It blocks what I don’t want to see. Porn has made me feel depressed, and unwanted, among other negative emotions. The temporary satisfaction is not worth the psychological harm that watching pornography instills upon the viewer. It sexualizes and demeans women and men alike, gives a false idea of making love, and it influences people to desire sex before marriage, seeing it as what holds the relationship together instead of communicating. It causes people not to desire a commitment, and although not a direct form of the act, is quite similar, if not the same, as cheating. Watching porn deprives your partner of intimacy to satisfy your own selfish needs. If you are single and watch it, it has a tendency to lower your self-esteem, and for guys, it lowers our testosterone, causing you not to build as much muscle as you could without watching it. Bottom line is, we are what we feed ourselves. What we take in is what influences our life, our decisions, and our desires. It’s a difficult struggle to overcome, but it’s not impossible. It all starts in your thoughts. No one can control your thoughts but you.
