@@johnfisher8401 Emphasis on men because it's very different for us. Unlike us, women have the luxury to comfortably express their true emotions without being criticised or made a mockery out of by society - a fate which one too many men face. Additionally, throughout their lives majority of them receive constant help, protection and reassurance by others along with However, Ever since young it's been hammered into us to suppress emotions and face tough situations independently of others which simply leads to a lot of men bottling up their true feelings, hiding themselves behind a mask to seem as if all is well and fine. After all there is a reason as to why male suicide rates are so much higher than female suicide rates. Of course there is no doubt that we all need some form of healing, but life doesn't treat men and women the same unfortunately and a lot of men don't have the privilege to express their situations and receive the same love, kindness and support that women receive.

Getting in touch with your feelings, whatever that means, I assume just being aware of yourself and what's underlying your behavior, doesn't make sense to be defined as anything masculien OR feminine at all. It's a state of consciousness and soul searching Imo - Good for anyone, and a tool to be better than who you already are, at least if you manage to address your shortcomings by making impactful change.
@tiinan3757 ай бұрын
Regardless of your beliefs, I think that everyone, once they look past their learned biases on the perceived feminine or masculine nature of emotion must admit that 'feelings' exist for a reason. Whether you believe in evolution, or if you're a creationist, we have emotions for a reason, and it is stupid to ignore them. Doesn't mean they should control you, but understanding your feelings cannot possibly be truly either masculine or feminine, because emotion exists in everyone regardless of sex or gender.@@AccountHolder007

Getting in touch with your emotions shouldn't be known as a feminine thing (but it is these days nonetheless). Because why else would emotions exist in men? It's a human thing, not a gender thing, we all have to accept

Ted Bundy blamed porn for the evil murders he committed… It’s not the porn, it’s both the genetic nature/predisposition of the man and their environment through childhood. Porn in varying forms has been around since the beginning of time. It’s up to men to recognize their own responsibility for their actions and their own inability to control themselves despite the existence of porn. With the amount of people who watch porn… it’s clear the majority have perfectly normal lives, but a certain percentage can’t handle it… happens with alcohol, caffeine, food… etc.

"Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do." (Holy Qur'an 24:31)- Really appreciate you opening up and sharing this crucial wisdom. As a Muslim man, I'm often reminded of a simple yet difficult commandment of the Qur'an to keep in mind as a defensive tactic against the temptations in society. As men/women when we go out for even a simple stroll if we can practice not gawking and simply keeping our gaze low to the ground it can greatly decrease the risk of flaring up our carnal passions and putting us in harms way.

Being vulnerable and in touch with your feelings isnt feminine and especially not in the bad way, its just human. You have to understand your feelings in order to be able to control them and not let them control you. As they say understanding your enemy is the best way to defeat them although your emotions arent your enemies they are just a part of you.

From a Christian outlook on pornography… the devil wants you to keep everything in the dark and not be vulnerable and talk abt it, but Jesus wants us to shine it in the light and ask others for help. Jesus loves you all and just know if you are fighting the grips of lust and pornography you are not alone. Vulnerability will not make you weak, but instead it will make you become more confident in yourself and strong in your identity!!! ❤

Keep going, even if you never tell anyone out loud, triumph always feels so satisfying. I am 75 days sober from alcohol, longest I have ever gone in the 15 years of my adult life without drinking and it feels so good to walk passed a beer cooler and not have a voice that says “just 1 drink, no one will know”. I get to be prouder and prouder of myself everyday that goes by since my last drink. I don’t even have to tell anyone to feel good about it and it helps fuel each following day the longer I go. I don’t think I’m ever gonna drink again. I literally have no desire to even have a sip, and boy let me tell you, I used to be one of those drinkers who’d drink everyone under the table and stay up till the sun came up and do it again. Hell I have “I ❤️ BEER” tattood on my leg. I don’t know what I’m gonna cover it up with yet but I deff don’t love it anymore, I don’t like it at all. I know it’s not the same but I feel these could be a decent comparison. Stay strong, at 19 you have many battles to win in your life, this one you will be so glad you beat (no pun intended), the sooner the better. Save that stuff for the ladies ;) you won’t regret it.

