stopping porn is going to solve all your problems because it's not it's more saying what's the underlying issue here that's leading you to seek something out like that and that's preventing you from seeking real deeper solutions to your problems yeah i would totally totally agree with that sentiment i think that it's very similar to for example sugar yes i mean you can have a healthy relationship with with sugar even though there's no such thing as a biological necessity for
added sugar.
I mean, if you have a healthy relationship with food, you can eat a little bit of sugar here and there.
You can use sugar as a way to fuel your workouts, your high intensity workouts.
But then obviously, because of the nature of the environment today, some people are going to be exposed to sugar and it's going to become their out to whatever stresses they're feeling to, you know, to whatever.
And similarly, I think it's the same thing with porn.
And people are becoming, not just from the consumer side, if guys are getting addicted to porn, well, it's also like the porn industry is continuing to feed the beast, right?
It's like the porn is constantly available.
It's the guys are not getting laid as easily because of social media.
It's like this huge systemic problem that's a point to finger out one thing.
No, I definitely, I'll like routinely like scroll over to my explore page or whatever on Instagram.
And it's like some pornified thing, some girl or whatever, just like for clicks doing something that clearly is like designed to elicit that reptile aspect of my brain.
And I'm like, oh, there's my porn brain.
Like there's like the part of my brain that like,
doesn't want to click away from this.
In fact, wants to go check out the profile.
And I have to stop myself because I hate it.
It's like, yeah, it hijacks your brain.
It's like you're being fed against your will, like some ultra processed, like Krispy Kreme donut.
It's like, yes, it's delicious.
