Pornography Addiction

Porn Addicts, much like sex addicts compulsively pursue sexual behaviors despite them causing harm to themselves and/or others. Sex addicts have an inability to limit their sexual behavior and exposure to damaging sex-related consequences. Specific behaviors vary widely from spending hours watching pornography, compulsive masturbation, one-night stands, prostitution, voyeurism, exhibitionism, love & relationship addiction, intrusive sex, phone sex, and many more. Escalation occurs when acting out behaviors go from having a “good time” to simply “feeding the beast” using sex to escape the pain of living life on life’s terms.
