22:00 “Did you notice that you were wanting it more but enjoying it less?” “I was basically a slave to watching porn. I felt like it controlled me. … When I started realizing it was controlling me, I knew there had to be answers somewhere.”
“My mind was clear. I got more things done. … This feels good; I’m actually doing work.”
“If we don’t have those boundaries in place we’re never going to experience freedom.”

Myunique is a content creator and influencer. Today she lives a life free from pornography but that hasn’t always been the case. Myunique watched porn for the first time at ten years old, she wasn’t aware how that decision would negatively impact her life for years to come.
What started as a natural curiosity about sex eventually escalated into compulsive sexual behavior which left her feeling lonely, and negatively impacted her overall mental health.
As a young girl, she didn’t feel comfortable opening up to anyone about her porn consumption because of the misconception that only guys struggled with it. That all changed when she stumbled upon an article by Fight the New Drug.
In this Consider Before Consuming episode, Myunique talks with podcast host Garrett Jonsson about why her porn habit began, how her consumption escalated, and why education about the harmful effects of pornography empowered her to overcome her struggles.
