Super Short Summary
-
Your brain wasn’t designed to cope with internet porn use.
-
If you’ve watched porn, you’ve changed your brain.
-
The more you do porn the more you want to do it.
-
Over time you need more of it to get the same buzz, so you’ll either spend more time doing it, or need more extreme versions of it.
-
There is help, and it’s here.
OK so now you know why you’re doing it, and you know why it seems impossible to kick the habit and you may be asking yourself ‘Now what??’
Great question because it shows that you want to overcome this hugely addictive and (short term) pleasurable porn thing with who-knows-what long term effects….
Here’s what now.
As you dissolve the underlying root cause of your wacking to porn habit, the habit falls away and life goes on, leaving you free to have a better sex life (with yourself or others), more energy, and most importantly - feel better about yourself! Oh, and by the way, no willpower required … (willpower is, as you already know – an exhaustible resource and no match for that internet porn addiction. Or sex addiction. Or any addiction. Fact.).
If you really want to find out about the myriad of solutions that are (literally) at your very fingertips (some of which you can implement immediately, like right now, in the next few minutes) … go here.
