About Internet Porn Addiction:
Cheating in a marriage is no longer limited to affairs, late night rendezvous, or sleazy motels. It can now happen right in your own home-while you sleep! The rising phenomenon of internet pornography has begun to destroy marriages and relationships across the US.
Men often justify their porn use as harmless, victimless, and minimize the addictive allure of internet porn. Women however see little or no difference between online porn use, often connected with compulsive masturbation, and outright adultery. Internet cheating can rip apart relationships.
The sad truth is that the producers of internet porn know all about the mechanisms of addiction, and use addiction research to build stronger internet experiences that trap casual users into a cycle of addiction.
The reward centers of the brain flood the user with strong chemicals that reinforce continued porn use. Oxytocin and other endorphins are so addictive that soon the user can’t get satisfaction from real life intimacy and become ensnared in every more exotic images and stimulation. Coupled with masturbation, the internet porn addict becomes trapped in compulsive behavior. He or she must find new, more extreme pictures, videos, and scenarios to get full arousal and climax.
Escaping the trap of internet porn is not easy, but it is possible. We have coaching and counseling for those who wish to stop. Individual work is important, partner support is needed, and peer support is powerful. Depending on the individual, we can provide a model that works. Set up a free consultation appointment for yourself, or for your partner to explore how to save your relationship and stop the abuse of internet porn.
