Porn addiction is a very serious problem that can wreak havoc on your life and relationships. While some people view pornography with no problems at all, others struggle with their pornography use becoming out of control. This can begin to seriously infringe upon your quality of life and relationships. If this is true for you, know that you’re not alone.
When the use becomes compulsive, you might be struggling with a form of sex addiction. This can come in a variety of ways and can range from mild to severe. Therefore, assessment is important to help determine if this is a problem.

Recognizing a Compulsive Porn Problem
Porn addiction is mainly defined by the negative aspects that come with engaging in internet and other forms of porn. An addiction is identified when the individual notices a negative impact on their life as a direct result of engaging with porn. These include:
Difficulty Feeling Satisfied with Partner: When with your partner, you may find that you do not feel satisfied. You may also notice a loss of connection, making porn the only thing that makes you feel satisfied or “turned on.”
Inability to Concentrate on Daily Activities: If you cannot concentrate on normal daily activities because you’re too focused on watching porn, this could be a sign of porn addiction.
Inappropriate Behavior at Work or Public Places: Some individuals engage in inappropriate behavior at work or in public, indicating a porn addiction. You might put yourself in risky situations by watching pornography in places where it could get you into serious trouble.
Skipping Necessary Duties, Routines, or Activities: If you’re skipping work, neglecting family members, forgetting important tasks, or spending large amounts of money on pornographic materials, this may indicate a porn addiction. The more your urges disrupt daily life, the more likely it’s becoming a serious problem.
Inappropriate Pornography Use: Some may become bored with the pornography they watch and stumble into extreme or inappropriate content, such as underage pornography.

Like any other addiction, porn addiction poses a serious threat to happiness, relationships, work, and social lives. Often, it’s a shameful addiction to admit, and many addicts do not seek help until they face depression or significant relationship problems. Sometimes, the issue of porn doesn’t arise in counseling, as addicts may not admit it, and counselors not specialized in porn addiction treatment might not ask.
Understanding Porn Addiction
Porn addiction occurs when someone compulsively engages with pornographic material, including internet porn, compulsive chatting, and out-of-control browsing of sexual sites. It becomes a full-blown addiction when the person continues to engage in damaging behavior despite negative consequences.
As the addiction deepens, the addict’s life becomes increasingly negatively impacted. Men, especially, may find that real sex with a consenting partner becomes unsatisfying, leading to broken relationships. This can leave the addict disconnected from others as the addiction takes priority.
Symptoms of Porn Addiction
Porn addiction is a significant issue and can worsen if untreated.
Additional symptoms include:
- Sexual avoidance and preferring pornography over real relationship intimacy
- Being unable to stop viewing porn, even when wanting to
- Losing interest in relationships
- Feeling turned off by in-person sex
- Watching porn for hours at a time
