Is Watching PORN, A New Addiction..Iam Obsessed With Watching PORN

[Genesis42777]

Gotta share this with everyone here,iam in my 60,s and i have watched Porn since the late 70,s in the good old days of betamax and Vhs tapes and electric blue and fiona cooper era.pretty light tittilating stuff,then into the late 90,s with the advent of a "Personal Computer", connected to "freeserve-disc" on dial-up..that whistled as it connected at 28kps..mind blowing warp speeds but it worked, Hardcore Porn viewing was legalised in 2000.

Now the thing is...i just feel i have secretly and un-knowingly become addicted to watching porn..I watch it all the time,about 4 hours a day,i look at A/W and UKP,whilst iam at work but why ?? I notice we are all advised to "Gamble aware" but i don,t gamble not even a lottery ticket.Iam a middle income earner and financially comforable i dont drink alcohol,and would like to think i was of average intelligence.But yet i feel i have been taken over in some bizzare way...

Just wondering what the thoughts and views from people on here may be ??

A New Addiction???? Are you serious? People have watched porn and no doubt become addicted since the dawn of history. The only thing that keeps me off it is the real thing once or twice a week.

What has this got to do with punting?

This post and the one asking “ Have you ever punted in a relationship “ are the posts of the last couple of weeks that make me think that some people are on a total wind up all the time

I feel a ban coming on for the op.

Really not a good idea to watch it at work, it’s a sackable offence at most places, and unless you’ve got a black belt in cyber security you’re probably leaving traces that will be discovered double pronto if management ever do a check for any reason.

Apart from that, my gut feeling is 4 hours a day is at a worrying level….I’d be looking to reduce that.

Hard to give specific advice without knowing much more about you exact circumstances…which would be insane to discuss in this forum, but guess first starting point is for you to try to understand why it’s happening…ask questions like “has something else changed in my life?”, “what else do I enjoy doing?”, etc.

Like the OP I watch more porn than I would like to. The good thing is it often saves me money as otherwise I would be visiting a hooker. On the other hand it sometimes leads me to get too horny and visit a hooker. Double edged sword!

It is an addiction if watching porn has a negative effect on your life and you can't easily stop. For example you would watch porn instead of working.
In my case, I used to watch porn everyday and I thought I was kind of addict because I sometimes would not even touch myself, just enjoy it.
I decided to stop when I started punting and couldn't climax, as I realized that I couldn't get the same amount of excitement as with porn.
Stopping was really easy, I only had the urge to have porn once after a month, and it didn't last long. I haven't watched porn for almost 5 months and I honestly don't see the point to do it again.
I didn't see that much positive effect though apart that I wank less.

I had a similar experience. I used to wank whilst watching porn every day for years, almost as a routine. It gradually affected my punting performance, I think the main thing being that with porn you have total control, whereas real life sex involves interaction. Anyway, I googled NOFAP and was amazed how big a problem it is, especially, it seems, with young men in the USA. I went cold turkey for a few weeks and things soon sorted themselves out. There is a huge incentive to give up porn addiction and that is you are relinquishing something which is unreal so that you can resume the joy of real sex, which is the only experience I am aware of which can stimulate all five senses.

Must admit that I’d not noticed OP’s reaction to a bit of polite advice from DavieMac. No wonder he got near instant ban. Daft! (Both the OP and me.)

He originally posted in the general discussions section hence my quoting the rules but I moved it to off topic where he should have posted it in the first place, he could've carried on his discussion without the abuse.  There's no helping some people.

Like others I used to watch porn daily and flick through "gentleman's art" periodicals just as much. Similarly it affected my performance both punting and in relationships "ok let's do reverse anal cowgirl" doesn't tend to work in maintaining eroticism. I now limit myself if I'm solo or get the other half involved as well in watching porn. Never anything too OTT, so no "triple anal fisting to the elbow" videos and it works really well for me.

Likewise, unless I'm reviewing, I tend to limit my time on UKP and escorts sites as well.

Mary whitehouse was right to some extent : the more you watch the more you get desensitised and need different porn to stimulate you :  but I ain’t no doctor so could be crap I just typed lol
