Hello,
My name is Paul, I fully understand the devastating effects of cyberporn. What starts off as a good time turns into a full blown addiction. Pornographic addiction is no different than a substance abuse like a cocaine addiction. Porn addiction would be considered a compulsive sexual addiction. The compulsive masturbation can lead to an endorphin addiction. When a person uses cocaine messages are sent to the brains reward center, and an over flow of dopamine (the chemical that gives us pleasure) occurs. The same over flow of dopamine occurs when we have an orgasm. Over time our brain rewires itself and craves more and more dopamine. Just as an alcoholic needs a recovery program, so does the sexual addicted. Sit down with your husband and let him know that it is not his fought that he likes to feel good, however it has turned into an addiction and he is to get help. You can search "sexual sobriety" for how to make the first move. In some cases the threat of rehab is enough motivation for one to make a change for the better.
The longer one stays on the path, the better one knows the way.
