Sponsored by the porn industry...?

we live in an oversexed society. Thats probably "all": the porn - industry is an result of this excessive focus on sex. And since it produces our image of how sex is supposed to be, you`ll find it again, where the idea of sex-sells is applied. My guess is that 80 percent of all humans on this earth see more sex in their life then practice it. Shall say Sex is mainly something we 1. dont have and 2. consume as a picture. This picture is then reproduced over and over again, even without indirect participation of the porn-industry. I guess they actually dont need to advertise what they sell, people anyway google for it

 

Alcohol, cigarettes, betting are everywhere. Everything is overly sexualised. Fortunately I never smoked, so it isn't something I ever had to quit. I've never really been into Alcohol either. For a short period of time I go addicted to gambling, but broke that. All these things seem to be everywhere. I agree with you. I think pornography should be made illegal everywhere. Same for cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. That's just my opinion obviously. But I'm sure people are unlikely to disagree with me about porn and gambling.

It's the same problem with Coca Cola. It's everywhere and as a result many default to that drink. That's another thing I quit.

 

The p industry doesn't need to push for more sex in advertising it's already the most powerful tool advertisers have so they would use it regardless.

 

^^^ exactly.

All you have to do is browse around on YouTube and look at how many of the thumbnails show a busty woman's cleavage. It's nothing more than clickbait to make sure you watch the video / read the article / etc. Sex is a universal, primal instinct that instantly gets everyone's attention. It will be used for marketing and sales until the end of time.

 

Yeah society is pretty filthy, it’s crazy

And do you think that Alan Carr book could be used for nofap? Never read it, but it’s about stopping addictions rifht

 

It's a good sign you see porn everywhere. Means that your brain becomes sensitive again.

And yes, sex is selling. It's everywhere. Nothing is without reason.
See the latest perfume advertisements? It's filling me with disgust now, where it triggered me in the past.

One benefit for those who wants to quit this habit:
Lots of opportunities to train your eyes and thoughts

 

So was Alan Carr’s book just learning on what makes you relapse in an addiction? So for nofap we just need to know what triggers us and how to avoid urges and temptation etc?

What from the book do you think you found very useful that can be used to fight pmo?

 

Oh wow, the only reason we relapse is because we want to stop the withdrawal symptoms, that kinda puts things into perspective a bit. Thanks! I think that will be helpful

 

Awww why you gotta tell me that, I’ll just pretend I didn’t read what you said and remain ignorant, ignorance is bliss after all ))

 

Haha there’s always two sides to a debate, but it also depends on the situation and context, if being ignorant will help me get along better considering everything else, then ignorance it is

 

Although, I do think men "create" alot of the stress of PMO.
They Need the release. Or so they think.
That's why lots of PAs are cranky and withdrawn, especially when they "need a fix" or it comes time to get "it in with themselves"
It's the brain fog, sure, but like any other addiction, you do it to yourself by putting yourself in a situation where you think you have to have the next one and when you can't get it... Freaking out about it.
It's the "gotta get the dopamine" mechanism (which is funny because, you already got it, essentially lol)
Anyways, just my thoughts
