Porn Addiction
Porn addiction is the overindulgence or manipulation of pornographic material
that leads to negative outcomes in one’s life. The person addicted to porn cannot
control the overwhelming impulse to watch porn and continues these destructive behaviors
even in light of negative consequences. Isolated from real human contact, porn addicts
subsequently find themselves alone and with only their computer for company. For
the addict, pornography diminishes the actors as human beings and leads to a loss
of intimacy.
Porn addiction progresses similar to a drug addiction in that, after an
earlier satisfying experience with pornography, individuals may begin to experience
an overpowering compulsion to reach sexual fulfillment through that form of activity.
Hence, the feedback loop between Internet porn and sexual satisfaction is positively
strengthened. This in turn creates behavioral impulses that become more powerful
as well as more frequent. The links between sexual stimulation and porn addiction
can escalate to a point where merely sitting down in front of a computer produces
a sexual reaction.
