The Unseen Struggle
Pornography addiction is a growing concern that affects individuals across various age groups, particularly men and youth. It is characterized by compulsive engagement with pornographic material despite negative consequences. Rob Weiss, a leading expert in the field of sexual addiction, suggests, "Pornography addiction often flies under the radar because it is a private behavior that can be easily hidden from loved ones."
Recognizing the Signs
Identifying the signs of pornography addiction is crucial for early intervention. These signs include:
- Spending increasing amounts of time viewing pornography, often at the expense of personal and professional responsibilities.
- Repeated attempts to stop or reduce pornography use without success.
- Feeling irritable or restless when unable to access pornographic material.
- Continuing to consume pornography despite negative consequences, such as relationship issues or declining mental health.

Seeking professional counseling is a critical step towards recovery. Counseling with SABR at Family Strategies Counseling Center, serving people in Scottsdale and Mesa, Arizona, offers a comprehensive approach to overcoming pornography addiction.
