Pornography Addiction

Pornography addiction is a behavioral compulsion where an individual repeatedly consumes excessive amounts of sexually explicit material, despite negative consequences. It can lead to changes in brain chemistry similar to other addictions, affecting impulse control and emotional well-being. This reliance may interfere with daily life, relationships, and personal goals. Like other addictions, it often involves compulsive behavior driven by the need for temporary relief or escape. Recognizing it involves understanding the pattern of dependence and impact, with treatment typically including therapy, support groups, and lifestyle adjustments to regain control and address underlying issues.
