TJ Power

Like I never thought, oh, pornography is going to be something I hope I talk about one day on a show. But this really needs to be considered with mental health. It's something that society is definitely underestimating.

Because if you think through the lens of sex versus pornography and this idea of earning dopamine, sex, especially like a nice intimate loving experience of sex, is a slow progress. It's like you have a period of time together and maybe you have dinner together and then you cuddle and then you kiss and then eventually you have an intimate experience. And then eventually have sex.

It might be like 20, 30 minutes before that moment has happened. Pornography is very different. It's I'm scrolling Instagram or that person's pretty good looking. Now I'm on a porn website and within 60 seconds, it's like you're all the way there. Your dopamine is so high. We then went through the process of getting people to just try and have seven days without watching it. Just okay.

Seven days, you're not going to watch it. If you need to engage with the activity, you simply watch it. You simply do the activity, but you use your imagination. And even with that, you try and reduce it to maybe twice a week rather than what a lot of people, particularly men, but I think women struggle with this as well.

That's what we're seeing in our research and now doing it sort of seven days a week. You have seven days off and you very closely observe your motivation, your attention span, and your general kind of enthusiasm and excitement for life. People then come off it for the first time, maybe in their whole life, because they never even considered it was a factor in their mental health.

They spend seven days off it and they start genuinely noticing a difference. They're like, wow, I actually feel different without this activity. I felt so different when I first came off it. I remember texting some of my friends and they're like, God, what is TJ going to have us doing now? Now we've got to quit porn doing it.

They then came off it for seven days and they're like, wow, I actually noticed a very significant difference. You then extend that to two weeks, three weeks, four weeks. Very rapidly, you see a significant difference as a result of your dopamine baseline beginning to not have this constant destruction.

Once you have that period of abstinence, a beginning of a seed is planted within your brain and body that begins to see the pornography in a different way. As the frequency reduces, the motivation rapidly rises in your life and you start thinking, ah, maybe it's something I could let go.

For sure, easily.

Wanting an orgasm is a very natural experience for the brain and body. It's of course amazing if you can have those experiences with your partner, but we go through periods where we're away from our partner or maybe we don't have a partner and we're still seeking for an orgasm. When someone is seeking to de-stress through that experience, the orgasm is all they need.
