Do you have a problem? Ask yourself this simple question. Do you ever search for porn to the exclusion of more important activities (working, eating properly, exercising, etc.)? If so, then yes, you have a problem.

Are my emotions being toyed with here?

There are sites to place your query, but of course Swiss dude, this is not it. All here are wankers and proud of it.

If you're serious, my take on it is that pleasure is very addictive and being dudes, we have a biological propensity toward dreaming about it. Porno is the dream fulfillment of the male psyche in a world without much free expression of erotic territory. We've capped off our liberal use of sharing pleasure/eroticism for outdated socio-religious designs. And since few of us have the money to consistently spend on paying others to spank us, we're left with elbow arthritis and high lube bills. In fact...believe me I know personally...that many entered this trade of making porno, because of being addicts.

Balance in all things Swiss guy. Until there's a resurgence of '60's style free-sex again (and I pray every day for it), you need to GET IN CONTROL. First, switch hands from time to time because that elbow thing is a doosey. Then back off and find other things to focus on from time to time. Break it up a little. Quit spending eight hours straight frying your retna's. Get a friend to hike with you in those killer Swiss Alps to take you away from the DVD player once in awhile, if not once a day. Then slow down on the porn consumption by only buying the real good shit...like Evil Angel titles. Spank less with killer porn!

If these aren't helpful you got two other possibilites. Focus on getting rich (which will take you away from the monitors) so you can hire professionals to help you with your self-professed problem. Or start making porno for the internet. Everybody else is....

Whatever you do, make each moment count Swiss fella! You don't want to be on your death bed remembering nothing but the dark haired Latina from Volume 47 of Ed Powers Dirty Debutantes. Or do you?

I've been watching porn since about 1995/1996. Must have been about 14 or 15 when I watched my Dad's first porno (one of Ben Dover's). He didn't mind at all. In fact, he encouraged me to watch it and thought it would be much better for me to watch porn then those violent 18 rated films I used to watch at the time

Looking back, I agree with him completely. Give me a good porn over a violent film any day!

However, there's a specific medical model for "addiction", which is much stricter than that.

There's also a specific psychological model for obsession/compulsion, which is stricter as well.

Then there's guilt, shame, ideology, and power-plays within relationships.

It's a complicated soup.

[Link]

as long as it does not interfere with the everday things you have to do to live a regular life, i consider it a healthy addiction, just another form of entertainment.

[Link]

I'm so full of that fucking soup I could choke.

[Link]

If you're really worried about it, get counselling. Talk to a professional about it, since the root problem isn't the porn, it's your compulsion to watch it. It's possible your compulsions may be bothering you in other areas as well--so if you can take charge of your life in this area, you may find yourself in better control in other areas as well.

Another alternative: send us everything you have and we'll review it to see if it's really a problem or not. ;)

[Link]

Likewise, if you aren't getting your sexual release from porn you've got to get it somewhere else. If you refuse to go get laid then it's no surprise you end up back watching porn.

[Link]

On the other hand, if you REALLY want to quit watching and you can't, I don't know what to say...except for that you may be wanting to quit for the wrong reasons (In other words, someone else wants you to quit or you want to quit because you feel guilty or something). I would think that if you really wanted to stop, it wouldn't be all that difficult. Somewhere, in there, there's some part of you that doesn't really want to stop. And then, there's the issue of masturbation. Masturbation is a lifelong thing for most men (as long as they can get it up). Even if you stop watching porn (assuming you're male), you're still probably gonna want to masturbate. Many of us need suitable fantasy material for masturbation (My imagination stopped being that good when I realized technology could do most of the work for me and I was working much harder than I needed to).

If you don't have porn when you masturbate, won't you miss it?

[Link]

I do believe porn addiction can be very strong, when a shipment of porn arrives at my door, it's a good day no matter what.

I didn't choose porn over something... I choose it instead of nothing.