I’m a woman and it popped out in my recommended I don’t know why, BUT I wanna say that this video has provided so much relief and comfort to me as a woman, because now I know that men with a healthy way of thinking and self-awareness exist in the Internet space. It’s such an important message! As a woman, I constantly feel like men stopped seeing us for what we are - humans with personalities, they are more interested in getting into your panties than your thoughts. I used to work in an all-male team and it was a torture to listen them talking about women exclusively in a sexual way. It’s very sad because I genuinely like men but something very wrong is going on with them as a societal group due to obvious reasons of the endless stream of free porn and datings apps and hookup culture, it’s easy to get distracted and lost and stop seeing what’s important.

Good video 👌 I’ve stopped watching porn for around 5 years now. I’m 49. I’ve taught myself to stop looking at young women in admiration, for their beauty, and to act my fkn age. I’ll be dead in my grave when I no longer have the capacity to gain pleasure from the sheer gorgeousness of beautiful women, but it doesn’t mean I have to gawk like a teenager at them now. I think a lot of young men could do well to listen to what you have to say. Porn is bs. It’s actually quite liberating to no longer lust after females like that.

My father took his life a little more than a year ago and the hardest thing for me (still) is thinking about him in the act. I can fully thank Buddhism for helping me through the pain from a spiritual standpoint. It's crazy how a scenario or combination of scenarios can stack up and cause someone to do something to that extent. We as men are not encouraged to speak our minds, and with things like alimony, child support, custody battle, poor physical health, the effect of his partner's mental health issues on his peace, and lack of proper retirement funding after 35+ years of grind that I watched my father unfairly have to go through, I have seen what live can do to you as a traditional man. He wanted to give all he had to everyone and people took advantage. He was at the point where nearly a month prior to the act, he was able to hide it from the entirety of his family as he had already made up his mind. One of the biggest things is that YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS TRULY GOING THROUGH and how important it is to treat everyone like they're on your team. No matter what. I wish you the best on your long journey of spiritual recovery so you may flourish.

I think a huge problem in life is that there is a large movement towards hedonism. Things are so much more progressive now and a large focus on yourself has been a trend. It's gotten to a point where people are encouraged to indulge on food, drugs, p0rn, etc. It's gotten to the point huge droves of people arguing that being super fat is still healthy, fap is healthy and important, etc etc. A huge flaw with this new trend of indulgence is a high percentage of people who lack self discipline/self control. Something that I learned from stoicism is the importance of striving toward self control. Full self control sometimes isnt an option for people, but the pursuit of that goal creates strong mental strength and improved clarity. Unfortunately, we all do struggle with some sort of vice, bad habit, or whatever else. It's the way we decide to handle them is what the problem is. We all need to come together to help one another and I respect you for doing it on such a large scale.

This video just appeared on my feed (which btw, is such a beautiful video, and set up). My father committed suicide when I was young, and it was a very similar situation as yours. He saw that was losing control, so he planned it, got everything covered by the life insurance, and one day he just did it... And he gave us very clear signs, but i was too young to connect the dots, or even have a deep talk to him about his feelings.. now after more than 10 years, I catch myself thinking how he had that wounded child inside, who was struggling everyday, trying to control himself, and trying to be loved.. and if i could now, I would go back and give him the biggest hug and be there for him. I just want to thank you for bringing this awareness to people, because not a lot of people talk about.. and it can save lifes and families. Thank you you for opening up about this, and I trully wish you all the success moving forward.

