Addicted to porn


I’m 14, and I’ve been looking at porn. I’m really not that kind of person, and I want to stop. But it has gotten kind of addicting in a way. 
 
Dear Porned,
Many teens, especially guys, find themselves intrigued by such material. Your curiosity is normal, but one problem with pornography is that it’s so degrading to women. Respectable women don’t look or act like that. Looking at porn can indeed become addicting, but give yourself some credit: You’ve been able to stop for weeks at a time. Get yourself to sign off, and make plans with friends instead. You might even consider saying to your mom, “I stumbled onto a really gross site, and it’s OK with me if you want to block that stuff.” She’d probably be glad to change the parental controls or move the computer to a common area, no questions asked.

Not to make excuses but I think because of our age and the changes our bodies are going through many of us get hooked or used to watching it because we are curious and then find it interesting. Honestly I think there should be more resources to help girls stop if they want to because it can be addicting.

At sleepovers we always had one girl would suggest looking at it and then you find yourself watching it in private. Plus a lot of the times we would watch Gay porn with just men and truthfully, even though my friends didnt think so, just like the article says I thought it was degrading to men because of what they were doing.

I don't know why everyone is trying to quite of ashamed of doing it. I do it all the time and I have for a while. I don't have bad dreams, I don't hate myself, I'm not ashamed. If it makes you feel good and doesn't hurt you then why stop? Guys do it all the time and why should they get to have all the fun? I like to enjoy myself and porn is a way of enjoying myself.
