How To Break Porn Addiction

By Leah Dry


There is a growing concern today on how to break porn addiction and here's why. As the internet is constantly getting bigger, so is the exposure to pornography and its content. In fact, there are well over 500 millions sites related to pornography and it's big business. However, in this segment, we will take an in-depth look on porn addiction and how you can break this habit once and for all.[]

First and foremost, we will take a look on how porn becomes an addiction. For most, its starts at a very early age. They usually start with very soft or mild pornography material but as they keep watching this it no longer suits their needs. As such, they start to turn to more explicit material. This keeps growing until they can no longer leave this habit.It can leads to committing shameful acts to satisfy their sexual needs such as masturbation, the use of sex toys, prostitutes, one night stands, adult sites and more things of that nature. This can have a very negative effect on a person because it could end in divorce or break up for some and also lead to lower self-esteem, not being able to control his temptations and other mental or health problems.

Addictions in general are a challenge for anyone, but porn addiction comes directly within you, it's triggered from the inside and can be satisfy without any substance that you need to take in your body.If that wasn't enough, it's also an addiction that can be fed very secretly from without anyone living around you or even with you ever finding out, unlike alcohol or drug addictions. And what is more is that while there is no publicity in the open to make you become an alcoholic or a drug addict the publicity to consume porn is all in the open with sites popping up for no reason on your computer, advertisement, magazines and even prostitution, available at any time of day and night.

Take on new hobbies. Some people resort to pornography because they have nothing else better to do. This is why, it is important to keep yourself busy doing things that you love to do, so that you keep your mind off pornographic things.Reward yourself. As you go on the process of stopping porn addiction, you will find it helpful to reward yourself for resisting temptations to backslide. This will reinforce proper behavior and help you get rid of your addiction completely in no time.Catch up with old friends, meet new people. People who are addicted to pornography shut themselves off from the outside world. To counteract this, go out, have fun, meet new people, and catch up with some old friends.Breaking any addiction is a complex process that involves understanding and action and how to break a porn addiction is just the same!While this may seem simplistic lets look and see how important each one is and how they fail without each other.

Action is important; if you procrastinate over doing something then you will never get it done. Most people suffering from addictive behavior lack the drive to take action. A smoker says he will quit on his birthday or new year, a gambler will quit after their next big win and so one but usually they continue to delay. Having the willpower to take action is something that no one can really help you with it has to come from a determination within yourself fueled by a vision of how much better your life will be when you cure yourself.Such immediate actions for porn addiction include unsubscribing to porn sites, deleting all porn from your computer and blocking porn sites out with 3rd party software. These are good steps more for motivation than for effectiveness but reducing temptation is never a bad thing.The problem comes when one takes action without a true understanding of their addiction. Action is a top down approach tackling the symptoms and very obvious aspects of the addiction but it does not remove the root cause of your addiction so the weed may once again grow in a moment of weakness undoing all the good you have done.

What's the point of even trying to break the cycle when you yourself are unable to accept that you have a problem in hand? Acknowledging the problem will always be the first step towards recovery and unless you are able to accept it wholeheartedly chances are, you're not going to get very far.

Armed with this knowledge you can take on these causes and find ways to come to terms with them and eliminate them from your life making you a stronger person and killing the weed at its base.However, some people have an uncanny ability to over think things and investigate and understand but never get around to actually taking action! Nothing amount of soul searching will actually help you quit unless you have the will to take positive actions not only against the top down aspects mentioned but against the root problems which are a lot harder.

It is important that the program you choose provides guided instruction to help you get at the root of any unwanted memories that may have been swept under the rug. A reframing of these pains will help you gain confidence to face life's inevitable trials.

Now one of the main reasons why breaking this type of habit is so hard is because our second most powerful drive as human beings is what fuels it; our drive for reproduction. It is natural for anyone to have these feelings, especially and the ages between 18 to 25 which is at its peak.What separates pornography from all the other addiction is that you are not using any external drugs. In fact, when a person is exposed to any form of sexual activities, the brain releases natural drugs such as dopamine, nor-epinephrine and serotonin. These give the individual a very strong drive for sex and as much as it can have some very positive effects, it can also give some negative ones as well.This is the key element on why it is so hard to break porn addiction. Because these powerful neurochemicals are present at the time of sexual activities, it starts to become an addiction. It can strengthen the bond between two person but can do the same with porn, making it even harder to break.Also, since most people who start using pornography use mild content, it starts to grow unto them as it becomes less satisfying and they eventually resort to more hardcore and violent sexual content. This can lead to a strong attachment to this type of material making it even harder to break porn addiction.

Now there are many negative effects associated to porn addiction. There are things such as desensitization of an individual, loss of confidence, strong appetite for pornographic content, loss of sexual drive towards their partner and strong regrets because it is against their religious beliefs. It can also lead to committing acts such as masturbation, use of prostitutes, one night stands, going out to strips club and can lead ultimately to divorces, break ups and serious psychological problems. That is why it is a serious matter that cannot be taken lightly.Now there are a few places where you can find help to break porn addiction. There are a few guides you can find online for a few dollars which is well worth the investment. These guide will give all the necessary plans to follow as well as the advice and steps to break porn addiction just like most social services would do so. The difference however is that by getting one of these guides instead of actually joining a social or religious club, you can hide your identity and you can stay anonymous without anyone knowing you ever had any form of addiction.
