Zachary Stockill: It is never easy to change a habit. It takes time, it takes effort. It takes dedication. It can be particularly difficult to break a long-standing habit. And unfortunately, one of the most common habits among young men and many older men as well is watching video pornography.
You’ve heard me talk about pornography on this channel before, I’m sure if you’ve been watching my videos for a while. And I’m not being moralistic here. I don’t necessarily think it’s wrong to watch video pornography, I’m not going to get into those arguments. What I want to do today is compel male retroactive jealousy sufferers to stop watching porn. Not for any moralistic reason, but because it’s actually making overcoming retroactive jealousy much more difficult.
So why am I making this video? Why am I talking to you today? Because most young men nowadays learn about sex and sexuality through watching pornography. This often represents their earliest exposure to naked women; to sex and sexuality. I’m in my mid-30s now, and I just barely missed the generation with teenage access to high-speed internet and smartphones. That wasn’t a part of my life, thank goodness.
With many guys, growing up with video pornography, hardcore porn on their phones is available 24/7. It does a lot of damage to their sex lives.
I think it can do a lot of damage to their own conceptions of what constitutes good sex, and what women want.
And I think this is a serious problem, in particular, for retroactive jealousy sufferers.
And I should also note that I’m addressing this video to men because, let’s be honest, of course, I know many women watch pornography, nothing wrong with that. But…
The overwhelming majority of pornography is designed and imagined, distributed and consumed, by men for men.
It is what it is, right? It’s mostly guys watching porn. And just for the last time, this isn’t a moralistic argument. I’m a libertarian. I believe in individual freedom, personal liberty, and all that good stuff. I’m not trying to say you can never watch porn ever.
But I think for men who are struggling with retroactive jealousy, it’s a serious mistake.
And here is the first and biggest reason why I think male retroactive jealousy sufferers should stop watching porn: it’s filled, obviously, with graphic sexual imagery. Now, one of the primary symptoms of retroactive jealousy OCD is graphic sexual images; in particular, what I call “mental movies” where you’re having all these crazy movies in your head with all kinds of graphic sexual details concerning your girlfriend’s past or wife’s past sex life that you can’t seem to forget about. You probably know what I’m talking about if you’re a male, retroactive jealousy sufferer, or sometimes if you’re a female retroactive jealousy sufferer.
