What Is a Porn Addiction?

grip said:
Porn has a tendency to desensitize the watcher just as even too much sex does. The purveyor has to keep becoming more deviant to reach prior levels of arousal. The imagination or the real act is generally more healthy overall and less addictive.

I was just watching a compilation called Cum Eating Cuckolds in which scene after scene showed servile men playing the role of their woman's cuckold bitch & either cleaning her bull's semen off her body or vulva with his tongue or accepting it from her mouth. After a while I lost interest. The most perverse videos are under the heading of Premium Bukakke in which women accept the ejaculate of dozens of masturbating men, holding it as a growing pool of white liquid in their mouths before swallowing it all. A woman behind the recipient holds her head & scoops any extra semen into the recipient's mouth. After a short time I lost interest also.

You mean I'll eventually bore of watching unshaven lesbians having anal sex while submerged, upside down in a vat of milk?

No way.

Like any physical addiction, the same reward centers in the brain require more and more stimulation due to a build-up of tolerance. What was once just a pleasurable nasty has to increasingly become unconscionably filthy to achieve the former levels of arousal. Sex is more than just bumping uglies, it's about intimacy, foreplay, touch, emotions, caring, tenderness, anticipation, titillation, etc. When it's reduced to merely instant self-gratification, it loses much of its overall impact and satisfaction.

Are you still on vats of milk? I have moved on to hot tubs of French Vanilla coffee. Bloody prudes.

This is indeed true for those with behavioral addictions. But with the logic you presented, then football fans would need more and more football in order to achieve the pleasure they previous got from watching only Monday Night Football.

I would say that sex in and of itself is exactly about bumping ulgies. The other stuff belongs to love making with may or may not include PIV sex, or whatever if you are a same sex couple.

Not everyone is a sex addict, and there is only so much football to watch. Though, I've seen people obsessed with sports.

I don't believe there's suppose to be a big distinction between sex and love-making. When there is this can become a problem.

There is a difference between obsession and addiction. That said behavioral addictions are real, and football could be such a thing.

Such is your opinion. There are days when I have sex with my wives, and days where I make love with them.

Traveling on business while single gave me a number of opportunities to scratch my testosterone itch.

I was staying at a hotel in Durham, NC. In the bar sat the late sportscaster Howard Cosell who was in town to cover a Duke basketball game. He had lived in the same town in NY as I did while in HS & had gone to school on the same bus as his daughter Jill. I went over & introduced myself & told him about knowing Jill & he was very pleased, telling me that she had given him grand kids. Back at my table, a beautiful woman came over & said to me 'What's your room number?' Back in my room, an hour later & she's knocking on my room door. She had been a Broadway dancer & former mistress to a famous choreographer. We had our moment & she spent the night with m, so we got to pay again in the morning. I called her later in the day & suggested that we spend the weekend together at her place, which she agreed to. It was a memorable experience.

Not sure why your telling me this.

That would qualify as a "Liberal Interpretation" and probably an easily supported protection under law. ;)

What would we do without our little screens?

Giving us the technology we are blessed to enjoy is like handing a loaded gun to toddler.

I agree with smoking it's for more psychological than chemical dependence. But that chemical dependence is there. About a week you're over the chemical dependence though.

Very true. However, the physical symptoms of "needing" a cigarette persist far longer than could be connected to those that are chemically induced.

In my own experience, the physical need to smoke a cigarette persisted for about 6 months and was quite pronounced in times of stress even after that.

I FEEL like it was a couple years before I was able to re-write, so to speak, my programming.

Now, 18 years after my last cigarette, I feel like I'm a non-smoker. However, I also feel like I could "fall off the wagon".

Before I quit successfully, I had quit unsuccessfully numerous times. "Quitting? No problem! I've done it hundreds of times!"

I can see there being times when the sex isn't as ardent.

I would consider the strong desire that persists psychological. After a meal you have a cigarette after a stressful day at work. The only way I was able to quit was to break that.

I read something about the ritualization of actions leading to the addictive behavior. Buying the right brand, expensive lighter, blowing smoke rings, reward, escape- whatever. Get away from the steps and you get away from the addiction.

It was read years AFTER I had actually quit, but it seemed to make sense. The article instructed to notice what the ritual steps were leading to the behavior and, as you say, BREAK that progression of steps.

The article suggested creating a "Fire Drill" to interrupt the progression. In my successful attempt to quit, I actually used this, but it was not well defined or planned or called a fire drill.

But, whether it was a good approach or not, it worked for me. Nothing succeeds like success. (y)
 
Not to get off subject but does anyone know how to clean dried semen off the computer screen and keyboard?
 
All addictions, on top of being physically dependent to one degree or another, also rewire the brain's pleasure response. Even after you've consciously decided the act is no longer a reward, you still feel the compulsion until you've abstained long enough to change the mind's response and focus.
 
I always wonder if all that free porn out there isn't just a way for Russians to hack into my phone.

What, just plain milk, no chocolate?
 
Is it merely the basic, 'almost anything is bad for you in excess?'
