Porn Will Kill You

Yes, porn kills everything good in a man. By the end of this I will change your mind on porn and get you to live that fulfilling life you’ve always wanted. I’m going to show you what porn does to your brain, how the world turns yourself against you, and how to escape this fake nonsense. Let’s get started.

What porn does to your mind.

The key driver of plastic change is the reward centre, which triggers when we accomplish a goal. A release of an important neurotransmitter called dopamine is released when we do something rewarding like accomplishing a goal or completing something. We also release dopamine at moments of sexual excitement. Now while you watch porn, your brain is constantly producing dopamine as you watch. But at what cost? We’re now producing “cheap dopamine” that we didn’t earn. Remember, dopamine is released as a reward for something we accomplish. Now that porn is so accessible, when we watch it, it destroys our reward centre by producing dopamine that we haven’t earned. Over time you will become addicted to these dopaminergic hits, and you will build a tolerance to it, destroying yourself in the process.

Keeping your seed

Whether you’re addicted to porn or not. You will see a major shift in mentality when practice semen retention. For those of you who say masturbating is good for you. It’s not, stop doing it. It will lead you to put off your goals. You will slowly become dissatisfied with life and not be the best version of yourself. Think objectively about the power of the seed a man possesses. You reading this at one point used to be a seed. Look at you now, a full grown human with a brain that has the power to achieve anything started as a microscopic seed. Keep this seed inside you and it will power you to achieve your greatest goals. It provides energy (think about your energy levels after ejaculation), it provides confidence. And most of all, it keeps you horny (hungry to do things).

Quitting porn changed my life.

Now to give you examples of myself. I’ve been porn free for roughly a year now. And boy have I never felt better: I’m stronger and fitter than ever, my mental health has never been better, my mind has never been clearer, my goals are being achieved, I’ve never felt this confident around women, I’ve been successful with women more than I ever have, the list goes on. The biggest one is my anxiety, I used to have crippling anxiety until I read about what porn does to you. It was one Neuroscience class that I was in last year, my teacher was explaining the power of dopamine that I had to look it up for myself and understand it more. I quickly learned the link between cheap dopamine and porn, and that was it. I had to stop. My anxiety is non-existent. I still have high-anxiety situations, but it’s not general anxiety just on the daily worrying about life.

How to quit porn

For me it was a light switch I turned off. I decided porn is not an option anymore. Now I can’t say I don’t have urges or times where I see something online and I can literally feel the dopamine bring released into my brain. It feels great, but I have my own personal procedure in place when these occur. You need to find what works for you. But every time I see ‘soft porn’ (woman sucking on a lollipop in a sexual way for example). My first instinct is to turn it off or scroll away. I’m not interested in this content, but the reality is there’s no escaping it. The internet knows you better than you know yourself and the demon will always be trying to control you. Porn and masturbation are simply not an option for me. What’s the solution, go find a girlfriend.

I was embarrassed to be watching porn continually, imagine telling a girl or your parents you watch porn everyday, I promise you your ancestors didn’t have the urge to masturbate daily. They lived fulfilling lives and built a family, that’s why you exist today.

At the end of the day, I want you to quit watching porn for yourself and no one else. If you need help, it’s out there. If you want help, reach out. I can only provide you this information, but I cannot instill it in you, I can only instill it in myself. But if I can do it, I know you can too. More to come.
