FOR MEN: Dealing with porn addiction, violence and shame

[Matt1]

I don't think its a major issue as such, i guess most guys watch it fairly often. I used to daily if i am to be honest but i have been able let go of that experience now. I think the effects are larger than what is simply made out. Men are programmed to desire and reproduce with females, images are shown daily in the media programming the subconsciousness mind further into perpetual enslavement to desire. On the positive side it allows someone to experience most things one can imagine but this like any addiction will result in more exterm measure to generate the same dopamine effect.

I also question a lot of websites against porn as perhaps having a hidden religious agenda that isn't clearly shown and the science they give is often debatable at best. However never the less i think in order to progress on the spiritual path one will have to balance the sexual desires and move into the higher centers regardless of the polarity.

Relationship issues is always something i have had issues in dealing with probably because of the shaming from the media and society as being unworthy of such an experience unless i could show the characteristics of the ideal mate. I understand that those problems ultimately came from myself and buying into the state of victim consciousness. Something that i am thankfully over with now. Although i still struggle with finding a loving partner.

Never the less i wish the best of luck with anyone on this rather sensitive and often difficult catalyst that goes unheard of mostly.
