    Porn hasn’t ruined you, just made you dirty.

    imagine a really dirty floor… now clean it, now the floor is good again

    same can happen with you, if you want it bad enough
     
  3. I used to be so much more romantic in my younger years, PMO and trauma have really hurt that side of me, sadly.
    but I can feel it coming back sometimes....I just gotta keep sober and heal. It's a process.
    I miss that "butterflies in the stomach, heart racing" feeling of a crush / romantic love.
    I feel so sad for teens these days warped by PMO at such a young age. The innocent love and exploration of romance at a young age was so healing for me when I had hard times at home. With P industry, the youth aren't experiencing that anywhere near as much, and it makes me sad. I hope it can still happen for people. I know it will happen for me again, i see the seeds of it in my recovery

    It's the society that changed that much. Current teen boys/girls find themselves on some disco-pub/party and simply ask: "Do you want to kiss me?" without any problem/awe and these teens are 13-14 yo, quite unlikely they're already all PMO addicted.
    This boldness also leads them to make absurd decisions, such as trusting perfect strangers (and risking all the problems involved). Something that for the 80s generation would be unbelievable.

    Yes.

    because all I watched for porn were extreme group scenarios, and I started going to certain sites to engage in that behavior in real life. I want to want to love romantically but haven’t had that drive for a girl in a while

    I hope with enough time I’ll heal
     
  6. It absolutely will. Just takes time and hard work for sobriety
