To Those Victims of Porn: My Heartfelt Advice
The only cure for a bad habit is hard work, especially with something so controversial- pornography. Everyone fights lust for different reasons. Some question their moral values passed down like dying languages from a young age. Some cannot bear witnessing the dirt produced in the dirty action- poo, pee, sweat, blood, and whatever ghastly that grosses you out. Some have been traumatised by past experiences or stories that can be so bone-chilling that even the gods shake their heads in resignation- sex trafficking, molestation, rape, abortion and murder, to name a few.
But we remain committed because we know that pornography is the modern scourge of this planet. Whether now or later in life, we still suffer from its painful consequences, compounded with the baggage of our shame. Like myself, many of us have been an unfortunate victim of lust, and these pages will never be enough to detail each physical and emotional scar that we got out of it.
So know your heart. If you feel ashamed of whatever quality you have despite being a man or woman, be it your body size, the loneliness you face on an everyday basis, or the other things that propel you to watch pornography again, you are not alone.
Take a deep breath. You can start to be at peace with the world around you, your body and your flaws, or be in pieces- with the false hope that after you watch it, you will get over this vicious cycle of self-loathing and pornography.
If that doesn't help, write everything down. Yes, your spilt blood, happy tears, spilt blood, and who knows what's next. Let your emotions flow out. Coping mechanisms are there for a reason. They provide a release so that we won't always feel emotionally incapacitated to do something. If you hate to pick up the pen, meditate. Exercise. Tune into music. As long as you keep wiping your hands clean of social media or anything else that tempts you the same way as pornography does, the stains in your mind will gradually disappear over time.
If you are on the verge of relapse, take a deep breath. Ask yourself how that single action of yours can affect those who love you, you most of all. Doing so makes you love yourself because why shouldn't your body deserve your love? Lots of sicknesses usually come after masturbation, which is the insidious motive modern-day directors of pornography aim to achieve in their addicted users. For men, erectile dysfunction and prostatitis are the most common and the most painful to accept. To those who want to become parents, your dreams will shatter if you don't change.
There are a million ways to overcome lust and pornography. However, noting this, there is only one permanent solution- hard work. They say you should never let history repeat itself, but your past mistakes are powerful reflections of the person you can become. Evil or good? You choose.
