WHY PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION IS DANGERS?
Pornography addiction is not only characterised by excessive 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 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.
