When do you know you're a porn addict?

[ponyfitness]

I just realized that when I get up in the morning one of the first things I do is check my hacked porn sites to see any new content. This is of course while I'm eating breakfast. Sometimes I tell myself I need to stop but then don't. I probably look at it every day but basically because I'm bored.

when you have to look at it all the time. When you hide it from people.
when you cannot go on the comp with out having to look at some type of porn.

Being "bored" is a comman excuse for addicts!

When you have like 70 gigs of it on your computer and are considering buying a 300-400 gig HD so you dont have to delete stuff anymore

"Hypersexual Disorder and Preoccupation With Internet Pornography": http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/158/10/1590
This is a short, not technical view that details a bit about problematic hypersexual pornography use and some examples are mentioned.

From the above reference: "Fairly recent studies have suggested that "pathological sexuality" is far from uncommon and can be associated with considerable morbidity (3, 17). The disorder appears more common in men, and patients may be seen with a range of different behaviors, including compulsive masturbation, excessive use of printed or telephonic pornography, and pathological use of the services of sex workers. As with impulse-control disorders, although the symptoms are gratifying, there is also typically an element of ego dystonicity. Comorbid diagnoses include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders. Symptoms may severely affect family, social, and occupational function, and negative consequences include those of sexually transmitted disease. There is clearly a need for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of such patients."

If you can also identify with any of those, then you may have a problem...
