Porn addiction is a real addiction, and 1 in 3 guys between ages 15 & 50 are suffering porn induced erectile dysfunction because of it.
Yes, porn can break your dick… so if you want to not break your dick, listen up!
Here are signs porn could be a problem for you (or could be in the future)
You can’t get it up, you orgasm too soon, you can’t reach orgasm, or you don’t have morning wood.
As a porn user uses more frequently, escalates into different categories, searches for more novelty and variety, they are becoming numb and needing the next high. When you’re far enough in addiction, soon you won’t be able to have sex with your partner because you physically cannot get your dick to work.
You may still get it up for porn (at the moment), but give it time and eventually you won’t get it up for porn either.
One addict I knew needed such a high he mixed porn, cocaine, and alcohol to get it up and get the high he was looking for.

You know you want to stop, have tried, but have failed (many times now)
Addiction is defined as a behavior that you want to stop, but you cannot stop, that has harmful consequences, yet the individual cannot stop despite the harmful consequences.
Many addicts I help have tried to stop on their own for YEARS without success. They have lost their jobs, marriage, kids, and financial stability, and yet they cannot stop.
You’re partner has expressed they feel it’s cheating and you get Defensive and Angry over it
You might end up blaming your partner to shut them up so they won’t bring it up again, because really they brought up the shame you feel over your usage. You just didn’t want to feel it or address it because you know you’ve attempted to stop but can’t… and then you might be wondering “how do I tell her without her leaving me?”
You are using more frequently, in new places, and escalating
Instead of just using on occasion in the shower, it’s a daily if not multiple times a day occurrence, and it’s not just in the shower anymore….
- It’s in your car
- At your office
- In the bathroom at work
- In the grocery store you name it….
Or instead of just porn maybe…
- You’re now interacting with live cam girls
- You’re going to massage parlors
- You’re going on craigslist to find people to hook up with
- You’re regularly blowing your checks at strip club joints,
- You’ve ventured into categories that horrify you (yet excite you),
- You’ve gone and had sex with another person (whether a friend, stranger, or prostitute)
Isolation & Lack of Emotions
Addiction brings out shame, and shame makes you want to hide. If you’ve been spending more time with your porn and affair partners then with friends, family, and your partner there’s a real problem occurring.
If you’ve been unable to feel emotions aside from numbness, depression, anxiety, and high, your addiction is keeping you in a state of emotional flatness. You can’t feel empathy for others, you can barely feel your own emotions, and you are focused on you and what makes you feel good.
But you don’t have to stay in addiction. We have an amazing entry level group for those in the beginning stages of recovery called SSR (Sexual Stimulation Recovery).
SSR is for guys who are addicted to masturbation, porn, and/or sex, where they gain knowledge, accountability, support, and community.
