It's an addiction. Get help. Don't kid yourself, it will ruin your marriage and cause problems with your children later on. It took me a long time to admit I was addicted, and it is really the new drug of the younger generation.
Flame away. |

Quoted:
Good on you for recognizing you had a problem and for doing something about it. And best wishes for that, truly. That said, most people who choose to drink are not alcoholics. +1 Like anything else, if you have an addictive personality it can turn into an addiction. |

Are you kidding? When you're married, it's often your only outlet. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile We have plenty of sex. Trying to integrate it in a monogamous relationship doesn't work. I don't expect most of ARFCOM to agree, but it's better than ignoring the subject. |

Addicts often times see their "drug" as being devastating for everyone. Other than (long term) cigarette smoking and hard drugs (heroin, meth, etc) they are largely wrong.
I drink in moderation and use a credit card daily without being an alcoholic or underwater in consumer debt. |

(My guess is the wife couldn't understand why you wanted to look at other women and considered it "Cheating" but then, didn't offer to remedy your carnal cravings with More Sex from her, or her own naked pictures... just a "You can't do that!" attitude or "You need Jesus" attitude.) |

It got me through a rough 3-4 years after a break up...
During that time I put priority on things like getting entirely out of debt and working tons of overtime because if I am a bit depressed then I might as well be depressed and earning money than depressed and doing nothing. During that time I bought a couple cars and kept myself busy with working on cars/projects. But at the end of the night it was routine to flog the dolphin for a bit. Big deal. I am with a great gal now and there is little to no interest in looking at naughty stuff and slapping it around. Not everyone is Ned Flanders on one extreme of the spectrum nor David Carradine on the other side of the spectrum. |

Wrong. It hasn't ruined our marriage but has strained it. Addictions make you do stupid things and hurt people, and there is no way that porn offers advantages to your relationship. |

I tried to quit, found that if I don't release the pressure every day or two, I turn into a total asshole.
As it was stated before, some of us are married and need that release somehow...and what I'm I gonna do, have sex with my wife?
Before the "if it's that bad why are you still with her?" Well, this thread was created to say that we should quit porn because it's bad for your marriage... I'm pretty sure divorce is far worse for your marriage. |

I can think of a few:

| Oh, come on. There are temples in India that are thousands of years old with "porn" images carved on them. You don't see pictures of tens or hundreds of thousands of Indians staring at the temples all day and night. So-called "porn" is just artistic expression. Saying "porn" is an addiction is like saying reading Emily Dickinson or Sylvia Plath is an addiction. |
