Good morning all.
I am looking for the (obvious?) correlation between cyber infidelity/addiction and PE/ED. Any input or direction to research is appreciated. |

there is a direct connection...as a sexual anorexic/porn addiction, I can attest to the fact that it does cause sexual problems...I am currently working with a former sex addict thru phone counseling, so I dont have all the info you request...if you have any specific questions feel free to message me

your turning out the real world and turning inward towards your addiction...no different than someone who goes out alone and takes drugs...
obviously something in your past is preventing you from making close connections to "real people"...just an opinion eventually any/all forms of pornography will cause physical and emotional problems im doing phone counseling with a former addict try to find a therapist who has some backgroung in this area hope this helps |

Brian / Trevor:
thanks for your honest response and input. You are helping to reinforce (emotionally) what I am cognitively aware of. "Which came first, the egg or the chicken?" Is one amidst the throws of intimacy and seeks seeks/falls into the addiction? or Does the addiction take hold and create / enhance the intimacy addictions? My speculation: Dysfunctional patterns inspired in childhood lead to the intimacy issues...leading to the addictive patterns of escape? Any thoughts from personal introspection? And what may send an individual towards this addiction - vs drugs/alcohol/over eating/gambling/etc? Again, thanks - your sharing from the other side does help us on "our side" to understand. |

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