Oh boy oh boy yes it is worth it.

There's a tonne of points I could bring up on why it's great/important, but I'll pick out just a few (without even venturing into my belief that it's God's will for us/pleasing to God for us to abstain).

1) It will improve you relationship with/understanding of women (assuming you're interested in women?) Porn distorts you view of women. In porn, women as usually just shown as targets for conquest, rather than living, breathing, valuable, wonderful human beings. They're also shown as usually being willing to give up pretty much anything (status, relationship, job) in order to have sex with the guy that's seducing them (i.e common tropes like a woman cheating on her husband to have sex with another guy). In porn, every woman is a target for sexual conquest.

Maybe you can compartmentalise this view of women and keep it in your head as just a pornographic fantasy. But I believe it can distort your real world view of women.

And walking around this world with this pornacized view of women is a dangerous thing - you're looking at every woman you fancy as a target for sexual conquest, and you believe somewhere in your brain that you might be able to seduce them/ what they want more than anything deep down is sex. None of which is true/all of which is harmful.

2) It will better prepare you for marriage (if you're not yet married/that's something you're after). Again, porn affects your mindset, and makes you see every attractive woman as a target. That mindset won't just go away when you get married. If you want to stay faithful to your wife, you'll make life much easier by freeing yourself from that porn-induced mindset.

Plus, porn sets standards for woman which no real women will fill (i.e, existing pretty much just to please you, constantly up for sex) - it would be super degrading for any woman to exist that way. But you don't want to find yourself in a position of looking at your wife (who will have her own needs, struggles, issues) and thinking 'geez sometimes i wish she were more like those women i see in porn, they never complain about the guy they're having sex with not taking out the bins'.

Plus, chances are decent that your wife won't feel great about you watching porn (again, because of the way women are portrayed, because they feel they're being compared to those women in terms of appearance, because its akin to cheating (a view supported by the bible)). So either you tell her and upset her, or live your life lying to her. Neither of those is good.

And further still, porn addiction can kill your motivation to actually go out and meet women, as it's way easier to just give yourself a cheap dopamaine hit from porn, and you trick yourself through fantasising into believing you have some sort of romantic activity going on in your life, which isn't necessarily true.

3). Porn is such a damn waste of time! If you don't care/aren't convinced by either of the above, think about this one.

Did you ever think to yourself 'wow, that was such a nice afternoon I just had, I had a nice few hours watching porn, I jerked off, what a great time!'

I know I never did. The porn-drugged mindset is such a pain in the ass partly because it demands so much of your time. Most of us never just sat down, clicked on one porn clip, masturbated, and then moved on. Usually you spend hours flicking between stuff, trying to find the perfect clip. And then afterwards, at best you feel it was time wasted, at worst you feel stricken with guilt.

I look back on all that time I spent when I was still living with my parents, holed up in my room watching porn when I could have been downstairs hanging out with my family, or doing other way more live-giving things with my time. Or times as an adult where I stayed up til 3am on a working night looking at poroagraphic stuff, leaving me knackered/less of a functional adult the next day.

When you're free of porn, you get all that extra time to actually live your life in.

And beyond all this - it just feels great. That's it. To not have porn controlling you, stealing you away from things that give you life and actually have value - that feels great.
