Pornography and Sexual Addiction

I look at pornography as an addiction. You keep on craving something that is harder and harder..... until you reach a point where pornography goes so far. You reach that jumping- off point where you begin to wonder if actually doing it will give you that which is beyond just reading about it or looking at it.

Pornography is the gateway drug of most sexual addiction. Like any other addiction sex addiction is progressive. There is a built- in dynamic that always drives the addict to the next level and the next.

Sex is the void of intimacy (such as pornography and casual sex) works as addictively as any pill or injection. Sex provides a quick mood change. It is a reliable escape.It masks the pain. Eventually the sex addicts becomes powerless over it. The addict goes out of control as the compulsion takes control. Even harmful consequences cannot deter the sex addict's compulsion to repeat the act and find temporary relief.
