Hmm did you have a merry christmas with big questions like these running through your head?!
I think the real trick is aligning yr work and duty with what you enjoy!
If other people make unreasonable demands on you ignore them or ditch them!
On the pleasure note I think it's good to have periods of abstinence to reset your pleasure centres once in a while... e.g. give up beer for a month (or whatever period)... I really think Islam has the right idea with Ramadan once a year....
Giving up things periodically makes you appreciate things more.
Otherwise you just normalise headonism and become like those sad old men propping up bars, or I guess for today's youngsters a porn addict!

Haha I did, actually ;) I always have big thoughts going through the back of my head, so it was normal. A bit of Christmas, a bit of existential angst. All good.:))
As for abstinence, perhaps you have a good point here. Although I keep thinking yeah, but you might die the next day and never get to that delayed pleasure :) and does it count if I abstain for a day? :D
Jokes aside, I do agree that absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. Anything can become normal and that in turn can prove quite dangerous for you.
I think there's a lot more to be said about porn addiction, especially among young people. Because while I do believe there's pleasure to be had, I also think a lot of it comes from a sense of fear, of disappointment, of embarrassment. There's something safe about a pornographic video, because after all, you control it, it's just an image on your screen. It can't hurt you or reject you and I doubt it will laugh at you because you're bad at it (fears that are present in a young person's head). But it's a very good point. Thank you for commenting! :)
Of course the real tough thing to give up is thinking!
I keep meaning to dig out some research on porn it's interesting.... problem is I don't trust the search engines!
