Is it interfering with your life or otherwise causing you distress?

Personally, I have never been into porn. So I can't address your concern directly. I have, however, struggled with "fetishistic" types of behaviors in the past. My experience has been that when my outward situation changed, such that there was no longer an opportunity to engage in the behavior, then the behavior dropped away. In fact, it didn't even cause me that much distress. However, prior to my outward circumstances changing, I don't believe I could have abandoned the behavior simply through the use of willpower. Beyond that, I would say that therapy may be your best bet.

I was surprised to learn that most people (at least in my area) who go to sex addicts anonymous meetings are more addicted to internet porn than anything else. If you can't stop when you are trying to stop, it's possible that it is an addiction.

I had a bad problem with it a few years ago but I kicked it but it is now creeping back into my life and I have an amazing wife who does not approve of watching it so I don't want to have her upset by me watching it

I did watch porn at some point in my life, not addiction but probably too much. I did it as a substitute for emotional closeness i was missing in relationship. I have no interest in it now at all. How are other things in your life?

In my experience it can be very destructive to oneself or your relationship if your in one. I don't care for porn but my soon to be ex wife got addicted to it and in fact acted out and cheated on me bcuz she wanted "new and exciting stuff". If it's controlling you please see a sex therapist.

You bet it does. My marriage was destroyed because of porn which then led to cheating. Please see someone about this before it takes a hold of you.

Quit, and turn to God. Before it gets worse. And yes it will get worse and worse. To the point where your mind will wonder into a place where you don't want it to wonder...
