Porn addiction can be a response to challenging circumstances, and it's something many people struggle with at some point.

Why do we develop porn addiction, where does it come from, and why is it harmful?

Porn addiction can develop as a response to various challenging circumstances.

It often stems from underlying issues such as stress, anxiety, or emotional distress. When faced with these stressors, individuals may turn to pornography as a coping mechanism, seeking temporary relief or escape from their problems.

The origins of porn addiction can be both external and internal. External factors include exposure to explicit content, peer pressure, and societal influences. Internal factors, such as personal beliefs, low self-esteem, and negative self-talk, can also contribute to the development of addiction. These internal struggles can make it difficult for individuals to cope with everyday challenges, leading them to seek solace in pornography.

Porn addiction can have harmful effects on various aspects of life. It can strain relationships with family and friends, negatively impact work performance, and take a toll on physical and mental health. Prolonged addiction can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation, further exacerbating emotional distress. Seeking professional help through counselling can be an effective way to address and overcome porn addiction, leading to a healthier and more balanced life. 


Porn addiction can strain relationships with loved ones, reduce social support, and negatively impact work performance. Managing it effectively is essential for overall well-being. Seeking help from a counsellor like me and addressing the root causes can mitigate its negative effects.

What can be done and how can counselling help with porn addiction?

One of the hardest lessons to learn about managing porn addiction is that you can't control the situations that might trigger it. Life will always present challenges and circumstances that can lead to addictive behaviours. Accepting this reality is crucial for effectively managing porn addiction.

But you can learn to take control of your own thoughts, feelings, and emotions and how you respond to triggers. You can learn to stay calm in challenging situations. You can learn not to let urges control your actions. You can learn to manage your behaviour and make healthier choices.
