Ahh, subjective reality. I was going to post this topic today and it's been done for me.
I am actually on day ten of a thirty day exemption from pornography. There is a major difference between admiring the beautiful human form and seeing it as a work of art compliments of Gaia and viewing people in intercourse for the sole reason of arousal. The latter is the one where dependence emerges. Sex fills your body with endorphins and when you're using porn to escape, as I did, it acts like a drug. In my situation, it was my intimate outlet. Several childhood traumas left me feeling unloved and a burden to society so I introverted and escaped. Having viewed porn since the age of 11, I was burnt. Porn made me angry, tired, I had less confidence sexually and otherwise, and my girlfriend was less sexually attractive to me. I've known this to be a problem for several years and it took my antithesis-of-addictive girlfriend's viewing of porn to make me realize I needed to moderate. I gain control through cold turkey and eventually I'm able to absolutely prevent a recurrence. So now I'll be able to handle porn without becoming dependent again. I feel more energized, less angry, more confident, and more sexually attracted to my beautiful girlfriend. If you feel you have a problem, cut out what's causing it.
