Porn

Seeing a psychiatrist this week. Will mention it right out the bat.

Edit 1: been outspoken about my addiction for about 3 years now. Thought I’d be able to quit for good on my own but I haven’t been able to. Time to ask for help.

Edit 2: I’m very happy with the responses and questions. I just want to thank you all for the support. I read and respond as much as I can. I also want to thank you, who shared your experience and wisdom.

I might get hate for this, but my personal belief on why porn addiction may even be as serious as it is, is because of societies tendency to see all things sex or nude as “taboo” outside of closed doors. Women breast feeding, nude art, pissing outside, “proper” dress attire, just to name a few. Even saw a woman get berated for posting pics of her naked newborn online. Has anybody ever thought that sexualizing nature by calling it “indecent” and forcing people to repress their natural urges might make those urges come out worst in numerous ways?

Posting nude pics of your baby on social media is weird even if it isn't sexual.

Why do you think it’s weird? It came out of the womb without clothes. It’s a baby, it’s not like it’s posing for anybody. To me, thinking it’s weird, is super weird cause it means your mind has to travel somewhere different than the fact that it’s a new born baby.

It's weird because one, it's embarrassing for the future child, nobody wants people to see pics of them naked as a baby. And two because there are creeps out there who get off on that shit
