Given your search for help on how to stop watching porn, it’s safe to assume that you’ve developed an uncontrollable compulsion for consuming sexually explicit content. The signs and symptoms are all there. You constantly obsess over it, and are so eager to get back to your smartphone or computer screen that you have a hard time concentrating on anything else. Your work suffers, your social life suffers, and your relationships with loved ones suffer.
While you may feel isolated and alone, it’s important to understand that you’re not. We’re not referring to the 9 percent of porn consumers who are unable to stop watching on their own, and that 11% of men and 3% of women self-report that they are addicted to pornography. Instead, we’re referring to the fact that you have support from America’s preeminent provider of treatment for hyper-sexuality disorders; Kindbridge Behavioral Health. You can reach out right away (click here) or read ahead first for our step-by-step guide for how to overcome pornography.
5 Powerful Steps to Stop Watching Porn so Often and Overcome the Hold Pornography Has on Your Life
Step 1: Take a Quiz for Porn Addiction
There’s nuance involved in the online search for “how to stop watching porn”. In many cases the query is motivated by a recognition that an individual may exhibit symptoms of an unhealthy compulsion. However, in other cases symptoms may not exist, and instead an individual is being pressured by someone to stop using porn due to their belief system. Spouses, a companion, close friend, family member, or member of the clergy may have projected their own moral stance against sexually explicit materials. Those passing judgement may not understand that millions of Americans are able to use porn in a responsible manner that may even promote healthy sexual experiences with oneself and/or one’s partner/s.
Let’s find out where you stand. Kindbridge has provided a brief 5-minute quiz to identify whether or not you may have a compulsion for consuming porn. Click the button below to get started:
Step 2: Get a Professional Assessment for Porn Addiction
Did the quiz unveil that you have a problematic relationship with pornography? If so, or it seems clear based on your own internal evaluation of your behavior, the next step is to get a professional assessment. An assessment and potential diagnosis of cooccurring (with porn addiction) disorders will help the Kindbridge team construct a multidisciplinary strategy for attaining optimal behavioral wellness.
