I went off my antidepressants and my sex drive exploded. I didn't have a partner and didn't want to do it with just anyone so I got addicted to porn, was watching at least 4 times a day and it was awful. Extremely depressing and it messed up the way I thought and communicated with people. It's very rare that I've heard anyone talk about this side effect of going off of antidepressants. It took 3 years to lower my sex drive and porn use and it was very difficult. Distraction with other healthier hobbies is very helpful, remembering that you want to change and can't change unless you deny yourself helps a lot too. I'm feeling much better now, I felt like I was turning into a monster and I didn't like myself. Your brain and body will require it less often if you see how long you can make it without it. You can lessen the extremity of what you watch as well, working down to vanilla stuff. It's difficult but not impossible. It's like any addiction where you have to really want to change and always remember that it isn't what you really want for yourself.

One that is not mentioned enough- lack of physical contact from the opposite sex. The intense hunger for touch and longing for intimacy manifests itself in addiction to porn, as the person tries to imagine for themselves what they are watching. It's not even sex the person often craves... it's just human intimacy (ie kissing, cuddling in bed, etc).
And to settle it straight, this affects men exponentially more than women.

i was exposed to porn when i was really young, it scared me so much im still dealing with anxiety that sexual stuff brings me. i wish porn would be made way more inaccessible because i know im not the only one with this issue. children should not be so easily exposed to stuff like that since it can and in most cases will cause long term problems, whether developing an addiction to it at a very young age, or dev. anxiety over that stuff.

That was helpful ! Porn addiction destroyed me. Literally. Mentally and physically. I m 46 and still struggling. I m fighting alone. I cant speak to anyone else about that. First i m ashamed a bit. To reveal the size of the problem. Secondly i dont think that many people around me are capable of helping me . But everything in this vid are so true ! And i felt a little...hope ! Thanks !

Porn addiction is a tough battle, but it's one that you can overcome. It's important to remember that seeking help and support is a brave step forward, and you should be proud of yourself for acknowledging the issue.
Many people turn to porn as a coping mechanism for various underlying reasons. Some common roots of this coping mechanism include stress, loneliness, boredom, low self-esteem, and past trauma. Understanding these triggers can be a crucial part of breaking free from the cycle of addiction.
But remember, recovery is possible. It's about finding healthier ways to cope with difficult emotions and situations, building a support system, and practicing self-compassion along the way. Take it one step at a time, and be gentle with yourself throughout the process.

For me, it's a combination of depression, anxiety, loneliness, unfulfilled sexual needs, and touch starvation. I've been addicted to porn for over 11 years now as a negative coping mechanism following my mom passing away from ironically enough, breast cancer.
I just don't see myself being able to break free until I can find a romantic and sexual partner, which seems unlikely given my piss poor social skills given I'm on the Autism Spectrum and more importantly I'm afraid to put myself out there out of fear of rejection since I assume everyone is out to expose me since everyone feels the need to put others down to feel better about themselves given how miserable everyone is in this world. Most days I wish I didn't feel anything. But whatever, this is just my lot in life. Working hard for pennies so everyone else can live happy, pain-free lives. I envy everyone who is happy and in a relationship. I wish I could be committed to a psych ward, but unfortunately, I can't where I live unless you're actively homicidal or suicidal. There just aren't beds for everyone who needs one
