Why porn is bad? And watching making out scenes on youtube equally bad or not? I am talking in terms of rewiring of brain to stimulation?

Your brain has a characteristic called neuroplasticity. Basically, it means that you can wire/unwire you brain for most activities that you perform. When you learn a skill and then don't practice it for years and forget it, those are both possible because of this neuroplasticity.

Porn seems the be the same way. When you watch porn, you are wiring your brain to watch porn. You start associating it with jerking off and even come to expect it. Basically, you start forming a porn habit the same way you form any other habit.

I know a lot of guys who apparently really struggle when having sex because built such a porn habit. They either can't get hard, can't stay hard, don't enjoy sex or can't finish all because they are so used to porn.

Personally that's just not the kind of life I want. I've found that real relationships and sex with real people is far better, even if it's not as much of an insane dopamine rush as porn. So I don't watch it.

Some people also claim that porn throws off their motivation to pursue goals in real life. I don't know how true this is, I've also been pretty motivated even when I watched porn. But there's tons of anecdotal evidence to support it. So I'd suggest trying a porn cleanse and seeing first hand how you respond to it.

@Jhonny

try to eliminate porn habit within 3 months and see how you feel than asking whether its right or wrong. This is a personal development program, we are not moralizing things, we are working ourselves whats better.

@Jhonny

@aurum explained it perfectly. I 100% agree with him. It is better to stay away from porn as much as possible. As Leo suggested in his addiction video, the best strategy to eliminate every bad habit is to observe it

1- its effects your ability as real human being rather u see them as sex objects

2-you starts comparing

3 - sometimes a normal situation take you away from reality and u start thinking of sex so loss concentration
