Could it be i just like porn?

This made me smile. I think that's also the most plausible theory, often overlooked on this site for not being psychologically sophisticated enough. I think it's the reason I keep falling, and it's very likely that the same is true for you...

Anyways wishing you the best of luck,

I definitely used to just love porn, and the only downside was that it was assur and could destroy my life. So if only I hold out until marriage, then I could get out all my desires B'heter. And then my porn issue will for sure go away... Because for me when the draw was sex without the whole connection bit, and I was objectifying every lady on and sometimes off that screen, the issue was just my love of porn. And violent porn. And other fetishes. In other words, until I figured out that it's actually poisonous for me, (and that realization gets stronger the longer I'm clean), I didn't realize how much I didn't love porn. And how much connection in all relationships was being sacrificed on the altar of something that wasn't giving me what I thought it was. But that's just me.

Feel free to reach out! jackthejewgye@gmail.com I'll do my best to try and listen!

The Battle of the Generation by Hillel S. has been a huge help for me. Message me to find out how you can receive a free copy.

some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me. This is ok. I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves. If you do realize that you know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

Yes indeed! It is VERY big! Keep it up!!
There's a joke that one of reasons for eating doughnuts on Chanukkah is that you eat it one day and it burns for 8 days... So just imagine thr results of eating many doughnuts

Zedj Current streak: 16 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 613 Karma: 46	1 day clean Had a fall last night. I feel numb about it. My netspark subscription ended last week and I didn't have a chance to get it back up and running. (Not a great excuse) tried to get in touch with mb smart about filtering option but didn't receive a response. Today sent a message to tag hopefully they will respond sometime. I don't really have a plan otherwise right now...
