It can get quite sick. There was another thread on this forum about pornography use and studies that have been done. At least for men, the near instant stimulation can eventually cause erectile dysfunctions.
There was an MTV show on “True Life: I’m a porn addict.” They showed one man who was previously happily married. All he had to do was kick the habit and his wife would accept him back. All of his computers were locked with the password “I love [wife’s name]” so he had to type that if he ever wanted to bypass the block. He just couldn’t stop.
I’ll post more about this subject at a future time. Maybe tomorrow. Too tired now.
I was once very addicted. One solution is willpower; it is what separates us humans from animals. Conquering something like that will make you feel very in control. I got a tremendous rise out of controlling my addiction. After severe tragedy I learned to control my emotions too. Being in control of your mind helps you grow leaps and bounds beyond what you ever thought was possible. At the end of the day it is your choice.