I know a lot of men aren't going to take this the right way, but I think it's important and potentially life changing. One of the best things I ever did (without knowing it) for desexualizing my brain was making a female friend (someone who is not your wife or gf). I met a woman a work and we quickly became fast friends. Within the year she was one of my best friends, aside from my other two buddies and my wife. I'm not saying this is an easy or simple thing, and if you're married your wife will likely have something to say about that. But when you become best friends with a women, like true friends, you see her for just the woman she is - all her hopes, goals, struggles, pain and suffering - you can never look at another woman the same. And you would never think about even allowing your mind to go anywhere sexually, because if you did, you would have to end that friendship (for it would dishonor you, dishonor your wife, dishonor God, and dishonor your friend). And losing a best friend is like losing a part of yourself, so you would never do it.

I think the issue is that a lot of men don’t realize that there’s a lot more to themselves than their primal animalistic nature so they feel like they need to defend it as if it’s their identity … but I’ve found you don’t need to deny, shun, or even reject that side of yourself, but learn to integrate it. To be able to have full control over it, and consciously choose to tap into it when it makes the most sense… make it your servant instead of your master, as opposed to being on autopilot and an unconscious slave to it. I’ve been there.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. I'm 10 months sober from any substance (alcohol was my vice, and I had been drinking since I was 14 on and off due to parties. I'm 28 now. My drinking got terrible and repulsive when I turned 22.) and 7 days clean from PMO. I'm now keeping this rule of not looking at anybody, whether male or female, that comes into my peripheral. I noticed that I would turn so quickly when a woman would come into my peripherals and check her out as she walked away. I would do that while driving and while at the store. A little glance too long built this rationality of watching women, leading to *orn. I'm still aware of my surroundings while driving and at the store, but I take half a second longer to know who's on the side of the road or next to me in the aisle. If it's a woman, I stay put, keep my head straight, and keep driving or going about my business. I learned this from drinking. A one-drink rule or a holiday-only drinking rule led to me binge drinking and my life being a mess. I was not drinking every day, but I was still unhappy. Until I figured there was no balance with this stuff at age 27. I can't still be drinking and want a better life. It's one or the other. I was never fond of black-and-white thinking, but this…I had to pick. Black, down the rabbit hole of misery that drinking puts you in, or white, happy, sober life. Now, I'm applying that to my PMO habit. I'm 28 now and should've been serious with my life long ago, but we're here now. I want to meet someone to spend the rest of my life with, and I can't do that if I'm hiding all these vices. Here's to being my true, authentic self for the rest of my life.

غض البصر is an Arabic phrase that means "lowering the gaze." In Islam, it is considered a virtue to غض البصر , especially when it comes to looking at members of the opposite sex who are not mahram, or close relatives. The Quran and the Sunnah, the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, both emphasize the importance of غض البصر. In the Quran, Allah says: قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَيَحْفَظُوا فُرُوجَهُمْ ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ "Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is fully aware of what they do." (Quran 24:30) In the Sunnah, the Prophet Muhammad said: "The first fire that will be kindled on the Day of Resurrection will be for the eyes that looked at what is forbidden." غض البصر is considered a way to protect oneself from temptation and sin. It is also a way to show respect for others. There are a number of things that Muslims can do to help them غض البصر. One is to be aware of their surroundings and to avoid situations where they may be tempted to look at someone in a way that is not appropriate. Another is to remind themselves of the importance of غض البصر and the consequences of not doing so. Finally, Muslims can pray to Allah for help in controlling their gaze. Here are some tips for غض البصر: Be aware of your surroundings. When you are in a public place, pay attention to where you are looking. Avoid looking at people who are not mahram. Avoid situations where you may be tempted to look at someone in a way that is not appropriate. For example, you may want to avoid sitting next to someone who is attractive or wearing revealing clothing. Remind yourself of the importance of غض البصر. Think about the consequences of not doing so, such as temptation, sin, and disrespect for others. Pray to Allah for help. Allah is the One who can help us control our gaze.

