Porn destroyed my life.

Have you started seeing signs of decline in your sexual health, mental health and physical health?

Do not get it twisted, porn and masturbation addiction if undefeated will continue to plague you, destroy your mental state, degrade your health and destroy your sexual health. It will make living a hell of a time for you.

Let me make a list of the things this addiction has brought on me. I’m 36

Physical.

1. Heart disease. Yes, spending hours and hours you should be using to sleep and rest your body to watch porn will have a toll on your heart. Your blood pressure will always be elevated due to the inflammation caused from not giving your body proper rest. In late 20s there will be chest pains. You will see nerve, vein, and kidney damage illnesses possibly around mid 30s.

2. Degrading academic performance. Due to lack of concentration and cognitive abilities. Impaired ability to speak fluently and think fast. I’m sure even teenagers here can share their own experiences on this one.

3. Bone weakness and teeth misalignment.

4. Gassy stomach and digestive problems. Very bad smelling poop (indigestion) and irregular bowel movement.

5. Unhealthy hair and hair lose. Im black and my hair is curly, anytime I move comb through my hair, hair falls all over. My supposed black and shiny hair is brownish and unhealthy now.

6. Vision impairment.

7.General irritability and Physical weakness. It feels as though you are half dead. Blood circulation problem due to inability to get oxygen to all part of the body. Numbness and tingling, Tinnitus etc

8. Physically looking deformed. When you are always hiding inside and masturbating to porn, you will soon appear sickly and out of shape.

9. Weak immune system. Weak body is the result of weak immune system.

10. Dark circles around eyes and chronic fatigue.

Emotional

1. Cannot really show romantic affection.

2. Confidence plunged to rock bottom.

3. Feeling sad, suicidal and depressed all the time. Sometimes I feel like I wish I was not on this earth in the first place.

4. Quick to be angry and impatient.

5. Inferiority complex and Low self esteem with no motivational drive to go out there to conquer the world.

Also, there are many people who will come and dispute this information forgetting everyone is different. Also, if I abstain for like a month I feel very good, strong and most of the symptoms vanish. That my proof. That luxury is getting weaker as I age.

PMO itself doesn’t have a direct connection but if you use all your energy and time doing it yes it will cause trouble. I used to watch porn and masturbate all night, give myself no sleep and go to work the next day. Too much of everything is bad. Hours and hours of porn and masturbation is not good for the body.

I have gotten to that level where a few minutes of just looking at porn will make the next two days a life of palpitations, anxiety and depression. I have finally decided to move away and see if life is going to change and if my health will be improved.

Kindly add your experience to the list

 

I have been caught in that circle for more than 20 years. All I can tell you is that you must get external help (therapist, medical professional, someone you can confide in etc) and fight back. All addictions become weaker when someone you love steps in to help you. I’m giving you this advice because I should have done this 20 years ago. If you don’t, you will be here still posting regret posts 20 years down the line.
