Are you looking for help with pornography addiction but don't know where to start? If you have found this article help with your pornography addiction might be closer than you think.
The first step is trying to figure out why you are attracted to porn and if it is really to porn itself that you are attracted.
Pornography addiction is a bit different than any other addictions because it's the only addiction that requires the "sex addict" to perform a sexual act with himself alone. As a matter of fact the real attraction behind the porn videos or magazines for many addicts is masturbation.
The driving force behind the addiction to pornography
Masturbation is the real driving force for watching porn. Some people will try to find the perfect porn movie or video that will drive them to masturbation. Some time they may watch 2 whole hours of porn but, will keep on watching until they find that perfect scene that will make them masturbate. Once they are finished masturbating, they are usually done with the pornographic images until next time.
This fact leads to believe that if the masturbation problem was solved the pornography addiction will be gone as well, since pornography is just the tool used by the addicted person.

As illustrated above, it is more than likely that the root of your problem is more about the masturbation problem than it is with pornography itself. Take the masturbation addiction away and you will take the pornography addiction away with it.
The question is where do your masturbation issues are coming from and, how to get rid of them?
