appropriate.

 

I've been an addict for 7 years and I'm still battling this addiction.
Never.
NEVER.
NEVER EVER have I felt good after watching porn. I can't remember one single time after PMO session when I would think to myself "This was really good!"
I guess that could speak for itself.

 

Porn is a mouse trap without chess, only poison. We literally Sacrifice our mental well-being, courage and much more and what do whe get from that? Porn gives u ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Porn doesn't fill the void it creates one Whenever you think about porn, see a filthy lifetime of spending eons behind a screen for the privilege of destroying yourself mentally and physically, a lifetime of slavery and hopelessness.
When we give up to an urge, we have Self sabotage ourselves