This video gave me some ideas for something similar to try on my channel, mainly in getting those thoughts out of my head. I used to take long drives every so often when I was younger, but as the financial responsibilities of being an adult began to grow, I drifted away. Having grown up in a home with a chronically depressed mother, a heroin addicted Brother, and a Alcoholic father, I remember those breaks from the chaos of the home giving me the most peace I'd ever had. I remember spending more time at my friends than my own home. The first time I moved out I was 17. Nothing stuck until I was well into my twenties though, and the worst feeling in the world was failing after a year on my own and having to go back to that place. I've been on my own for two years now, and those problems still interfere with my daily life. And I never know when I'll get the call that my brother overdosed and died, or my father died of alcohol poisoning. Yet, I continue to chase a better version of me, because those bad examples will not be my future, they will not be my destiny. My father had maintained his sobriety for nearly a decade, when his mother died he took up the bottle again. He's 70 years old. He once told me, I could never achieve anything because I wasn't academically inclined.(But how could I be, when I was awoken to the sound of him and my brother brawling it out every night?) I'd attend school half asleep, and exhausted from the mental torture of having to hear my own family beat the hell out of each other. It seems those demons only get louder the further away I move. That said, I'm an Engineering student, who's also getting my NREMT certification back after several years of moving around and working blue collar jobs. My Councilor in High-school told me I could not get into any Universities or colleges. Yet, every single application I put in was accepted. This is kind of off topic of the whole desexualization, but alas, I needed to write a portion of that story out on paper. That's my little trauma dump. I appreciate your message, thanks.

"I don't care how jacked you are, how many tattoos you have, at the end of the day, most men are wounded little kids on the inside and they're just looking for validation and healing." That is very true. I very much feel that way. It's embarrassing. Because the world has told me that I'm not supposed to be that. That at 27, I'm supposed to be a grown man, financially stable, emotionally stable, physically in my peak condition, independent and ready to provide for a family. But I'm not. I'm not any of those things. And every male figure that I could've looked up to only has words to tell me that put me down. I'm doing it all myself, trying to learn and grow and be better. Not by the world's standards, just by my own. That being that I don't have to be ashamed to show my face anymore, that I don't have to hide my mistakes, genuine mistakes. I did many things that I shouldn't have done simply because I didn't understand. I wish I could go back and undo them, but I can't. And many of them are the only reason I learned how to understand why I shouldn't do that. Unfortunately, we humans are stupid that way, the only way we understand is by making mistakes. And we can avoid the mistakes but that puts a limit on our growth. We'll always be going off what someone else said and never have any knowledge of our own unless we make mistakes and figure it out for ourselves, why things are how they are. At the end of the day, I just want to make the little kid inside of me feel okay. Little kid though he may be, he does way cooler things than the grown up coward of a mask society tells me I should wear. I am not an evil man. I made mistakes. And I hope I can fix them. I don't know if I'll ever be able to. But it's my only hope.

Thank you for the amazing authenticity and vulnerability that you are sharing through KZfaq with each and every one of us, Brother! There are so many things in your story I can relate to, and I'm sure almost everyone else watching can, too. Back when I was a teenager trying to figure myself and the world out, I remember very vividly observing my sexual thoughts, judging them and trying to get rid of them. I ended up joining an evangelical church out of my own volition (my parents have never been particularly religious). The aspect of having a community helped me immensely with my personal growth back in the day. However, just as you said, things such as sexuality and porn were never discussed, which once again led me to a lot of internal conflict. I ended up leaving the church after 5-6 years, and that internal conflict definitely led me to a lot of risky behaviors in my 20s. Being in my 30s and having started my self-improvement and self-discovery journey, I'm extremely grateful for what you're sharing on here, as it helps me understand myself and others better. Thank you again Brother!!

i am 15 years old. Saw porn first time when i was 11. Since then i have been trying to stop but never succeed. I hate my face, my nose especially, i can not study because i only think about how my nose looks like, and my grades have dropped dramatically. My parents think that it's their fault my studyingl is going so bad. I really just want to be confident and stop my addiction. I am scared that if I don't stop I will end up maybe even dying. I can't talk about my problems and I know it is killing me

