Thanks for the comment CS. Don’t even start is good advice!

I heard a locally syndicated radio show here in Cleveland rip a study that recently came out about how pornography users are more likely to commit rape, have an affair, or become a pedophile than those who don’t use pornography. I know they are porn users who don’t want to face the evidence of it’s destructiveness because they like it so much. (If someone knows where I can find the study please send it to me). Truth is that you get desensitized to porn the more you watch it and it leads you into more hard-core & deviant versions. You may be the type of person who will never act out in rape or molestation, but there will be those who will. It is a fine line to cross.

Anyone who doesn’t believe the progression of pornography addiction as presented on this website is in denial. I’m a family therapist and I see this every week. It just takes some longer to complete the cycle of progression than others.
It’s like saying, “a human will not necessarily die” and using the rationality that there are people who are 100 years old who haven’t died. Oh, they’ll die alright, it just hasn’t happened yet.

Don’t take the chance by even starting viewing porn.

True – it is not a given that our progression will follow the path I outlined. It gets easier as you get further into porn and progressively bad stuff. I read a post just today from quitpornaddiction that was from a reader who detailed how he has become so numb from such depraved material that he can’t believe it. He feels like a zombie.

I don’t think it is a given that people will progress further into porn. It is very likely, but not inevitable. Are you then saying that those who progress into more extreme forms of porn have greater pain to medicate? I would say that users get lost in the porn world. They get into this world where there seem to be no rules and anything goes. It goes along with our rebelious nature and the things we once considered wrong or disgusting now are palatable. Once we start knocking down the rules/morals one by one, the next stage seems easier to justify and enter into. We all won’t enter that next stage, but it is possible.

Hello,

YES! I agree with you in some ways that for many people the use pornography leaves them in danger (vulnerable to) a progressing into stronger or more extreme forms of adult content. However, were I totally disagree is that such a progression is NOT inevitable, its not a foregone conclusion. Its not a given that a person who uses porn will always end up using more & more extreme material. Why? because the kind of material that a person uses (consumes or views) is related to the amount of mascochism present inside that person. And further more it also relates to the degree of underlying pain that person is attempting to numb out by using porn in the first place. Everyone is different and therefore the use of porn will be invidual but its true that common patterns or trends do exsist if you examine the research.
