I'm sure that if you stopped spending all of your free time watching a bunch of girls that you will never have/get and use that time to get a girl that you will, you wouldn't even have the time to watch porn and you will cure yourself of the addiction. Go live a real life instead of someone else's.

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.

The simple answer for any addiction is that you will have to want to stop.
The process to get to this point is not that simple, but you will really have to want to stop the behavior.
Sex addiction is very real. It takes varioius forms, but is no less real than addictions to food, drugs, alcohol or others. Like other addictions, it may manifest itself in milder forms or more destructive forms. Even yours may eventually lead to harmful, anti-social behaviours. The path from porn mags, to porn films, to prostitution to violent forms of sexual gratification is not that far.
Of course you should tell your psychiatrist. NOT telling him is like not telling your doctor about a symptom. These pros can't help you if you don't tell them what's going on. It's not like a mechanic, who can hop in the car, start it up and take it out for a spin to diagnose a problem.
If there is a "pill" or something, the psychiatrist can determine if it is the proper course of action. Or, it may be as easy as talking your way through it.

Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a catch-all term for a postulated form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other compulsive sexual behaviors including, but not limited to, viewing pornography, compulsive masturbation, serial cheating, cyber- and phone sex. It is also sometimes called love addiction, although that term has its own specialized distinctions. It has been defined by one addiction therapist as "any sexually-related, compulsive behavior which interferes with normal living and causes severe stress on family, friends, loved ones and one's work environment."[1]
Sexual addiction, like all addictions, has diverse explanations for how it might occur. But with sexual addicts a likely catalyst is that they experienced some sort of sexual abuse or trauma, presexualization, neglect or another form of abuse during childhood.
Diagnosis
There is no consensus in the medical community that sexual addiction actually exists, and it is not presently included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (D.S.M.). Those who support its diagnosis describe it as being in many ways similar to other addictions, where the activity comes to be used as a way to manage mood or stress and may become more severe with time. Diagnostic criteria have been suggested that are closely analogous to those the D.S.M. provides for other addictions.
Patrick Carnes, a pioneer researcher in the field of sexual addiction, asserts there are ten specific criteria of addiction:[1]
Recurrent failure (pattern) to resist impulses to engage in specific sexual behavior.
Frequent engaging in those behaviors to a greater extent or over a longer period of time than intended.
Persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to stop, reduce, or control those behaviors.
Inordinate amount of time spent in obtaining sex, being sexual, or recovering from sexual experience.
Preoccupation with the behavior or preparatory activities.
Frequent engaging in the behavior when expected to fulfill occupational, academic, domestic, or social obligations.
Continuation of the behavior despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent social, financial, psychological, or physical problem that is caused or exacerbated by the behavior.
Need to increase the intensity, frequency, number, or risk of behaviors to achieve the desired effect, or diminished effect with continued behaviors at the same level of intensity, frequency, number, or risk.
Giving up or limiting social, occupational, or recreational activities because of the behavior.
Distress, anxiety, restlessness, or irritability if unable to engage in the behavior

divert your spare attention to other hobbies, or activity; if on site-trash it and don't go there-stay busy with real life
