So I’ve talked about the negative effects of porn before and they are many and varied. Porn is toxic poison that does no good for your life. It can ruin not just your sex life but many different facets of your life as well. One primary one being that it can make you numb to life.
Much has been written about the scientific effects of porn on the brain yourbrainonporn being a prime example. One of these is the dopamine desensitization. Meaning it takes more and more to stimulate you. Which eventually makes you numb to the life around you. It can make you numb to a beautiful woman smiling at you to making you numb to that you care about your dog. Like I said the negative effects are wide and varied.
Dulls You To Life
Porn dulls you to life. It messes with your system and turns everything grey. This doesn’t mean that quitting porn will make you an emotional wreck or emotional like a woman rather just that you will live a much fuller and richer life. Life is not meant to be experienced as a robot which is one of the negative side effects of porn.
Imagine a gorgeous women writhing in your bed making you react as little as a feather falling on your shoulder. Imagine your best friend dying and it barely even registering in your mind. Imagine someone wanting to have a relationship with you that would be fulfilling for you and stretch your self-development yet you don’t even care. Though extreme this is the direction in which porn can take you.
Dopamine
The reason for this is dopamine. When your dopamine receptors get screwed up your life is going to be affected by it. It may get hard to feel or express emotions. Which are very important parts of life. No one was meant to be a robot, this includes men. Though we should be in control of our emotions it is unhealthy to not feel any emotions whatsoever. To see the world in shades of grey.
That is no way to live a fulfilling life. No passion, no drive, no fight, no heart, no combat. That is no life for a man to live. Man is meant to live life fully and completely. Porn keeps men from living up to their potential and making the most out of life. It keeps them dull and dead. It keeps them from taking the actions that they need to live their life and move forward in their development. It will keep you in a state of vegetation. It will keep you chained down and a plugged in slave.
Zombification
Porn makes you a zombie and along with social media and other technological stimulation it plays a large part in the zombification of society. To make everyone soulless, mindless drones. In the manosphere we talk about strengthening your mind but you must strengthen your heart as well. You must develop a zest for a life, a fighting spirit, the will to fight. Porn takes away your masculinity (in many different ways) one prime one being numbing your heart and soul.
When you become numb you become numb to your needs, wants, and desires. You numb yourself to the direction in which you should go and what direction to take your life. It keeps you from taking action, it keeps you from moving forward. Instead of fighting and rising as a man should you fall back or sit around on your ass. Porn can be as numbing as weed or other things that bring nothing good to your life.
Summary
Porn screws with your dopamine and makes you numb to life. Getting off of it won’t make you emotional like a woman rather it will bring you back a healthy balance. You’ll be able to express yourself to others better and relate to others (an important skill). It keeps you stuck where you are at and prevents you from taking action to change it. Like a stoner who doesn’t realize how shit his life is because of the numbness weed gives him. Doesn’t matter if it’s legal only matters if it is good for your masculine development. If it is not you need to cut it from your life.
P.S. For helping get back in touch with yourself and cleansing some of the emotional blockage try binaural beats especially theta waves. Check out this recording here.
