What You Should Know About Counseling Porn Addiction

By Richard Hayes


The urge to stare at naked men and women having sexual intercourse often starts gradually. Before you know it, the person who only had the intention of looking at it just once becomes eager to have another look, and that is how the addiction starts. Pornography has taken a different shape since it became available on several websites. The worst is that almost everyone can give detailed accounts of what most sex clips look like.

But the actual problem is not having the knowledge--it is staying away from it the moment one realizes its depraving ability. Often times, after each act, there is a resolution to quit the act only for the victim to find himself or herself craving for another opportunity. Such people need counseling porn addiction in Colorado Springs CO in order to know some useful methods which they can apply to be free from the act.

To make it impossible to view pornographic videos, you will have to learn the techniques involved in putting away your smart phones or computers when the urge comes. You can learn this during some of your counseling sessions. Just make sure you are honest with yourself and do the best you know you can at each point.

Telling a friend that you watch porn is not very easy, but this is one of the surest ways to avoid it. Of course, that friend of yours must not be a fan of sex videos so that you can look up to him or her as a model. Apart from that, let it be someone who really loves you and one who is not going to expose your weakness before others. He or she just has to be a true friend, and if possible, one who has won the battle of pornography addiction.

You may also try the services of porn blockers for your device. Although some free ones are available for the Android devices, it will pay more to subscribe to the paid software as they are often more effective. Assume that blocking every entry point of porn in your life could make you the next superstar and you will find it a lot easier.

Also, find out if there are new hobbies you can learn. The trick is to start practicing that new skill the moment the urge to watch sex clips comes to your mind. Things, like skipping the rope, joining others in a discussion, playing football or visiting the gym, can help in no small measure.

Try as much as possible not to be alone. Spend time with friends and take a walk to expose your mind to something new and more rewarding. If you have no place to go to, make your room a mini friendship center by inviting your pals to chat with you. You can make this a regular act if your friends are also happy to visit you frequently.

It is easier to forbid a thing when you know how bad it is. Try to meditate on the dangers of watching pornography so as to develop an intense hatred for it. Of course, watching pornography is bad for several reasons such as its ability to harm the brain, lower sex drives with the opposite sex and invitation of strange spirits.
