As a millennial in my 30s, this was an interesting watch. I don’t consider myself an addict in any way as I only consider myself to be in the second stage of regular consumption. I only sometimes consume amateur pr0n before bed to destress and go to sleep. My first encounter with NSFW content was my fathers Playboy, Huslter and other magazines stash in the 90s and then eventually with the advent of the Internet, I saw the pr0n websites. To me, it had always looked fake, graphic, and a little too shocking for shocking sake. Although with how long I’ve been alive my kinks and desires have changed and shifted, I still seem to remain within the same realm of kinks. I have boundaries and things i absolutely couldn’t get into. I have to admit I have always been curious about the recent trend in the last decade of people swearing off of porn, going no fap, or doing semen retention. My anecdotal guess is that most of it is Gen Zers and younger who’s first encounter with NSFW content was Internet porn and at a young age when you have nothing to really do but be on the Internet all the time then of course I could see how going from casual viewing can turn into an addiction. For me, it was hard to imagine why all of these people are acting like this was a mass epidemic of an issue, but after seeing these stages so clearly, and knowing where I fall in it, I have a greater understanding. thank you.

Update over my mentality:
I think I am growing more attached to my so-called 'crush's friend'. I am now highly doubtful of me if my crush is my supposed crush's friend or my supposed crush. I am also more comfortable with giving 'her' compliments than my supposed crush. I also taught her a song on the Casio and during dissmissal I complimented her with If you can learn now you will go forward in life. About my dream. It is actually from real life. A day ago a new boy started to come to the tution classes I go, Hence, in my dream I found that a new boy came to school just like my other friend(male, He looked like my another friend(male) who is a member of the singing group. He was very chill so I befriended him in my dream and started just talking. I now start seeing a pattern in my dream. My dreams are all related to school except that one dream in which I ordered a Big Mac and a bottle of Prime from McDonald's. This video didn't help me either cause I am not addicted to that disgusting stuff. I like your Dating Ins And Outs podcast more please continue it. I hope I will get help from your community more.

After my initial exposure at a young age my addiction progressed further overtime. It hadn't gotten too bad but I knew that I wanted to stop but didn't know how to. Trying the typical stopping for as long as I can would never work as I'd usually relapse, but in the past year, I've somewhat forgotten about it. I think being in many friendships helped with that. It's mostly the guilt and embarrassment I'd feel after I was done and I felt horrible about it. I would think to myself how can I do such a disgusting thing and continue on talking to my friends, interacting with people, and just being myself it wasn't healthy and I knew that, so because of that I stopped.
They don't know it, and let's be honest here they never will but they were the turning point that helped me overcome this addiction. I have relapsed a few times but overall everything has gotten so much better, especially with how I feel about myself and i usually only find myself having a relapse every 1-2 months

This addiction has ruined most of my teenage years and half my adult years even though I'm 22. I got addicted ever since highschool and it made me toxic towards women.
After my brain got bored of porn i found hentai which is way way worse than porn. After that my addiction made go into some pretty dark stuff that honestly made me question my life.
You probably know what dark stuff it is but that made me realise i have a problem because i was looking that stuff. This addiction is no joke and i wish I've never discovered porn maybe my life would've been happier, but all i can do now is move forward and make myself happier.
My advice to any guy/woman whose addicted to porn/hentai quit now before you'll watch something you'll never come back from like i did. I'm trying my best to beat this addicted even though I've gone too far i won't let this addiction make me waste my life even further.

This is something that has to be taken more seriously even if it is embarrassing to admit. I am a porn addict myself and I've gotten to the point that I don't really excited being with a girl. I've had it happen a few times now. Being shown the stages, I'm in pretty deep. I don't get as aroused as I used to when seeing a naked woman; some of the NFSW twitter posts don't even phase me now. Being intimate with someone doesn't get farther than kissing for me unless I get some help and I do not want that. I've been watching since 2018 and I was in a relationship; that ended in 2020 and it was just 4 straight years of watching porn. I haven't gotten to the crisis stage but I am definitely desensitized. I hope I can kick this addiction for the sake of being able to be intimate with someone again.

