The 3 biggest myths about p0*nography

(#3 is incredibly sinister..)

Thread: The number of well-intentioned but ultimately misguided advice I’ve seen circling around when it comes to quitting p0*n is crazy.

And the worst part is… Some of these ideas are spreading everywhere.

Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, you name it.

Let's bust these myths wide open.

Porn & Erectile Dysfunction

How they're related, why you 100% should care, and what can be done about it:

// THREAD // As of 2013, rates of ED were over 500% higher than they were at their pre-y2k levels. Wonder how high it is now?

You don't have to look very far to see this truth for yourself.

A few open conversations will reveal how common this problem's become.

But how is porn related?

Quitting porn helped me transform my life in every way.

Financially, socially, physically and sexually... truly, every area of my life is better because of it.

Here's what happened, and why it matters for you too:

// THREAD //

I always knew I had a lot of potential.

But I felt like I was leaving a lot on the table.

- Wasting a lot of time
- Leaving a lot of goals unmet
- Not connecting with others the way I wanted to, intimately and otherwise

I was coasting. And it was ok. But it wasn't great.

I quit porn in 2019, and since then everything in my life has changed for the better.

I've 8x'd my income, transformed my body, and built a much more satisfying lifestyle.

This is my story & how quitting porn can truly help you get everything you want in life:

A Thread: Back in 2015, I wanted to become more productive and make more money.

But I'd make a plan of action, and then... not much would happen.

I couldn't stay focused or motivate myself to stay consistent with the actions I knew I needed to take, and I didn't know why.

20 rapid-fire reasons you should never look at porn again:

1. It drains your energy, and energy is a vital resource — the less you have, the worse you perform in all aspects of life.

2. It trains you to lack discipline and prioritize instant gratification. 3. Porn wrecks your dopamine reward center... destroying your ability to stay consistent, accomplish your goals, and create the life you envision for yourself.

4. It progressively makes you less interested in real sex.

(and how you can make it 100x easier)

1. It's highly accessible & triggers are everywhere.

2. It hijacks the male brain's desire for reproduction.... 🧵 3. It releases more dopamine than anything else (except hard drugs) making it highly addictive

4. Society has accepted it as "normal".

5. Your mind works against you by rationalizing it.

6. You've been using it as an emotional band-aid instead of facing your feelings.
