Which one of these Porn Addiction is Hard to Quit ?

If your hooked any or all , peeking leads to a fall, once we fall how hard will it be to get back up? A question to ask before not after fall, many benefits of quitting , like not feeling guilty , freedom of time, like ourselves better, list goes on

 

While you could certainly argue, that certain types of porn (both in terms of content and form of presentation) present a greater risk than others when it comes to developing an addiction to it, I'm unsure if such a distinction makes sense anymore once the addiction is already present. By that I mean, that addiction is one condition and it doesn't really matter what the addiction is to. Of course all addictions - not only porn addiction - are not 100% identical but I would argue the underlying mechanism are so similiar, that it is reasonable to speak of addiction as one condition, which can be directed at different things. And based on this assumption, I think it doesn't make much sense to categorize one type of porn as "easier" or "harder" to quit than any other. Porn is porn and an addiction is an addiction.

But if I had to give a ranking, I would base it on two factors probably:
1. How many dopamin-inducing factors are present (e.g. shock & surprise, novelty, constant context switching, etc.).
2. How closely does the type of porn mimic real life?

Based on these two criteria, I would probably rank VR and the like at the top and literature/audio more towards the bottom. So, pretty much the ranking you provided in your initial post. But again, I don't think it's helpful to make such a distinction. A person struggling with erotic literature can certainly face equally serious challenges quitting as a person, who is addicted to video content.

 

For me Live 2D porn (i.e. cam sites) was the toughest porn to quit. The interaction with a live girl would fool me into thinking there was a connection between us. There was one cam site girl who after I would start an exclusive one on one session with her (which costs more money) would talk about how much she loved me and how she wanted to move to the USA so we could be together. My rational brain knew she was working me for the money, but I say the head on my shoulders was not the one in control at the time. Once I realized how much I was spending, approximately $5000 per year for 2 years, it was the wake up call i needed. Happy to say just knowing that dollar amount was enough for me to kick the cam site addiction.

 

Your thinking is completely backwards. Once you make the decision to stop masturbating, then there is no need for any type of porn whatsoever. The damage done is not from the porn, its from what you do while you watch it.

 

I can't speak on all of them because I have not tried all of them. But from my experience the one that creates the most highest and the most fasted rush of arousal is the most hardest to quit. And I think we humans are mainly visual creatures, that's the most intense sense for us, followed by auditory sense, followed by touch, followed by smell and/or taste. And then if you count mind as a 6th sense, that would be the least intense. So therefore moving images in combination with sound will stimulate you the most, and erotic literature would stimulate you the least. That being said, I am addicted to all of it; if video porn is not available I will take audio, if that is not available I will take written porn, etc. And it's not like I have ever managed to quit one type of porn at a time, if I consume one type then it always leads to other types, but when I quit then I quit all of it—porn is porn to me.

All though I disagree that sex with prostitutes would be classified as porn. By definition pornography is a sexual activity that you observe, not something you yourself participate in. So looking at performances at a strip club would be porn, but sex with prostitutes would not be. That's not to say that sex with prostitutes can't have the same addictive and mentally damaging effects as porn, plenty of threads here talking about it, but I think it would be more appropriately classified as a sex addiction not a porn addiction. I think porn addiction can sometimes lead to somebody engaging in the use of prostitutes though, when otherwise they might not have, they're so desensitized that they are looking for that next hit.

 

I see what you mean now. And I do agree that porn actresses are essentially just prostitutes; my definition of a prostitute is somebody who does sex for the money, and of course porn actresses do just that, but somehow when it's filmed it no more prostitution—weird, makes no sense—of course it is! But you seem to add the element of fantasy to the definition of prostitution, which I personally don't, so let me ask you a question then: would you say the fantasy is the only element that defines prostitution? For example, would you say that having a sex with one's wife, if sex is not done for the intimate connection but just for fun, as couples often tend to do, and your wife dresses up and pretends to be somebody, to satisfy your fantasy, would that also be porn? A wife is not a prostitute by my definition, because there is no direct exchange of money for sex. But yet a wife will also do all the stuff from your wildest dreams, just not for the money but because she wants to satisfy you. But in the end of a day it's still the same fantasy as with a prostitute, so wouldn't by your logic the role play sex with one's wife will also be porn, because it's fantasy? Just slightly confused by your definition.

 

Anything done with your spouse, whether you role play, act out fantasies etc is never porn. You're adding excitement to already deep connection.
I agree with the pornstar definition & I would include Tik Tok & Twitter girls who also have OnlyFans sites. They may not have physical sex with you, but they're still selling it. It's insane how much money these girls make by not leaving their homes.
