Why is porn difficult to break?
Watching porn makes releases dopamine, a chemical released by your brain in order makes you happy, it actually makes you feel satisfied. This creates a loop whenever you feel satisfied after watching porn. This makes you come back again and again into porn, which makes you feel that you are addicted. And watching more porn makes you masturbate more. And you get what you repeat, the more you repeat these actions, the more you will face the consequences in your future. And if you masturbate daily, the results will surely compound, I truly tell you that, you can only enjoy the benefits of your bad habits only for the short term. The cost of good habits is in the present, the cost of bad habits is in the future. And research has found these negative feelings like anger, anxiety, loneliness make you more addicted to porn, these negative feelings are the root cause of your distractions, so you have to remove that root cause. And being lonely is more dangerous than overeating. And porn, these days is most easily accessible to people all over the world who have the internet. Watching porn satisfies your desire to have sex. And these are the reasons why porn is so difficult to break.
How are you addicted?
At some point, you are addicted to something in your age, whether it could be a potato chip, a young teenager is addicted or it could be an old man, who is addicted to smoking, due to the constant stress of his life problems. The negative feelings like anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness make you more dissatisfied, to make you satisfied, you are working on yourself for short-term benefits, this totally sucks. You are watching porn because it solves your need in some way, that's why you need them. And this makes you hooked. And your brain is always wanting for an immediate reward. Some learn the techniques to overcome their anxiety by going for a run. Some learn the techniques to overcome their immediate anger by smoking a cigarette, as these actions repeat, become hard to remove, are stored whenever you repeat, making the behavior automatic. And this is how you are addicted to your addiction.
Advantages of quitting porn:
First of all, you get your time saved, people who watch porn spend hours of time, schedule a time, like any other drug. Watching porn makes you away from your society, the more you watch it, the more it will damage your life. Your energy to watch porn gets saved for other activities like exercising, jogging, etc. If you quit porn, you will become more productive. You can sense that you are free. You will be happier than before. You will have a very good relationship with your lifemate if you are willing to quit porn. And a task for you right now, note down the benefits of quitting any of your bad habits, make it feel unattractive by assigning them with negative thoughts, experiences, repeat this till your habit becomes unattractive, you have to assign them with negative experiences, you can use phrases like, "Oh, watching porn will make me less productive." or "It will separate me from my life partner", so on. Practice this simple skill, you can easily make your bad habits unattractive. Here is a link to know more about the 100 benefits of quitting porn.
How to Quit Porn:
Quitting porn is not so easy. And I have shared the best ways which I know to quit it. And the first step is to make sure to make it invisible from your environment. If you watch porn using your phone, then throw away your phone or install a porn blocker application like BlockerX, it is an app that helps make porn inaccessible on your device. That's what Matthew 18:8 says, "If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire." Mark 9:43."
And the second way, I know is to punish yourself, it may sound harsh, but I promise you this would help you. You can even set accountability partner with someone in your family to watch your behavior. If you don't have any accountability partner, then don't worry. I know an app that helps you to set an accountability partner, by just adding their email address in the Accountability Partner's section, you can set totally 2 accountability partners, they would receive the keywords you search on the internet, your daily progress report through email. And the name of the app is LeadMeNot.
