If you look at porn daily, you have a problem.
If you download porn, you have a problem.
If you have multiple sites favorite placed, you have a problem.
Porn seems good cause you can see what you don't always get. But in the long run porn is bad. It sets new standards in your head on what a woman should look like, act like, be like. Then when you are in reality it isn't like that and you seem lost and lonely as no woman meets your needs.
So you go back to porn to get what you seek. This is the addiction, its like coke, its a vicious circle that gets tighter and tighter and tighter till you end up on 60 minutes as a child molester that got caught trying to meet up with a 14 yr old for sex.
Just turn it off, delete it all and when you get the urge to look at it, just get up and walk away from the computer. To look here and there isn't bad but to make it a daily item or part of your routine is bad.
My 19 yr old brother is a porn freak and he hasn't dated any woman in at least 2 years and has no desire too. He just wants to look at porn. Personally.....I'd rather touch a living human being and get pleasure than to stare at a computer screen alone.

If it is keeping you from having relationships (general and sexual) with people in the real world it may be a problem. Looking at "porn" if you don't have a partner and gratifying yourself wouldn't be considered out of the norm nor would it be as a supplement of fantasy. If you are using it in place of your partner, then it might be a problem. An addiction is compulsive behavior that you cannot control or have difficulty in controlling. If you see someone to whom you are attracted and have to immediately find a place to masturbate or while you are away from home you are faced with constant over-riding need to get home to watch/view porn to make you feel normal or better, if not, it most likely is not an addiction.
If you don't suffer the above, have friction burns or bleeding, then don’t worry about it.

When it is all you think about and is all that interest you, Some people have no self control and may need help from a professional. Viewing porn releases chemicals into the brain this why it can become addictive, if you can't go long periods of time with out you probably have a problem to the severity of the degree of the problem is your call.

you'll know if your addicted, its the same as with tobacco. you start desiring it. when you cant live with out it. It is extremely difficult to quit, even more so then cocaine, or any other hard drug. Because with porn, the images stay in your head. you can go years without looking at porn, yet the images remain. with me, i fear the effect porn will have on my future family. i struggle with this crap everyday! it seems the more i talk to God... the more the devil tries to turn me back to it. The devil usually wins. that makes me weak, i cannot beat this on my own. go to a pastor, a friend, anybody trustworthy and ask for help. i cannot say this enough, it is extremely hard to quit! and if anybody says "why don't you JUST quit!" then that person is a fool! And does not know what power porn can have over someone!

watch the movie "8 MM" that got me off internet porn for a long time!
Nicolas Cage says this, "You dance with the devil and the devil doesn't change....you do" or something to that affect. The point is he's trying to solve some crimes and he's being exposed to these sick snuff films - by which he is changed and looks at life differently.
Now there is a big difference between internet porn and snuff films - but it's not as big as say a Disney Movie and Porn, you know what I mean?

Most people go thru a "porn stage", just like many of us go thru a drinking stage, or a pot stage, etc. Normally it just kinda burns out.
You might be "addicted" (and I hate that term!) if you are seeing it destroy your life -- ie, killing your relationships, losing jobs, etc.
Obviously, like any additions, a sudden stopping of the activity is called for, along w/ counseling to address the "pressure" that caused the activity (if any). If you don't do the counseling, you stand a chance of substituting another bad behavior in its place.

If it's interfering with your life/work/etc., or if it's making you not get other things done, it's too much. If you'd rather do that than hang out with friends, for instance. Or if you need it to get excited.
As for weaning yourself off, just do it. Set limits and stick to them. If it doesn't work, you might need counseling.
