Quick Tip for Kicking Porn: Make it a point to connect for at least a few minutes a day with loved ones.
Porn may have become a quick and dirty way for you to relieve stress. It takes you immediately out of the geared up "fight or flight" mode and into "feed or breed" mode. But there's another, better way of calming our nervous systems! Reach out and connect in healthy little everyday interactions. So set a goal and make it a habit. Stop Isolating! Get Real--Kick Porn!
"[It's the] only source of healthy affect regulation that is available to us:
healthy interpersonal attachment."
--Thomas Lewis and coauthors in A General Theory of Love
"It's much less wear and tear on us if we have someone there to help regulate us."
--Psychologist and Neuroscientist James A. Coan
