Addiction To Pornography

Marc Kern (Addiction Expert, Director of Addiction Alternatives) gives expert video advice on: What are the dangers of pornography addiction? and more...

What is "pornography addiction"?

Pornography addiciton is just a variant as I would see it, as sexual addiction it's primarly not with a human being. It's with pictures and images and of course the internet plays a big role in the availability of it and it often involves a great expense. I've worked with people who've spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on images. Pornorgraphy of all shapes and sizes. Now there's also subsets of pornography addiction such as, you know... graphic images of children versus graphic images of adults and that is a whole together different sort of domain but there are similarities. But people with pornography addiction do not necessarily do well with a real person. They do well with and objective piece of paper that they can visualize, fantasize about but, they don't have to negotiate all the feelings and thoughts and talk that you might have to do with a real human being.

What are the dangers of pornography addiction?

In the harm reduction model, it is not inappropriate for a pornography addict to look at pornography and spend money on pornography. And the goal would be to spend less and to be involved less. But if someone doesn't really have the skills to interact with another human being, it's, generally speaking, a safe substitute. These people are often lonely, have poor self esteem, can't seem to have the courage to maybe ask a girl to dance or whatever the dynamic is, and this is generally a safe involvement. Now again, it too can get expensive, and spend too much time with that preoccupation, but it's a matter of degree. I don't believe that it needs to be that they don't ever look at another "Playboy" or "Hustler" magazine again.

    People who are addicted to porn(men or females) usually they are in denial and resent the person who tells them they do have a problem with it. Under this manifestation are lots of causes like sexual abuse, molestation or emotional issues. The sad part is that a guy or a woman that seeks sex with different partners or uses compulsive masturbation or substitute normal sex with pornography they have serious problems in having and keeping a relationship.Not to mention that they are not able to be intimate.......This addiction is nothing less than a drug or alcohol addiction. Unfortunately this addiction doesn't get too much attention these days.

    haha! Well, I do not feel that this video answered any questions... Addiction means that it interferes with your everyday life to such an extent that it may cripple you - emotionally, physically, or spiritually! Pornography addiction... One who places pornography as a top priority! That's the answer... So, essentially the only people who worry THAT much about porn are high schoolers and sociopaths... And I think the sociopathic tendencies should be addressed first!
