Top 10 Signs You Are Addicted To Pornography

All addictions, whether alcohol, drugs, gambling, food or p****graphy, start when the drug of choice is used as a crutch to combat feelings of anxiety, low self- esteem, boredom, loneliness and/or anger. There is not a sharp line that defines addiction – it is a process which happens over time. It can happen with an initial exposure or gradually over many months, or even years. Most addictions escalate, which means that, over time, more and more of the drug of choice is needed.Here are some signs of p****graphy addiction. Any of these things indicate a serious problem and possible addiction. More than three of these things indicate probable addiction.

1. An inability to stop the behavior(s) and P0*n use despite previous attempts to do so

Do you feel like you are no longer the one in charge – the compulsion is stronger than your will power?

2. Anger or irritability if asked to stop

Would you feel defensive or angry if you were asked to decrease or quit your P0*n use?

3. Hiding all or a portion of P0*n use

Do you live a double or secret live related to your P0*n use? Do you justify and rationalize your p****graphy use?

4. Continuing the behavior despite obvious consequences, such as a relationship or job loss

How hard would it be to give up P0*n if a job, marriage, relationship, or friendship were in jeopardy?

5. Getting lost while using P0*n (i.e., spending more time than intended, losing track of time). How often do you totally lose track of time when viewing P0*n? How often to you spend more time than you intended? (Once I start, I just want to go on and on.)

6. p****graphy consumes thoughts – constant fantasies about it

Is your p****graphy use a high priority in your life?

7. Significant emotional distance from those around you and an inability to be emotionally intimate in real-life relationships. Emotionally, are you more attached to the fantasy world of P0*n than the challenging world around you? Would you rather look at P0*n than be with friends or family?

8. Having to look at more and more p****graphy for the same thrill you used to get

Are you looking at things and doing things which you used to think you’d never do?

9. Using P0*n as a way to cope with life stresses

Do you turn to P0*n as a way to cope with stress, anger, loneliness, boredom, or feelings of low self-esteem?

10. Rough or demanding when you engage in s*x or are emotionally distant during s*x. Are you critical of your partner’s appearance, implying they aren’t sexy enough. Are you fundamentally angry or frustrated with relationships, s*x and intimacy in the ‘real world’? Is the world or P0*n where you’re most comfortable?
