Fighting Porn Addiction – Refocusing Sexual Energy

Fighting porn addiction can seem like a battle with your own libido especially if you have been masturbating to online pornography for a long time for a number of reasons:

Anything done for a long time becomes a habit that can be so ingrained into your lifestyle it is hard to shake.
You have trained your body to expect sexual reward and the lack of such a reward becomes like a physical craving.
Ease of access means that relief to your frustrations and cravings is so easy to satisfy many continue to give in and do not gain addiction recovery.
Help is hard to come by because the subject is so taboo with most people making this a very lonely addiction.

So what can you do to fight porn addiction and come out on top and in control of your life and sexuality?

One such method that may help is to find a way to refocus your sexual energy. It is too easy to simply say i will do something else when i feel the need to pop online to view pornography but it is a part of the puzzle. The real results come from changing your mental addiction triggers to be positive rather than negative (being excessive porn and masturbation). When you discover what triggers your episodes online find something you can do to take your mind off it and stick to that, write it down and make it a new habit. It could be that you are depressed or sad which would require something targeting that particular trigger. It may be that you have sexually frustrating relationship issues which would require an approach aimed at solving that problem. One of the biggest problems though is boredom for many people and when online it is such an easy way to spend time despite the problems with sexuality that porn is known to cause .. if this is the case the best way to start changing this is to find a non-computer based alternative to relieve boredom because any association with the PC and the internet can easily lead down the path of addiction again.

Breaking Porn Addiction – How to Kick Your Addiction

Porn addiction has become a modern affliction that is by and large hidden to mainstream media and general discussion on the subject. It is considered embarrassing and is largely anonymous so it goes unheeded and undocumented and more and more people fall into its trap as the web and the adult entertainment industry become more prolific on the net and access become easier and easier especially for young people who are more susceptible to such things. Breaking porn addiction can be done however and it can be done by anyone willing to try, as they say admitting you have a problem is the first step … if this is you then read on.

As has been mentioned the ease of access to pornography on the web fuels your addiction but it is not the cause of it. The actual causes can be many and varied from person to person ranging from a feeling of sexual hopelessness where sexual gratification online is easier than trying to deal with it in real life to a full blown sex addiction where too much seems never enough and you spend hours upon hours browsing porn finding new and exciting … and completely unrealistic sex acts. Not only does this take your time but it can warp your mind to what real sex actually is which can destroy your relationships and make it harder to actually interact with people especially those of the other gender.

The second step I advise is to change your outlook on what porn is, while it may have started as titillation and a small escape it has become something much more, if you can change your mindset about what porn is and what it does for you the urge to surf for porn becomes less and less desirable. This is not easy and is an ongoing thing through your self treatment but you must always be aware that you are trying to think in a different way and that you have become in a way brainwashed by the porn industry and it needs to change.

Breaking porn addiction involves a lot more than just this and needs to be looked at in the context of your own life and your own experiences making it difficult to say there is one cure, but if you consider yourself to be addicted and you can see the damage this can do then you are half way there to becoming sexually healthy once again.


How to Stop Porn Addiction

Step one: Do you admit you have a problem? Do you realize just how much damage porn addiction can do to your life and your relationships? Do you really want to know how to stop porn addiction? OR are you just hoping there is an easy one click cure?

If you are looking for a quick fix then the same problems that cause your porn addiction are still active within you and you will not get far. The ease of access to porn and instant gratification are what pulls most people into the world of porn addiction and since there is no one click cure those same instant gratification people stay mired in their problems and never choose the harder but more fulfilling and better path.

What does this mean? It means that any addiction is a major problem and any addiction requires you to be committed to solving it. To do this you must believe whole heartedly in the benefits of being cured of your addiction and you must be aware of what damage it is doing. Most importantly though you must understand and be aware of what actually originally caused you to begin your addiction.

While the instant gratification I mentioned is what makes it easy for you to become addicted the reason why you needed to seek such things out again and again is a whole different story and may be as varied as the bizarre sex acts you find in the adult entertainment industry!

