In this brief dialogue from Samir Gardner's YouTube video "The benefits of quitting porn," Speaker A asks what benefits one would experience by leaving PMO (pornography) behind. Speaker B challenges the premise, suggesting instead to consider the benefits of continuing the behavior, implying that there are no real benefits to quitting. The exchange highlights a reframing of the question and suggests a perceived lack of positive outcomes from quitting porn.
What were the main benefits that you would experience leaving PMO completely behind?
Instead of thinking, what are the benefits if I stop? I rather thought that, what are the benefits if I keep doing it?
So instead of— You realize there's a lack of benefits, right?
Yeah. So it's like, why? If I have to write reasons, find me 20 reasons, you know, like it was just that there's no benefits. And not only there's no benefits, it hurts you. It's rather to think, what are the benefits if you're doing it? I have those benefits now. All right, I have good grades and I have a good base, a good foundation for my agency. I'm going to lose it if I don't stop watching it. Like the benefit there doesn't compare.