Thanks for the talk, I used to be addicted to porn and found easy satisfaction from it, I was also depressed, had anxiety and felt so lonely to the point I would question why I was here, and seeing people my age and younger die on the news and stuff it hurt me so much. But I know you said you left the "Christian" lifestyle but for me putting Faith into Jesus Christ has helped me with all that I said above. I think it took my Grandma to really open up my eyes to God. She was my only distant family I truly knew, everyone else would just come and ask for money and leave. She passes march 23 2021 from organ failure. And I can only thank God she looked for Him. Thank you.

My Father committed suicide shortly after I turned 17 as well. it's been 5 years and his death continues to be a looming blight on my mind I grapple with daily. Recognizing and learning from his actions in order to correct my own is the only result I can hope for... but that still doesn't make it any easier. thank you for sharing, it is incredibly brave of you.

Exercise, eat healthy, and meditation. As many people in these comment say, you are not alone. Pray if you can and try centre yourself back to a normalcy. This is a designed plan for the fools that play into it. There is so much more to life then the dilution of what we grew up around. I battle with being foolish but i see more light then ever compared to the hole i dug my self in and threw away the shovel. Never stop fighting to improve.

Man you have every right to be here on media sharing your story BIG THANKS: I remember: Years ago i suffered an addiction. my life seized, there was no direction, when i woke up, it was the same thing, heading to sleep, it was the same. i would weep and wail on the floor. Toss and turn in tears, praying to God to help me... over time, i then tossed away all the mediums i would have access through to these materials, (my smartphone majorly ), i restricted computer use to public places not in privacy, changed up a few friends.. and now am flourishing. its an honorable responsibility... there's no shame.

The ruined reputation is near impossible to come back from no matter how much redemption you obtained especially for a man. That's one of the things which truly drives the spirit of suicide. Worrying about the social backlash that comes afterwards, a lot of humans dont even have a mustard seed of forgiveness in their hearts, which is why we have so many issues in the world today.

@TheConsciousMan143 forgiveness of self is KEY! That I've come to understand now, it all starts within. No matter how bad it is or what you did, you have to forgive yourself, which again starts with being Honest and Truthful with yourself. Hell lie to the world, but NEVER to yourself.

Firstly, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad your father was able to open up in the way that he did and take responsibility for his actions before his passing, it shows he was a truly good person. For me, desexualizing your brain comes easiest when you focus on morality. I know you place an importance on mental health in this video, which is also important in motivating you, but in my experience I've had the most success through empathy for others and my mental health improves as a byproduct. For example, the sexualization of women does not begin in pornography. While it has decreased in recent years, women have often been sexualized in movies, tv shows, video games, and advertisements. This is often depicted as a major obstacle for women, which it is, but I'd say its just as much of an issue for men even though men often brush the issues with these depictions off. These portrayals of women are the first steps of the objectification of women, which allow us to eventually enjoy intense pornography regularly, and in the worst cases men go on to sexually assault women. Think about the amount of modern porn-addicted men who love video games which have the most revealing, sexualized displays of women. We therefore must be careful with all media we ingest, not just pornography, to ensure we continue seeing other human beings as people with their own emotions, ambitions, and loved ones rather than conquests. Once this mindset is realized sexual urges won't necessarily disappear, as they shouldn't since they're a natural part of humanity, but it'll be a lot more difficult to inappropriately act upon them knowing the tremendous consequences it could have on other people. Even with pornography, once you realize the amount of women in that industry who are trafficked, coerced, and forced by pimps to film it becomes a lot more difficult to enjoy such things. Regardless of the animalistic urges that make you want to watch, that more human side of your brain will have a harder time allowing you to indulge knowing the potential abuse people in that industry are going through. This, along with practicing mindfulness during meditation and exercise, have truly been the secret to success for me.
