What can I do to get rid of this addiction. Every time I vow to quit I always get the urge after a few days...Sometimes I want to beat myself for doing something stupid like this, but I realize it's a problem. What are some ways you would tackle this issue? I feel terrible, but that's probably because I'm not in a relationship.
PS: Yes, I do masterbate when I look at porn.

You should see a psychiatrist or a counselor. Porn addiction is a very serious problem that can have some very nasty effects on your sexual relationships. Many people who are addicted to porn either (a) must watch porn while having sex in order to perform, or (b) cannot perform at all with a real live partner. That's no place you want to go, my friend. Get help.

How to avoid porn addiction on the Internet
1. Consider installing porn content filtering software( Strongly Recommend NetDog Porn Filter,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.

You don't mention the details of your addiction. How many hours a day do you dedicate to porn? If it is not impacting your lifestyle, perhaps you don't have an addiction. If it keeps you from getting to work on time or hang time with family and friends, that's a different story.
Maybe you just enjoy porn, and really, there's nothing wrong with that.

Honey, don't beat yourself up for it.....a lot of sex addicts feel remorse or guilty after either being addicted to porn &/or having a series of one nighters. But the good news is you CAN and WILL get over this provided that you willing to take the steps needed to heal from this addiction. There's underlying issues that you have that don't even have anything to do w/porn.
You have plenty of options to treat yourself and getting help; professional counseling, maybe sex addicts anonymous meetings, message boards w/folks experiencing the same problem, something spiritual that suits your belief system to feed your soul, socializing more/learning to bond with other's authentically & in a healthy way.
I don't know your background....like if you experienced something traumatic as a child in a sexual way. I read that many have past issues as such that can effect them in this way in their adult life, and that this is a way to fill the void of true intimacy by just going straight to sex. But your only hurting yourself, because it's just merely fantasy. Real intimacy is much more fulfilling because there is real love. And you can and will find real love once you get help needed to help yourself and learn to trust again.
You took the 1st step today by posting--this is GREAT!! Just learn to trust again.......this can be a real addiction, but like many addictions you'll go thru stages. First kind of a withdrawal (like a drug), then perhaps a little depression, then boredom, then finally you'll move on to finding new healthy ways to fulfill your real needs.
YOu can learn to cope w/stress in a supportive healthy way for yourself.
Sexuality is obviously important, but do everything above that I mentioned, and learn the art of balancing everything in your life, then you will be fine.
Sex is something to be respected and it is sacred, porn just twists everything around.
It's like someone who enjoys a nice sweet once in awhile, but some people take one bite and end up eating the whole cake, become a glutton, overweight and unhealthy & addicted to sugar.They use it as an emotional escape, "food is my friend because it makes me feel good."
Too little or too much of anything in life isn't good. Everything needs balancing.
hope this helps!!

My boyfriend isn't a intercourse addict, yet we don't have intercourse as in many cases as he needs, so he masterbates. i don't comprehend the assumption of why some human beings might stop staring at porn whilst they are in a relationship. it could get uninteresting. staring at isn't any massive deal. first of all, in case you do not experience like there is any connection between you adult adult males once you're having intercourse then there's a challenge. you will possibly desire to not experience such as you're in a porn...it incredibly is an exceedingly chilly way of describing it...which makes me think of you're actually not happy with him. i might do it after a date or something, that makes him relish you. do only not do it for awhile and notice what occurs.

try to rid your home of all of your porn collection. find a nice person to have a relationship with and make sure they like to have lots of sex. that should help to start out with. then just keep fighting the urge but don't forget that it's normal to look at porn once in a wile

It depends on how you watch it... Do you watch it over the internet?...If yes, then try getting those websites blocked from being able to enter them again. Destroy any videos you may have bought and rip up any magazines. This is one of these problems that you CAN solve, but only if you have the determination to look yourself in the mirror and honestly promise yourself that you're not going to watch any of that stuff again. Believe that you can do it and you will. I wish you all the best! :)

I don't see what's the big deal as long as your watching adult porn,I don't see what the problem is.Watch your porn masterbate and enjoy it,As long as you can go to work and do your normal activities and you just get excited about going home to watch porn and play with your self I don't see a problem.

I have had someone very close to me have this problem
Sexaholics Anonymous was very helpful.
He also sought out a church pastor. Either do that or see a counselor. The first step is knowing you have a problem, so you are on your way. Don't stop their.
