Yourbrainonporn.com legit or not?

It's legit but they have different religious agenda as I've heard. So don't believe everything blindly.

Going by the discussion so far, there are no links to religion or religious agenda. Some of it is based on recent scientific findings, some of it is inspired by ancient eastern thinking (a bit like "tantra"). Feel free to dislike this coupling of science and exoticism if you like, but so far I've seen no credible findings that would link it to organized religion. Regardless, it appears it's still one of the best resource sites for those struggling with porn addiction.

edit: and, yeah, I agree: never believe anything blindly.

I am assuming you don't know much about addiction because you point out how people who don't overcome it have a weak mind. That is laughable in the medical community. It is not that black and white. However if in your personal life you were addicted to crack cocaine and quit then got to your successful state that an amazing story I'm impressed. Now I strongly urge you to help others quit by being a role model because there are many weak minds out there that could use your help.

Also if you were addicted to crack it still does not mean you fully understand addiction (not saying I fully understand it either). You're experience does not allow you to have insight into what went on in your brain just because you went through it. You jelq and have had results. Just because you've done so does not mean that you suddenly understand how jelqing works exactly and why all gains happen.

I pointed out the misspelling as to not misrepresent what you were saying.



My response would be this statement:



Seems like a legitimate reason to question you on this.



Addiction to foods with high fatty content is a real thing. We are more or less the same human beings as were cavemen thousands of years ago. Finding food with that much fat is hitting that jackpot back in cavemen days so your body wants consume it while it is there.

Look man, in a nutshell this is all I am trying to say. Porn does not wreck everybody who views it. to say it does is simply not true. I was in a special mood last night. I was not meaning to come off so harsh.

Porn: To each, their own.
Viewing: Some do, some don't, some do on occasion.
Problems: If it causes you a problem, do something about it. You also decide when or if it is a problem.

Thank you.

Life's so incredibly EASY, you know. How on earth could anyone ever have problems with it? If something you do causes problems for you, just stop doing it. Hot damn...

And yeah, that'll be 60 dollars.

Porn in and of itself, is not “bad”. Yes, it can certainly be tasteless, exploitive (to both women and men) and incredibly unrealistic but not necessarily unhealthy. For example, many “sexperts” recommend watching porn to couples looking to spice up their sexual play; to help them tap into their inner voyeurs in the safety of their own homes without having to go to say, a live sex show, for example. It can also be used with couples as an arousal tool because it stimulates the visual aspect of our erotic minds. Occasional use of porn in this context is not unhealthy because it often culminates in sexual intercourse rather than masturbation.

My recommendation for using porn in this context is to choose “sex positive” videos (directed by women, not surprisingly) that show real couples having real sex; complete with foreplay, kissing, etc. (and you also don’t have to put up with really bad acting that is more likely to make you laugh than titillate you)

Of course, porn can and does negatively impact men and women with little or no sexual experience because they get an extremely distorted perception of what partnered sex is like in real life but that is not what we are talking about here.

What this discussion is really about is the role porn plays in the context of masturbation. In my personal and professional opinion, porn can certainly be a contributor to masturbation-related problems but it is not the cause. If it were, then every single person who has ever seen a pornographic movie would instantly become addicted and have sex-related issues and we know this is simply not the case. Furthermore, although porn is the most popular and easily accessible erotic stimulation, it is not the ONLY one that can cause excessive masturbation. Nor does porn tell you HOW or WHEN to masturbate. At no time does porn tell its viewers to firmly grip their penis/vagina; to stroke rapidly or to do it with great frequency. No, that decision rests solely on the individual watching the porn movie.

Now, I have found people who suffer porn addiction/compulsion generally fall into the following categories:

1) Individuals who use porn as their ONLY means of arousal during solo sex which will eventually numb their sexual imagination (porn leaves nothing to the imagination); a necessary component in healthy, happy partner sex. Erotica on the other hand, in the form of sexy photography (stills) and erotic literature can provide the needed erotic stimulation but because they force us to create our own internal movies based on what we see or read; it engages the imagination rather than shuts it down.

2) Individuals who use porn and masturbation as a coping mechanism for other unresolved emotional/psychological issues; whether traumatic or something less so. Self-pleasuring is a form of self-love but when it is used as a method of self-medication without some form of intervention for the underlying issue, it can quickly turn into an addiction.

3) Individuals who are isolated; either by choice or circumstance; for loneliness and boredom for some can be a catalyst to engage in porn-related masturbation.

Now, I know some you will no doubt disagree with me and that is certainly your right; however, for those individuals who are at risk and who recognize that the problem of porn and masturbation is not with porn (which can’t be changed) but their REACTION to it (which can be changed); they will put the responsibility exactly where it should be; on themselves. This, of course, leads to increased choice and an option for personal betterment – and for many who use porn to masturbate excessively, the first step to that personal empowerment is the conscious decision to turn off the porn…permanently.

Now about the topic of Karezza...well that's a whole other problem...