Step two: Think back to when you started, and the reasons behind it, simple titillation maybe? Sure that can certainly be a reason but was there anything more? A frustration or a problem? Think back to when you started to be addicted but may not have know it, think back to when it started becoming a problem, the reasons were probably much different but linked none the less. As much as men are ruled by their hormones if you put aside simple horniness there is a deeper issue if you cannot overcome your base instincts when they cause damage to your life.

How to stop porn addiction lies with and understanding and acceptance of the reasons you started watching so much porn not where you are right now and requires a great deal of introspection and insight into your own soul and motives. Low self esteem is one of the most common aspects of porn addiction but the reasons surrounding this problem vary greatly from person to person so a personalized approach to a cure is needed.


Punished For Porn

What’s in your email? An Irish company launches first solution to scan email for pornography

Companies may be inadvertently backing up paedophile images

At next week’s Inbox/Outbox Exhibition in London, The Irish company will unveil the world’s first tool that allows organisations to scan email files (.pst) and zip files to detect any inappropriate or illegal images. The new version 3.1 of The Irish company Auditor identifies pornographic images in emails and other files distributed, stored or archived across an entire enterprise.

”As most financial organisations now archive email communications to comply with new Corporate Governance legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley, it is possible that they are inadvertently backing up and duplicating paedophile images,” said Andy Churley, VP Marketing at The Irish company. “By eliminating illicit images in the workplace and identifying the people responsible, The Irish company Auditor helps organisations and individual managers or directors to avoid corporate or personal litigation.”

A recent survey conducted by The Irish company and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, CIPD, revealed that over 70% of UK companies have already had to take disciplinary action as a result of employees viewing pornographic images on their company computers. An Audit Commission report published this month also reported a huge increase in the viewing of computer pornography by public sector workers and called for better protection and controls.

But while many organisations use simple web filtering to prevent access to pornographic web sites, The Irish company® offers the only solutions that identify, eliminate and prevent unwanted images that get on to desktops or networks via any point of entry including email, memory sticks, laptops, digital cameras, scanners, CDs/DVDs, Wi-Fi or 3G phones.
Manual auditing can take months, but with The Irish company Auditor’s high-speed image analysis software, it can take less than a week for a large organisation to detect inappropriate or illegal content stored on all PCs, servers and removable media.

A demo is available at www.The Irish company.com. The Irish company also provides urgent incident triage, a risk assessment service, a managed audit service, Acceptable Computer Usage Policy review and enforcement as well as auditing and real-time monitoring software.

”The rapid increase in digital devices along with email and multimedia messaging has made the problem of managing inappropriate and illegal images in the workplace a major challenge for IT and HR managers,” said John Nolan. “The reality is that most companies do not know the level of risk they face and may be inadvertently breaking the law by storing and backing up child pornography. The Irish company is the only solution that provides a quick way to eliminate and prevent illicit material getting on the network from any source.”

Punished For Porn: UK companies have higher rate of disciplinary action compared to US when it comes to illicit images
40% of the largest 500 US firms have disciplined employees for Internet abuse compared with 70% percent in the UK
25% of US managers and 54% of UK managers are unaware of legal responsibilities

Independent research firm Delta Consulting as released the results of the 2005 Computer Usage Policy Study of the 500 largest US firms, sponsored by The Irish company. This follows a recent UK survey conducted by The Irish company in the UK with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and highlights that pornography in the workplace is a common problem. But there are striking differences in the levels of disciplinary action and awareness of legislation with respect to inappropriate or illegal images in the workplace.

Among the major findings is that 40% of US firms have disciplined staff over image abuse in the workplace over the past 12 months. In the UK survey, the figure was over 70%. Of those US firms that pursued an investigation into inappropriate content, some 44 percent resulted in the employee’s removal from the company and 41 percent took other disciplinary action.

