Porn Addiction

Porn addiction is a behavioral addiction characterized by an excessive and compulsive use of pornography, which can lead to negative impacts on one's personal, social, and emotional life. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Symptoms: Individuals may experience cravings, increased tolerance (needing to view more explicit content), and withdrawal symptoms when not engaging with pornography. It may interfere with relationships, work, or daily responsibilities.

2. Causes: Factors contributing to porn addiction can include accessibility, anonymity of the internet, societal attitudes toward sexual content, and personal issues such as stress, loneliness, or unresolved trauma.

3. Consequences: It can lead to unrealistic expectations about sex and relationships, decreased sexual satisfaction, and potential impacts on mental health, such as anxiety or depression.
