If you’re tired of porn and ready to block it for yourself or others in your environment, there are number of things you can do to prevent access to porn. However, if you’re struggling with addiction yourself, in addition to blocking porn, its critical that you also work on overcoming porn for good so that it is no longer an issue.
Why you may want to quit porn:
There are many critical reasons to quit looking at porn. For starters, porn kills love, and really a lot of other things too. It’s mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically numbing. Long-term, it destroys relationships and marriages.
Patrick Fagan, a psychologist who has spent more than a decade researching the effects of porn, says: “Pornography hurts adults, children, couples, families, and society. Among adolescents, pornography hinders the development of a healthy sexuality, and among adults, it distorts sexual attitudes and social realities. In families, pornography use leads to marital dissatisfaction, infidelity, separation, and divorce.”
Other studies have been done which show the effects of porn on adrenal health, brain function, depression, anxiety and more.
