Just in case you are wondering; I choose the screen name "father" because of the love I have for my kids, not because i am affiliated with any religious sect. I specifically choose this site because it primarily is not a "Religious or Christian" site. It seems to be very un-biased and open.

Hey Father, I wanted to reply with """""""YES"""" in deed internet porn is like crack for sexual addicts. Anything used to the extreame is a problem. When something controls your whole life and you don't have a handle on it.... it's a addiction. Honestely thou, i'm not anti porn. I see porn as having a place in a healthy relationship...... as long as it dose not become all consuming. When it become the focas of your life you should seek ways find help. I'm no expert i'm just a recovering heroin addict.

Sex addiction can manifest itself in many ways including addiction to pornography. It usually is connected with very low sense of self worth and manifests as when some sexual behavior is used as a kind of medication to relieve uncomoftable emotions. When not in a deesculation phase, it is seen as an obsession filled with ritualistic behaviors. Tyoically the acting out is followed by feelings of guilt and shame which in turn are numbed again by the behavior. I would suggest reading Contrary to Love, getting therapy, and/or joining SAA.

Also, just for the regular non-addicted porn user I would suggest reading Getting Off: Pornography and the end of Masculinity - it just might give you a different perspective.
