With 12% of the websites on the Internet purely pornographic(that's 24,644.172 sites),116000 searches for child pornographics and 70% of men aged (18-24) staring at the screen watching porn every month, porn is ubiquitous and very common in our world although it has been said to have some silly advantages but the disadvantages are so much and has greatly overshadowed the good things that porn alongside with masturbating has to offer.
Without further ado I would like to share with you 10 advantages of quitting porn.
1.) PREVENTS SOCIAL ISOLATION
watching porn and of course masturbating along side will make you feel very ashamed and very guilty about your addiction to porn, there will be a barrier between you and social interactions and you begin to feel indifferent and deny social intimacy with other human beings.
By nature porn and masturbating is something that demands Isolation and unfortunately isolation closes the door to true intimacy with those around us and takes away social time meant to be spend with friends family and lover.
You do not need to worry about being ashamed or isolated once porn is dropped.
2.) INCREASED SELF CONFIDENCE
Porn and masturbation can be very bad for those with low self esteem , the inability to quit the bad habit tears us apart and makes us feel less of ourselves and in the long run this leads to isolation from everyone around us and also gives a sense of defeat which is detrimental to the success of anyone in life.
Quitting porn has made me very confident, I feel very free from the thought of been defeated by the monster called porn.
3.) MAKES YOU VALUE LOVE
To be honest the things we see on porn sites are not what love and intimacy really means, it is hard to get a woman to you do what you see on porn sites, those who watch porn have a different mindset, they want women who will actually perform the acts they see, the way they see love changes.
Quitting porn helps you experience real love and intimacy.
4.) STRONGER WILLPOWER
Quitting porn needs a very strong willpower its not so easy to break from the addiction, determining never to watch porn makes you tap into the untold riches of your willpower.
overcoming porn addiction builds your will power.
5.) RESPECT FOR OTHERS
Respecting others while in porn is usually a difficult task to accomplish as everybody seem like a sex object when you overcome porn people become people to you and they no longer look like sex objects.
6.) INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
The easiest thing for an addiction to do is to steal your time and this is one of the most dangerous disadvantage of porn.
Porn addiction steals your time, you can't be effective if an addiction is stealing the time where you have to get your work done and even momentary breaks to attend to your addiction during work divides your concentration and destroys your effectiveness.
7.) KEEPING OUR PASSIONS ALIVE
What happens when our attention is divided and we can't focus on one thing, we begin to shift our attention to the bad habits.
Porn is one of the bad habits that makes us lose sight of our passion, dreams, goals and makes us stop working on them.
The more time we spend on it the less time we have for our global dreams.
8.) INCREASED CREATIVITY
The addiction is capable of clouding our imaginations and killing our creativity.
It has the power to overshadow great thoughts that comes to our minds. This parasitic ability on great thoughts is very deadly to our well being and to the success of human in any field because the ability to think has been taken and the mind is been clouded with the thoughts of the adult content we see on the screen.
9.) STOPS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Many times violence against women have been found to be the result of addiction to porn, women become sex objects in the eyes of men and can be maltreated raped and beaten due to the non benefitting monster called porn.
10.) PREVENTS WORST ADDICTION CASE
The actors who sleep with animals started somewhere, they continued the enjoyment of porn until it became so addicting and were looking for more hardcore versions.
The progressing addiction can be stopped by taking a step today it's never to late to right.
The decisions of today can ruin the future, as I said earlier porn clouds our mind thereby leaving the thoughts of the success and self improvement behind.