Whether or not I ever watched porn the rest of my life, I would still live a "life of isolation, depression, frustration, and intense loneliness" by conventional standards. Why those of us who "learned the truth, At Seventeen" should be expected to subject ourselves to the cruelty of a society with which we don't fit in, escapes me.

Looking for sex -- the whole game which is the male/female dynamic if you will -- has caused me nothing but the deepest, most painful experiences of my life.
Insanity has been defined as doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Well, I'm now 50, and I'm done with the perpetual road to insanity thank-you-very-much.

Porn is a means to get off.
It has also become a very satisfying hobby.
No guilt; no apologies.

[Link]

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this hobby, as BB notably put it. But we have to ask ourselves, like our Swiss coutnerpart, what are the repurcussions of a life spent alone with a greasy remote in one hand and our well-lubed stiffys in the other...? Hey, I personally have no regrets and somehow feel the massive hours spent jerkin the gerkin were actually well spent - pleasure is a good way to pass the time...but still, awareness is a damn good thing too. I'm very okay with being a sex addict - but not okay with being self-delusional. When and where is our hobby unhealthy? Swiss guy wants to know....

P.S. I don't mean to get so heavy...and I DO NOT find myself secretively leering at every short skirt from years of porn consumption - I'm quite sure I'd leer if I hadn't seen so much filth and depravety.

i consider porn to be a "healthy addiction".

as long as it does not interfere with the everday things you have to do to live a regular life, i consider it a healthy addiction, just another form of entertainment.

And RichB and Lazarus are right as well.

My hobby is porn as well and I'm even happly married w/ a good sex life... But I grave for porn, love surf the web for it and masturbate and she doesn't (I suppose) know. I even chat about (msn simverk@hotmail.com) exchange pics and movies w/ other guys while...you know. (Thx for your link w/Tianna Swiss, if you wanna ad me go ahead):).
I have to say it comes and goes, sometimes when I feel down or stressed I "escape" in porn. Or wake up on a saturday morning as now with a hard on leave my wife sleeping and look where my fantasy can be met. And I know that I have to be aware of the full addiction where it would overrule my live or even my marriage. So a healthy addiction is what I call mine as I don't smoke or do drugs. I simply love these beautiful porn girls showing of their addiction to porn...:)

It's important to avoid the pseudoscientific language of the porn addiction industry. The reasoning described above (basically, you can't be bothered with irl interactions and all that comes along with it) seems pretty understandable to me and quite familiar in other contexts (people can't be bothered to see their friends, choosing instead to interact on social media or watch Netflix). If you feel unfulfilled, then grapple with that. No need to call it an addiction.

I'm not an anti-porn crusader. I love Naughty America and Brazzers. Sara Jay is a fucking hot ass MILF who I would give anything to have a romp in the sack with. However, too much porn can be a bad thing and I am proof of that. I was a twenty eight year old with erectile dysfunction. I had no physical issues. It was all mental. Porn induced Erectile Dysfunction is a real thing. Do you have trouble sometimes maintaining an erection when with a person of the opposite sex? Does changing positions sometimes result in the loss of erection if you don't get it back in fast enough? Do you find it difficult to ejaculate while having intercourse, but not porn? If you answer yes to any of these, then there is an issue. It took me a little bit of time, but once I was able to stay away from porn for long periods of time and just be with my partner, I was able to become functional in the bedroom again.

I still have issues with ED from time to time. Sometimes it's not maintaining the erection that's an issue. Sometimes it's being able to orgasm in a timely manner. I'll find myself going for 30 to 40 minutes before I reach ejaculation. That's the desensitization to my brain from too much porn.

So if anyone on here thinks porn addiction isn't real, then try going a week or two without it. Don't even view pornographic pictures or masturbate. Then after the two weeks try masturbating without porn and see if you can get the job done.

Do you try to kill people whenever you get angry at them? If not, then you have control over your medulla oblongata, and you have control over your porn consumption. Whether you choose to exercise that control is another matter.
