P**N Addiction

Hi everyone, I am writing this post and exposing my vulnerability with an issue I have had for about 14 years. I am 24 years old now and I was exposed to pornography around age 8-10, I can’t exactly remember. I was shown pornography by my step brother who sexually abused me from age 6-12. Now as an adult male who is in a committed relationship, I struggle with a pornography addiction. Whether it be on websites, Snapchat, twitter, Reddit, Instagram, I struggle with consuming pornography and adult material. I also have severe OCD that has been clinically diagnosed. Does anyone have any experience with pornography addiction they would be willing to discuss? Does anyone have any sexting addiction? I have noticed how this shame and guilt I feel has come into my fiancé and I’s relationship. She is aware and we have communicated on how we are going to work through it. Are there any apps to help with sex/porn addiction? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have an amazing community here and we shouldn’t be ashamed to seek help.

Covenant Eyes helps, but you have to pay for it.

@Shayne Krauch Thank you! I will research these two options and see which one will work best for me. Is it normal for this addiction to also make intrusive OCD thoughts and urges worse as well?

@Cale L. Absolutely. OCD will latch onto any and everything!

@Shayne Krauch I struggle with the same thing, you need a strong why. For you I would say it’s probably your fiance. Think about her anytime you have the urge to look at porn and remember your why! You can do this!

@Shayne Krauch See this is what this app is all about. Thank you Shayne for your encouraging words and your confidence. Sometimes we just need accountability.

Oh and I’m very sorry to hear about the sexual abuse you experienced. That’s awful and I hope you have managed to find some kind of peace with it

Intentional intrusive thoughts during pleasure and masterbation

Hey guys today I just wanted to come here and share an experience I have and I generally don't know what to do I feel like a terrible person for having these thoughts and for thinking them I genuinely don't know what to do I don't know the signs behind it and why I think the way I do but it's honestly driving me crazy I don't know what to do I have a pornography addiction for a long time it's where it's like anytime I'm an intimate moment or am masturbating my head just thinks these weird things always the same repetitive thoughts to of family members your younger sibling or a young child I myself am a 17 year old and I feel so disgusted I feel like I can't live my life anymore I feel like I'm a criminal cuz like it feels like I chose this these thoughts like I actively think them I don't know the signs behind it and I just really need professional help if there's any like therapist here that could fill me in that would be nice I would also like to know if you guys had any similar experiences because for me I feel like I have to rewatch pornography and do it right without the thoughts cuz I feel like the thoughts are just like to prevalent anytime I do anything related to masturbation why do I think this way I'm also just trying to be as honest as I can with this I'm not trying to make myself I guess a victim I'm trying to hold myself accountable if I actually am like this because I also have doubts in my head that tells me that I enjoy these things I feel like I'm going crazy someone help because it feels so real like I acted on them or that I was pleasuring myself to the thoughts and not towards the video it's just how can I live with myself you know also during it it felt like I was thinking the thought for a long period of time like it was dominating my head so I couldn't focus it felt l
