It's all about perspective

Before I decided to quit porn, I had normalized it. By normalize, I mean that I convinced myself that porn was real- real emotions, real orgasms, real pleasure.

Then I began putting things in perspective.

Porn is one of the most disingenuous things man has ever created. The people you are watching on your computer screen are having sex for money. Most of them aren't enjoying it; the "pleasure" you see in their faces, the moaning, and the body spasms are all fake. They are actors. There is no love or relationship to what they are doing. Stop convincing yourself that it is real or even remotely genuine.

Pornography is like being in a relationship with a prostitute. She's convinced you that she loves you, but the sex you have isn't genuine. She's just using you for your money. But it isn't money that porn steals away from you. No, it is much worse. Porn steals away every ounce of emotion in your mind. It sucks you dry of relationships and motivation. It eats away your happiness. If you don't decide to change, it leaves you beaten and bruised on the side of the road and then you ask yourself

"Why?"

Was it worth it? Those ten second feelings of ecstasy? The brief moment of relief which quickly turns to shame and guilt, pressing you down into an abyss of depression and anger?

It isn't worth it guys. Put porn in perspective. It's nothing but a bully.

 

Yup. That's all it is. Just filth.
