Ex-porn addict Mwakazi reveals how he got hooked: I was introduced by my classmate who lied to me

Former Citizen TV news anchor Johnson Mwakazi has opened up on his fight against porn addiction saying that he was first introduced by a classmate. He was only in class eight.

“I was in class 8 and my friend suggested that we go watch a film adding that he would pay for it. I did not know what kind of film it was but I followed him anyway. I found out later that the film my friend had offered to pay for me was actually pornography after that I  also looked for a friend of mine and decided to pay for him so that he could watch,” he said.

He added: “The first day I watched pornography I was afraid to even look my mum in the eye. In form 1 is when one teacher stood in class and advised us that watching such films is a sin.”

Effects

Mwakazi, who went to rehab and is now clean, shared in the Radio Jambo interview that men should totally avoid pornography because it has some really bad effects, including, breaking marriages.

“As a man when you watch pornography yes you will get aroused but it is not normal. Every time you arouse yourself through pornography you become an animal. We are told that everyone who has faith practices it through his actions whether in the morning, at noon or at night. To my fellow men if you have been watching porn ran away from it. Marriages are breaking and people are losing jobs.The only way to clear a man’s mind is to stay away from such.” he said.
