The sexual compulsion is so strong that if the urge is denied, it will have physical manifestations such as headaches, nausea or depression. The feeling of being 'high' in porn is not unlike the ones felt by those who are addicted to illegal substances.

Porn addicts have this dependence and obsession on reading, viewing or thinking about pornographic material that it reaches a point when it interferes with their normal lives.

If you feel that thoughts of sex are dominating your daily activities, if your palms literally sweat at the thought of viewing pornographic material, if your sexual fantasies are getting more and more active each day and if you would rather be alone poring over porn than spending time with your family, friends or co-workers, these are sure signs of porn addiction. Fortunately, there are a lot of avenues where you can seek treatment for porn addiction.

This includes self-help programs, group therapies and individual therapies. If you feel that you or someone close to you is on the verge of porn addiction, it is best to seek professional treatment the soonest time possible.
