Eric: I’m a porn addict and only really recognized this myself a while ago.
Steve95: Pornography has always been with us. What makes you think you’re addicted?
Eric: I can’t stop thinking about it, I search for it and my tolerance is getting higher. I watch porn and masturbate at least once a day.
Steve95: It’s hard to say why viewing porn can escalate into an out-of-control behavior. If you try to stop, you may find that you simply can’t do it. That’s how behavioral addictions sneak up on people.
Eric: What treatment options are available?
Steve95: I think viewing porn once in a while – or even habitually – doesn’t mean you have a problem.
