A man has revealed that he accumulated 18 terabytes of porn on his computer and took the bold step of deleting it all to help him overcome his addiction.
一名男子透露自己的電腦裡收藏18兆位元組的色情影片，只能採取大膽行動全部刪除，幫助自己克服這種成癮症。
A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes, so the man’s 18 terabyte collection is equivalent to 5,400 hours of high quality video or 64.8 million images. At a rate of watching eight hours of video per day, it would have taken him 20 months of daily viewing to get through his entire collection just once.
1兆位元組等於1000吉位元組，該名男子的18TB收藏，相當於5400小時的高畫質影片或6480萬張圖片。以每天觀看8小時計算，他得花上20個月才能將所有影片看過一遍。
"I would spend days at a time just downloading video after video," the man said. However, he explained that despite being fit, he lost his erection when having sex with his girlfriend multiple times. "It’s definitely the porn, I know it is."
男子說：「我會一口氣花好幾天一部接一部下載。」然而，他解釋，儘管自己身體強健，但好幾次與女朋友親熱時，卻沒辦法勃起。「絕對是色情影片的關係，我很清楚。」
"18 terabytes of poison. 18 terabytes of lying to yourself and eluding yourself. 18 terabytes of social awkwardness and lack of confidence. 18 terabytes of a fake relationships with paid actors on screen."
「18TB的毒藥。18TB的自我欺騙及自我逃避。18TB的社交障礙和缺乏自信。18TB與螢幕上收費演員的虛假關係。」
Many men agreed that deleting their collection was a big step in getting over the addiction. "The sensation of [being] able to drag each girl of your preference and categorizing them can be addictive."
許多男性同意，刪掉所有收藏就是克服癮症的一大步。「能把自己偏愛的每個女孩放入文件並加以歸類的感覺，很容易讓人上癮。」
