How Much Porn Is an Addiction?

Question by Ashley: how much porn is an addiction?
I just moved in with my fiance and discovered that he watches porn very regularly….like just about every day, and any time I’m not home when he is. (In other words, any chance he gets….)

I know guys like porn and thats okay, but I talked to him about it and I said that it made me uncomfortable that he watched it so much. He told me that if it upset me, he would stop.
Needless to say, I woke up in the middle of the night to find him on his computer watching…porn? Imagine that……

I didn’t expect him to stop as a whole I just wish he would cut down because he makes me feel like he’s extremely dissatisfied with me. I’m really not as insecure as this makes me seem….it’s just, when your guy, who you have sex with very often, feels the need to look up all these naked women constantly it just makes me feel like i’m competing with them. I guess it’s jealousy…

But should I be concerned, or should I just leave him alone? Isn’t this going to hurt our sex lives, ultimately? I told him I think it’d be cool if we watched it together maybe, but it just made me feel shitty that he was always looking up naked girls….

How much porn is an addiction for a guy who has actual sex regularly?

Answer by Quixotic²
Every day is very excessive. Whether or not he’s addicted … well, you’d better get it sorted out before you marry him.

Gambling, Poker, VLT, Slot Machines Addiction – www.gamblinghelper.com Similarities between pathological gambling and chemical dependency include an inability to stop the addiction, denial, severe depression, and mood swings. Pathological gambling and chemical dependency are both progressive diseases with similar phases. These include “chasing” the first win/high, experiencing blackouts and using the object of addiction to escape pain. Both pathological gamblers and persons addicted to alcohol or drugs are preoccupied with their addiction, experience low self-esteem, use rituals, and seek immediate gratification. Unlike chemical addiction, pathological gambling is a hidden disease gamblers do not stumble, have needles in their arm, or smell of cards and dice. Pathological gamblers cannot overdose in the conventional sense, but they experience tremendous financial problems that require immediate attention. More resources are available to chemical dependency than gambling addiction, in part because most people do not perceive gambling as potentially addicting. It is very important that pathological gamblers receive crisis stabilization at the beginning of their treatment, because pathological gamblers have a much higher suicide rate than persons addicted to alcohol or drugs. www.gamblinghelper.com
