Stop Watching Porn: 5 Reasons to avoid Pornography
If you’re serious about becoming the best version of yourself then you need to stop watching porn. Porn is going to hold you back in your dating life and your overall mental state. If you’ve stopped watching porn already then you already know how beneficial it is to avoid it.
But if you’re one of the guys who watches porn and don’t have what you want in other areas of your life, you need to cut it out.
Porn is a modern epidemic
Porn is a modern epidemic that affects men across the world. Throughout most of human history there wasn’t video. Video is an incredible technology that has allowed us to communicate and share ideas like ever before. But recording sex and turning it into a massive industry has fucked up the lives of many young men.
Some guy watch porn and then still go out and date girls. It still negatively affects them and their state, but doesn’t hold them back completely. Other guys become obsessed with porn and their fantasies. They spend all their free time watching porn and feel like they can never do anything productive. It affects young guys in particular, but many men suffer from porn addictions.
Watching porn, and especially beating off + orgasming to it, which 95% of viewers of porn do, is bad for a number of reasons.
Why you shouldn’t watch porn
You shouldn’t watch porn because it:
- numbs you to women
- raises unrealistic standards
- kills your imagination
- destroys your drive to get girls
- watching other men fuck women is for betas
1. Numbs you to hot women
When men watch porn, they’re not watching shit that grosses them out. They’re going to exactly what they want on demand. Whether it’s big asses, big tits, certain nationality/race, threesomes, whatever. With porn you can get exactly what you want when you want it.
Which sounds great. But in real life it numbs men to attractive women.
When you can find exactly what you want in porn, real girls just don’t do it for you. You beat off to your version of a 10 all the time. But then you’ll have a hard time finding a girl like that in real life, let alone dating her.
2. Raises unrealistic standards
Watching porn takes the excitement out of sex and it gives you unrealistic standards. When you beat off to the hottest girls you can find it messes you up for real life. Because those same girls are rare in the real world. And when you do find them it’s not a guarantee that they’ll like you.
While that may be possible for some men, it’s not possible for the vast majority of guys.
It’s good to have high standards. But watching porn twists your brain to always look for a certain look and get it on demand. Which is unrealistic and not good for your mind to think like that.
3. Kills your imagination
Watching porn kills your imagination. Part of the fun in going after girls is the build up. It’s imagining getting laid and having sex. And then going out and doing that. Your brain gets to imagine her naked, her body, and the sex you’re going to have.
When you watch porn you kill that imagination. Your brain doesn’t get to put the pieces together. And that’s why most guys feel like shit after watching porn versus just masturbating to their own thoughts or having sex with a girl.
It’s fun for you to think about and fantasize about sex. But watching porn takes that experience away from you. You’re just feeding your brain with videos of other people fucking, and fake fucking at that. There’s something about numbing yourself and killing your imagination that takes a mental and spiritual toll on your brain.
4. Destroys your drive to get girls
You shouldn’t watch porn because it destroys your drive to get girls. Having exactly what on demand is easy and fun. But then once you cum, you’re tired and drained. After sex you’re still tired, but you also have a positive energy about you. Because you feel good that were able to have sex. Nature intended for this.
You don’t get that same feeling after watching porn. You feel like you cheaped yourself out of the real thing. And that you just wasted your sexual energy.
Instead your drive to go meet and fuck new girls is hacked away. It’s hard to go on a date with a regular girl when you just spent an hour beating the hottest girl you could find on the internet.
5. Watching other men fuck women is for betas
Watching other guys fuck women is for chumps. You should be going out and sleeping with women yourself. There’s a reason you feel like shit after watching porn. Or at least most guys do. With the exception of religious guys, the majority of guys that feel like shit after watching porn feel like it for a legit reason.
And that’s because they know they should be going out and try to make that happen for real.
It’s in your instincts to go out and try and sleep with attractive women. But when you decide to beat off to porn, you’re selling yourself short. Deep down, your brain knows it’s not the real thing. You saw another man get it in while you were on the sidelines. It’s a shitty feeling.
Do you think of the Rock, James Bond, or whoever your favorite role model is a guy whose going to masturbate to porn? Hell no. As a grown man you should be able to attract a decent looking woman. When you don’t do that and choose to watch porn, you’ll get mad at yourself for not really living life. At least I would.
Don’t watch porn
If you’re going to masturbate then at least do it without watching porn. This way you’re making your brain work to create a scenario. While not as good as real sex, it gives your brain the ability to exercise your sexuality without it begin spoon fed to you. And you don’t need to watch another man plow through what you wish you were.
Masturbating can be good to train yourself to last longer. I recommend doing it at the end of the day before you go to sleep. It’s better to sleep with real women, but it’s still much better to masturbate without porn than with it.
Or you can try the opposite and do nofap. This is where you transmute your sexual energy by not beating off or having any type of orgasm. The extra energy is crazy. And if you have the discipline then you can use that to focus on your purpose.
Date girls in real life
I’m not here to bash all the guys watching porn. I did it myself when I was a teenager. It was addicting. But as soon as I stopped watching porn, I had way more ambition to do other things. I was able to meet girls in real life and actually enjoy having a dating life. Having a social life and getting out in the world became way easier. And I was able to get the experience sex in real life, not by trying imitate a pornstar.
It also just made my overall mental health way better. Stop watching porn and start living in the real world.
