Is There a Such Thing as “Binge Pornography Addiction”?
Question by Ross: Is there a such thing as “binge pornography addiction”?
I’m 30 years old and I have been in a monogamous relationship for two years. Prior to that, I was in another monogamous relationship for five years.
That’s why I’m so confused about this whole pornography thing.
As a teenager, I was obsessed with porn. I used to look at pictures, watch videos, read stories and chat online as often as I could. I would stay up late at night secretly doing all those things. I always felt really guilty and scared my parents were going to find out.
In college, I wasn’t sexually active until sophomore year and while I looked online at pornography some, it wasn’t like before. By the second year of college, I barely looked at porn at all.
For the next few years, it was like that. I would go for a month obsessed with online pornography, then several months would go by and I wouldn’t even think about porn.
From 2005 – 2010, I can honestly say that I barely looked at porn. I mean there were a few times I might read a story, but it wasn’t all obsessive like when I was a teen.
Then, last night, while googling for something non-sex related, a porn site came up in the search box. It’s like I was suddenly an obsessed teenager again. I started looking around 11 p.m. and before I knew it, it was 6:15 a.m and I had been looking at pictures, videos and reading stories!!! I even considered going into some of my old chatrooms!
Mainly I like very light b & d, ravishment fantasies(damsels in distress) and costume play.
Anyhow, stayed up so late last night made me feel exhusted all day and when I got home in the afternoon, I was preparing to take a nap when I decided to just look again for 10 minutes. 10 minutes turned into FOUR HOURS. I had to force myself to turn off the computer.
What is wrong with me? Am I a porn addict? Why do I go on “binges?”
I think I am sexually satisfied. I was intimate with my girlfriend Friday night and it felt really good. We were also intimate Saturday morning.
I don’t have a compulsive urge to masterbate or to have multiple sexual partners or be a voyuer* or anything illegal. In fact, my libido is relatively low…I normally am only in the mood like 1 – 2 times a week (though I usually have sex more often because my girlfriend has a high libido. she is in the mood every day or every other day)

You have openly admitted, which none admits. It is the same case with average men. Initial fear of coitus being killed and experience with multiple woman will increase the thrust and augment the drive. If under alcohol influence is experienced, it will give boost to further gear up. It will take its own course to droop down. It is not abnormal.
