How Do You Go About Helping Someone Who Has an Addiction to Pornography?
Question by indigonipple: How do you go about helping someone who has an addiction to pornography?
I recently discovered that my boyfriend of 1 year is addicted to pornography. We’re both 24. I knew he looked at it but, I didn’t know it was this bad. He doesn’t even tell me when he looks so I know he is ashamed. He was molested as a child so it might have something to do with it. I found out when I used his computer. The history window was open when I logged onto the internet and he had been to literally hundreds of different porn sites over the last few weeks. I don’t think looking at porn is bad but, he is obviously out of control. We have watched porn a few times together before but when I suggested we should look at it together he thought that was weird. Tonight he told me he was too tired to have sex and sent me home. As soon as I left, he shut off all the lights and I saw the computer turn on. I didn’t accuse him of it but he got mad when I called and asked him what he was doing. We love each other and I want to help. Any ideas how I can make him realize this isn’t healthy?

I’m thinking that there is a deeper problem than the porn. Like anything else that is abused, you have to address the deeper problem.
If he was abused as a kid then that definitely needs professional attention, certainly before marriage and family. He’ll be much happier when he gets that treated.
Finally, I suspect that he’s struggling w/ all sorts of sexual identity issues… just a hunch, but based on your descriptions I’m sticking w/ that hunch.
