Am I growing out of my porn addiction?

Question

Since I was 13 (I am 19 now) I would always log on to the internet to view porn. I spent the last two years purchasing porn and signing up to porn websites. It is a habit that I did a minimum of three times a week. Sometimes I viewed porn everyday of the week, but yesterday (Thursday, August 24, 2006) I began to noticed that I havent viewed porn in more than 3 weeks. Am I growing out of my porn addiction.

Answer 1

Nah, you are just growing up. Welcome to being an adult. Only people whose minds never overcome puberty's fascination with sex continually view porn as titilating.

How to avoid porn addiction on the Internet

1. Consider installing porn content filtering software( Strongly Recommend NetDog ,you can get it from www.netdogsoft.com ) on your computer. it will help to protect you from stumbling into pornography by accident, That's important.

2. Do not try to guess what the address of a Web page is. Many pornographic sites have similar addresses of respectable sites. For example www . whitehouse . com is a porn site. The real address is www. whitehouse . gov

3. Never click on Web site addresses that you receive in an unsolicited email.

4. Do not open attachments that come in email that are unsolicited.

5. Use filtered search engines or reputable directories to find the information you need.

6. Do not search for terms like girls. Think before you enter a search term.


Stick with reputable sites.
If something looks questionable, don't let curiosity get the best of you. Delete it or close the window.

I'm not sure what a porn addiction is - so, I can't comment on that.

As a teenager going to church, I was told that porn and masturbation were wrong. So, you try to stop - I think I went 7 days as a teenager without pulling the chain ... worst seven days of my life - anyways, everybody and every body is a bit different. If you find you don't have to view the online porn - good, some more money in your pockets.

I don't like that you categorize as a porn-addict. We are designed such that our sexuality is a part of ourselves that we can't ignore. Don't beat yourself up for having sexual feelings.

Answer 5

While I myself don't watch porn, I will say, don't think you're free of the addiction yet. It could just be a temporary phase, and if you've done this for over six years, then it will be difficult to stop.

At the same time, use this to your advantage. Try to continue the streak, but when you feel the urge to view porn, just tell yourself (and force yourself) to realize that this could be the end of a bad habit.

Answer 6

What's wrong with porn anyhow? Yes, I agree it gets repetitive. And, I agree that video of huge tools that never actually get hard is just plain wrong.(What a waste!) And, the girls are not the type that is available to most guys. Still, there is a certain attraction and since watching isn't really a sin unless the girl is married and you "lust" for her, then what is the problem?

Answer 7

I left my porn addiction, but now i have a new addiction! Yahoo answers lol

Answer 8

You might be. I had a similar experience. Movies and Magazines, as well as the internet, stopped doing it for me. Although, my new addiction, strip clubs, does me just fine.

Answer 9

I think calling it an addiction is just a poor excuse for watching it. But getting bored with it, sure.

Answer 10

It is just an addiction vacation. Soon you will get married and the sex will stop and you will renew all of your subscriptions again.

God bless you and I hope you can stay away from it.
