The Addiction Of Porn And How To Get Rid Of It.

Before I start this article I would like to mention that I had previously been addicted to porn, just like many of you about to read this. Although many of us do want to get rid of this habit,it turns out pretty hard to do so. Hopefully this article would help you out on how to avoid porn. 

Porn is something that has unfortunately become a part of many teen's daily routine. Many adults fail to understand the addiction and provide proper support or help for their children etc. Based on a survey, 68% of young men and 18% of women watch porn at least once a week. Hence further proving the fact that this is an actual problem for the society that has to be dealt with.

How is this a problem for society?

Here is a part of an article published by covenanteyes

'Porn is destroying families

The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers reports that 56% of divorce cases involve one party having “an obsessive interest in pornographic websites.”According to numerous studies, prolonged exposure to pornography leads to:

• a diminished trust between intimate couples
• the belief that promiscuity is the natural state
• cynicism about love or the need for affection between sexual partners
• the belief that marriage is sexually confining
• a lack of attraction to family and child-raising

How to avoid porn?

Not unlike many drugs such as nicotine etc. porn is an addiction that is not easy to get rid of. However with the right help it is possible to get rid of this 'disease' I would like to call.
1- Try to understand the side effects of porn. For instance, a survey conducted stated that on NoFap: 19 percent suffer from premature ejaculation, 25 percent are disinterested in sex with their partner, 31 percent have difficulty reaching orgasm, and 34 percent experience erectile dysfunction. 

2- Destroy your porn collection and try to install apps like Qustodio which are anti-porn. In most cases you would need a friend or guardian to type in a password that only they would know.

3- Try to avoid staying alone. Rather than sitting in a room alone try to sit with your family members as sitting alone just provokes your mind into thinking thing you could do alone, ultimately deciding on watching porn.

4- Try to increase you physical activity such as playing soccer, tennis or even going to the gym because you are less likely to masturbate if your body and muscles are tired.

5- Look for online support. Many websites are created to fight against this habit of many. Here is link to one of them whose articles i find rather reassuring. fightthenewdrug.org/get-the-facts/

Thank you so much for reading this article and i truly hope you can end this habit of yours. It would be rather kind of you to leave me an upvote so I can keep contributing to the community even if very little.
