Tell your parents that you are very bored with your life and that you'd like to enjoy the summer. If they are not willing to accompany you on your trips outside the house to experience life then they need to let you go by yourself (get some mace or something).

If they will not allow you to leave the house because they are not willing to go with you and you are a prisoner in your house I PERSONALLY consider that child abuse. If you are not allowed to leave the house.

No wonder you are unhappy and prone to addictions!!!!

You need to discuss this issue with your parents - this is not right.

Also, if you don't have friends right now try doing some things by yourself that you enjoy.

I haven't had any friends for most of my life because I had low self esteem in high school and thought I was a piece of crap (that's what my parents taught me)- plus I have always been very independant (many only children are).

This is not right.
You need to tell your parents you are not happy with their rules that prohibit you from going out and experiencing the summer.

You are 16 not 13. This is ridiculous. I'm sure they mean well, being concerned about your safety but they can't imprison you- that is illegal.

Here's the whole thing. Yes, i love porn. I'm a VERY sexual person. Am i an "addict" ? Well, first off i don't care for labels. When i was married, i used it cause the stbx had no sex drive and so then it was a substitute. However, i still love to watch it. Now that we're seperated, i only use it as a substutute when i don't have a partner. It will never take the place of the opportunity to have actual sex.
Does this qualify me as an addict? And like isaid sometime ago, i never made any attempt to hid my love of porn from my wife. Half of me believes that she knew i was using it cause she would'nt give it up and it was better than me cheating on her.

I agree wholeheartedly with reply #16. This is imprisonment. I had friends at 16 and still prefered to do many things alone (going to the park just to enjoy nature and photograph animals, landscapes, etc.). Do you have a camera? Maybe that would be something they'd let you do alone.

If I couldn't ever leave the house, I'd be lovin myself up, too. There's only so many hours I can read and so many video games I can play. They need to let you out for air and physical activity at least.

"The porn can keep you from ever having a real relationship."

A long time ago I was married and although the marriage was never very good ( 2 sick puppies trying to make a dog ) The thought of a healthy long term relationship, possibly with some one I could think of as one of my best friends is appealing to me. Mind you I have a long way to go before I even consider it. All of my past relationships were built on either sex, drugs, alcohol or a combination of all of these. So I guess Ill cut this short and just say that for me porn, masturbation and all the symptoms that goes with it is going to keep me from ever having a close, personal, healthy relationship with a another person. Mind you, this is just my 2 cents.

Peace

justawoman you are wrong... i am a addict and yes i like to do some freaky things... i can do everything i see in porns and i have... but i still love making love is the best because you feel a connection like no other... but sometimes you just need animal/porn sex

i have had 2 great relationship and they ended only because 1 i wanted to moved to florida and she want to move back home and the second because she passed away...

porn is fine and if your parnter tries to change you then they are not right for you... you are suppose to love your partner for who they are... but you have a bunch of people on here crying for help to change thier partners.... if your parnter doesnt except you then dont be with them....

I was married to someone addicted to porn, it came and went in it's various ways throughout the best of 11 years. It made me feel like there was something wrong with me and lowered my self esteem and sent me spiriling into depression...I hated myself for letting someone get to me like that but I loved the man. He just didn't care what it was doing to me until I made him leave... I was tired of being treated like I was in the porno when we had sex, it was always rough and distasteful, even choked me once to get off...his level seemed to keep escalating and I fucking hated it, hated waking up every day to another day of misery... I haven't been able to trust another man, haven't dated in 3 years and don't care to. Think about what you are doing to the so in your life and not just about yourself and your poor addiction, care enough for the other person in your life if you want it to stop. Everyone has the power to make choices, if your will power isn't strong it it your own fault, you are a weak person.

A SA knows deep down if their behaviour is wrong or not, addictive or not. You have some people wanting to hold on and justify why its okay, and others who realise their destructive behaviours must stop, but struggle to overcome the urge.
If single, is your behaviour stopping you from enjoying your life, or meeting others? If in relationship, and you have to lie to your partner and keep secrets about behaviours, then YES, its a problem.

well dutch... then i guess im not an addict hahaha i just do it alot = ) but some people on here act like if you do it alot then it will become a addiction.... i came on here for help but to realize i dont need help because i got control and i always will.... but some people on here are like me but think they are addicts so i talk to people to try and see if they are addict like me or real ones and to help the real addicts and to tell the other ones that they are fine when you have everyone telling them they have to stop because it is wrong....

yes trinaOz... i agree with her for some of what she says... if it is hurting your life in anyway then you need to control it but for the people it doesnt affect dont need everyone telling them they need to stop because any of the reason that they want to give....

Thank you all for your replies. I actually have had a lot more problems with sex and porn things and I have taken into consideration what all of you have said and am now completely convinced that I have a problem. Just for the information I am 16 years old, I met someone on here that...did something online with me and now everytime I even think of it I cry because its not something I wanted to do, it was like cyber rape but I was only willing for one reason, and I couldnt stop myself. But now it haunts me every day, and I dont know what to do. I am trying my best not to and so far have been about a week without doing anything and I am trying really hard to stay away from people that I think will hurt me like that again....it doesnt seem like hurt when we are doing it but later on it doesnt leave me alone Im haunted by everything I do and I still cry every time I even remember something I did months ago. I dont know, I need help now on how to get rid or at least put my memories aside, deeply aside....
