39: Video Games and Porn Addiction

Do you have an issue with porn addiction and video game
addiction? 


If so, you’re not alone, my friend. I used to have both of these
addictions, and I’ve known many men (and some women) who have
struggled with these as well. 


Video games and porn go hand-in-hand. 


And I’m not talking about the simple fact that video games have
sexual content in them sometimes - perfect, animated women that
defy reality. That’s triggering (obviously), but I’m talking
about something much deeper. 


In this episode, we’re going to talk about how playing video
games can make you more susceptible to porn addiction. And we’ll
talk about some strategies to minimize or quit playing video
games so that you can make it easier to quit porn. 


We’ve talked about pleasure conditioning in previous episodes.
This is the concept that the more high stimulation, low effort
activities you participate in, the more susceptible you will be
to pornography addiction (or any addiction for that
matter). 


At the same time, the more high effort, high reward activities
you participate in, the more susceptible you will be to addiction
recovery. 


In order to break free of porn addiction, we need to fill our
lives with meaning. We need to break the habit of treating life
as if we are to “consume it upon [our] lusts”. 


But this is easier said than done, right? Most of us addicts, as
far as I’ve seen, genuinely want to be good people and do good
things. We just have this monkey on our back that we can’t seem
to shake. 


In today’s episode, I’m going to teach you how to shake off the
monkey.
