Addictions can happen to anyone and everyone, whether it be, video games addiction, food addiction, computer addiction, music addiction etc etc. They can be stopped by your power of will and mental strength.

I am a teenager/student and have just stared to realise how bad and wrong pornography is and am in the process of giving it up for good.
When I started I thought it was a harmless thing that everyone does, until it started to affect my life and the way I look at things around me.

Whenever I used the computer looking at porn came almost automatic, like a fix to escape things for a minute, I dont feel comfortable admitting to it, but I want to live a happy healthy physically and mentally normal life. If everyone can help each other out we can all beat porn addiction.

It got to the stage where more or less my penis took control of me, always wanting more and more, anything for a next fix and that was scary, but now I'm in control. Although my hormones arent giving up without a fight, my penis erects frequently trying to get me to look at porn or masturbate. Masturbating isnt a bad thing but I think using it for the wrong reasons is, its hard to explain. Like what you think of while you masturbate, if it's raping someone then thats bad and you need help umm if it's having sex with someone you know thats fine and normal at least I think it is, I'm no expert.

So please, if you read this give me some advice to help myself get better.
