Hi all hope you are well and are on the path to being your best self. Your true core self.
I was wondering how many people truly consider themselves Porn Addicts rather than a Sex Addict.
Personally for me Porn was always a huge aspect of my struggles but so was sex chatting which started at around the same time on the old AOL chat rooms. This led into chatting with men in this manner as it seemed easier to find guys to chat to this way. In fact it gave me a bigger thrill but I now understand why. This was something that I have committed through out every relationship I have ever had. It was a compulsion like viewing the porn.
This sexual compulsion also led me down the path to sex workers...This also linked to my porn taste at the time....Or maybe my porn taste altered due to this avenue.
This led me down places and situations I would never consent to in my right recovery mind. Especially when my ED was "getting in the way" of my use of workers so I moved onto Trans....
This is part of my story and though I do acknowledge that Porn is a huge bane in my existence I identify as a Sex Addict rather than a porn addict.
Anyone else consider themselves the same?
