Effects of pornography and yogic remedies to control it

Abstract:- In the digital era, the easy availability of the internet has brought about radical changes in human lifestyle. Although these changes have increased the convenience of acquiring knowledge and communicating, some serious social and psychological problems have also arisen. One of the major problems is the addiction to watching pornography. The easy availability of pornography has a serious impact on the mental, physical, and emotional health of a person. This habit gradually takes the form of addiction and while affecting mental health, it also affects relationships, work life, and overall social behavior. Watching porn is initially done to relieve stress or for entertainment, but its long-term effects are more serious, such as loss of confidence, loneliness, and distancing from real relationships. Yoga is an effective solution to such problems. Yoga is not only useful for physical fitness, but also for purifying the mind and soul. It is possible to control the mind through yogic techniques such as meditation, pranayama, and asanas. These techniques go to the root of the addiction and solve the problem. Adopting a sattvic diet and a positive lifestyle changes a person's thinking and gives a new direction to life. The researcher has made an attempt to explain the effects of pornography addiction and to analyze the yogic remedies to control it through yogic measures through this research paper. With the help of yoga and meditation, positive energy can be created in the mind of a person, which is effective in getting out of this addiction.
