I seriously would like someone to try to explain it to me. I just don't understand. I have watched porn here and there, but the vast majority of it is actually really annoying and not realistic. What makes a person get hooked on it to a point of being unable to go without it?
Watching it sometimes is one thing, and I have friends who do, but literally being addicted to it is hard for me to grasp.

Cheaper than a female by about 6 lifetimes.
Damn lol.
It's not the porn that's addictive.
Addiction is within the mind. We're all addicted to something.
Technically that's true, but watching porn produces an autonomic response.
great entertainment
lots of fast paced action, very thrilling
Think it more a habit for vast majority of people
I suppose that's a way to look at it.
because it helps people get off and getting off feels amazing... science :P
Great point actually. I need to stop watching porn.
Any day is a good day.
The thrill of the fantasy
This is a good answer.
Because people suck, and being lonely sucks, so gotta pass the time somehow when you have a decently high sex drive
Sad.
Coping mechanism probably
Because they're just wankers
That urge fr a lady
Like anything. People can become addicted to it. The key is moderation
Here you go
If porn was actually GOOD I might see being addicted to it.
Porn use is not really an addiction, it can be problematic but not a true addiction
Same reason someone gets addicted to anything. If we like the feeling something gives us, we want to do it again. That’s the way the brain works.
It’s all a Jewish conspiracy. The porn industry was created to de-populate the white race. It’s social engineering at it’s finest.
Abortion was created by a Democrat to depopulate the black race
I think I've been addicted to it since 2008. I always jack off to it. One time I did try to go a week without it but ended up relapsing. And I think porn or what I see in movies makes me think the love of my life will look like that or Dakota Johnson
I don't think addicted is the right term. Us men get stuck in a porn cycle. We watch it not understanding that it takes away from our sexual performance. We usually watch porn because we are not getting it enough at home. That turns to getting less of it because we don't perform as well anymore and the women are less likely to initiate. That turns us back to porn and after a while we get Erectile disfunction for strictly being aroused from watching OTHER people achieve what we are wanting to achieve. Before we were aroused by having sex with a woman and now we are programmed to be aroused by masturbation instead.
People can get addicted to many things for many reasons, mainly because we get some type of pleasure from it. Being addicted to porn can come from habitual practice and can start because a plethora of reasons. The person could have a hard time connecting with the opposite sex. Boredom or easy access to that can simulate an experience or fantasy that you desire to have but dont have the opportunity. Low self-esteem. Who knows. But one thing is for sure. That if you do something enough times it becomes a habit. If the habit continues, it gets rooted deeper into that person's behavioral patterns. There is a lot of feel good chemicals that your brain secretes when you orgasm. Like, oxytocin, dopamine, etc, etc. Because sex, self-love and orgasm are very powerful sensations that you can experience, it can further reinforce this behavioral pattern and the cycle just continues. A behavior is like a seed, it starts off small and if you keep nurturing it or feeding into it, it can only keep growing from there.
