Causes Of Porn Addiction

What I Learned
There was two really important things that I learned from this book, that this is no such thing as porn addiction, and that we still have a long way to go to increase sexual intelligence and porn literacy. The first is how finally it is confirmed that porn addiction and sex addiction are not real disorders. On pages 159-162 and pages 170-172 in Chapter 9: Why there’s no such thing as Porn Addiction-and why it
Matters. This chapter takes a lot of time to go through and explain that porn addiction is simply a term made up by other individuals to place blame on porn for other issues that may be affecting (usually a couple’s) life. However, there is no discernable evidence supporting that porn addiction is actually a thing. There

On pages 176-183 in Chapter 10: Increasing Porn Literacy and Sexual Intelligence for Therapists, Doctors, and Clergy, the text talks a lot about how porn watching is still treated like such a taboo thing in couples. It is shocking to read how many health professionals will devolve down to ostracize porn watchers in marriage counselors and just work under the assumption that ‘this must be the main cause of all strife and unhappiness’. Clearly the therapeutic field needs an update on sexual education so they can start saving more marriages than they are helping destroy. In this day and age, it is foolish to assume that no one watches porn, when in fact most everyone watches porn. Sure there are some habits of watching porn that might need to be addressed in therapy sessions, like confirming that the client knows that porn doesn’t imitate real life and other factors like that. Therapists and others should not be going into a counseling session and make assumptions like ‘he watches porn so he must disrespect his wife or, she watches porn so he must not be attracted to her boyfriend’. It is assumptions like these that shy away from underlying real problems or other factors. Porn may be used to help increase ones sexual desire, it could be used as a coping mechanism for not having as much sex, or even simply it could just be done to help alleviate boredom. Topics like

It was incredibly awesome to read about promoting positive body images and self-confidence and knowing that the women that do porn have so many advantages when it comes to looking and sounding pretty. This information came from pages 53, 54, and 55 of Interlude E: No, Mabel, You Don’t Have to Compete with Porn Actresses. This chapter discusses the importance of knowing that recreating the way porn stars perform with all of their equipment, is essentially unattainable in a real life setting. It’s part of their jobs as professionals to do what they do, and even then, having sex in real life is still infinitely better than watching porn. And the beauty about porn is that it is not discriminatory about unusual body types. Porn stars of all shapes and sizes exist which further confirms that positive body images in both males and females needs to come from within, and not be something where Mia Khalifa or Johnny Sins is the body you’re striving to work for and won’t be happy until it is
