64: The 17 Porn Addiction Symptoms that Porn Addicts and Spouses Should Know

Do you or your spouse struggle with a porn addiction? Or do you
suspect that you or your spouse may be struggling with one?
Today, I’m going to share 17 porn addiction symptoms that porn
addicts and spouses should know. 

I’ve been working in the addiction community for years, and I
have seen recurring patterns and themes among clients and friends
who are trying to quit porn. I’ve also been through my own porn
addiction recovery journey. In this article, I pull upon both my
professional experience helping others stop porn addiction and my
personal experience overcoming porn addiction. 


Let me start by saying I believe porn addiction symptoms are far
deeper and broader than many of us might think. I’m not just here
to talk about the behavior of watching porn. That’s just a tiny
part of the whole picture. 


When we struggle with porn addiction, there are a plethora of
symptoms - psychologically, behaviorally, relationally,
physically, and spiritually. It impacts every part of our lives.


If you’re the spouse of someone with a porn addiction, I’m hoping
that today's topic can fill you with compassion and understanding
for them. And if you listen up and take notes, I believe that
this new knowledge will empower you with a deeper and broader
perspective of pornography addiction, so that you can better help
your loved one.


Symptoms: Correlation vs. Causation


As a quick caveat, these 17 porn addiction signs do not prove
that someone has a porn addiction, nor is porn addiction the sole
cause of many of these symptoms. Rather, porn addiction can
initiate, increase or exacerbate many of these symptoms, but
there are always other factors that play a role in their
development.
