57: The 4 Root Causes of Porn Addiction

Do you find yourself constantly asking, “Why do I struggle
with porn addiction?” Or, ”Why is my spouse / child addicted to
porn?” 


There are a lot of messages out there that will tell you porn
addiction is about sexual urges. It’s about having a high libido.
It’s about a desire for sex that isn’t being fulfilled. If a man
wants porn then it’s his spouse’s responsibility to make sure
he’s satisfied, and if he’s satisfied then he won’t want
porn. 


I have news for you. That’s a bunch of BS.

While natural sexual feelings do play a role in the desire for
porn, porn addiction is not about
sexual urges. It’s not about high libido. And it sure as
heck isn’t about an addict’s spouse not “delivering the
goods.”


And I know that’s hard to hear, and the human brain and
biology can be VERY convincing. It will tell you that you crave
porn because you want sex and if you can juuuust get that craving
filled in just the right way then you won’t want porn
anymore. 


Let me tell you something else. A vast majority of the people
I work with are married… 


And let me tell you something else, else. If I had a dime for
every time someone has said “I just thought once I got married
that all this would go away. I thought once I got married, I
wouldn’t need porn anymore.” And that’s not how it
works. 


Why? 


Today we’re going to talk about what actually
causes porn addiction. Specifically we’ll talk about the 4
root causes of porn addiction. Why we develop a porn addiction,
what keeps us hooked, and how to overcome porn
addiction.
