How big is P problem globally? Really

If a country has an Internet connection, it most likely has a porn problem.

 

Not everyone, no. But it depends on what porn is defined as. You can argue that some bouts of passionate kissing (like the ones on the bed, etc) on a TV series can fit into a type of softcore category.

 

My theory is that porn is problem for everybody who did not have sexual relationship properly from teenage years. If they had, they learnt to be in relationship, get sexual release from there, and even if they broke up and fapped half year before another relationship, they have already their brain programmed correctly and that fapping time is too short to develop an addiction.
On contrary if somebody just fapped through their teenage years that plays crucial role in their psychical development, their programmed their brains for fapping and created these wrong brain pathways that end they just reinforced it year after year. This is particularly true in the age of high speed porn with various kinkys that fuckes you up exponentially faster.

 

I think porn use is just as prevalent if not more so than alcohol use. Basically all the guys I know use porn and most talk about it quite openly. As far as addiction goes, I really wouldn't know since none of these people ever admitted to being addicted. But if I had to guess, I'd say that most of them are and don't realize it. I doubt that we'll ever know since porn addiction is something that most people will suffer with in silence due to the embarrassment of being found out.

 

How much of a problem is porn globally? Who knows. I’m sure in 1st world countries where people start threads about their problems which include: “I was rejected by a girl” or “uni is hell” probably have a bigger porn problem than 3rd world countries who’s threads (if they had a reliable internet connection) would read: “day 3 of no food” or “fresh water supply is gone, again” or “drone strike took out my fiends house by mistake”.

 

hey there,
i believe a lot of people out there watch porn. now there is a line between someone who does it random and someone who is addicted to it.
i believe most of us here on this platform had something happening to them in their early life, something they couldn´t process until now. something like a trauma (like you mentioned). people suffering from trauma are a lot more likely to fall into addiction. i´m basically addicted to porn, alcohol, video games, movies. it´s a reaction of our mind, to not process the painful things we have been through. therefor we look for distraction. but there is only so much we can take.

 

Very same story too mine, I have kissed several girls in my teenage years and was in only one relationship for 3 weeks without sex but that was it. My real life and experience started only when I was 25 years. However I think that at that time of that relationship (20 years old) I was still alright despite couple years of fapping already, the worst addiction came0 imho in the next 5 years afterwards.

 

Honestly, it's not. I think it's going to rise throughout the years and typically young kids will be more prone t watch it bc irresponsible parents are buying more 8 year olds tablets and smartphones.

But everything "bad" is fine in moderation (drugs, alcohol, porn, cigs, tv, junk food, etc). We just overused porn and that's when it becomes a problem.

 

I read on ybop, however, 30% of young men have pied. I don't really believe it, but something to think of

 

For real though. It's humbling to admit that you dont have your shit together and I think thats why there are so many people that personify porn into this huge demon that society made them jerk to. It's easier than admitting you fucked up, didnt show proper self control and developed a bad habit. I'm quitting porn because there is nothing positive about it, there is def some negative spiritual consequenses and I've used it as crutch in the past. I've seen some real extreme threads where poster go the fuck off about banning porn like the Pope getting people hyped for the crusades.

I can count the number of drinks I had on my hands this year so alcohol abuse is no issue for me but its the worst think in the world for some people like some people can jerk in on occasion and not have an issue but not many of us.

People develop bad habits and they have the option to either let these habits destroy them or quit and improve their quality of life. Some people will have problems with food, drugs, porn or TV like you mentioned. You cant make people live healthy or do what they are supposed to do so you shouldn't go all crazy. If you think porn is bad, quit jerking off, donate to nofap and or support some anti porn movement and leave it at that. Theres no need to make this into a bigger deal than it is.

 

Really I don't think it's that new. Centries and centuries ago there were paintings of naked women. Nowadays we can such paintings art. While it's true P tube sites have given us faster access to any kind of P this is not new.

But the availability doesn't necessarily make it a problem, it's how people respond to it. Lust isn't what drives a PA, a lack of connection and shame is what drives PA.

 

I hate porn more than alot of things, it fucked me up. But the most important thing is to keep moving forward.

If you keep looking behind you, you'll trip going forward..

I have a problem more now of fantasies of relationships and HEALTHY sexual encounters. However, these are not real and am working on that. Sometimes I'll get a thought, not an urge, of porn still lodged in my brain and it's annoying. Porn to me now seems so fake (which it is) and kinda outlandish. Porn is a kid's game, and it's time to move on.

That being said, I do believe in free speach and the ability to express yourself, so, sadly I don't think it should be against the law or anything. But we should have outreach programs, making the effects of PIED, etc more mainstream. Have more publicity for YBOP & NoFap

 

Previous generations have had pornography, but it was so much harder to get. Just think if the only pornography you had came from sticky magazine. And just think if you had to go to some sketchy store downtown to get and risk being seen by someone you know; or if you order your magazines through the mail, you ran the risk of someone in your family discovering your dirty mags. So, maybe you built up a stack of mags that you look at in the garage or whatever. The point is that the internet has made it so much easier to tap into an endless array of pornography. It's 24/7/nonstop. So, you practically have to use web with blinders on to avoid it.
