By Janine Hughes


It is a very familiar line, except that we do not always take it seriously. The definition is any form of behavior done repeatedly regardless of self harm or harm to others. Immediately addiction develops, it is almost impossible to stop it unless with outside help. If it is pornography, only porn addiction therapy Palm Springs CA can help.

Porn addiction is defined as the urge to continue using pornographic materials, even after you promise yourself not to. If you lose the willpower to cease viewing when you want to, then you are certainly addicted. People turn to materials like videos, photos and magazines, but that was in the past. Today, the presence of the internet has completely revolutionized the industry.

In the past, access to pornography was in videos, magazine and photos. However, the advent of the Internet worsens the urge for the victims. It comes with a wide variety of options, anonymity, availability and affordability at all levels of explicitness. The fact that people can store unlimited materials in their phones to view anytime aggravates an already worse problem. To sum it up all, no one will know as there is no physical evidence left behind.

This addiction, according to social scientists, leads to changes in chemical composition of neurotransmitters in the brain responsible for neurotransmission. This variation in the composition of neurochemicals is what continuously feeds the urges. This translates to both physical and psychological pain for the victim. Since pornography addiction has its roots in the brain, only psychotherapy with a professional can help.

The physical pain is as a result of what they have to do regularly to satisfy their urges. It is almost like the pain that you feel which, unless you satisfy it, does not go away. People are turned into slaves of sex, masturbation and pornographic materials. Slavery is all about mind control and that is where the psychological pain comes in. The psychological or emotional aspect is the depression, obsessive-compulsive behavior and anxiety brought about by the vice.

As it is with other addicts of alcohol, gambling, etc. Victims of the vice are only trying to run away from feelings of low self esteem, issues and emotions they are trying to avoid. An addicted individual has their everyday life impaired and sexual relations with their partner, limited. The result is dysfunctional relationships and/or divorce. The urge to engage in the vice all the time also leads to loss of employment. Moreover, drugs may be used to heighten sexual experience aggravating the situation.

Victims disregard the need for help, while others are not aware that they require it. Individuals addicted to this vice live under a false impression that they are not capable of hurting others as they only engage in the sexual behavior by themselves. However, this is not true because it only takes dysfunctional relationships to hurt others and yourself too.

When they seek help, most of the times its for the associated symptoms like depression and not for the core problem. Therapy remains ineffective if the core problem is not identified. Psychotherapy with a professional is the only remedy.
