ok, I dont know what these people are talking about. Let me explain something to you. When you look at porn you feel something don't you. It's a chemical release. Its called dopamine. dopamine is the same chemical released that causes people to get high from drugs. repetitive exposure to this can become addictive. for example. Adrenaline interacts with dopamine and people can get addicted to adrenaline the same way. so here is what I am saying talk to someone you know and can trust about it. the main thing is to get it out in the open. x3watch.com has a free accountability partner program that we use. http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/course/has a 60 day online course that can help. but it will not work unless you have an acountability partner that can hold you to it. so they say porn isn't bad. let me tell you why I think porn is bad. #1. it builds an unrealistic view of love. society tells us through TV and people we know that sex is the way to be happy. well let me tell you thats BS. sex is the best part of a marriage but it is not the most important thing in a relationship. sex will never hold two people togeather and it will not make you "happy". #2. being able to enjoy the person you are with makes sex "magical" thinking of someone else takes that from you and them. it can ruin that bonding. there is something called sex addicts anonymous. it's full of people like you. "normal people" who have been snagged into this downward spiraling system of porn. DONT LET IT RUIN YOU.

It has destroyed the trust that my parents had for me and made me build it up again over and over again. Many say that a hobby will help, and trust me it really does, do something with your community, school, sports. Because the more you are away from access to porn, the less you think about it. what i have also felt has helped is to make it hard, to struggle, to look at porn. For example, if you have pictures, hid them in a box, tape that box, then put it n another box, and tape that up tight. The thought of what you will have to do to get the porn will prevent you from doing it or at least make you think, "Do I really need to do this?Want to do this?" and take your time to think your way out. I have felt that there is another "voice" or someone egging me on to look at porn. This "voice" also started controlling other things in life so i couldn't think clearly. To stop this voice, talk out loud with it..maybe not in public ;) and tell it what you want, "STOP, I WON'T LISTEN TO YOU!!"and you will feel freed, to an extent. Just stay consistent and be ale to manipulate your cravings and plan your day based on that. Hope everything goes well and yours and my porn days are finally over. Best of luck!!

 Here are some links about porn. You might find them thought provoking. Just remeber to ask yourself 'what do I believe?' after you have read them, rather than just taking them as 'truth', or taking them as 'wrong'.http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/trends/n_9437/http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/%7Erjensen/freelance/pornography&cruelty.htm

Try going out and doing somethign to distract yourself( instead of constantly being in access of viewing it) go out, play a sport meet some friends, but stay away from the shops, the internet, and hidden things under your bed. The more you get out and have hobbies and have a life the less important it is to look at porn? Read a book even, do something that interests you that is besides sex and you might end up ok.
