I’ve seen several threads saying how the biggest benefit of quitting porn is just being porn free. Like that’s the main reason for quitting. And there is more or less not anything else to gain from it, at least from a few treads I’ve seen. I disagree, before when i used to consume porn every day. I was so tired and unmotivated. Just doing anything was a struggle, it felt like i had bricks on my back. Just cleaning and preparing food felt so heavy, really depressive symptoms.
Like any drug if you consume to much off it you will get tolerance for the drug. Fewer and fewer receptors for dopamine, endorphins etc. And in my opinion this affects everyday life. It really felt like this reflected in other things as well. Like nothing felt really pleasurable expect watching porn and even that felt meh until you find the perfect video which always got harder and harder to find because of the tolerance i had built up.
By quitting i feel more motivated, small things in life feels a lot more pleasurable. Just walking, or cleaning can feel good. Just like someone who is addicted to drugs everything else gets dull and boring when your not consuming it.
With Porn in my opinion it’s the same thing. It’s really dangerous and i think there should be more research and information to the public. It took me 15 years of porn to release it was preventing me from living my life to the fullest.
I am never going back.
