How might you be affected by pornography?

Physical Symptoms

By compulsive viewing of porn and compulsive masturbating you may find you are suffering with sexual dysfunctions such as Erectile Dysfunction and premature ejaculation.  It may be you are unable to maintain an erection without viewing porn. You may have previously attributed this to other reasons such as getting older or performance anxiety for example.

Impact on Relationships

You may find your interest in sex with your partner may have declined and does not hold the same appeal as what you having been watching. This is what makes pornography addiction so troubling, as reward from a close and intimate relationship distressingly just can’t compete. For some, sexual acting out escalates to cybersex, visiting sex workers or hook-ups.

Impact on your Psychological Wellbeing

You may notice you are feeling depressed, lethargic and lacking motivation. You may have become withdrawn and socially anxious or avoidant. So instead of feeling connected and supported, you are left with a sense of shame and alienation. If you have been using porn excessively since puberty you may not make the connection between this and symptoms of anxiety and low mood.
