Does watching porn at a young age desensitize me? Does it make me anti-social? Is it why I have trouble talking to girls? I went a week without it. I started to feel better. Then BAM, I relapse one night. I'm back to feeling horrible again.

Carriebeca answered Monday February 6 2012, 8:46 am: I think it does desensitise you in a way; you get used to seeing that and it becomes normal, has no power to shock any more. I don't know about anti-social but I wouldn't want to talk to someone who watches pornography all the time as I believe it encourages people to regard those involved as sex objects, not people. That might explain why you have difficulty talking to girls, you're used to seeing them in a certain way - this tends to continue when talking to real girls, so drop the porn girls, have a relationship with real girls instead.
If you stopped watching porn for a week, you can do it again. Give yourself rewards for time spent away from watching it, such as talking to a real girl at the supermarket check-out, the pharmacy or in the street. Nothing creepy or over-the-top, just casual chat about the weather, traffic, pets or kids. ANything that wncourages you to see women and girls as people instead of objects.
Have a happy life.You can do it.
Because you really want to and because it's worth it.
Hope this helps, keep in touch if you feel you need more advice? Let me know how yu get on anyway. Best wishes x. [ Carriebeca's advice column | Ask Carriebeca A Question ]
