How I Went from a 10-Year-Old Looking at Porn to a Suicidal “Sex Fiend” Article
“I’m not a pedophile, I’m attracted to adult women. I was just so addicted to porn that I could only get the same high with content that was ‘taboo.'”

“Upon realizing what I had done, and have been doing all these years, I was sickened. Because that’s the truth: porn flattens people into images and ignores their humanity.”
We sat down with YouTuber Chaz Smith and asked all about what it’s like to decidedly go against the grain of pop culture by speaking out about porn. Here’s what he had to say.
“What teen boys learn about sex from porn impacts teen girls, too. My female students talk to me about relationships and I hear a lot of anxiety.”
What started as a chance viewing of magazines has evolved into a full-blown struggle with consuming violent porn focused on pain and humiliation.
“I was 16 when a secret online crush introduced me to the world of anime. As a sheltered daughter from a conservative home, I was instantly enamored.”
Women can be addicted to porn too. It’s not just a “male problem.” I was married and had children before I confided in my husband.
“I started actively seeking out pornography when I was 14 years old. I’d seen porn before when my friends would call me over and show me pictures.”
In 2007, two events opened the floodgate for easy access to free porn on a large scale: the release of the iPhone and PornHub’s official launch. It’s all evolved from there.
Have you considered how porn can’t cure your loneliness during this time, or even cure your boredom…but it can actually make those things worse?
“Did I feel like this when I was addicted to porn? Did I feel like I wanted to be with porn, love it and marry it? Did porn give me this giddy feeling? NO.”
The reality is, not all men take sexual pleasure in the pain, degradation, and humiliation of others. But we wouldn’t necessarily know that just by looking at the mainstream porn industry that claims to show everyone’s “fantasies,” would we?
