Porn addiction is a subset of sex addiction but sometimes has very different roots to other forms of sex addiction \u2013 especially for younger people who have grown up with easy access to Internet porn.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There is a growing body of research demonstrating the powerful affect of high-speed porn on the brain. Internet pornography is what\u2019s known as a supernormal stimuli \u2013 in other words, rather than providing the brain with the usual reward that visual sexual stimulation can provide, the endless variety and novelty that can be instantaneously enjoyed is a \u2018supernormal stimuli\u2019. This stimuli has been called the \u2018crack cocaine\u2019 of sex addiction because it can be so powerfully addictive. This means that unlike other forms of sex addiction, which may have roots in childhood trauma, you can become hooked on porn simply because of its easy availability and lack of educational resources about the potential risks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Many people are not aware they\u2019re hooked on porn until it escalates to the point of affecting other areas of life such as relationships, friendships or work. Or until they notice that they can no longer get an erection without using pornography and sex with a partner no longer holds any appeal. For some the escalation has gone into cybersex, hook ups and visiting sex workers which may be crossing personal boundaries and breaching fidelity contracts with a partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The treatment program for recovering from porn is the same as sex addiction but with additional emphasis on relapse prevention strategies and building a chosen sexual lifestyle. Greater emphasis is also placed on practical strategies to overcome associated sexual dysfunctions such as PIED (Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction).<\/p>

Pornography is widely accessed and used as a means of dealing with one\u2019s sexual drive. Meanwhile, partners may consider the viewing of online porn as pathological and believe that time spent watching porn can be seen as \u201cporn addiction.\u201d It is important to note that neither porn addiction nor sex addiction are considered as disorders by the\u00a0American Psychiatric Association\u2019s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders\u00a0(DSM-5). However, compulsive use of pornography is recognized as a disorder by the World Health Organization\u2019s\u00a0International Classification of Diseases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
