I'm glad you said that Brian (a MAN) and not me this time... as I often get jumped on when I say the same thing when a female is asking this about men that look over all.

Thanks for Sharing...

Those sweeping statements I have said time and time again hubby watchs porn and it has no affect on our marriage at all ....

He spends very little on it as he is so tight with money and is not addicted .

To you one and all.

Each and everyone of us are different.

Brian....

I don't have to confront him as I said earlier we are open about !

It's a matter of trust.

Do you call someone an addict because they have the odd bottle of wine at the weekend ? Or the same because someone goes to the casino with a mate once a month or so ? I know I am addicted to smoking but does that mean the man who has the odd cigar at Christmas is also addicted to smoking ?

And please dont stop talking about it I find a good debate is great fun !
Thanks for this!

IMO - An addiction is when someone cannot exist with out their so called drug of choice (alcohol, sweets, porn, sex, masturbation, video games, exercise, tv, etc)... that which controls and takes away from their daily life and activities, rather it be daily hourly or weekly... if you cannot live "function" with out it you are addicted.

So an occasional "any thing" is not an addiction, but rather a pleasure of the palate mind or body.
Thanks for this!
