Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other sexual behavior.
Hi I have been battling porn addiction for years and was wondering if you have any advice on how to overcome it and not give into temptation so easily and be free from this addiction
You can only learn why you are addicted, why you need it, why it controls you.
Once you learn the whys you can recognize the danger and work to change the course of action.
An real alcoholic can never have a drink but is always an alcoholic. They know even one drink will destroy them.
It is that way with all addictions. sex, drugs, alcohol, food, adrenalin, even violence.
With that said we are not prefect only God is, and he knows that. We have free will, and we are what we chose to do with that freedom. When we think we can control the addiction that is when we fail over and over every time. The only way we know how to be "FREE" of the addiction is to turn over the control to our higher power of our understanding, God.
I suggest you find a local SA group, hopefully one that can meet face to face.
Start a daily journal, write down what you did good today, and then what you did wrong, and how each one made you feel.
I even suggest you read the bible first when you need porn, after reading a little bit see if you still need porn. Btw the way the bible is full of it.
I pray you are safe and healthy
