Blunt and Honest, One of it's Kind

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2015)

"Every man everywhere watches porn everyday." That's certainly what men believe that truly struggle with porn. For them, it's hard NOT to believe. I would certainly believe that basically all men struggle with this in someway, for sure.
When I say that this movie was blunt, it certainly is. It shows basically exactly what goes through men's heads when they look at porn and to be honest, they hit it exactly on the mark. That is something that should be praised about this film: it is honest to the core. I was really amazed at that. They really put you in the head of Jon and if there is someone out there that doesn't understand exactly what men go through, well, this film will tell you, that's for sure. I'm serious.
The message in this film goes out to both men and women, basically helping women realize that pornography is an addiction that men REALLY struggle to control. For men, the film makes it very clear that pornography ruins relationships, it takes away intimacy and loyalty in your thoughts to your spouse (I'm sure most that struggle realize this already). It is a distraction from things that are most important. Women will learn in this film that shutting men off simply because they have had or currently struggle with a porn addiction is actually very selfish, just like men who do not at all attempt to overcome their porn addiction is very selfish. Both aspects are extremely one-sided and, based on how you look at it, are equally harmful to a relationship. Women that show no sympathy and don't attempt to help are in the wrong, and men that believe that porn is an OK side-addiction are in the wrong as well.
I would recommend this movie to women that want to understand why men struggle more than I would to men. It still gets those hormones rolling for men and, honestly, if you are trying to already clear your mind of pornographic thoughts, this movie won't help too much. For women, however, you will get an EXTREMELY clear picture of pornography, and basically see it at its extreme. You will see why men turn to it when they go through a break-up, why it still occurs despite having consistent sex with a wonderful partner, how it consumes a man's inner thoughts, and why they go to such far lengths to hide it. You have to have a mature mind, though, and not let yourself get too curious and carried away. Women have been addicted to porn before, too.
I'm glad they made this film, but I would never watch it again. Being a guy and obviously struggling with this addiction myself from time to time, it won't help ME to overcome it. The girls are obviously sexy and the quick flashes to porn videos are erotic and purposefully trying to turn men on. I would hope that men that watch this film do not watch it for the purpose of getting off, as well. The film doesn't deserve that kind of reaction.
Now, for me personally, I would love to watch a film that showed an actually loving father and husband who is struggling with this addiction and how the family works through it (rather than just a single guy that has the addiction really bad). I believe that much of our society specifically struggles with this exact issue and it really can hurt not only one's spouse, but children as well. Perhaps this film might inspire a modern film like that. Regardless, this film deserves tons of credit. It is extremely eye opening, especially to people that don't really understand why this can be such and addiction and a go- to.
