Are you tired of falling back into old patterns on your journey to quitting porn? Buffering, as I call it in my world, describes the activities we engage in to escape uncomfortable emotions we might be experiencing, which can look like anything from viewing porn to overeating or overspending.
Why does the habit of viewing porn cause so much pain and suffering? Does trying to overcome it feel like an obsession? What does OCD have to do with porn use? And how might you identify if OCD is present for you?
It’s easy to think that the concepts I’m sharing here are complicated and that you need to work through everything to experience the benefit of this work. That’s why I decided to create the Keep It Simple series, so you can take small steps toward overcoming pornography.
This week, I’m speaking with Madi Davis, a 19-year-old student whose mission is to help girls who struggle with pornography. She’s a freshman at BYU and the host of the Sisters On The Front Lines Podcast where she speaks about and aims to combat the shame surrounding young women struggling with pornography.
