Porn addiction is the continued use of porn to deal with uncomfortable feelings and moods in spite of the continued consequences. You know you should stop. You tell yourself to stop, but you keep looking anyway. The behavior, besides the immediate sexual gratification and the quick escape, leaves the person feeling guilty and shameful, and compounds itself with consequences and unmanageability in the person’s life. Often, the person engaging in the compulsive pornography addiction gains little satisfaction in the long run from the behavior. They often feel lonely, depressed and out of control, which in turn leads them back to the compulsive porn use in an attempt to feel better and escape the pain. if think you may have a problem with pornography addiction contact Luisa to get helped.
