Ever since i was exposed to porn at age 12 it has affected every aspect of my life its affected my general quality of health, my relationships. And my feeling towards women as my view of them has become warped i dont think of them as just sex toys or anything but instead every time i do talk to my girlfriend or any girl my age my body reacts horribly

@pluckyBunny9969 Hello. I am sorry to hear that you have been exposed as a teenager to something that might harm to even an adult man's behavioural, thinking and emotional patterns.

You didn't mention what kind of reactions you experience - are they good (excitement, arousal), or bad (fear, nausea)? - that could be crucial.

In my view pornography is some kind of an "intimacy fast food". It omits some very important areas like relationship-building and going through some cloudier days (which may happen in every relationship). It can be easily switched on or off, whenever you need - what is not like in the real life. If there is any violence in that, trying to replicate it in a real world can be really bad. I guess the way is to learn your brain and your body how to "eat healthy".

The kind of reaction is arousal but instead of it being it just being random it happens every time i talk to a girl but i dont even have to be thinking about anything intimate
