I know that nerves can play a part in bowel regularity. I don't know if that could have something to do with it. did you change you diet or anything else during that time.

Hi Johnny,

No - my diet has not changed all these years.  The reason was, as you say, nerves - and very highly charged ones too!

Like you said man. My best guess is that it was your nerves but I'm not a dr. You may have returned to porn as a coping mechanism during you turbulent times. Also sometimes with Satan he will tempt you most when your down or when you are most vulnerable. My worst boubts with porn were when I was also using drugs. I even graduated to escorts and topless bars. These are things that don't even tempt me now. But then I was so low I think Satan saw an easy target. I lost everything.

I've never had violent physical reactions to porn like you mention. I do seem to loose my temper more and be more agitated when I use porn. I also tend to get depressed and feel guilty. Sometimes people do have physical symptoms associated with depression. I work in mental health and I see countless clients who have back pain, ulcers or other physical symptoms. Other suffer poor sleep and appetite. And as you know when you don't get enough sleep or food your body can't cope with illness as well.

Hope this helps. I appreciate your encouraging remarks to some of my posts. I have not acted out yet.I also run a business. I lusted after two customers yesterday. I also woke up in the middle of the night for no reason. I was very tempted to mastrubate but I didn't. I think Satan saw the opportunity when I was awake last night to tempt me. I feel like I have been awaken to the danger os Satan and the promise of god. I truly fear Satan's ability to tempt me and damn my soul. and I love God more for giving me his spirit to resist.

Thanks for your thoughtful response, Johnny.  I agree that susceptibility to be tempted to look at porn was greatest at a time of greatest stress and turmoil in my life.  Interesting to hear you work in mental health.  Most of the time, I can control my reactions to noise, with the aid of ear plugs which I also wear in public.  Although SSRI drugs are sometimes prescribed to people with hypersensitivity to noise, the efficacy of using these has yet to be proved.

Depression and Mania can cause increased sensitivity to noise. There are alot of good drugs that are not SSRI's you could talk to your Dr. about.
