It seriously pisses me of when people say porn addiction doesn't exist when in fact I still sometimes struggle with it myself and have been hooked onto porn since I was first exposed to it at the age of 4. I also know and observed plenty of people who are addicted to porn and have recovered or are trying to recover from it. If you can't stop watching porn, not even one video or one image, for an entire year...you're in fact addicted to it.
Even my ex-boyfriend failed his two self-made promises that he would never watch porn again for the rest of his life but each time we temporarily break up, he would go back to porn again..and again.. and again...and at one point I felt obliged to give him some porno selfies of me just to get him to stop watching porn of other females behind my back but of course he wouldn't recover from PMO (Porn-Masturbation Orgasm) addiction because alternatives like that don't work. They just enable. Eventually he no longer became physically attracted to me like he once used to.
Even his phone and PC wallpapers became plastered with hyper-sexualized anime chicks instead of images of me (he used to have an image of my face as his PC's wallpaper but he eventually took that down as porno females became more attractive to him)...and he "joked" about how these anime chicks keep him company. He states that he's strictly monogamous but yo, what he's been doing is NOT monogamous. I told him how all that made me feel but truly he doesn't care...porn really impacted the frontal lobe of his brain (see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050060/ and my summary analysis).
He wasn't that desensitized nor apathetic. Before I further introduced him to hentai (I wasn't anti-porn before) he used to be really caring...almost always putting me first before him. His sexual standards also became pornified and he expected me to act like those porn actresses. I used to have really strong self-esteem but for awhile after dealing with him being influenced by porn, it just completely disintegrated. I trusted him. Trusted that our relationship was truly monogamous as well. Trusted that he was completely loyal towards me. I have major trust issues now, and after having to go through all that my mental health is pretty much f**ked up but I'm slowly recovering from it or at least I think I am.
Porn addiction is real and it's widespread.
