as one with an addictive personallity, i can say that it can be.

the question you must ask yourself is "Is this getting in the way of my work, relationships, etc? does viewing/gathering this add something to the repitore, or does it put unrealistic expectations
upon yourself and/or a SO?"

as with many addictions, the addiction itself is a symptom.

in my case, i tend to run hot and cold on porn.

Did someone say porn???

I'd take an average, live girl over a downloaded porn star anyday!
but, I need to go to a pornoholics anonymous meeting just like everyone one else here

I know the difference between addiction and hobby.

I get addicted to computer RPGs, ie going without food and sleep for longer than I should, well and that one time I sucked a dick for a copy of Fallout 2... ;)

Porn is just a hobby for me.

I think its way too addictive and easy to access. I personally believe it gave me a skewed view on relationships and women as i started watching from such an early age.

It scares me that with the internet so accessable these days, so many kids will be going thru what i did and becoming slowly more addicted with every passing day.

Personally i think im over it now, i still have about 90 gig but its rarely used.

The real question is who is not addicted to porn. I feel that people deep down inside enjoy porn.

sillygirl 02-13-2004 05:35 AM

I disagree with that statement. I don't like porn.

Every day at work I deal with people who obviously are WAY too interested in porn. It practically rules their lives at times, it seems. Wives call, wanting to know what's going on. Girlfriends call in tears. I believe that porn is an incredibly unnecessary part of life.

I agree with all that sillygirl has said in this thread.
Right On!

I'm finally slowing down in my porn collecting. I was really getting crazy at one point. I found Usenet and got up to owning 500,000 pics quickly, and I wanted to get 1 million. I had days where dling 36,000 in one day was not unusual. I mastered site ripping and combined it with usenet and am finally slowing it down after collecting about 1.3 million pics. It takes up an entire bookshelf , at least 200 CDs full, and that's just the pics. I finally just got bored with collection and stopped going to those newsgroups and actively ripping sites. It would take me weeks to look at all this. I was more addicted to dling I think than porn but the porn was definitely it's own obsession for a while.

1. I admire your collection skillz :)
2. Yep, I'm more keen on the collecting process too. It's an obsession. :shrug:

:D

I'm defnitely addicted to downloading. Getting Bit Torrent working right definitely upped the addiction. Now for a bigger HD....

runawayfetus 02-22-2004 04:47 PM

yea its definitely addicting. I read an article about people who were addicted to porn. They do nothing with their lives but look at porn, always. Just like pot heads can do nothing all day but smoke weed. Its real, and almost scary.

doncalypso 02-22-2004 06:24 PM

I'm extremely addicted to porn... especially when it comes to anal sex and anal creampie videos.

I think I'll have to go to therapy to outgrow my porn addiction.

Adam Carolla once sumed it up in a way that made sense to me. It was a long time ago that I heard it, so forgive me if I bastardize it.

He was talking about the fact that when you first start out with porn, something as simple as the hint of a nipple would be enough to get you arroused, but after time it takes more explicit and sometimes more bizarre things to get you exited.

He said it was like on the 4th of July, when you first start lighting fireworks. At first, the sparklers are awesome and enough to keep you occupied, but by the end of the night you're pouring gasoline in the street and throwing lit fireworks at each other.

I think I had a point when I started, but hell if I can remember it now.
Good times...

i used to go nuts for it in High School, but now a days i could care less. desensitized/seen it all.
Seeing a hot person and imagining her nakid > revealing all.

I'll see your porn collection and raise you my cabinet full of warez.

Not almost scary. ACTUALLY scary. It's really really really really really really bad. (add some more really's)

You don't outgrow an addiction. You have to want to fix it. You have to WANT to get over it. And it takes a lot of work. People going through withdrawal from sexual addiction show a lot of the same withdrawal symptoms as those going through withdrawal of different drugs. And the thing about porn is that so much of it is free. It's easier to hide, and a large portion of society considers porn to be a 'normal' habit. So it's easier to pass it off, also. It is not 'normal' for someone to use cocaine. It isn't 'normal' for someone to drink themselves into oblivion every night. It's the same thing.
