After listening to a motivational speaker talk about discipline and how its necessary to attain self esteem, I came to the conclusion that I should quit watching porn forever. Why? Well as the speaker said, one can not have self esteem until one is holding the steering wheel of his life. Negative habits will not let you control your life, THEY are in control of your life. Negative habits only provide a short term comfort in exchange of long term pain, if we recognize this then we should accept the fact that our negative habits are in control of our lives. They are making us do something we know we shouldn't do. And this includes routinely watching porn, smoking, being disorderly, etc.
My story. I should probably be considered a porn addict as i have been watching porn once a day on average for the past 2 years. 31 days ago I decided to stop watching porn forever. I celebrated each day that I didnt watch it as a winning day. I didnt feel much difference in my self esteem... until the 6 or 7th day. Then I started realizing how much more motivated i was to meet girls and to be social. Because now I couldn't rely on porn to become horny, and being horny is as powerful motivator as actually getting laid. See when I had porn, I didnt care if i met girls because I could just watch porn if i didnt meet anyone, so I barely put much effort into getting horny with girls. But now I dont have any other way of getting horny, so Im forced to go out, dance and grind on girls, push for the sexual talk, and escalate. And it doesn't feel like work, it feels as it if its coming instintively. Plus I have the energy of ten horses. I've noticed other changes in my behavior such as being more in the moment, and being more disciplined in other areas of my life such as jogging, reading, work, and i even joined a soccer club.
So there you go, this is my story of how getting rid of porn had the unintended consequence of making me a better person. I'm never going to watch porn again, I might see naked girls on tv or magazines but thats as far as i'll go.
