Anonymous Coward User ID: 16666745 Germany 05/25/2012 12:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to yourbrainonporn.com] - homepage Quoting: DigitalGoodtime [link to yourbrainonporn.com] Rebalancing the brain If this phenomenon is underlying your symptoms, you need to restore the sensitivity of your reward system, weaken addiction pathways, and strengthen executive control. We call this process "rebooting." The best way to reboot is to give your brain a rest from all intense artificial sexual stimulation— including porn, fantasizing about porn, chat rooms, erotic stories, surfing for pictures—until it bounces back to normal responsiveness. Those addicted to porn often find the rebooting process easier and faster when they drastically reduce or eliminate masturbation. This abstinence from masturbation & orgasm isn't a lifestyle - it's a temporary method for deepening recovery and reducing relapses into porn. Obviously, this process is initially very difficult. The brain can no longer rely on the artificially intense "fix" of dopamine (and other neurochemicals) associated with heavy porn use. In addition to desensitization, porn use strengthened nerve connections linking the short-term relief of Internet porn with any other trigger your brain associates with porn (sensitization). Triggers such as being home alone, sexy images, or stress and anxiety, can activate your brain's porn rut. The only way to weaken these subconscious links is to stop using (reinforcing) that brain pathway, and seek your mood medicine elsewhere. Eliminating porn and porn fantasy leads to rewiring and eventual weakening of sensitized pathways and cravings. The other half of the rewiring process involves strengthening your executive control, which resides in your frontal cortex (behind your forehead). Assessing risk, making long-range plans, and controlling impulses, are under the control of the frontal cortex. The term hypofrontality is often used when describing how addictions weaken and inhibit these self-control circuits. It takes time, and consistency, to return these circuits to full working order. Remember: Your freedom lies in balancing your brain. Then you can choose whether you will take your porn-arousal pathway or some healthier pathway. Needless to say, rebooting doesn't guarantee you can safely use Internet porn in the future. The human brain remains vulnerable to a downward spiral from too much of any intense stimulus, and your brain has a strong porn pathway, which will always be easy to reactivate. Many have stopped using porn and recovered their lives. So can you. [/snip] |

gus User ID: 17693343 Brazil 06/10/2012 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't watch porn and I dont masturbate for months now. It's my new lifestyle. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15829470 congratulations. If you have just taken this decision, please accept a few advises: The urge WILL keep coming back at you, every day and night. The monster will be lurking at the nearest corner, waiting for a chance to attack. Physical celibacy is NOT sufficient. One must also clean their mind from impure thoughts. I have NOT been able to eliminate all impure thoughts even though I have successfully tamed the physical habit. Understand that the mind is the most difficult to tame. Meditation is key. When the mind is tense, it is prone to lose control and shut down, leaving room for the body to take over. And do you know what the male body likes to do first hand when it is given freedom? Masturbate. I remember when it came to a point that I was so tense , with so much unused energy accumulated in my body, that I couldn't lose control for a SECOND otherwise the first impulse was to get to the computer and do you-know-what. This urge, is ridiculously strong. YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT IT COMPLETELY. You can only put the beast in a cage and keep watch for all eternity. I can tell you that much. Abstinence from sex is the quickest way to great power, truth and freedom. A man who's learned to control his senses (and his semen) is indeed a living god.

tides User ID: 22833060 Germany 08/29/2012 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am right now in a competition with myself. For 30 Days, I have to do several things every day plus not watching porn. I found this thread lateron. After reading this, I look forward to never watch porn in a common way. I broke up with my girlfriend, so I need some change in life (I like achieving new aims).I also must say that I am not an excessive porn consumer (max 20 minutes a day maybe, let there be some days without porn). In my relationship I never had problems with sex. I also didnt watch a lot porn and potency was never a problem. Still there is sometimes this urgent feeling (or boredom, especially in my post-GF time now) which leads to watching more porn. I think I fucked up myself, because I started watching porn with 13, which reached its peak with ~15-19, when I was collecting thousands of nude photos and clips in a way a man collecting stamps. This reward system really worked. Now that I did not watch porn for 5 days I can slowly feel some more positive tense. It's sometimes tricky because there is the devil in your brain saying "come on, watch porn, it's satisfying" and an angel saying "no, do anything but watching porn". Now when I am in this situation, I just do something else like playing the piano, eating chocolate or wanking off without porn. :P. I wonder what happens to my brain if I really stop watching porn for more a month or a year. Will it still say.. "come on watch porn before it's too late" ? I really don't know. At least I think that my view on women could sloooowly change. Can anyone tell from experience? |
