Don’t Go Where it’s Slippery – Part 2

In Part 1 of this article, we covered one of the main reasons why nudity and sex in mainstream media can be so dangerous for people overcoming porn addiction.

Here is a second major reason:

Mainstream Adult Content Can Be a Gateway

Even if mainstream media doesn’t trigger a porn relapse in the moment, it can still lead to porn use over time.

The idea here is that small, gradual changes don’t feel like a big deal, and so they can keep slipping under the radar until they’ve added up to one huge slide.

Starts off innocent . . .

Maybe you decide that there’s no harm in regularly watching TV shows with a lot of nudity and sex in them (not mentioning any names haha).

In fact, maybe you specifically watch those kinds of sex scenes instead of using harder porn because you see it as the lesser of two evils.

The thing is, if you regularly expose yourself to stimulation like that, you start to view this behaviour as normal for you. You also give your brain no chance to rest and recover.

. . . then shit gets real!

If you’ve used porn heavily before, it can be easy to get bored with the nudity and sex in TV shows and to start seeking out more stimulating material.

And because you’ve already been checking out nudity and sex on TV, it doesn’t feel like such a big jump to start viewing sex scenes that are just a bit more explicit.

Since you’re not deviating too far from normal, you don’t question it.

Yet from there, it doesn’t take much for the cycle to continue over and over, each time escalating you away from mainstream media and into more and more stimulating material.

You’ve seen this before

The above is basically the same process that people go through when they escalate from vanilla porn to progressively more varied and hardcore genres.

The only difference here is that you’re starting further up the stream with TV shows that you thought were harmless. But if you don’t stop escalating, eventually you can end back up using XXX porn all over again.

Just like the “soft” gateway drugs that can ultimately lead to cocaine or heroin use, nudity and sex in mainstream media can be a gateway that ultimately leads to hardcore porn use over time.

Basically, it provides a subtle avenue for porn use to gradually slip back into your life without setting off any alarms.

The Takeaway

As innocent as it may seem at first, nudity and sex scenes in mainstream media can create a dangerous slippery slope, especially if porn addiction is still a recent issue for you.

And once you start slipping, it’s easy to keep slipping further.

Maybe (if you’re well and truly on top of porn addiction now) you can handle some exposure with no temptation or escalation. But maybe you can’t.

And considering the potential costs of slipping, it’s not worth the risk just for some cheap and unsatisfying titillation.

So: if you don’t want your exposure to mainstream nudity and sex to end badly, don’t even start it in the first place.

My advice is to avoid artificial arousal of any kind as much as possible, and keep focussing on more fulfilling activities in life (genuine intimacy and sex with a real partner perhaps? ;) instead.

    “Man Im gonna share with you something Ive never told anyone. Ive been waiting for it and todays audio came at a perfect time!

    At 31 I became a father. If you have kids you know, if not I will tell you: The moment a newborn enters the room, it is instantly filled with the most extreme love you can imagine! When we had our daughter and I got to hold her, I had the most powerful love-explosion I ever could imagine!

    My heart was connecting to my newborn and I was at the deepest level her father, for life. The love was pure. true and so honest!

    At that time my brain had it, could not take it! It could not handle it! It had been porn-wired for a long time and thats the anti-love. At first it keep saying fuck fuck, hell hell and stuff like that. Very disturbing to a first time father! I felt only love but my brain something else.

    Later on it became even more disgusting, to a level that was hurting me very bad and I was haunted with the most disgusting words whenever I held my child. It took about a year or so to clean out, flush my dirty mind clean(er) I was so ashamed!

    2 years later we had another child. I was nervous as hell for that experience to return. It didn’t and we had a little boy. I was so relieved! It happened just after me starting to get your mails. So thats my story, and I promise my family to stay clean!

    I really appreciate you trying to help your fellow brothers. Mostly brothers I suppose..:) I can’t wait to hear from you again, your mails are always appreciate and longed for! Thank you for all that you do man, you save lives!”
    Rob, Sweden

    Here is an additional follow-up from Rob later:

    “Well, I never thought I could stop in six months. Here I am with no big setback! The transformation has been rough at times. My mind is so badly wired from porn. You know theres absolutely no humanity in porn ! Ive gotten married and got a second child since your first mail so the rewards are huge! I still long for the quick fix when im tired or stressed, but my 2yr ord told me I was the worlds strongest yesterday. And thats what I need to be! For My family! Your work is great! Keep it up man! And thank you!”
    Rob, Sweden

    “Hey man porn free power helped me to realise that porn addiction start with you. Before you start saying you quit it should be for real, I said many times that I need to quit but I failed but after meeting AJ I was able to know a way out. AJ always spend time giving us advice and also supporting us. I am proud to say I can see the light and I have quit porn.”
    Mathew S

    “Hi AJ,

    I have to say I have found the resources excellent so far. It takes constant reminders and fresh motivation to stay away from porn and prevent little relapses from happening, the emails we receive from you every few days do just that, helps to kind of freshen up our minds and keep us focused with new tips and strategies, now matter how big or small they are.

    It’s definitely working for me anyway, the odd little relapse here and there but I’ve pretty much stopped porn altogether.

    Keep up the good work man you must be helping a lot of people.

    Thanks”
    Stephen

    “I have not watched porn for almost 2 months now since using the Porn Free Power strategy.This is a huge achievement for me. I have also received unbelievable support from AJ.

    I was desperate when I started this, now every day I feel stronger and in control.

    THANK YOU AJ”

    “Hi AJ,

    Thx for all your help. I have found that ‘Inner Anchor’,’Inner Source of Power’ that you indicated would be essential to victory over porn. This has given me a porn-free identity, giving NO PLACE to porn in my life at all. I am continually aware that I may NEVER become complacent.

    I thought I want to let you know, but have waited a considerable time so as to absolutely, resolutely sure that porn is totally out of my life and this email confirms it for me!!!”

    “The e-mails I have been receiving are great. I have been experiencing porn induced ED for years but now I’m full of hope. Day 5 in and AJ has been a real help.”
