2 months without P*RN (8 things I've learned)

Let's Keep Talking with Braxton Gilbert

Have you ever stood at the crossroads of temptation and discipline, feeling the magnetic pull of instant gratification? This episode is about conquering that battle, as I share my intimate journey away from the grasp of pornography and towards a more profound understanding of sexual connection. The allure of fantasy had me chasing an unattainable high, but I've discovered that the heart of addiction lies not in the content consumed, but in the pursuit itself.
TLDR:
For me, porn was addiction to fantasy. Addiction to the feeling of more and better. It was all about anticipation. I've realized there is no catching that.
As I have healed from sexual repression, porn is a less reinforcing behavior.
The temptation to live without sexual discipline may never got away. The rabbit trail will always be there.
Knowing my vice, and waging war against is has been a springboard into a sense of purpose.
Pleasure is a selfish pursuit. Like "the reason for my existence is to feel as good as I can" is a bad way to think of things.
The desire for women, sexual desire, is something that I can feel through, instead of allowing to knot up inside. A spiritual perspective.
Sex can be about love & connection, not just entertainment.
Love just may be the most crucial part of “making love”.
