I understand that people think it’s as easy as „Just stop doing it“ and think that people are selfish for not stopping, but as someone who has been addicted to it for 9 years now, it’s much harder than you think. Your body will make you go insane until you submit. Im ashamed that I ended up like this and I went to this video hoping to get advice how to stop it. None was given but her speech gave me some hope and reading the comment section makes me happy that I’m not the only one.

Age 28 here. Initially started off viewing porn. Almost 14 years into compulsive porn habit. 5 years ago i started paying for sex. Wasted $25, 000. Got nothing out of it.

In therapy, working with young kids, been clean 5 months now and im already able to see so many blessings. I saved $8, 000, connected with my family on a deeper level, just applied at Cal State East Bay for Masters program in clinical psychology.

Remember one thing, when a man has no purpose in life, he'll distract himself with pleasure.

I'm 30, still have my job that I love, family, hobbies. I just have to.stay consistent and remind myself of the consequences i faced all these years.

When i realized I had this addiction i just paused and asked myself who is this who have i become, this isn't me i need to get push out this and welcome the true me back

[sivakumarsubramaniam]

I was sexually abused for a very long period where eventually I believed it’s normal to be one. Sex abuse was the 1st love language that taught by the my uncle since I m from dysfunctional family. Abuse was the only positive physical and emotional touch I experienced. Now I m 40 n very much successful in my life. Still undermines myself. Trying very hard to break this addiction. I can do better in my life hope this recovery will bring out the best from me.

Thank you! I feel so much more peace deleting all the unhealthy sexual social media content on YouTube after watching this💜💚

[alexiscoruna]

Who ever reads this, God loves you and I hope he frees anyone who is struggling with pornography. Friend, Jesus loves you. I have a habit to beat myself up (not literally) when I look at images that I shouldn’t. The reason why I say that is cause the feeling is very sad and it makes me very upset. I don’t want you guys to be upset or mad at yourself for sinning. We were all born into sin. If you sin, its normal to feel a bit of sadness cause sin is not good. We certainly shouldn’t feel proud of ourselves. I too get discouraged and upset when I sin, but I pray and ask God to pick me up from the ashes and dust, Brush my shoulders off with all that gunk, and try again and again and again. When you do sin, don’t think “IM A FAILURE! WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS?! IM NEVER GONNA BE FREE OF THIS SIN!!” My brothers, my sisters, that is a big fat lie from the enemy. Jesus can and WILL save you from your deepest and darkest struggles! We are all in this together and we all struggle with sexual sin. Know that the Lord Jesus Christ DIED for your sins. His blood was shed for us sinners when it should have been us on that cross. He took all our shame, all our sins, ALL OUR TRANSGRESSION onto himself. Jesus will free you. Matthew 26:41 “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I care for whoever reads this. I love you, and so does God. We must constantly pray so God can protect our minds from the attacks of the enemy. Jesus thinks of you as many grains of sand there is in the beach, and as many strands of hair that is in your hair! (Idk if I said that right 🤣😂😅)


God bless who ever reads this. A thousand hugs 🫂 🤗

I been battling this addiction for 20 yrs now, i need help, depleted all my money, tried to stop many times but relapse after a few weeks .

[EthanHayez]

Last addiction I really ache to beat. All the sucking ducking, comparing and combining will change you but know you ain’t damaged. Your experienced and with more experience comes more pieces to manage and more nuance to provide your own life. You are all you need despite how self centred you aren’t.

[SpecialWeaponsDalek]

This is unfair what did we do to deserve this, why us, why? Why are we to be called monsters over something we never wanted, why are we to be compared to people locked behind bars, why are we to be ignored when we try to get help, why have we been punished to face this addiction. We tried taking matters in to our own hands because no one will listen to us, to no avail. How can people be so ignorant of something so common! I opened up about it to family (took 2 attempts because I didn’t make myself very clear the first time) and I visited a doctor yes I am commenting a second time yes I am bothering telling you guys this because no one else will listen I nearly had a mental breakdown few hours ago and I refuse to continue living life like this. Medical Personnel for the love of god make an awareness campaign everyone is so ignorant of what we‘re going through please please please I know this is just a delusional daydream but please!

[kawaiisenshi]

I have found dialectical behavioral therapy to be super effective in treating sex addiction :)
Hope this comment helps someone

[veramann]

Most therapists and organizations don't tell you their success rates.

[AmbientWalking]

Thank you for this! It's really helpful!

[chrisjackson]

It's crazy how we live in a society where they tell you sex is bad just got to find the right person to happy with all the time and you won't have to worry

[AshikRaiOfficial]

Very helpful thank u love from ashik Rai vlogs

[RONIEJAKE]

hi, is there anyway to get rid of sex addiction? i want to overcome it somehow because i have a girlfriend and i only want to marry her. but i cant control the addiction.

[phulenboro]

I'm a sex addicted from 12 years 😢

[moexus]

Some causes is spiritual, demons can make you a sex addict to destroy your marriage and possess your life.

[quentonnankivell]

I'm OK with my addiction, I don't feel guilt or shame or remourse as part of my cycle,

[andie_pants]

Ok, here's the problem: After marriage, my amazingly beautiful (like, WTF is she doing with a weirdo like me?) and wonderful wife who I love and cherish more than anything I've ever loved before... realized she was demisexual roughly the same time she taught me I'm a hedonistic pansexual. So she is 100% into me but wants copious amounts of "vanilla" sex. (her term, not mine. I feel like "vanilla" is derogatory.) Our sexualities have wildly diverged in 180 degree opposite directions, but I feel like I'm the damaged one who needs repaired. She completes me in every other aspect of life. Help?

BTW, the disclaimer is spot-fucking-on. 20 seconds in, and I can tell you're a channel worth paying attention to. Your sensitivity has not gone unnoticed.
