Porn Addiction – Am I Addicted?

Consuming porn is something many people do from time to time.

It is everywhere, it leads to masturbation that releases tension which is gathered in our bodies, and gives a sensation of relief after it is over. To some people, consuming pornography becomes an addiction.

Similar to gambling or smoking, same symptoms apply to porn addiction. Tiredness, exhaustion, lack of ability to control the urge, and ultimately – feeling like a prisoner in your own body.

Well over 20 million people live their lives suffering from porn and sex addiction in the United States alone; many of them are only teenagers under the age of 18.

So are there any symptoms to look out for? Is it possible that I am addicted myself? Let’s give you 3 important tips that represent the symptoms in order to find out:

1. Controlling the urge is not an option: In how many cases in your life, did you ever have plans for 15 more minutes and you felt like you have to consume porn and masturbate? That is one.

2. Do you consume porn more than once a week? If you do, there is a good chance that addiction applies here. Since consuming pornography more than once, maybe twice a week is usually a waste of time, addiction can be the cause here.

3. Do you feel like you need to consume porn before you do something important? That is a very tricky one that very few people notice; if you have something important to do, and you plan to do it soon, such as doing some work for school, or preparing your taxes for the IRS, and you feel an urge to consume porn before you do it, then almost certainly – You may have an addiction issue.
