I'm having trouble pinpointing a reason to quit porn. Then again, I can list reasons why it bugs me that I use it nearly everyday:
- It sucks the energy out of me, making productive work hard to do (if I accomplish much at all after a slip)
- It wastes time in a selfish, unproductive, lame way.
- If not today, then one day, it ALWAYS leads me back to my true problem area: chat rooms.
- For no reason at all, without even being aroused or anything, I'll get bored and just decide to fill my time with porn. I'm not even aroused! I force myself to get aroused and do the act. I guess porn is so ingrained in my system that a day without it is hard to get through, so I make sure I get it in there - even if I'm not in the mood, so to speak.
Okay, so maybe I can find a reason to quit. But those above don't seem to be strong enough as they've been with me for years now. Porn bothers me, for some reason, I'm not quite sure why. Even if I have a productive day anyway, even if I don't waste much time on the stuff, even if I don't go into a chat room - just something about porn bothers me. It feels wrong, or at least, very lonely, stupid, and lame.
All i could say here is all the reasons you've mentioned are strong enough for you to consider quitting porn.You get worried about it and you are looking for answers by going through these non porn forum. You would ruin your entire life if you keep on looking for reasons when you have loads of them and you consider them insignificant. Please get a grip you have a whole new world waiting for you and i an sure you can do better than what you are doing right now.
I agree with karen here, a problem is a problem and you don't have to pin point to any reasoning whether it is strong enough. You should give a thought to planning different strategies on how you go about quitting porn without giving it a second thought.
Just think about what it incorporates I mean the porn Industry, just think about those little girls and boys who get exploited on a daily basis. Violated women and misled men. By any means this is not something we want to be supporting.
hi, here i found some thing for you i have it posted in general discussion as well, please read
Porn Addiction, 10 Reasons Why To Quit Today
1. Loving face-to-face relationships
You will never be satisfied with porn. It is important to touch, to laugh with and be with friends, family and lovers. Porn addiction leaves you with a hole in your soul. Real relationships will fill that hole.
2. Self-Respect
Are you tired of promising yourself you’ll quit porn only to find yourself dying for your next fix? Porn rewards you with self-hatred. Imagine waking up in the morning loving the way you feel about yourself and happy to be alive. That’s the life you deserve.
3. Self-Image
You probably secretly feel you are a scum bag or a big time loser. Your porn addiction will make you feel lower than a snake’s belly. Living in the shadows of addiction makes you feel unloved, unwanted and unworthy. You are none of those. You are just as deserving and loving as anybody else on the planet.
4. Fulfilled Dreams
Tess Marshall has a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a specialty in addictions. She has over 15 years of study, research and experience in empowering people to grow personally, build authentic relationships, and finding freedom from addiction.
5. Achievement of Something Great
Who do you admire? Do you have a hero or heroine? You are capable of making a difference in the world. The fastest way to get off the pity pot is by helpig someone. Forget about your selfish needs. Go make a difference in the world!
6. Romance
Porn lacks romance. When you have a healthy partnership you can romance each other. Romance is filled with kind deeds, loving thoughts and actions, and everyday pleasure and surprise. Do you really want to miss out on that?
7. Stress Free Living
When you aren?t sneaking around, lying about where and what you’ve been doing life becomes calm and peaceful. You don’t have to constantly worry about being found out.
8. Less Debt
Porn may start out free but once hooked you spend money. The porn industry gets richer and you get poorer. Think about one thing you would like to own. Would you be willing to let go of your porn addiction to get it?
9. Time
How much time does your addiction steal from you, your friends and family? What area of your life suffers the most because you don’t give it your undivided attention? Freedom from porn can change that.
10. Your Life
The porn industry owns you. If you don’t believe me try quitting. You probably have hundreds of times. You are 100% responsible for your life Don’t waste it. You deserve the best life has to offer. Go get it!
Don't ever go by what you learn on the porn sites what they say is to promote the viewership of their site...MB may not be as bad when you consider your health but psychologically you get addicted and becoming a solosexual means you may ignore your spouse that is one hell of a reason for dispute and allthese things are to be considered..you otta have a matured view over porn or no porn at all.
All the reasons that you find here in this thread should be a motivation enough for anyone. I would like to join me as i am battling problem with mb and i am quitting from today so joinn me start counting the days and extend it to months and years..