I don't relate to the addiction. I barely consider myself stage 2 and I've been watching it for over 25 years now. It's just a tool to me. I maybe spend 10 minutes or so once a week, if that. I knock one out and post-nut clarity kicks in. It's never impacted my dad-to-day life, I've never found it hard to resist, never had to seek more extreme content for the same effect, etc. I don't feel like it's had any impact on my real life relationship struggles either. I never watched porn while I was in a relationship. Every single woman I've ever dated has cheated on me, though. Honestly, even if I was addicted like some people get, I would probably still think it's a safer option than actual relationships. Real relationships almost destroyed my life, and I can't say the same about porn.

Ok, now that i'm encouraged enough
I share the same fetish as Quentin Tarantino.
And that regularily takes me to search for non explicit (sometimes explicit) videos/images that involve that same body part
But now that i think more about it i search for that content usually when i'm stressed (wich is almost all the time and all because of things i feel i can't control in my life, like the presence of my toxic mother and the fact she ruined our lives, all because of her selfish desires)
But i've been feeling weird about some thoughts lately and i don't know what to do
I don't wanna share this with my family cause they wouldn't understand
What should i do

Hello, I'm a psychology student and I just want to specify few things. You present symptoms as stages or as an order from which they should appear but life is way more complex. Some people can feel desire to watch more and more intense types of porn eventhough they've just recently started watching porn. They can also reach this point of intensity without losing their job. It's important to clarify these things since addiction can manifest itself in many ways. The main thing to keep in mind is to ask yourself if you are suffering from watching porn or if you feel like it has an impact on the other spheres of your life.

Watching porn is not bad for you as long as you do it with moderation. I've never felt the need to watch porn 24/7 nor has it ever interfered with my daily life. My 1st exposure to porn was when I was 12 years old and didn't really care about it too much. I find myself watching porn when I'm single and have to masturbate. When I'm in a healthy relationship then there's no need to masturbate to porn. I know many couples that watch porn together and again it's healthy when it doesn't become obsessive. I do realize that there are men and women that are addicted to porn and I wish them the best of luck.

I don’t know if I’m still addicted but I definitely was when I was younger. Here’s my advice for anyone struggling:
Thinking you’re a monster for struggling with it only makes it worse. Acceptance and forgiveness to yourself comes first. Be kind. Find ways to introduce other healthier habits instead slowly. Try to understand what are the triggers that cause you to watch. Don’t get rid of porn, reduce it and start to enjoy it then make the change to simply consume it less over time
This isn’t a guarantee, but a start. I believe in you and I hope you believe in you too

I know now I might be around stage 1 or 2 in terms of this content, but back in middle school and even highschool I was around stage 4 and once I entered year 1 in college I then started to weve away from this kind of stuff. Sure it's interesting once in a while to think of that kind of content, but taking it to the level of doing this thing anywhere is problematic in the long-run. I think I got lucky to get away from this addiction mainly since I don't look for hardcore things, but rather more wholesome stuff, but I whish the best of luck for those who try to cut this out of their lives.

i sincerely would rather take the p0rn than a relationship. i go online, find something ive viewed before so i know its good, take care of business, and go on with my day. i trust the women in p0rn, theyre people doing a job for money, its that simple. romantic relationships offer nothing to me as a man that isnt easily available from p0rn for literal free. my life is just fine on it because i stay single. i could see why dating or marrying and watching would be an issue, i dont have that issue

We're all here for the same reason. Society has failed us over and over and over to the point we've resorted to something that actually makes us feel whole. It doesn't make us whole but it makes us feel whole.
Some of us want to overcome and I applaud them for that. I truly hope you overcome this.
While others like me have accepted that it's too late and there's no turning back. That we'll just be another victim statistic for society to laugh at.

Guys hear me out, I think in order to access social media and porn sites you have to upload a photo of your government ID and if you don't have a government ID, you shouldn't be using these sites. This way, no one has to worry about their child not having a phone for emergencies, but they also don't have to worry about their child being introduced to all the toxicity of the internet.

It's true that I watch porn regularly but the only reason for the sake of prevent suffering ejaculating and there're so many days don't even provoke myself to masturbate and if I accidently do, then I've to feel sorry and watch porn just for the sake of finish ejaculating. Normally, after ejaculating I'm closing those web pages because I'm like wanna vomit because so boring.

You know. At first i thought there was nothing wrong with cinsuming porn. Even at a younger age. And through out the years, i consumed more and more porn. Until i became twenty years old and realized, oh god. What's wrong with me. How did i let this happen to me, i feel like i done permanent damage to myself. I wonder even when i manage to stop. Will i ever get better
