Ill just preface by saying I think this app is great. I’m already noticing some breakthroughs and feel like I’m really starting to dig in to the root of my issues properly. But I wondered what everyone’s opinion was on Mojos idea of porn not being as harmful as some make it out to be.
Basically I’ve struggled with a porn problem for a good few years. I’ve had relatively good success and typically can go months without it without too much problem. I was a good month free and have just fucked up today after one of the exercises (arousal control). In my head I wasn’t gonna touch the stuff ever again and I’m trying my best not to beat myself up about it but one of the ideas mojo stated got stuck in my mind - porn ISNT like crack for your brain and that way of thinking is a sure fire way to kill a boner.
See now I’m conflicted as I think for so long I’ve had this mindset that porn is like the devil and will fuck up libido etc. My intuition says I shouldn’t involve porn in my life regardless of what Mojo’s stance on it is (primarily as I don’t have a great relationship with it and feel guilty and disconnected when I’ve used it), but I’d love to hear other peoples opinions.
I really just wanna know what the best way to get my libido back to a normal level is. If that means consistently using the techniques, without porn, I’m more than happy to do that

Porn is insanely bad, and honestly I don’t think people are really aware of the problems. Porn is literally the devil for erection issues, comparison, reality. Stop it if you can

Really? I never thought porn was “bad”. I mean I feel like I’ve wasted my time sometimes when I think about any goals or something I want to accomplish and realize watching porn and masturbating could be a culprit or where my time has gone haha.
But I’m also not like losing my job or having it affect my ability to function in society. I don’t know. Something to explore though.

I hundred percent agree with your position. I am a Christian and the devil uses porn and that industry more than anything to corrupt people and lead them into sin … I thought it was OK for quite a few years even watching it with my wife . After I quit it was like the bondage was released from me and Our sex life improved 100%. Obviously I’m struggling a little bit here lately as to why I’m on this app but nothing to do with porn. I would strongly encourage anybody to quit. I do struggle even with the exotic situations they give you to listen to. It takes me right back to that place . Definitely proceeded with caution when it comes to this type of stuff . Overall the information in this app is super helpful you just have to use your own judgment . God bless you my friend.

100% brother. I don’t feel at all comfortable when I’m watching porn, nor for a while after. It always feels dirty and sinful. That’s why I was so surprised by MoJos stance. Whilst I don’t have a girlfriend, I do think the erotic stories could be fairly useful to help me rely primarily on imagination rather than visual queues. But I’m going to see how I feel doing those at first and adjust accordingly. This is a long process I know. All the best to you my friend

No neither have I had it affect my personal life too much. I’m still fairly successful and haven’t lost a job or anything due to it. Perhaps it’s just me that I don’t have a good relationship with it however, as when I start looking I don’t want to stop. So it’s easier for me to just not look at it at all really. Plus I don’t feel good when I watch it. Perhaps that’s a psychological thing that I’ve told myself it’s really bad and my body reacts accordingly? It’s a thought I ponder but at the same time it’s probably better to be safe. All the best on your journey my friend.
Yeah, I think that little slip was just that. I wish porn would just be wiped from the internet to be honest. I think the world would be a much better place.

As stated by sexologists, the idea of porn addiction is a myth, but porn compulsion is a fact. The mechanisms of addiction and compulsion are distinct enough to be important, but both are detrimental, each type needs to be approached differently.
The choice to watch porn or not is all up to you, like how someone can choose to indulge in a movie, videogame or whatnot. It comes down to what you value your time with.

I mean it does literally hijack the brains reward system and create new neural pathways in your brain which become stronger every time a person uses. The way i see it is that its really not natural. When a man get horny it’s because the brain wants to reproduce and have real sex however nowadays we are so used to having instant gratification that we go straight to watch porn to relieve that feeling straight away. That feeling is there to push us to go out and find partners, have real sex etc not just to waste it on watching other people have sex. Utilise that sexual energy

I think it’s similar to alcohol or junk food, for some people it’s a problem for some people they can casually indulge and it’s not an issue. You have to do what’s right for you and also what aligns with your beliefs and values. If it’s sinful and bringing you guilt and shame you are best off cutting it out of your life and it sounds like you have had moderate success with that. I think you know what your stance is on it, be true to yourself and don’t be concerned with others’ views on it or what society says. Best of luck to you and your wife and God bless.
