So while surfing the web and other various forums, I came across this.

And for those who are interested in seeing, the 6 part video series of what goes on in your brain.

It basically tells you about how porn has changed because of the internet and I have followed the advice here. So far, I have not watched porn for 42 or so during my first run. I'm on my second attempt and I'm 20 days strong so far. It's pretty difficult but it is doable. My goal is to try to stay off until at the very least I am done with SM2011, but I don't think I will want to go back by then.

There's no religious stuff involved here, just neurophysiology (function of the brain).

What do you guys and girls think?

as someone who spent my teenage years masturbating to porn 1-4 hours a day, at least I got to train endurance,
I can tell you when it comes to both meeting woman and connecting with woman on a long term basis even any amount of porn is no good. If you can limit your porn intake then congratulations because I know when I get going I get going lol. I have no polemic against pornography at all except in my experience and the experience of all my friends-cutting out porn does wonders-
Porn trains your mind to appreciate the roughness of fantasy over real sexual reality and trains your body to feel false sexuality as real turn on which cause an AVERSION in woman and a gradual numbing of your own sex drive and appreciation of real woman-now a little porn now and then isn't going to hurt but I would say go 1 week with out porn and see if you really need it. The thing that I feel nobody realizes is alot of those girls on camera-really don't want to be there-or they want to be there for the wrong reasons-hatred of parents and wanting to get back at them, desperate or wanting/needing easy money, or wanting to fluant their pseudo sexuality--not all porn is like this but the majority I would say is and people are essentially jerking off to these woman's pain and issues-and if you believe in the inter-connectedness of oneself to life as a whole that means your training your sexuality away from any heart center and taking in anger, despair, sadness, and false pride-now I'm gonna go wack one out online and tell you first hand if my theory is correct.

I read this before and yeah I need to cut down my porn viewing. Sometimes I just couldn't help it. I'll try to stay away from them again.

All this "your brain on porn" is bullcrap. I used to watch lots of porn. Even some messed up ones. All it does is influence your behaviour in how you could have sex and with who. For some it could be healthy for others it could make you do things you never thought you would. I cut porn for the sole reason of spending less time on it cause my life was being carried away from it. I havent watched porn in 2 years. I don't see any benefit except being less interested in older women and having time in my life again for other things. Quitting porn was easy, you just have to make a decision is all.
