Romance V Porn

Most people think porn addiction is about sex. Personally, I see it much more like taking heroin than having sex. What you get from porn is temporary relief from the discomfort of wanting to engage in a compulsive behaviour.

Last Saturday was Valentine's Day, and my time with my partner was completely different to the times in the past when I'd binge watch porn. It is a completely different experience. However, the addicted part of the mind (APOTM) likes to convolute and confuse people. Unfortunately, a lot of internet information treats porn addiction as a problem related to sex, when really the problem people have is an inability to deal with compulsive desires (because they haven't been taught how).

Sexual problems, like erectile dysfunction, are a common symptom of being in a porn addiction, but solving the symptoms does not equate to solving the cause of the problem.

If you would like to learn more about dealing with the APOTM directly, book in a 1-1 discovery call with myself to talk through how BCA works further.
