A porn habit is one that is hard to kick and the most difficult aspect of this addiction is that often the one who is addicted to pornography will see no harm in their keen interest in pornography.
A porn habit might begin with the casual viewing of images thrown onto the computer screen as the result of innocent Internet browsing. The use of key phrases targeted by pornographic websites will result in ‘pop-ups’ arriving on the screen with a series of lurid images designed to entice the person browsing to investigate further.
As the person burrows deeper into websites that offer even more deviant images, the sexual xxx content becomes more intense and more difficult to turn away from. Hours go by and eventually the victim shuts down the computer, feeling slightly ashamed but none the less excited and probably aroused as a result of viewing the kind of performances on offer in most red light areas.
The next time the browser logs in, his (or her) porn addiction stares him in the face in the form of a menu of images last browsed. The victim realises this might shock anyone else who might discover where his intersts lie and so he becomes secretive and begins to exhibit the porn addiction symptoms typical of someone who is irresistibly drawn to pornographic images. He is hooked and will continue to surf the internet for adult pages which offer pornographic content, images and video.
Pornographic addiction is also closely associated with masturbation addiction, which can lead to an impaired sexual relationship with a long term partner. Internet porn addiction leads to lengthy sessions at the computer and precludes normal social behavior: a pornography addiction is decidedly unsociable and requires isolation and solitude and among young adults, teens and children, it has startling bad effects on their perceptions of sexual norms.
For victims of pornographic addiction who are not in a long term and stable relationship, the porn addiction symptoms might be more severe. The porn addict is to some extent reliant on the sexual gratification supplied by the images he browses. The condition prompts more introverted and more intense hibernative activity.
An efficient Internet porn filter will reduce the risks of pornography addiction and restore control for those already in the grip of internet porn addiction. Efficient porn filters are available as part of a Internet monitor software programs and can easily regulate the internet environment for the whole family.
