Hardcore porn addiction - a goose chase against my own mind

    Hello everyone,

    I am very much delighted to have discovered this community. I have been suffering from addiction to Hardcore p for sometime now.

    It is not that serious in the amount of times I watch porn (though sometimes I do spend quite a lot of time doing that) but I still feel my mind is corrupted by it. In my personal life I am quite a sensitive emotional guy, and I consider myself to be a feminist. However, I sometimes have episodes where I see the most rough, degrading, hardcore and even overtly anti-feminist p.

    This worries me not only because I think it's morally wrong, but because I am overcome by a desire that is so against what I believe in and feel comfortable with in my everyday life. It makes me feel so Helpless! Like I am an animal or a child with no self control.

    What finally made me come forth is the start of my relationship with a woman I really really like (maybe even love). Our relationship is great, and the sex is good but I feel like every now and then the sex is tainted with these thoughts and it hurts my connection with her. Also I have the occasional erctile dysfunction.

    All this to say - anyone with a similar experience? I will really like some help, and if you can't provide it - just not feeling alone would be nice.

    Thank you!!

    I think a lot of people here have felt uncomfortable with the morality of using pornography, for varying reasons. Getting control over your base desires is definitely a big part of this and you're not alone in terms of struggling with that.

    It takes a while to sort of resensitise to normal sex if that makes sense. Porn really skews your sort of window for what is sexual, it might be your brain needs to rewire away from hardcore imagery and back to arousal through regular sexual contact. Try and avoid P and M and your ED may improve, it does for a lot of people.

    Welcome,

    I learned that not being in touch with my own masculinity was a bigger problem then my addiction to porn, which was merely a symptom of this major root problem.

    I dare you to read Dr. Robert Glover's
    No More Mr Nice Guy.
