WHAT IS PORN ADDICTION?
Porn addiction is when viewing pornography is no longer something you choose to do; instead, it becomes a response to compulsive urges. Likewise, you may have an addiction if viewing is excessive and interrupts everyday activities. Many who find themselves ready to get help realize they want to stop but can't.
Currently, porn addiction is not in the DSM. However, there are similar behavioral addictions like gambling. However, many therapists develop treatment plans based on other criteria and underlying issues. Likewise, there are many resources available that may help you find the help you need.

CONTACT US3 Ways Porn Addiction Can Steal Your Life
1. Porn addiction can lead to isolation.
Many people addicted to pornography find themselves feeding their addiction in secrecy. For example, you may come up with reasons why you need to be alone. However, over time, all that alone time can result in feelings of loneliness and loss of connection. As such, you may begin to turn to your addiction to escape from those feelings.
2. Porn Addiction Hurts Relationships
Another way porn addiction can steal your life is through intimacy. For example, you may view pornography to create more arousal during intimacy. It may seem harmless. However, like many, pornography can quickly distort fantasy and reality. As a result, you may begin to feel frustration during intimacy. Over time, you may find intimacy is no longer enjoyable without porn. As the addiction takes over, your screen can become more appealing than a physical connection with your partner.
3. Porn Addiction May Lead to Legal or Financial Issues
A final way your porn addiction may steal your life is when it results in legal or financial issues. Like many addicts, you may find yourself having to explain all the extra charges on your credit card. Likewise, you may find yourself viewing illegal films in an effort to satisfy your cravings. Like many, your addiction may lead you to a place you never imagined possible.
The good news is, there is a way to get your life back. Porn addiction doesn't have to be part of your life forever.
