Pornography Addiction

Not only confined to men, but as a problem it is probably more widespread in men. This behaviour may have started in a very low key way and often during or before puberty, it can and does for some but get out of control and can cause distress for the man who feels addicted. I’ve worked with men, and help them stop, who state that they have watched up to 8 hours a day! 

Men (and women) will obviously engage in watching porn overwhelmingly in secret and alone; and feel guilt and various other negative emotions, they may also feel trapped as well as addicted. Some have been caught and their partners have found it objectionable, some relationships will end if or when someone is caught. And also for his family if it is discovered it can a detrimental effect on various aspects of family dynamics. 

In fact according to research about 50% of women do also watch pornography, and there are many reports on this subject.

Rest assure help is at hand and both hypnotherapy and NLP are great ways of getting to the bottom of any inner issues regarding this, there is likely to be a root cause for any compulsion to watch. Once this is discovered we can and will move on to ways to stop this addiction.

What Is Pornography Addiction?

Pornography addiction is a compulsive need to view pornography despite negative consequences. While many health and psychiatric professionals do not consider compulsive porn use a true “addiction,” the signs and symptoms are often strikingly similar to those of behavioral addictions.

What separates a porn addiction from a keen interest in porn is the negative consequences of the behavior. With porn addiction, you spend an inordinate amount of time watching porn instead of interacting with others or completing important tasks. The behavior persists even if it harms your career, relationships, or state of well-being

As the American Psychological Association (APA) notes, experts don’t agree about the effects of pornography.1 Proponents suggest that it can help people improve their sex lives and provide a safe outlet for desires. Opponents believe it damage relationships, contributes to sexual aggression, and creates unhealthy or destructive behaviors.

This article discusses the symptoms and causes of porn addiction. It also covers some of the treatment options that may be helpful.

Symptoms

Arguments in support of healthy porn use don’t detract from the serious harm porn addiction can cause, both to the person dealing with the addiction and those around them.

If you are concerned about your porn viewing, there are some warning signs to consider. You might have a porn addiction if:

You are consumed with thoughts of porn even when you are not actively watching it.

You view porn on your cell phone at work or in social situations where you might be seen.

You feel ashamed, guilty, or depressed about your porn viewing.

You continue to watch porn despite the harm it has had, is having, or may have on your relationships, work, or home life.

You experience reduced sexual satisfaction with partners when pornography is not involved.

You hide your porn and porn viewing from your partner and family members.

You get upset when asked to cut back on or stop looking at porn.

You lose track of time when viewing porn.

You have tried to quit watching porn but have not been successful.

A 2020 study found that 56.6% of participants reported watching pornography at some point during their life. The study also found that compulsive pornography use was associated with higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
