Porn use is a pursuit of gratifying sexual urges that often involve an obsessive use of masturbation, romantic obsession, or objectified partner sex. Comparatively, porn addiction is porn use that has become a preoccupation in an ongoing, out-of-control pattern of compulsive fantasy and behavior. In short, porn addiction is unregulated intense sexual fantasies, urges, and behaviors that produce a type of euphoria that is used as a means of feeling better. However, the trade off is feeling better with disruption to one’s spiritual wholeness, relationship ability, and self-concept.

Healthy people reach out to friends and intimate others for support and comfort. Porn addicts self-sooth by escaping their life problems in obsessive fantasy and masturbation, which keeps them isolated from healthy relationship development.

The shamefulness of porn addiction leads porn addicts to avoid finding help with their problem. They are chronically caught in objectified repetitive patterns of behaviors that require secrecy, lies, and denial. They get very good at this. In so many ways, it becomes their means to survive their life’s distresses. They need help.

Help for porn addiction in Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, and Coeur d’Alene is available. Unfortunately, porn addicts tend to view their problem as a nuisance rather than the seriously disruptive dependence that it is. For them to get help, too often, means being forced by threats of divorce, job loss, or some other major factor. Porn addiction is an insufficient attempt to self-regulate the stresses of life. Thus, trained and certified professionals best treat it. Call today. 208-755-7114
