Chasing online porn may be easier than social interactions. If one feels isolated already, it’s harder to get out into the world and foster real world relationships.
Short-term relationships and one-night stands are easier for sex addicts than opening up from their isolation.
The modern world is full of triggers. Technology makes sex more accessible. It takes work to recover from sex addiction, but it is possible.
If you think you may be a sex addict, visit a sex and love addiction anonymous website and take a quiz about your behavior. Examine your own behavior and see how you use porn and sex in your life. Consider visiting a therapist as needed. Weave together the treatment that works best for you.