And while 1 in 4 of US managers lack awareness of legislation linked to porn prevention in the workplace, this compares to a figure of over 1 in 2 in the UK. Almost half of US respondents (46 percent) weren’t fully aware that attorneys first look for evidence in sexual harassment, workplace harassment and hostile work environment claims in a company’s records of Internet use, e-mail traffic and images on the hard drive. And 76 percent weren’t fully aware that the distribution and consumption of child porn is one of the FBI’s top three investigative priorities for the next two years.

US respondents perceived the highest threats would emanate from the Internet and email and attachments followed by other threats such as embedded and zipped files, WiFi networks, cellular phone cameras, non-enterprise controlled networks, memory sticks, encrypted files, DVDs and CDs. Yet despite this, only 32% of UK companies and 43% of US companies claimed to have installed image detection technology that would help to block porn from these multiple-sources.

”We were not surprised to see that almost all leading organisations surveyed have a computer usage policy in place,” said Alain Recaborde, principal of Delta Consulting. “But given the high percentage of organisations that detect porn banned by their policies, we were alarmed to find the relatively low awareness of the risk of legal ramifications and potential exposure among those responsible for the company’s Acceptable Computer Usage policy.”

”It is clear that the problem of illegal and inappropriate content in the workplace is a global one,” said Andy Churley, vice president marketing, The Irish company. “What is less clear from the results is whether UK organisations are more proactive in image monitoring and dealing with cases or whether workplace porn is simply more prevalent in the UK. What is evident is the need for more awareness of the legal and productivity ramifications of image abuse in the workplace. There needs to be better use of workplace monitoring and audit technology that provides companies and employees with protection from illicit images from multiple sources. And it is only by providing a desktop security solution for illicit image blocking that it is possible to stop porn at work and foster a better working environment”

Need Help With Porn Addiction?

If you suffer from porn addiction or know someone who does you may understand that like all behavioral addictions like gambling addictions and so on they are not so easy to break by just sheer willpower. Not to dismiss willpower as an important aspect of recovery but help with porn addiction needs to start at the root causes of the issues that have leads the person in question to such an unhealthy habit.

While practical steps such as deleting all the porn from your computer and unsubscribing to any porn sites you may belong to may help, this is just like someone trying to quit smoking throwing away a packed of cigarettes to stop them smoking. It is not a bad idea but it does not stop them going out and buying another pack in a moment of weakness just as a porn addict can always find more porn. Again I do not want to dismiss practical measures and those that really to want to kick their addiction to pornography online and other wise should defiantly get rid of any easy access to their chosen obsession to help them and their willpower to overcome their problems.

However the real thing a person must do to be free of any addiction is to understand their root cause of the addiction and then take steps to solve that problem. Just pruning a tree does not kill it and it will grow back, you must uproot it completely and that is exactly what an addict must do with his addiction; uproot it.

Typically most commentators on pornography addiction lay the blame at low self esteem which drives men to seek easy sexual gratification online especially. This however may not be the only cause though it is prominent; other causes have been a warped image of women and sex from an early age driving them to porn because it fits their image of sex more than real life. Some considered better adjusted men have become addicted because they believed their sex life was boring and used porn as an outlet for more exciting and titillating adult entertainment but spiraled into addiction because of it. In the end even the most common cause being low self esteem has a multitude of reasons for each person so there can be no cookie cutter solution. Instead a more personalized approach must be taken to curing this addiction.

Knowing is half the battle the old adage says and it is very true, knowing the cause intimately allows someone who is willing to tackle this problem the ammunition to fight it honestly without self deception or a warped view that may hinder their attempts. While therapy is often used you can also do this yourself with the right mindset of introspection and self analysis. To be armed with information about addiction in general and the unreality of porn is also an asset one must take into battle against their addiction.

If you require more help with porn addiction you may need to seek professional advice that cannot be said within the confines of an article but I hope that this has shed some light on their condition and has given you a head start to finding a cure and leading a better life.
