Sexual addiction is real and problematic
I feel like I am addicted to porn but I don’t really understand how this can happen? I understand how addiction happens when you drink or take drugs, but how can just looking at pictures and movies cause a brain addiction?
Read answer →Internet Porn Addiction Restricts the Likelihood for Intimacy and Respect
If I look at porn on the internet every night that is degrading to women am I a sex addict? I do not know why I am attracted to this type of movie. Will looking at porn that is degrading to women make me think of women in a different way during the day? I am not very comfortable talking to women but I am trying. I have an online relationship with a woman for the first time in a while. It feels like a lie to talk nicely to her one minute and then switch to watching movies the next. I do not want to become the kind of person that thinks badly of women because I really do not feel that way now. I do not want to become like the people I see humiliating women on the videos I watch, but I always go back to watching these types of videos. Afterwards I am disgusted with myself. I am confused about why I do this and about whether I have a problem and if I do, what the consequences of this problem might be for me.

Am I a sex addict if I only have a problem with porn after drinking or smoking pot? When I do not get drunk or high I don’t very often look at porn, only once in a while. But if I get drunk I will always come home after a night out and jerk off to porn on my laptop. I always wake up feeling very ashamed about what I did the night before. I do this 2 or 3 times a week. I am embarrassed by what I look at. I will look at pictures when drunk and get turned on by stuff that does not interest me when not drunk. I am embarrassed to say what but it is stuff that if my wife ever caught me she would have a very big problem with it. Also, she could easily walk in on me because when I get drunk I get careless and look at porn in the room next to where she is sleeping and she could walk out and catch me at any time. I want to stop looking at porn but I always go back to it once drunk. If I can’t control my impulses to look at porn am I addicted?