This is an issue that needs to be discussed, thank you for going there. If you start looking deeper at the themes, motifs, symbols, and language in Porn you get taken down a much deeper, even more sinister rabbit hole that can lead to dissociative personality disorder - a side effect of MK Ultra Monarch programming.
Shit is fucked, our generation is the first in a long time to have LESS sex and its because of porn. Add the metoo movement into the mix and you've got millions of young man-boys hiding in their room afraid to be a real man - because all they know is to be a sexually perverted and misogynous. We need to come together and do the things that one must do to be a well rounded man; compassionate, reliable, and and assertive when need be.
I cant even imagine where the tee nagers are at now. hen they do try to get laid theyve just got it all twisted on how to come abou t it.
Yea this societal evil must be rooted out of our generation
Thanks for reading@ iwanttruth
Good post, especially when you consider the very worrisome ills this habit has done to the psyche of porn addicts. It even becomes abominable when you consider the fact that children are very badly affected by this societal evil.
That being said, I want to draw attention to your title:
Given this title one expects your subtitles to be in the negative rather than the positive as you put all of them. It's like saying, for example, that one reason why you should quit porn is because of 'Increased Self-Confidence'
Please take a closer look. You may want to adjust or consider a rejoinder.
Thanks @sungbojus

Upvote and Resteem.
We are living in this wicked world that everyone can attack by evil doers, not only the young ones but adults too. Important things is we have a strong faith to God and we loved to follow his guide to be free to all of this kind of evil act. I don't know if you are believing in him, but at my point of view that is the best armor not to do those things. You are great and brave to make a blog like this, at first I think twice if I read or not, but as part of my Steemit Newbie Resteem Initiative , I read and gladly you wrote it well, just keep goin and aim your goal... find us at #newbiresteemday have a nice day/night.😊

I would appreciate your advice on how to improve
Excellent topic to post on!
Porn, as I read in a certain similar NoFap blog post elsewhere on the net, was described as a drug, due to the effects sustained exposure had on the dopamine receptors and the hormone's levels in the body. And unlike most others out there, this is seldom ever told to people, so few have any idea they're hooked to it.
I did notice one or two things I'd disagree with slightly here tho, and those would be that masturbation itself isn't really something one should be ashamed of (nor porn, for that matter, in this perspective), because the driving motivation here is shame. Some might argue that it gets the job done, but by and large, shame-motivation tends to have longer, more detrimental effects over time. What ought to be advised instead, is that porn should be avoided, and masturbation only engaged in when the need arises. It is, after all a form of self-discovery, and often times, through this act one starts to really know themselves sexually, and what they like. If anything, one may instead be advised to utilize their powers of visualization to really place themselves firmly into a scenario of their choosing, and then allow their imagination to take the wheel. I've found that it is an excellent visualization exercise on its own.
As for the dopamine effect-loss of energy and protein thing, there is a Taoist sexual practice which involves masturbating to orgasm, without ejaculation (this is actually something males can do, with practice). So far, it is the greatest sexual practice I have ever heard of, and it is worth a read. It's all the pleasure of sex/masturbation, with none of the less desirable side-effects, and continually renewable.
The other thing I'd disagree with (only in part), is that women are mistreated and harassed by men mostly because of porn. The truth is, most men are not taught the meaning of consent in this day and age (and a great many films that make the box office add to this effect by depicting heroes who essentially just "take what they want" when it comes to women, and so inspire male viewers to do the same, under less than similar circumstances). As an adolescent and teenager, I was exposed to porn pretty early, but never actually harassed a woman (did awkwardly fail at asking girls out on dates tho XD) because I'd heard of this concept of consent, and I'd started piecing together the fact that girls in porn and girls in real life behaved very differently at the finer levels, and eventually it hit me that those girls are simply acting in a certain way, for the camera, and that girls in real life are not. So in both cases, there's still consent being given by the girl when she engages in something sexual (provided her choices are actually being given consideration, of course). It's just that the camera wasn't being run when the consent was being given, and so we as viewers don't see that.
The focus, when it comes to mistreatment of women by men who are not serial rapists or harassers, should be on the notion of consent, and how it works (including certain areas of gray with regards to sexual dynamic and power). Porn is simple the icing on the cake.
Besides all that tho, the post is great, and the other points are solid.
Good job m8! :D
Great post. Indeed the information is very helpful.
