Porn addiction is the continued use of porn to deal with uncomfortable feelings and moods in spite of the continued consequences. You know you should stop. You tell yourself to stop, but you keep looking anyway. The behavior, besides the immediate sexual gratification and the quick escape, leaves the person feeling guilty and shameful, and compounds itself with consequences and unmanageability in the person’s life. Often, the person engaging in the compulsive pornography addiction gains little satisfaction in the long run from the behavior. They often feel lonely, depressed and out of control, which in turn leads them back to the compulsive porn use in an attempt to feel better and escape the pain. if think you may have a problem with pornography addiction contact Luisa to get helped.

How Do I Know If I’m A Pornography Addict?
Here are some questions to ask yourself if think you may have a problem with pornography addiction.
  1. Have you tried to stop or set limits on your porn behavior and found that you were unsuccessful?
  2. Have you tried to resist certain looking at porn and found that you can’t?
  3. Have you spent an unreasonable amount of time consuming porn or recovering from these experiences, like lack of sleep or missing work obligations?
  4. Have you engaged in porn despite having other obligations such as work, marriage, or child care?
  5. Have you continued looking at porn despite knowing the consequences to work, family, and yourself?
  6. Have you had to give up social, occupational, or recreational activities to engage in porn?
  7. Do you find yourself being preoccupied with porn or preparing for viewing porn?
If you answered yes to three or more of these questions look further at what going on in your life. Waiting until you feel more comfortable or less shameful about your porn addiction is most likely not going to happen. Reaching out from the isolation and the double life of porn addiction means that things may be different. You may feel very alone, isolated even; but the truth is, you don’t have to be.
