I realized that my addiction to pornography was taking something away from my future wife, even before I knew her. I had to understand that I was truly depriving her of something important.

The impact of porn addiction is that it can lead to a broken view of intimacy, objectifying others and reducing them to mere commodities for personal gratification.

Pornography addiction can have a profound impact on young men, leading to unrealistic expectations about sex and intimacy, and often resulting in anxiety during real-life encounters.

The dangers of pornography stem from its ability to provide immediate gratification without the effort required in real relationships, leading to a lack of personal growth and fulfillment, and can also lead to pathological forms that undermine psychological integrity and societal structures.

Porn addiction is particularly hard to overcome because it is a private struggle, and society doesn't view it as a serious addiction like others.

Addressing pornography addiction requires reducing the associated shame and stigma, allowing individuals to seek help and support without fear of judgment.

The journey to overcoming addiction involves recognizing that you can't replace a problem with another distraction. You have to confront the issue directly.

Young people exposed to pornography experience a disconnect in sexual experiences, as pornography promotes arousal from watching others rather than engaging in intimate communication and presence with a partner.

The relationship between pornography and addiction is similar to that of processed foods; both can lead to a cycle of seeking more stimulation without true satisfaction.
