im a porn addict....and it can destroy relationships...you must confront this head on and not treat it like some "passing thing" or "all men do it"

I am doing online and phone counseling for my addiction

you might also think about the financial aspect too...not all online porn is free
I could have bought a nice sports car with the money Ive blown on my sexual addiction

sexual addiction is not about SEX...the core basis is feelings of lonliness and desperation based on past abuses/failures and relationships

if he continues to use pornography he will ultimately become "emotionally unattached" to you...I know because it happened to me and my wife

obviously the compulsion to use porn is directly connected to him not being able to be intimate with you ( and I dont mean just having sex)

my suspicion is something in his past has been locked away and he wont let it surface, and the pornography helps cope

I no longer can achieve orgasm with my wife due to years of "frying" my brain to images and videos...thru therapy I am learning to reconnect with my wife in a way I never thought possible

hope this helps
