How Pornography Is An Artificial Filler
Now if you have been struggling with pornogrpahy addiction and it also has had a negative effect on your love life, then obviously things aren’t going as they should. For most porn addicts, they tend to prefer pornography and masturbation a lot better than their spouse and although the fantasy is that much more intense, it definitely isn’t as fulfilling.
Now we showed the difference between a healthy sexual relationship and porn in the article; How A Healthy Sexual Relationship Can Be A Much More Pleasurable Than Porn
That being said, if we would compare both porn addiction or any other sex related addiction for that matter versus a healthy sexual relationship, think of it as a soft drink versus a healthy meal. The soft drink might taste better and leave you with a big sugar rush while the healthy meal might not even taste as good.
However, further down the road, it won’t last long until the sugar rush is over, leaving you down and not feeling well whereas, the healthy food will keep you energized and in good shape for a while.
Now I know this is a silly comparison but just think about it for a minute; if you were to constantly drink only soft drink and never touch any healthy food, how would you feel after say, a week? A month? You would probably be in quite a critical condition or even worse,dead.
The same thing goes with pornography addiction and using it to try and fill the emotional void a person has. Most porn addicts Resolve to the use of pornography or other unwanted sexual behaviors because they’re lonely, they need affection, they need intimacy but not having any, they look into artificial means. The end result is that it leaves them unfulfilled and wanting for more after they’ve reached sexual climax.
Now another example that we can show you is by looking at toddlers or very young kids. At those age, they show emotions in its purest form. That being said, they constantly need affection from someone, mostly their mother.
If mommy isn’t anywhere to be found, they start panicking and crying.
This goes to show that, since the day we were born, we need love and affection. As we grow older however, society and life experiences dictates us not to show our real emotions or find other means to do so. Especially for most who just got into puberty, things really start to change. As such, we start to look for other means of getting that love and affection we need, most of the time replacing it with pornography.
So to conclude all of this; pornography isn’t something we need and the more a person remains with it, the more destructive it can become. It’s just another means of replace something that we really need. I often read tons of confessions from former porn addicts or sex addicts and it’s almost always for the same reason; because they’re trying to fill in an intimacy void which they don’t have.
