Internet porn addiction
The ease of availability of porn on the internet has led to a large increase of users, usually men, looking for a way out of the cycle of problematic internet porn addiction.
What seems like harmless escape can sometimes slide into an all consuming pastime that erodes self-esteem and relationships.
Porn as escape
Sexual stimulation can put you in a state of hyperfocus which is especially attractive when you might be avoiding negative thoughts and feeling such a anxiety, depression, grief etc. Unfortunately, the effect soon wears off after orgasm and the the feelings can return often with an added sense of shame.
Porn as a reward
The brain releases dopamine as a reward for pleasure. All well and goo in the right measure but we are not meant to stimulated all the time. Constant dopamine hits become less effective over time and so there is a craving for more.
