It's time we dispelled these lies about porn. Too many men are falling victim to the lies and become ensnared by porn addiction. Men, especially young men, must hear the truth about porn. They must know the facts.

1 Porn Helps You Relax - Many men say they need porn to relax or to go to sleep. It's true, many hormones are released upon orgasm which make you feel tired, but porn is not a natural way to get them. There are many ways to naturally activate those endorphins in your brain and many more ways to relax and decompress before bedtime.

2 porn Is Healthy - This is one of the most laughable lies about porn. There is nothing healthy about porn. There are no health benefits to watching pixels on a screen. In fact, it's incredibly unhealthy. First, from a mental and emotional standpoint, it leads to increased anxiety, depression, feelings of shame and regret.

3 You Need Porn - No one needs porn. It's not necessary for you to masturbate. It's not needed to "spice up" a relationship. You're just addicted to it. You can break free from it and will be much happier for it.

4 porn Is Normal - Porn is NOT normal. It's not natural to watch other people have sex and pleasure yourself to it. Porn rewires your brain so much that you can end up preferring to watch porn versus actually having real sex with a woman! That is NOT normal.

5 You Need Porn To "Get It Up" - Many men feel like they need porn to get an erection. You don't need it porn to get it up, you've just desensitized yourself so much that your brain constantly requires new and exciting images to get the same stimulation.

6 porn Is How You Learn About Sex - This is one of the most dangerous lies about porn. Men think that they will learn about sex through porn. We must do a better job of teaching our young men about sex.

Let's stop the lies.
