Pornography Addiction

CHANGE YOUR LIFE TODAY!

WHY THIS ISSUE IS DANGERS?

Pornography addiction is not only characterised by inordinate time spent consuming explicit material, but also the consequences of such consumption.

When the intake of graphic content causes a person to become disassociated or isolated, develop unrealistic or harmful expectations, or to attempt to fill emotional or social voids, the use becomes problematic.

WHEN IT BECOMES PROBLEMATIC?

People with a cybersex addiction often display a gradual increase in symptoms over time, which creates problems in daily life and relationships.

Some symptoms of pornography addiction include:

  • Long periods of time being spent viewing pornography
  • Lack of interest in other activities, including those previously enjoyed
  • Feelings of shame or depression regarding use; attempts to keep frequency of use hidden from others
  • Inability or disinterest in forming lasting romantic relationships
  • Isolation from friends and family
  • Trouble at school or work due to misuse of technology

While there is some debate over whether this behaviour constitutes an addiction or a compulsion, there is consensus that when negative results occur, this is a key indicator that intervention and treatment is needed.

Internet And Gaming Addiction Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS BEHAVIOURAL DISORDER?
Behavioural disorder refers to a range of conditions characterised by persistent patterns of disruptive or problematic behaviours that significantly impact an individual’s daily functioning and social interactions. These disorders typically manifest in childhood or adolescence and can affect various aspects of a person’s life, including their academic performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Each disorder has its own set of symptoms and diagnostic criteria, but they generally involve difficulties with impulse control, emotional regulation, and adherence to social norms and rules.
WHAT IS PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION?
Pornography addiction, also called cybersex addiction, is a behavioural disorder characterised by excessive, problematic viewing of graphic, sexually explicit material. Viewers are now able to get online with a variety of devices in almost any setting. This unparalleled accessibility of explicit content via the internet is a major contributing factor in the recent recognition of this disorder, particularly among teens and young adults.
HOW TO HELP SOMEONE WITH A PORNOGRAPHY PROBLEM?
Both inpatient and outpatient treatment options offer the potential for rehabilitation from porn addiction. As pornography is a process addiction, re-routing patterns of behaviour, establishing effective stress management techniques, and learning relapse prevention methods are very important. Discussing your concerns and symptoms with a therapist is an important first step in determining how to address your porn addiction.
