The Vicious Cycle of Porn Addiction

Just like any addictive agent, Pornography can cause an addiction to develop because of the intense pleasure associated with consuming it.

Why is this?

To understand how your mind got trapped into porn addiction, think of it as an energy based system. It operates, quite naturally, on your thoughts and feelings. Your thoughts and feelings is what gets trapped and requires release in order for healing to occur and for freedom from porn addiction to be regained.

If you think of your early uses of porn, you may notice that quite often you resorted to it in moments of emotional duress. Something didn't go right in your life and porn was there to comfort you. Porn started to look like a solution to the problem. At the same time you thought that when circumstances change, you will stop using porn. Wrong.

Because the original and recurring emotional duress was not resolved, it remained stored in the unconscious part of your mind, which has a nasty property of reacting to stimuli in the environment for which it has a record.

If you review your porn related history carefully, you will see that over time, smaller doses of upset required greater doses of porn to cover the pain.

This is because increasing amounts of stored emotional anguish caused greater painful reactions to occur when life presented you with difficulties. Smaller things seemed to cause greater upsets, and increased the need for porn.

Thus goes the vicious cycle of porn. And eventually you started to run to porn when just about anything went wrong in your life, big or small. Basically, you lost it.

This may seem to be a harsh assessment, but it is accurate and is nothing compared to the amount of pain your porn addiction is causing you.

You continue to run to it for comfort, you are afraid to talk about it, you are ashamed of yourself, you fear that you will be discovered and punished by those around you, at home and at work. You are in hiding.

And if you do not take measures to resolve the emotional causes of your porn addiction, this is how you are going to spend the rest of your life. Isolated, frightened and in pain.

If you do not believe this will happen to you, know that there are confessions on record of men in their seventies who are still in the grip of their porn addiction. They are scared and they are alone.

It took them a long time to realize that they need help. You do not have to wait until you are an old man to begin regaining your freedom from porn addiction.
