porn addiction

[johnmice]

I was wondering about this phenomenon. What are the criteria for porn addiction?
How widespread is it in our society?
Sometimes I hunt for pictures for hours and finally cum... I still have a social and educational life, but when I am gettting into it (online picture/ video search) I often loose control, I can't get away from it, just for routines (dinner or so).
For the future, I will try to be more disciplined, for example, using a time limit of 8 minutes within to cum and using a picture collection, no time-consuming pic/vid-search.
What are your experiences/ thoughts on this topic?

Where did you get 8 minutes from? Why not 10 minutes or 6 minutes 30 seconds?

(banging your cock in a door while reciting the Catechism should work as a coping strategy)

yeah, 10 minutes would be fine aswell , but hours? I don't like the thought of losing control, maybe I am a control freak. hey > idea: could set an alarm clock after 10 minutes

There's a pretty foolproof indicator to addiction - is it preventing you from doing anything else in your life that you would normally do - i.e. have You Missed a work deadline, have you repeatedly fucked (or are you starting to fuck) up school work as a result of spending your time porning, have you bailed on a date to jerk off at home, do you constantly think about porn in your daily life, do you prefer pron to boning real babes etc etc?

If so, time to wind back the cracking off

Otherwise, just enjoy. There's no right or wrong way to jerk, no right or wrong amount of time to spend jerking (unless - see above).

Its not an addiction unless you believe it is. If it is, it's a harmless addiction as long as you fulfill other daily life obligations.

I second those indications. I believe anything in moderation. As soon as it starts consuming your life and you start ignoring obligations, it's time to seek help. This goes for anything. Porn, computer gaming, gambling, drinking, even hobbies can become addictions.

What are the criteria for porn addiction?

As for every addiction, you're addict if you can't enjoy life without it.

 

[rayman53x]

just enjoy it buddy! you only live once lol

 

[Ulysses31]

sorry, usually I speak German

That explains everything

Addiction comes in many forms... Often times it has little to do with self control-- but rather an underlying psychological issue that leads to your particular vice/compulsion. Almost anything that brings us pleasure can become distracting... I love porn, I love porn so much-- I make porn. With that being said, I think that there ought to be a healthy relationship between a regular sex life (even if it's only with yourself!) and the porno consumption. When guys/gals tend to obsess over the virtual stuff-- It may indicate imbalance...I think one of the best remedies is to give it a break and go live out some fantasies in real life (consenting & safe ones of course lol)... Then come back to the porno again later!!!
Hope that helps...
