Despite drug and alcohol seemingly being the most popular, if not only addiction, there are several other addictions that people around the world suffer from each and every day. One of these other, less commonly talked about addictions is porn addiction. An addiction to pornography is not only harmful to your mind, but it could even be harmful to those around you. Specifically, this is an addiction that could shake the core of your relationship and could even ruin a marriage.
The public tries to shed light on pornography in a normal way, trying to convince people that everyone watches it, that you are not doing anything wrong and you are not harming anyone. But even though it is typically something done in secret, it still has consequences. Pornography impacts the dopamine and reward system in your brain just as any other substance would – drugs, alcohol, and even food. Pornography can be one of the easiest addictions to hide, which also makes it a dangerous addiction. While watching pornography one time might not make you an addict, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms found in this infographic, you might have developed an addiction.
