I've been struggling with this for a few yrs now, it's only really come to light the past while that it is becoming serious. I'm not generally that confident these days anymore, & I find myself going online & engaging in sexual activities with people online in an effort to satisfy the addiction & feel good about myself for once. I tell a lot of lies about various things I've done or are into, it all just depends on whatever mood I'm in at the time.
Is anyone else suffering with this? |

My husband use to be addicted to Internet porn for ten very long years and I got caught up in for a short while from all the checking I was doing...... not a wise thing for any non-viewing porn person to do - as you can see from what happened to me what the dangers of checking another persons viewing habits can be. Please take a few moments and read some of the other threads that have been written on the subject of porn over the last few days...... they will be of some great help to you. |

There are a few on this boards struggling with the same issues. You're not alone.
I am in a similar thing but maybe not as bad. I never really got into porn...but more into just chatting (sexually) with random guys I met online. And sometimes actually meeting them..... Not good. Just know that you are not alone, and there is help. Have you tried any kind of counseling or therapy? |

Yeah, I currently take counselling but it's not something I've ever spoken of to a professional.
More recently I'm finding myself getting caught up into more personal & intimate relationships with these people. I'm not rly sure what to do these days. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
