Watching porn usually starts in adolescence and allows a person to fulfill their sexual needs on their own. Although watching porn and masturbating may seem insignificant at first, this repetition every day and harming the existing relationship can lead to very bad results. Sexologists warn that porn addiction removes the person from the real world.
Many people in these cases deny that they are addicted to porn. However, they need support from experts. A person seeking advice in the Dear Abby column in the New York Post newspaper stated that her boyfriend is a porn addict and asked what he should do about it.
“HE REJECTS THAT HE IS ADDICTIVE”
The woman said, “I’ve been with my boyfriend for four years. He’s become addicted to porn over the years. He refuses to admit that he’s addicted and insists that it’s completely normal. I’m not usually one to judge, but it got to the point where it affected our sex life. “I can’t remember when we had a moment that didn’t start with spending the day watching porn.”
“I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN CHEATED”
“As ridiculous as it sounds, I feel cheated. So I struggle with my body image. I feel like I’ll never be enough for him to focus on our sex life. How can I compete with porn?”
THE PROBLEM IS NOT ABOUT YOU
Abby says, “Tell your boyfriend that his confidence in porn is hurting your self-esteem so you don’t want to be in a relationship with him anymore. If he’s in love with you and is willing to work on the problem, there are resources he can use. If he’s not willing to fix it, admit it has nothing to do with your attractiveness level and move on. ” she said.
TOO MUCH PORN CAN CREATE SEXUAL Dysfunction
According to sexologists, porn addiction creates sexual dysfunction. She noted that men who spend most of their sex lives seeking out, watching, and enjoying endless and ever-changing, intensely arousing sexual images – experience a fresh jolt of adrenaline and dopamine with each new image, and over time they find the excitement created by their real-life partners insufficient.
