    What are some of the excuses you guys have used to continue a porn addiction? Together, we can look over them to identify our own problems and have a fresh and objective look at them.

    Mine were:

    -I never watched porn on my phone. It was always in the privacy of my bedroom, on my computer. My excuse was that showed containment.

    -I never paid for porn. I can't be an addict because hey, I'm not spending real money on fake sex.

    -I never posted pictures or videos of myself, sexted, or gave out my number. I used burner emails for all my porn site accounts. I made burner Skype and Yahoo messenger accounts,and only used the web apps. Somehow, I thought if I kept it in incognito mode, it was sectioned off from my regular life.

    -I stopped downloading porn and only streamed it (see above).

    -I might have looked at some sick shit, but it was all legal. Nothing to do with minors, noncon (rape), dubcon (dubious or impaired consent)- even fantasies- or animals. I reported suspected CP or models that looked too young- as if that made me morally better somehow.

    I would google articles and read that it was “normal” to do what I was doing but in fact, it’s not when it messes with your life. I don’t think I realized how much PMO has affected my life until I found these forums. I guess I was in denial, just like with any addiction. Ultimately, we have all started the first a crucial step, admitting we have a problem.

    In addition to these, I'd ask my friends and post online to seek validation. Not HELP.

    "Just a picture."
    "Just a video, that's not even hardcore porn."

    Yeah, right.:confused:

    My husband's justifications:
    - I don't pay for it
    -I don't watch videos so it is ok
    -I don't actually type in the web addresses, just do searches then click on the website
    -I do it when my wife is angry at me so it is ok
    -I can stop
    -It isn't always porn. Clothed photos too so that makes it ok
    -I don't always O
    -All guys do it

  10. Mine were :
    - "It's not addiction if it's done once a month."
    - "I could be doing a lot of worse things but I'm only PMO'ing."
    - Some sort of reward for successful achievements in real life.
    - "I can't be fixed so I might aswell just PMO anyway."
    - Tries to create existential philosophy and metaphysics that justify porn.
